Luecas my blademaster Tower Guard from Tarmon Gaidon. Though I didn't start as a know-nothing trainee like in Ark's Wheel of Time example I did move from being an experienced warrior to instructor in the White Tower, to fleeing to the Little Tower after the split and then eventually just getting tired of being a pawn for Aes Sedai shit and murdering one in her sleep for being so manipulative. He was one of the few characters on the MU to being given a heron-marked sword earned through roleplay and time instead of newer system that was implemented where they were given out as participation trophies (literally)
Also Mikhail Volkov, my irritable Russian Warden from Dark Spires. The bad cop to everyone else's good. He had spent time in a gulag in the Soviet Union and hadn't cracked so he had no patience for those that did.
