He's a rogue; not a corrupt or cruel person, but certainly not bound to moral strictures of right and wrong. And he isn't stupid; he's impetuous, not afraid to admit he doesn't know how to resolve a situation, but confident in his ability to figure it out and make it all come out satisfactorily.<br /><br />And he doesn't have to be incredibly handsome either - in fact I think astounding good looks detracts from his charisma. But above average intellegence and resourcefulness is an absolute must. Love those geek/nerds.<br /><br />McGyver; Quantum Leap; Indiana Jones; and my newest favorite, Burn Notice.<br /><br />Yes, those are all TV series, not novels, but you get the idea :)<br /><br />.......dholedolorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715849844092553699noreply@blogger.com
