I don't want to choose just one fellow, I'll pick one from several races to make it easier.

Dwarf: Gimli

Elf: Fingolfin

Human: Turin

Hobbit: Samwise

Maia: Tharkun

Valar: Tulkas

Well Certainly I didn't limit myself there.. The greatest of Dwarves, my race, were not well described.. or did not appear enough for me to choose them, such as Durin.. Though maybe Telchar.. though he is only mentioned. Anyways Thorin is a fine fellow, you must understand he was under alot of stress during the adventure to the Lonely mountain, but from what I hear from my ancestors, he's quite the good fellow in better conditions.
