Also Artimis Fowl from the Artimis Fowl series is absolute brilliant and underhanded. He is almost always ten steps ahead and is wonderfully sarcastic at times while still occasionally showing his vulnerability and youth. Watching his character grow over the course of the series from an unscrupulous, modern thief in to the hero(ok let's be real here more like an anti-hero) he becomes is breathtaking. Though this book is a mix of sci-fi and fantasy
Next Thrawn from the Thrawn series. This one is a Star Wars book but however contaversial the movies have been lately, this book is still amazing. He's like a Star Wars Sherlock Holmes. He is a higher up in the empire so this book is rife with political intrigue and Thrawn is always in the middle of it. He is manipulating and two books in we still don't know who he's loyal to, the empire or the Chiss ascendancy. Plus he's just plain relentless and pity less, good qualities to have if you working for the empire. But he's not all bad he did care enough to risk the emperors wrath to save some kids of his own kind.
I know this was long but I didn't see the characters/books motioned and wanted to give them a shout out
