Favorite Male Final Fantasy character?

Probably Auron...or Shadow. Tough choice! I've always loved Shadow and his dog, he's my favorite character because of how stone cold he is, able to turn off his emotions and kill anything for money to survive. Auron has the same kind of vibe, of too cool for school. I love his calm Samurai design and all-knowing, yet quiet personality. But I'll say my favorite is Shadow, because of his bond with his dog and being a tormented Ninja and one of the few FF characters that was a 'bad guy' before joining the team, or still kind of is actually... A feared ninja-assassin/burgler who's only friend in the world is his equally badass doberman?! C'mon! I'm sold.

EDIT: Ah and I got to also nominate Laguna to my top favorites, I reeeally loved his story and character.

Also, least favorite: Zell...or Tidus.
