Best sci-fi general/captain/admiral/commander/leader ever?

seriously guys, think about it:

1. leading all free humans on earth.
2. wanted by killer robots and treacherous humans alike.
3. lives a clustered, hermit-like existence, plotting the fate of human kind both present and past.
4. constantly one step ahead of evil cybernet baddies, thwarting their time-travel assassination attempts.

look at point #3: it's like he lives in his mom's basement, hidden from human contact, moving his little chess pieces. I'd say like some 90% of AT members, no?
 
my first instinct was to with picard, darth vader, or admiral adama.

but i'm going with admiral thrawn because he was pure awesomeness in the books, which to this day are the only novels I've read all the way through more than once.

luke skywalker and lando calrissian shouldn't be on this list.

Stanley Tweedle calling out Mantrid to try and stop the universe from being converted to cluster drones took serious stones as well.

That may be the smartest and unique sequence of sci-fi episodes that hardly anybody has seen.

Of course, blowing up a planet just to get into a brothel because he didn't have any cash gets a +1 as well. Kirk just never thought of it 🙂

I loved the first season, didn't care much for it not long after that.
 
It was sort of tough, but I had to go with Jack O'Neill - he is a tough badass that knows how to clown around and have a good time, but again in the end he always seemed to have everybody's back.
