My favorite character is Garak. Charming, queer-coded, mysterious, and exciting. His love of his culture, particularly its art, is wonderful.
He obviously loves being a mentor, and considers it important even though he doesn't see himself as part of the community on Deep Space Nine. He mentors Bashir, then Ziyal, and finally attempts to take Nog under his wing, though it didn't work out so well with Nog.
Given his attitude to violence in general and institutionalized violence in particular, he's not someone I would want to know in RL. (Nor would he be very impressed with my pacifism, I imagine.)
