My favorite character is "Lorien", from Babylon 5 (a "television novel" five years long). He is the sole survivor of his race, which preceded all other intelligent life in our galaxy. His race guided all subsequent civilizations along in technology , politics, ethics etc.

I was not familiar with that character; so I "googled" him. Sounds like an interesting and complicated "duo" character.
