Maybe Rowl, from The Aeronaut's Windlass. Realistically I identify with most of the lead characters in my own stories no matter how hard I try write them with variety.

Garp, from The World Acccording to Garp. Not admire as much as identify with. We have a lot in common, good and bad. What a great book.

Honorable mentions:
Alice, from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
Godzilla
Bugs Bunny

Good question.... so much so I can't give just one answer. Sir Able in Gene Wolfe's Wizard Knight series. Who doesn't want to be a hero? Herman Hesse's Siddhartha; we all want peace and harmony; Augustus McCrae in Larry McMurty's Lonesome Dove, a man who lived life to the hilt. Endless others...

I've always identified with sidekicks for some reason. The Robins and Ron Weasleys of the world. As a kid, I always preferred Knuckles the Echidna to Sonic the Hedgehog and Ultra Magnus over Optimus Prime.

As far as characters I admire, there's loads. But I'm going to list a few that are off the beaten track.

The Rock (WWE 1999-2002)
'Stone Cold' Steve Austin (WWE 1997-2001)
Mark Anthony (Julius Caesar)
Beatrice (Much Ado About Nothing)

It has varied over time, I think, so there are many.

Batman was an early one (the Adam West version, though I now prefer Batman : The Animated Series).
Luke, Obi-wan (both Alec and Ewan), and Yoda from Star Wars
Abraham Van Helsing from Dracula
Sherlock Holmes (I'm more of a Watson so definitely an "admire" on this one)

Hard to pin down any current ones since I haven't been watching/reading much fictional media, though some of these would still hold true.

Horatio Hornblower. He's a character created by C. S. Forester.

Hornblower is courageous, intelligent, and a skilled seaman, but he is also burdened by his intense reserve, introspection, and self-doubt, and is described as "unhappy and lonely". Despite numerous personal feats of extraordinary skill and cunning, he belittles his achievements by numerous rationalisations, remembering only his fears. He consistently ignores or is unaware of the admiration in which he is held by his fellow sailors. He never credits his ability to persevere, think rapidly, organise, or cut to the heart of a matter. His sense of duty, hard work, and drive to succeed make these imagined negative characteristics undetectable by everyone but him and, being introspective, he obsesses over petty failures to reinforce his poor self-image. His introverted nature continually isolates him from the people around him, including his closest friend William Bush, and his wives never fully understand him. He is guarded with nearly everyone, unless the matter is the business of discharging his duty as a King's officer, in which case he is clear and decisive.

Hornblower possesses a highly developed sense of duty, though on occasion he is able to set it aside; for example, in Hornblower and the Hotspur, he contrives an escape for his personal steward, who would otherwise have to be hanged for striking a superior officer.

He suffers from seasickness at the start of his voyages. As a midshipman, he becomes seasick at the sheltered roadstead of Spithead, an embarrassment which haunts him throughout his career.

A voracious reader, he can discourse on both contemporary and classical literature. His skill at mathematics makes him both an adept navigator and an extremely talented whist player. He uses his ability at whist to supplement his income during a poverty-stricken period of inactivity in the naval service.

I admire Poe's Raven. I think there is sensuality in dark. It was the bird that made his words flow. I am no Poe but I feel his ghost in my veins...pulsing.
