Vetinari is maintainer of balance in the Ankh-Morpork universe. Sometimes things swing wildly far out of balance but he always (with collaborators taking the lead) restores it. He is not very well-liked, but is recognized as “all alternatives are worse” option.

Reminds me a bit of Cromwell in Wolf Hall, though he serves an actual monarch and does in fact harbor an agenda (of bringing scripture to all via Reformation)

Havelock is my very favorite Pratchett character. Granny Weatherwax comes a close second; she's often a rural mirror to his city realpolitick. (And "slouching toward utopia" is a wonderful turn of phrase, which I will be appropriating.)
