I loved Hierophant, she was easily my favourite. I love Emilie de Ravin, and I thought her character was a good mixture of completely adorable and undeniably psychotic. I was pretty pissed when she died. I wish she'd stuck around in the movie longer, or had more screen time.
I also liked Fool (Joe Anderson), Chariot (Rob Corddry), and High Priestess (Maggie Q).
The fear of blood tends to create fear for the flesh.
Tough call. My favorite was probably Chariot, he grew on me as the movie went on. The Magician was good, but needed a bigger role.
Actually, I think the main problem with this movie is that they go from zero to bloodbath in about seven seconds. *Horror* films dedicate more time to character development. Hell, your average Friday the 13th film gives you 30 minutes to settle in before half the cast gets wiped out. With all this comedic talent, it was a shame to see they didn't get more room to play. The in-credits jokes are a perfect example of how Bob Odinkirk and Rob Corddry can ad lib, so why not let them shine during the film instead of just after it?

Chariot and the Empress
shareSpoilers bla bla
How is Hermit NOBODY'S favorite character?? He was the most bad ass and professional player in the game. He kicked Chariot's ass and later killed him by throwing scissors at him, he boxed the other guy in the ventilation system, and he also kicked the crap out of Temperance. Not to mention he was the only one who knew where the exit was. He was the most important, if not coolest character. So why no love people? :(
Chariot by a landslide. I also liked High Priestess and even Empress a bit. And I liked Carl and Neil.
No offense to chrisdude, but I felt that Hermit just wasn't in the movie long enough to make an impression, and the fact that he killed the agent that I liked the best made me like him even less. The fact that he knew about the exit was more of a MacGuffin than anything. And he had the undignified end of getting shot in the crotch and being left to either bleed to death or blow up.
He probably was the most professional of the agents, and didn't have a problem killing agents from either side. But the thread is about which agent was your favorite, not who was the best. My favorite actor to play James Bond was Timothy Dalton, and I think he was the best, but many would disagree. It's not that either opinion is wrong, it's just different (Those of us that read Fleming's books all seem to favor Dalton, as he's closest to the Fleming version of the character)
At the end of the day, Chariot was like an American version of James Bond, minus the class, and with a bitter streak and an even more pronounced drinking problem. And Corddry had most of the films best lines.
I love to love my Lisa.
I would say empress and high priestess were my favorite assassins.

He was hilarious.
