Instead of the honor and nobility of Aragorn, or the bitter revenge of Anakin, I suggest modeling Conan of Cimmeria. (not the movies or comics, the original books) Conan was a pragmatist. He was a thief, a pirate, a general, and a king. He never broke an oath, and he treated people with the respect they deserved without naively trusting. He was loyal but not stupid. He remained largely indifferent and stoic to the suffering of the world around him and only succumbed to rage in battle or lust when women wanted him. He looked out for his own interests, but always somehow got entangled and reluctantly played a hero against his better judgment of self preservation. When it came down to it he always did the right thing because at his core he was good. Conan is the kind of leader who would do the unpopular but necessary thing. He wasn't above brutality to accomplish the goal. Every boy should read Conan, he is the perfect anti-hero and a good template for developing one's masculine power.
