Ahh, the tortured hero! I must say Gideon in CAPTIVE OF SIN is a particularly delicious example of the TH. And Anna, frankly, I think you need to stand in line when it comes to Gideon. Charis and I have a time-share arrangement! Another great TH is Jervaulx in Kinsale's Flowers from the Storm. I know he's one of your favourites, too.
