Jehu

One of my favorite Bible characters is Jehu.
In 2 Kings 9, he is anointed king by a prophet in a closed room.
When his buddies as him about it, he's just like - you know the guy and the sort of things he says.
His friends don't buy it and he tells them about the anointing.
I like that he's a jokester even when something super serious happened to him.

I also like his determination to do what was right by God. Eliminating Jezebel. Tricking the prophets of Baal by pretending to be one of them but instead to kill them all.

He must have been quite a character!
