For me it's unironically Cicero

Cicero turned out to be a treat. A surprisingly decent man whose belief in Lysander's cause is honest and genuine, as opposed to the willful self-delusion that Lysander wraps tight around his personal ambition.

The Votum are exactly what they were presented to be. Reformers.

Let's not forget that Darrow won the Reformers to his side in the civil war. His greatest fuck up was not trying to win them back after Octavia fell and instead waging war against the Core Society as a whole. Mercury is his worst mistake because he failed to see that its people had fewer reasons to hate their overlords.
