Definetly Cauri.
Make you strong places to dwell and practice the evil of your arts. Build great monuments to stand through the ages and remind your followers of the task with which you have been charged. Use these halls of iniquity to perpetrate your schemes against the infestation that has taken the fields and lakes of this land from you, their rightful masters. Never forget the hatred that must finally overcome and consume mankind. Dwell in your dungeons and brood. - Sheltem the Dark

Indeed. But speaking of which, is there a list of hirelings and their portraits, so that you could avoid the "identical twin" syndrome after you have chosen your main character? It's quite jarring when you see two people who are absolutely identical. And even then, aren't there duplicates within the hirelings themselves?

All the male portraits are used.

The blonde male cleric, the second male knight, and the brown minotaur, appear THREE times each.

No, a shame is that PC portraits are used for NPCs hirelings at all.

Does that include minotaurs, trolls and, err, dragons?

In which case, only 4 portraits are left, two of which are of the same class. Well, talk about limited choice.

Has anyone ever made a hireling editor, by the way? Or maybe editing a party member and discarding it changes the hireling's appearance in the tavern?

Something like MM7Che/MM8Che? Can't remember what it was called...

If you look closely, it shows for all of them except the top row dark elf, and the bottom row necromancer and vampire.

And the bottom row cleric (which is a cutie, I agree) has a cameltoe showing 8|

It was a tough choice between the top cleric and Cauri, but ultimately I went for the top cleric. Especially when I remembered that Cauri's default voice is the Bimbo one. :)

Is that a black widow spider simbol on your crotch, or are you just happy to see me?

They've got 'em too. Just a bit more difficult to see because of black outfits.

And why the lich isn't there ? (even this one got 'em too.... :-D )

Because I hate the developer's lazy job on Liches in MM8. Portraits and voice are recycled from MM7. Whenever I promote my necros in MM8 I change their sprite/voice back to their original Necromancer one (via MM8CHE) and I pretend that while they may have become undead, their body hasn't YET started to decay :D

I just wish my female lich's voice didn't sound like she'd smoked 800 cigarettes in 3 minutes . . .

It's almost universally agreed that MM6 had hideous character portraits all around.
