Aragorn gets my vote. Although he seems to be a mere wanderer, his stature and actions shows the kingship he has hidden. He follows Frodo towards Mordor, when he could have stayed and tried to win his kingdom. He would forsake all that if Frodo asked him to go with him to Mount Doom. And he holds back all the uruks, so Frodo can escape, although he must have known only a miracle would save him from a foe so great in numbers. And at the end, when Merry and Pippin is captured, he wants to rescue them, although it must seem like a hopeless task. He is for me everything that a man can hope to be.
