I think Granny and Vimes are compelling partly because they also both know that if they did chose Wrong, they’d be really, really good at it. The only antagonist I think who can actually compare with that is Carcer.

Anyone who feels the need to say that may be technically correct about their bones, but they always seem to have a very racist brain in their head

Go for a variant of ancient Athens - if you can find someone in a lower tax bracket who WON’T swap their entire financial life for yours (income, taxes, debts, properties, everything), only then can you claim you’re being taxed too much.
