Who Is Your Favourite Diadochi?

does Demetrius the Besieger count? Because he built the Helepolis at the siege of Rhodes, the coolest ancient siege weapon ever! Even though it failed miserably...
 
I have to vote Seleucus as well, but Ptolemy has a special place in my heart for the inbreeding and fratricide that ensued over his empire.
 
Ptolemy

Ptolemy didn't get greedy; he knew he couldn't grab the whole empire so he simply carved off a very rich portion thereof.
 
I've always had a soft spot for Ptolemy for being the underdog for much of the war, while Antigonas one eyed and his Demetrios both strike me as power crazed maniacs ( i've just read christian Cameron's the destroyer of cities about the siege of Rhodes.)

Eumenes the Cardian was pretty awesome too.
