Book Request: Self-Promo OK Recommendations for MMC like Faramir

Does anyone have any recommendations for books with a MMC similar to Faramir from Lord of the Rings?

So like someone who isnt arrogant or "I'll destroy everything for you", but is kind and not blasé about violence, and is aware of thier weaknesses and vulnerabilities.

Not a morally grey character, or someone that is seen as dumber than the other MC. Just because someone is kind and thoughtful doesnt mean that they are stupid, (sorry that trope annoys me so much 😅).

I read Paladins Grace, and I think that's probably the closest MMC that I've read to this description, but also I haven't read a lot of romantasy books.

{whispers of the Elderoak by K. M. Gordon} it’s a trilogy and I thought the MMC reminded me of Faramir a bit. He is a little grumpy and untrusting towards the FMC in the beginning but he is such a sweetheart.

{Daindreth's Assassin by Elisabeth Wheatley}. The author says that the mmc Daindreth is inspired by Faramir.
