I think most people would struggle to name the main characters from Shadow of the Beast, Agony or Lionheart, much as they're iconically Amiga games. A bit of invention and distinction is what makes a character memorable.
Lemmings are probably the main ones that are iconic enough, and largely associated with the Amiga (even if it got released for something like 28 different formats in some form) - certainly more so that the Cannon Fodder soldiers mentioned (who are only really memorable because they're the first ones you get, and only because they're named after the creators) or the Chaos Engine's six available soldiers.
If it has to be just one specific character, something like Putty, Soccer Kid, Zool (my own utter loathing of the first one notwithstanding) or maybe James Pond (though his different look in the sequel might count against him?) will be a lot more attached to the Amiga in people's memories.
