Trying to understand your idea: John
Shade, Kinbote and Gradus, Sebastian, Pnin, Fyodor ( and
perhaps Van Veen) ...are they the "good guys"? What do you
mean by "good" ( and "bad")?
Did you simply mean "the guys"
and not the gals?

Birthday Wish
A noble goal to compile such a list.
It did seem to me with respect to your query "I have been
wondering...why we do not know Humbert's birthday (in
contrast to Fyodor G-Ch's, his father's, Sebastian Knight's,
Pnin's, and John Shade & co's) that the list of
characters for whom we know birthdays is a list of good
guys, exclusively.
