The Knight (the representation of chivalry), the Parsoner (the representation of the ideal preist), and the Plowman (the representation of the perfect Christian lay person). Although, the Oxford Cleric (representation of the scholar) is also very virtuous. The four of them are Chaucer's four stereotypes. ---- A different opinion
Chaucer seems to have nothing but praise for the Parson (who also gets the beautiful tale of Griselda). Chaucer says almost nothing about the Ploughman, and his teasing of the Clerk of Oxford is very mild. These three characters are presented as having more virtues than failings.
For many years the Knight was also considered to be favourably portrayed for many years, but Terry Jones' book 'Chaucer's Knight: Portrait of a Medieval Mercenary' suggested that there are subtle details in the portrayal which might have warned a contemporary audience that the Knight is an unprincipled soldier of fortune.
Terry Jones' book has not been generally accepted, but nor has it been notably refuted. The Knight is probably at best a dubious character until someone re-establishes his good name.
