Any time there is uncertainty, the LG person will err on the side of 'well, the King IS King.'Even if a law seems harsh or the servants of the king seem to be overstepping their bounds, the LG person will tend to believe 'well, they wouldn't be running from the cops if they didn't have something to hide.'A CG person believes law, authority, lipservice to 'honor,' and all that are rot, self-serving excuses used to bind and destroy the spirit. Civilization serves to crush, not to uplift. Freedom of expression, freedom to live without the threat of the king's men, that is the true good.A CG will honor agreements... when it is the right thing to do. A CG person isn't untrustworthy, at least if you understand his motives. A CG person isn't capricious at all -- randomness has nothing to do with it.A NG person sees laws and obligation as potentially good, potentially bad, and is more apt to pick and choose. He may follow rules simply so as not to create trouble until he knows he must act against a rule, not because he has any great respect for rules in of themselves.Anyhow, that's my view.I'd argue the character is CN. Acting 'honorably' can mean almost anything, so isn't a real strong indication of anything. His 'goodness' comes more from a moralistic 'this is the way people should live' rather than a looser altruism. He espouses a goal he thinks would be good for all people, but he's willing to promote it through torture and any means necessary, which isn't a particularly hardline 'good' view.He has absolutely no trust or believe in rules at all, doesn't heed any authority but his own. And his honor doesn't get in the way of pragmatism.I vote CN.</blockquote>
