[QUOTE="WizarDru, post: 585413, member: 151"] There are quite a few characters with strong moral convicitions in SOI&F...but some of them have significant character flaws, and others understand the value of RealPolitik. Moreover, GRRM is very skilled at leading you by the nose, with regards to playing off of your expectations. Suffice it to say that several characters that you THINK you know in GoT turn out to be very different animals when you find out more about their pasts and the truth of past events. I would also put forth that almost all of the Stark clan are VERY moral characters, but each has different perspectives and beliefs. You also haven't met many of the characters who are closer to these qualities of 'straight hero'. Most of the characters in the series are in a moral grey area...much like life. However, if you're looking for heroes...you'll get your share. One might argue that Bran and his sisters, while not being brave warriors in the classic mode of a knight, are classic heroes, for showing strength and courage in the face of horrible events.
