honor theme

A character steadfastly sticks to a traditional moral code in spite of temptation to do otherwise. It nearly always has to do with being honest and defending ones reputation.

Examples

Worf, being a true man of honor, implored the Klingon authorities to grant honorable deaths to three Klingon renegades whom he had come to respect in tng1x20 "Heart of Glory".
