Lawful Neutral	comment	Character Alignment Lawful Good \| Neutral Good \| Chaotic Good Lawful Neutral \| True Neutral \| Chaotic Neutral Lawful Evil \| Neutral Evil \| Chaotic Evil One of the nine alignments from the best-known Character Alignment system. Lawful Neutral characters believe in order — personal, systemic, peace, three of them or either — above all else. They will always seek to obey and preserve order, even to the inconvenience of themselves and others, and even if they themselves admit the law in question is an annoying one. While a Lawful Good character may justify breaking his code of conduct by appealing to the greater good that transcends all things, a Lawful Neutral character will not, since the greater good does not enter into it. An important thing to note is that Lawful Neutral characters follow their own personal vision of order and law. This order may be defined by the laws of their current location, or it might not: Lawful Neutral characters will not obey every law they ever encounter, only those that are part of or do not conflict with the code they themselves obey. They may perfectly rebel against authority if they disagree with this authority's laws, and still be Lawful. Lawful Neutral comes in a number of different forms: Authority First and Foremost: Someone with this mindset believes that the context matters more than the content; the rules matter because they give order to society more than they matter themselves. They might go so far as to believe (possibly correctly) that their superiors have the right to interpret or define the rules as they see fit. Such characters believe in My Country / My Master, Right or Wrong, though the average example is someone who obeys any figure of authority (say, a policeman) without question, possibly even with admiration. In more extreme cases, this can lead to Just Following Orders, and whether or not they slip into Knight Templar or Lawful Evil territory is a question of whether said authority is evil and is getting them to commit atrocities — however, they still have moral lines they won't cross, and if their ethics are pushed too far, they will disobey, and are not above holding their superiors to account if they are found to be corrupt or incompetent. This is what separates them from Lawful Stupid. Equality Under the Law: The Law applies to everybody, friend or foe, superior or subordinate. At worst they run the risk of being bigots towards other cultures and codes of law. Essentially, they do not justify the Law with arguments about there not being anything better, but those that argue that these Laws are the better, and may resist even legal attempts to change them. They are also the most likely to hold their superiors to account for failing to follow the rules, whether for heroic reasons or villainous ones. May or not may be Lawful Stupid. Internal Moral Compass: This character follows a personal code, including those that have been organised by another — for example, a warrior code or a religious creed — or one they have constructed for themselves. They will obey this code rigidly and to the letter, and it will usually supersede (but make allowances for) any of the other types, but it (or their devotion to it) is too rigid for them to be considered Chaotic, even if it puts them at odds with the established system of law and order, while they lack the moral or immoral conviction to be considered Good or Evil. At their best, they will obey the spirit as well as the letter of their codes, or at least try to or recognise that they must, but at their worst, they can become a Principles Zealot or a Tautological Templar who puts their own code — and their own interpretation of said code — above all else. The Lawmaker: This character arises in a vacuum — they find themselves in a situation where neither Authority nor the Rules apply, such as an After the End scenario where law and order have broken down, and seek to establish order (or follow another who does). Typically, they will appeal to a pre-established system as the basis — murder is wrong because it used to be wrong, or because civilised societies are expected to have outlawed such acts. It can also occur where there is a sense of order, just not one that the character recognises as valid, such as a Wretched Hive where the "order" comes from corruption and Might Makes Right, or more dubiously, a working society they deem to be chaotic or inferior. In these cases, they will probably appeal to their own rules or the rules of their own society or culture. At their best, they will bring a sense of structure and justice to a volatile situation, but at their worst, this type can slide into bigotry and tyranny, worsened by the fact that they are basically making the rules from scratch. Any of these types can fall into Lawful Stupid if they are not careful, and not thinking critically enough. However, none of them automatically equate to it, and each has as good a chance of being a Reasonable Authority Figure or equivalent as the next. A Lawful Neutral alignment is easy to play because it involves adherence to defined codes first and foremost — all personal moral issues come second. On the other hand, it can become rather restrictive and predictable. Those adhering to personal codes rather than the law may find it tough to uphold, as the only one to make sure they keep to their code is them. Furthermore, inexperienced roleplayers who play as Lawful Neutral 'cop' types may find themselves slipping into Lawful Stupid territory. The key here is the desire to preserve or create order, at any personal cost. The character will be unquestioningly devoted to the written code, either because they don't have the intelligence to apply critical thinking to it, or because while they are intelligent and capable of independent thought when needs be, preservation of the society is the ultimate goal, and it is believed that the Law and the society itself are inescapably the same thing. If the Law is compromised, the society will go with it. Altruism and egoism are generally regarded as irrelevant, with each being considered as potentially dangerous as the other. In theory, many loyal servants of the Empire, and Lawful Evil Big Bads in general, should tend towards this alignment because they believe in authority and law over considerations of good or evil. However, in practice, this is the type of Lawful Neutral character that is by far the most likely to end up doing evil deeds by following orders, slipping into the Lawful Evil alignment. We must reiterate: Lawful Neutral does not necessarily mean Lawful Stupid. Lawful Neutral will not necessarily obsess over every law, consider all crimes as equal, refuse to compromise his moral code at all costs, and nastier extremism. Yes, there are Principles Zealot Knight Templar Lawful Neutrals, but it doesn't mean Lawful Neutral IS this.

Lawful Neutral / int_117116ef	comment	The titular penguins in The Penguins of Madagascar are this to varying degrees, because although they are willing to keep peace and order in the zoo, they will not hesitate to beat up anybody who pisses them off. Skipper tends towards Lawful Stupid. Kowalski remains firmly Lawful, despite his experiments going wrong (he doesn't mean for them to). Rico tends towards Chaotic Neutral, but usually obeys orders. Private tends towards Lawful Good, but sometimes obeys orders of dubious morality because they are orders.

Lawful Neutral / int_11b7db91	comment	Earl of Lemongrab of Adventure Time adheres to Equality Under the Law, because of the Blue-and-Orange Morality aspect to his style of ruling. According to Word of God, he is not evil, (instead, he's described as being "completely unadjusted to living,") an idiot, a jerk, has more or less good intentions, LOVES order, and follows all of the rules of the kingdom- whether he, or anyone else, likes them. The rules that he makes up when he becomes the ruler of the kingdom are extremely rigid, and are often unintentionally harmful, as they involve extended periods of imprisonment.

Lawful Neutral / int_12300cc3	comment	Watchmen: Rorschach believes life has no intrinsic morality to it and crafted a moral code for himself that he sticks to unfailingly and judges everyone else by — the core of it being that if you do anything he judges "evil", you are fair game to have anything happen to you (and in a classic case of Moral Myopia, the actions Rorschach and other vigilantes undertake in the pursuit of criminals never bother him). In the end this causes him to reject the Big Bad's plan to save the world because he'll rather see the world burn than betray his principles and let evil go unpunished. Ozymandias is a complicated case, but probably fits best here. While his actions- depopulating New York, giving a dozen innocent people cancer to discredit Dr. Manhattan, cold-bloodedly murdering his absolutely loyal refugee servants to prevent them being a loose end, and pulling a You Have Outlived Your Usefulness on his loving pet Bubastis in an attempt to kill Dr. Manhattan, which turns out not to work-certainly seem like the actions of an evil character, he was only trying to avert a nuclear war that could potentially wipe out all life on Earth.

Lawful Neutral / int_131dd753	comment	Tower of God: Hatz is pretty cold to others and doesn't care about much more than climbing the Tower and honing his skills — except for his code of honour, which is central to his personality. Kallavan: After obtaining the Essence of Bravery that gave him great power while also showing him the horrors of war, he has been using that power in a quest to unite the inhabitants of the Tower under a single authority because he believes that this can stop all the strife and tragedy. First, that leader was himself, but now, it's King Jahad, and Kallavan serves as a top-ranking officer in Jahad's army. Being demoted later doesn't upset his loyalty any, but being asked to accept his loyal followers being treated as highly expendable finally causes him to question his superiors. Kallavan seems to be less keen on violence than many others in the Tower but doesn't hesitate to use it because he thinks that Utopia Justifies the Means.

This deeply angers Dragon- she genuinely wants to be good, but she also wants the freedom to choose her own actions and morality. Many of her actions over the story's course are geared towards making herself The Unfettered and switching alignment. Eventually, she does.

As the game progresses, she does pick up some Neutral Good tendencies, but otherwise, especially in regards to matters concerning making money and running Recettear, she remains this alignment without deviance, barring an exception or two made as a result of her Neutral Good tendencies.

His single-minded devotion to his mission is obviously Lawful, and his willingness to destroy countless lives in the name of it certainly doesn't make him Good... yet, he is not openly malicious either.

Lawful Neutral / int_1aacbbc9	comment	The Qunari in Dragon Age are, as a whole, a highly Lawful Neutral society. Every person in the society has a role that is decided by the government based on their skills to best accommodate them. People do not deviate from their roles in qunari society. In many cases, a qunari's name will literally consist of their role and rank in their society, such as the case with Sten. This causes a lot of consternation for Sten himself when he enters Ferelden, where, in his own words, "no one knows their place." If the Warden is female, Sten will be confused as to whether she is a woman or a soldier, as qunari women are not soldiers. The Lawful Neutral way of the Qun gets deconstructed in Dragon Age II, where the Arishok and his men are trapped in Kirkwall because the Qun's rigid restrictions on the roles of each member of their society makes it difficult for him to function in the middle of a city as mired in greed and violence as Kirkwall, especially as the Qun demands he respond to such "filth". Eventually this pushes him to assault Kirkwall with his army, viewing that as the only way to resolve the demands of the Qun, even if his assault is doomed to failure.

Lawful Neutral / int_1b8250ca	comment	Gerd Wiesler from The Lives of Others starts out as this, teaching his students matter of factly about interrogation techniques in East Germany and disregarding one student's protest that sleep deprivation is "inhuman" (even marking him in a way that implies his career will not be moving forward). Ironically, it is his Lawful Neutral nature that eventually pushes him into becoming Lawful Good, as it becomes obvious that his superior, Lt. Colonel Grubitz, is not as interested in following the law as pleasing his own superiors — hence the (at first) unjustified investigation into playwright Dreymann's life, in order to free up his girlfriend for the lecherous Minister Hempf. By the time Dreymann really is up to something (albeit something rather harmless), Wiesler is so disgusted by his superiors and so sympathetic to the playwright that he deliberately disobeys orders and protects Dreymann, at the cost of his own career.

Though he shifts a little towards Lawful Good later on. Genryusai Yamamoto almost personifies this alignment: "No personal justice takes precedence over the world's justice". Sui-Feng has some tendencies toward this alignment, but has an almost Lawful Evil stance when dealing with lawbreakers, and despite knowing what Yoruichi did, is primarily upset over her not taking her with her when she left Soul Society. Sajin Komamura is primarily motivated by sheer loyalty to Yamamoto, and is willing to do anything he asks, even lay down his life for him.

Mandos is characterized as being merciless, but also without malice — he's an old style death-god who exists solely to perform his duty of housing souls (if they're elves) or passing them on (if they're men) and to dispense prophecy as required. He was moved to mercy once in his entire existence.

His business dealings could be mercenary and he could personally be vicious and vindictive, but he also had a moral code and a sense of honor. On those occasions he did dip towards Lawful Evil, the episode would usually end with him telling the protagonists something along the lines of "You are right and I will stop taking the action you are opposing. Now get out before I change my mind."

Lawful Neutral / int_2192aeb3	comment	In the Fire Emblem series, this is the default alignment of the recurring Camus archetype, named after an Anti-Villain from Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light. While the motivations vary from character to character, they will all fight to the death for a country they know is in the moral wrong simply because it is their duty as a knight to do so, but are otherwise not malevolent in any way.

Lawful Neutral / int_22119589	comment	Jack Bristow, Sydney's father on Alias, is a fascinating treatment of the alignment, because he follows two overriding concerns without question. The first, and the most important, is to keep his daughter safe; as she's an active spy and field agent, this is even less easy than it is for normal fathers. The second, due his being a spy himself, is to safeguard the economic, diplomatic, and military security of the United States (for whom his daughter works, as well). They usually go together. The fun comes when said goals clash.

Lawful Neutral / int_27831967	comment	The various characters of Parks and Recreation, mostly being bureaucrats, are different kinds of Lawful Neutral. Leslie frequently veers into Lawful Good territory, but thus far has proven unwilling to bend the rules to do what's right (until the Season 2 finale... which ended up aboveboard anyway...), and in any case, she sees "serving the public" as part of the job description (which, in truth, is a lot more likely at the local level). On the other hand, you have Ron Swanson, the Libertarian head of the department, who wants to cut government to the bone and would border on True Neutral if it weren't for him having a set of rules of his own that is utterly strict, and is simply 99% incompatible with the current government. Chris and Ben, as state auditors turned city managers are the most clear-cut and consistent Lawful Neutral among the main cast, as their job is to enforce rules, make frequently unpopular decisions or refuse to help the other character because their position requires them to stay impartial.

Lawful Neutral / int_2a1f0a3e	comment	Basically everyone in For the People, a Courtroom Drama set in the US Southern District Court of New York. They're all generally good people, but they're constrained by the law and often unable to do the moral thing. Public defenders trend a bit more Lawful Good, since their clients are usually sympathetic, but they also occasionally have to do some distasteful things, for example, a Syrian-born Muslim gets assigned to defend a Neo-Nazi accused of trying to assassinate a Congresswoman. He realises that his client is actually innocent, and manages to introduce enough doubt into the prosecution's case to get an acquittal, but still doesn't feel good about it because, while the guy didn't do it, he wishes he did and now he knows he can "get away with it", might actually try to. A crooked judge shows up in one episode who is solidly Lawful Evil though. In an early episode, an idealistic new public defender finds a desperate woman trying to file an injunction that will prevent her being thrown out of her home, but she's fifteen minutes past the deadline, and the seemingly officious court clerk flatly refuses to help her or do anything. The lawyer spends the episode exploiting loopholes to stop the woman getting thrown out into the street, but when she goes back to the clerk at the end of the episode to gloat, the clerk points out another woman in the same situation and asks if she's going to help her too. She explains that every day people come in who are late, or have improperly filled out paperwork, or fell through the cracks in some way, and her heart breaks for them; but the seemingly arbitrary rules she has to enforce are the only guardrails they have on a barely functioning system, and if she starts bending the rules it will collapse. Perhaps the best example of this is the case of a man who agreed to carry a rucksack across town for his cousin in exchange for a few hundred bucks, which turned out to contain heroin. He ends up getting sentenced to a mandatory ten years in prison. Everyone agrees that he shouldn't be but they're helpless to stop it because the law is ironclad and unbending in drug cases. The prosecutor can't charge him with a lesser offence because the amount he was holding is just enough to qualify for a federal trafficking charge; the public defender can't cut him a deal because he has no information to trade; in desperation, the judge tries to instruct the jury that a conviction means an automatic ten year sentence, basically trying for jury nullification, but the law won't allow him to.

His only real concern is money and expanding his economic empire, but he won't (openly) break the law; he'll instead work to change it, using all his power and influence to do so through perfectly legal channels. Sister Miriam Godwinson and her Lord's Believers definitely clock in as Lawful, but whether they are Good (genuinely helping a world filled with sin towards salvation, even when evil resists that salvation), Neutral (upholding the Bible to the absolute letter without care for the meaning behind it), or Evil (fanatics out to actively purge the world of nonbelievers) is really down to how sympathetic the player is to her agenda — the game itself portrays her as aggressive but does not imply her to be good or evil. Colonel Corazon Stantiago of the Spartan Federation is slightly less ambiguous. She runs a militaristic Police State and believes strongly in a proper command structure, so she's lawful. She desperately wants the people of Planet to survive, and if she thinks you aren't doing it well enough, she'll bomb you all back to planetfall.

Balthazar in Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal is indicated as Lawful Neutral by his game file. (There was also a Word of God statement somewhere on the internet that assumed he was Lawful Good, which would work about equally well.) He's a monk — an inherently disciplined Lawful Character Class — and one of the Five, powerful Bhaalspawn who are trying to kill all the other numerous children of Bhaal in order to let the evil god rise again and be rewarded with demigod status. However, Balthazar is only pretending to be on their side, and he actually sees it as his duty to kill all Bhaalspawn to prevent Bhaal ever returning. He takes this seriously; "all" means himself as well after all the others are gone.

Lawful Neutral / int_2ef7cb74	comment	In Lyrical Nanoha, it seems that the higher you climb the Space/Time Administration Bureau's ladder, the more you shift from Lawful Good to Lawful Neutral. For example, the Bureau founders have become so obsessed with keeping the peace that the Combat Mages under them are little more than convenient tools to be used and discarded as necessary for this goal. General Regius goes from being Lawful Good and wanting to change the system to being Lawful Neutral and helping back several of the more ethically dubious actions of the TSAB, like the Combat Cyborg program. He despises Section 6 for being run by the "criminal" Hayate Yagami, in addition to his preference for the ground forces, and tries to get it shut down. The Wolkenritter start out as this, presumably obeying their masters' orders in order to increase their power. In contrast to Lawful Good Signum and Neutral Good Shamal and Vita, Zafira retains this alignment after coming into Hayate's service, stating that as a guardian beast, he does what is best for his master regardless of whether it is right or wrong.

Him defying YHVH is not out of personal grudge or anything like that, but instead due to him believing that is what the laws of the universe dictate and that it is his job to test YHVH to see if he is still a worthy god.

Much of the problems in the play are caused by his adherence to what he believes is God's law; while he doesn't particularly like the idea of killing people, he still spends the play trying to kill Claudius because he considers it his obligation to avenge his father's death. Through his obsession with carrying out this duty, Hamlet ends up getting nearly every other character killed, and he doesn't feel terribly bad about any of it. His intentional killing of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern pushes him very close to Lawful Evil, but he may have thought that they were willing co-conspirators with Claudius (and, depending on the production, he may be correct). It's also ambiguous how much of his asshole behaviour is insanity-induced.

Upon discovering that an adopted child is being abused by her Atlesian step-mother and step-sisters and contemplating revenge against them, he decides to train her in secret so that when she becomes a legal adult, she can escape them and join a Huntsman academy. He later attempts to arrest the child after she inevitably breaks under their abuse and kills them all; despite the circumstances, he still attempts to hold her responsible for murder. His "betrayal" is the final step in Cinder's Start of Darkness. General Ironwood is the most ruthless member of the Benevolent Conspiracy, unambiguously trying to do the right thing, but insisting that everyone do things according to his martial philosophy and doing an end-run around the Big Good when he feels he can handle the protection of the people better. However, he suffers from paranoia and mistrust, and from Volume 4 onwards, he becomes increasingly authoritarian in how he protects the kingdom from the Big Bad. With the villains exploiting his Trauma Button, he becomes such a handful for the heroes in Volume 7 that they end up clashing. Even in Volume 8, once his demand for blind obedience to his interpretation of the rule of law has transformed him from hero to villain, his goals remain fixated on protecting Atlas from the Big Bad.

Lawful Neutral / int_3b34143f	comment	Harry Potter: Cornelius Fudge, Minister for Magic. He does associate himself with Lawful Evil characters like Dolores Umbridge and Lucius Malfoy, but he himself is just an idiot. Caretaker Argus Filch and his cat Mrs. Norris. They hate it when anyone break the rules in Hogwarts. For much of the series, Percy Weasley is also Lawful Neutral. He's a strict, no-nonsense prefect obsessed with following the rules and making sure everything runs in a neat and orderly fashion, and he initially sides with the Ministry of Magic over his own family when the two come into conflict. However, he is absolutely not a Death Eater, spends most of Deathly Hallows trying to keep his head down until an opportunity to backstab the corrupt Ministry arises, and does so with gusto during the final battle. He returns to the reformed Ministry after the war. Barty Crouch, Sr. was this, too. He was not so much opposed to Death Eaters as afraid of associating with them, and therefore ruining his reputation, so he made a big show of abandoning his son after his allegiance to Voldemort was found out. Later, he hatched a successful plan to get Barty Jr. out of Azkaban using his wife and Polyjuice Potion. A lot of people initially saw Umbridge this way; even the blood-quill could be excused as My Master, Right or Wrong or a bizarrely intense drive to strike down rulebreakers. Of course, when it came out that she was the one who set the Dementor on Harry and Dudley, it became clear that she wasn't just doing sick and twisted things when the Ministry told her to, but may actually just be a sick and twisted person in general. By Deathly Hallows, there was no denying her true alignment. Ravenclaw House are motivated by this alignment. Since they prize knowledge, wisdom and a healthy level of creativity. Ravenclaw is regarded as the most academically inclined house. Rarely do their students actively seek trouble, but you're guaranteed they'd know how to solve a puzzle or two when pushed or have no other choice. Even if certain students like Luna Lovegood tend to waltz around the rules. The Head, Professor Flitwick exemplifies the houses' true beliefs.

Lawful Neutral / int_41b0198a	comment	In The Dresden Files, the White Council of Wizards, and the Wardens in particular, tend to fall into this mindset. Morgan is a unique example: he's clearly established as this in the first book, and every time Harry interacts with him, it's clear that Morgan believes so strongly in the Seven Laws of Magic that he has absolutely zero problem with killing a warlock (a wizard that has gone power-mad after breaking the laws) even if they're a teenager. Harry thinks that Morgan has it out for him specifically for the first several books. It's not until Dead Beat that Harry realizes that Morgan is old, a couple of centuries at least, and has been using his Sight to judge warlocksnote When wizards see something with the Sight, they'll see it in the same clarity for the rest of their lives. Harry sees something he doesn't like at least once a book and has been active for about a quarter century. Morgan sees something more often than that, and has been active much longer. Harry finally realizes that Morgan isn't a zealot, he's just seen so much evidence that black magic corrupts over his life that he's decided that the Laws are the best defense against it. He expresses regret when he's ordered to kill Molly in Proven Guilty, but still moves to follow orders until other circumstances change the situation. In one of the books, Anastasia Luccio (Commander of the Wardens) explains to Harry that the Council only enforces its own Seven Laws, not national laws or moral codes — because doing otherwise would almost certainly lead to internal war between wizards. (This means, among other things, that the Council didn't take sides in World War II.) Harry himself has mused that there is nothing in the Council's laws preventing him from using magic to rob a bank. In Skin Game, Donar Vadderung describes Goodman Grey as the kind of person who, once they accept a contract, stays true to it no matter who else makes a bigger offer.

Most evident in their Ethics Committee, whose entire function is to ensure that their evil is minimized by only approving what cruelty is necessary. SCP-3922, when introduced to any sort of TV show or movie, it searches for anything that would be considered "immoral" or "illegal" and neutralizes it via Self-Insert agents referred to as SCP-3922-A. Notably, when exposed to a porn film, it did NOT interfere with the sex scenes, but had its agents standing bynote armed with rocket launchers to enforce that all activities remained consensual.

Dios, the high priest of Djelibeybi in Pyramids. An extreme example. His only interest is in maintaining the status quo and the ancient traditions of the country, and he basically runs the country on behalf of the sovereign, keeping it in a state of stagnation.

Here, their adherence to the codex is actually causing their own downfall, spending just about the entire game in a lockdown which in itself isn't doing much to improve the morale within the chapter. Even after Veronica, the chapter's voice of reason, proves that the chapter's actions are wrong, they still remain in their bunker. While they can eventually be convinced to remove the lockdown and re-emerge into the wasteland, their initially overly cautious attitude is not exactly helping them in any way, as several members note during the course of the game, and depending on whether or not the NCR (the faction that they fear the most) are around, they'll proceed to become essentially tech raiders.

Lawful Neutral / int_5bd0554b	comment	Warcraft III: For much of the game, Tyrande Whisperwind is a single-minded Lawful Neutral Action Girl. The oath she took to protect Ashenvale is her only priority and until the last moment, she seems unwilling to compromise about anything, which almost leads to the Burning Legion's victory. After some Character Development, she moves a bit on the axis, and in the expansion set, she's arguably Neutral Good. Her mantle of Lawful Neutral is then passed down to Maiev Shadowsong, who herself goes absolutely nuts by the end of the expansion pack night elf campaign and turns into some kind of hybrid between all the existing alignments. The Titans in the backstory seem to fit the bill too. They travel the cosmos, ordering worlds. Even though we've hardly seen them in action, we've seen a lot of their servants and constructs, and they don't really seem to care that much for goodness, just the avoidance of chaos. This is best seen in characters like Algalon the Observer, an entity whose job it is to alert the Titans when Azeroth has fallen to the Old Gods' corruption. If this is found to be the case, their solution then is to completely wipe out all life on Azeroth and start from scratch. Essentially, if things don't go exactly as the Titans want them to, it's completely wrong and must be destroyed.

He's someone who makes very important distinctions between Law and Justice, between the Laws and what is Right and Wrong, and that while people should answer for their crimes, it must be a just thing. Hence, what Luskan is trying to accuse you of is entirely unjust, and he'll do all it takes to clear you. He does hardline some matters, though; while he disapproves of Lord Dalren getting murdered, he's entirely convinced he should have been tried and executed immediately after the war with Luskan due to his involvement in weapons smuggling, no matter how much he monetarily paid Neverwinter's rulership to fund the defense. Storm of Zehir has an atypical example in Ribsmasher, an Ax-Crazy monk who is listed as lawful neutral mainly due to Gameplay and Story Segregation: he only seems to be lawful because monks are required to be by game mechanics. He's neutral the same way Sheogorath is: he's too insane to be anything else.

His belief that good and evil should be kept in balance, keeping with his desire for symmetry, seems more of a True Neutral idea, but the fact that he wants good and evil to be so strictly kept in equal moderation leans him toward the lawful alignment. That's not to mention all other aspects of his obsession with symmetry, which, much like any lawful-abiding character, often seeks to order and organize things to the annoyance or detriment of others. However, he does occasionally have Lawful Good tendencies, especially where his friends or innocent lives are concerned, but, more often, his obnoxious, usually debilitating need for symmetry swings him toward the Lawful Stupid side of things.

This means busting criminals by normal means, but also going to lengths such as torturing criminals, hacking the information right out of their brain, using viruses or political influence to prevent the media from obtaining information on an event happening, causing "accidents" to corrupt politicians, district attorneys, and corporate executives, or even uprooting the government's own ruling administration.

Hell, after Civil War, some might peg him as downright Lawful Stupid, but we can meet him halfway on this — it certainly showed that for him, goodness came second to law and order.

They had a regrettable tendency to be portrayed as quirky wind-up toys with an anal-retentive obsession with orderliness, but at their best the modrons — especially the more powerful ones — could be frightening alien forces that represent the concept of law in the same way that angels represent good and demons evil. The plane of Mechanus (and the home of the modrons) is made of LN, leading to such things as: Formians, who are basically Beast Wars Inferno without a robot mode. They want to enslave everything, because that way everything will be more efficient in the service of the hive. Inevitables, extraplanar robots who exist solely to enforce The Rules. Their purposes vary from killing anyone who tries to cheat death (adventurers who are raised once or twice are probably safe, liches and necromancers are screwed) to forcing people to abide by contracts. One Dragon Magazine article on the kolyaruts (the contract ones) stated outright that their reaction to mitigating circumstances is "The circumstances are indeed mitigating, but they are not part of the contract. You are therefore in breach". An entirely acceptable Kolyarut plot would have one interrupt the standard "rescue the princess" plot by explaining to the paladin that the princess was contractually obligated to remain in the villain's clutches. A more terrifying example would be the case of the Kolyarut, Obligatum. After a group of wizards summoned a powerful entity and then bound it to perform a specific task, they later stopped it and sealed it away. Obligatum was then dispatched to free said Entity because the wizards got cold feet and broke the covenant they had made with the entity. The fact that the Entity is Pandorym and is a psionic superentity tasked solely with annihilating all the gods (and possibly the whole world in the process) is utterly irrelevant to Obligatum. You don't break contracts. And there are more to replace him if he fails. Monks of 3rd Edition had to have a Lawful alignment (representing their dedication to their unique training), so if a monk isn't Good or Evil, they're this. Forgotten Realms: Helm, the god of guardians, represents the watchful and impartial protection of a charge above all else. To stand guard over an item, place or creature is the most important thing. Helm doesn't differentiate actions between good or bad, merely the fulfillment of a duty or not.

She might seem Lawful Good because she cares about The Band of Hawk, but she will follow Lawful Evil Griffith's orders without question and even kill her own comrades if they disobey them. Even after she falls in love with Guts, she still chooses to be loyal to Griffith. That is until the Eclipse; she has likely become Unaligned or True Neutral due to her impaired mental state.

Lawful Neutral / int_70814599	comment	The ascended Ancients from Stargate SG-1 are Lawful Neutral to the extreme. They believe in keeping their orders of non-interference so much that they will watch any Big Bad enslave and kill millions of people simply for keeping the freedom of will for every life. Any ascended being that stops evil and thereby interferes will be punished really hard. This transitions into Lawful Stupid territory when they refuse to intervene in Seasons 9 and 10, where the Big Bad in question is their collective Evil Twin whom they know will destroy the Ancients themselves once they've gotten the worship and thus the power of the rest of the intelligent life in the galaxy. Teal'c is an interesting case, as he is only Lawful Neutral in the Backstory. In his concern for duty above all else, he had committed atrocities as the First Prime of Apophis. By the start of the series, he seems to have had a change of heart to a more Lawful Good stance, taking the opportunity to free and join up with SG-1 to act on his alignment change.

Lawful Neutral / int_73d7930f	comment	The changelings of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine are fanatically obsessed with order and often bordering heavily on Lawful Evil. Odo is unusual for his species in that he has been around "solid" species for almost his entire life, and he understands their needs and struggles and is more understanding about their faults. When dealing with other people, he replaces his sense of order with justice, making him bordering on Lawful Good. When no harm is done or laws were broken out of desperation, he can be somewhat lenient and let people off easy, but when it comes to real criminals, he is utterly and completely without mercy and does not show any preferential treatment to anyone. This makes him the perfect head of law enforcement on a space station that would most probably be a Wretched Hive without him. He had the same job when the station was a slave labor camp, as the prisoners knew he would not abuse suspects or threaten innocents and was more willing to talk, while the overseers had complete trust that he would never allow any committed crime to go unpunished. He also gets massively annoyed when someone gets into his office or quarters and touches or moves anything even just a little bit.

The justicar's code binds her to kill those who harm innocents and save said innocents; although Samara will save a baby from a burning building and put her own life at risk, she does it because her Code demands such action and not because she wants to. Even though the code practically encourages Knight Templar behaviour at times, Samara has been a justicar for a very long time and is surprisingly non-self-righteous in how she views both the code and her forced adherence to it, and also knows how to use loopholes. She also has a very specific oath that she can (and does) give when she works with someone (in this case, Commander Shepard). When questioned about it, she states that she will do absolutely anything that Shepard asks, no question, as she is only a weapon being used. However, she then immediately follows it up by saying that, as soon as her oath and duty is complete, she will kill Shepard without hesitation if s/he forced Samara to do something against her code.

He hates slavers and criminals, not because it's evil, but because there's no challenge in hunting unarmed refugees. He approves if you support someone going after revenge (hey, you're helping out another hunter), or arming the prey to make hunters have to work harder (he doesn't see a problem with Force-wielding rakghouls — if they're harder to kill, they're worth more points).

Lawful Neutral / int_7f5bc680	comment	The Brotherhood of Steel from the Fallout series largely fall into this category, with the exception of Lyon's Brotherhood in Fallout 3, who are more Lawful Good. They are always a lawful and orderly organization, but in the first two games, are very insular in nature. Their primary function is the preservation of technology, not saving the world, and they mostly stick to it. It is possible to get them to take some minor action in the first game, but even after you join them, getting them to help you with anything is like pulling teeth. They very much have the power to oppose the super mutants, but aren't particularly concerned with doing so. One of their doctors even determines via autopsy that the super mutants are sterile and suggests that as a result, the problem will eventually sort itself out, unconcerned with the damage they'll cause in the meantime. Their presence in Fallout 2 is minimal, but the attitude is similar. The Midwestern Brotherhood splinter group from Fallout Tactics is much more proactive in regards to the state of the world, but their motivation still seems primarily about re-establishing order and civilization, and they're willing to be quite ruthless about it, to the point of reinventing a sort of pseudo-feudalism and using prisoners as essentially slave labor. The Mojave chapter of the Brotherhood in Fallout: New Vegas takes this to extreme levels. Here, their adherence to the codex is actually causing their own downfall, spending just about the entire game in a lockdown which in itself isn't doing much to improve the morale within the chapter. Even after Veronica, the chapter's voice of reason, proves that the chapter's actions are wrong, they still remain in their bunker. While they can eventually be convinced to remove the lockdown and re-emerge into the wasteland, their initially overly cautious attitude is not exactly helping them in any way, as several members note during the course of the game, and depending on whether or not the NCR (the faction that they fear the most) are around, they'll proceed to become essentially tech raiders. Paladin Danse can be described as Lawful Neutral. He believes that all ghouls and synths are a danger that should be wiped out, no matter what they've done or how good they are, because this is what the Brotherhood teaches. No one is above the rules, not even himself, as he is willing to commit suicide after discovering that he is, in fact, a synth himself.

Harry thinks that Morgan has it out for him specifically for the first several books. It's not until Dead Beat that Harry realizes that Morgan is old, a couple of centuries at least, and has been using his Sight to judge warlocksnote When wizards see something with the Sight, they'll see it in the same clarity for the rest of their lives. Harry sees something he doesn't like at least once a book and has been active for about a quarter century. Morgan sees something more often than that, and has been active much longer. Harry finally realizes that Morgan isn't a zealot, he's just seen so much evidence that black magic corrupts over his life that he's decided that the Laws are the best defense against it. He expresses regret when he's ordered to kill Molly in Proven Guilty, but still moves to follow orders until other circumstances change the situation.

Light Yagami himself might be this at best before he receives his Death Note, given that he hates all criminals in the world who may or may not be villains in nature. Uniquely among the Shinigami, Rem probably falls under this alignment. She doesn't care about good or evil as such, and her only loyalty is to Misa, who is one of the villains. She also expresses personal disgust for most of the humans fighting over the Death Note and despises their petty and callous murders for the sake of power.

According to his half-sister, he instantly reported any misbehavior she committed without fail, without any degree of spite (he mostly were genuinely sad that she had failed to live up to his own standard). Unsurprisingly, Galad eventually joins the Knight Templar Whitecloaks, though he becomes more and more of Lawful Good as series progresses. He suffered a minor mental breakdown when, as a newly baptised Child of the Light, he stumbled upon his Half-Sister Elayne, a magic using Aes Sedai on a secret mission, within the centre of the White Cloaks Power Base Amador: As a Loyal Citizen of Andor, it was his duty to Rescue Princess Elayne from the clutches of Foreign Power. As a loving Brother it was his duty to save his half-sister and reunite her to their mother. As a Child of the Light it was his duty to arrest this agent of the Aes Sedai Witches. And as a person who stood on Amadorian Soil, it was his duty to arrest any Channeler whatsoever and present them to the Children if the Light.

Soren is a good example of a person who is Lawful Neutral. He is not really evil, but not very good, but he takes his duty as protector of the kingdom very seriously. Rules are very important to him, and he does not like doing bad things, but he does them when ordered. Viren pretend to be lawful neutral, claiming that it acts in the interests of the kingdom, and therefore must make moral choices. In fact, he is much closer to Chaotic Evil. Runaan is also this. Rules and laws are even so important to him that he puts them beyond reason, bringing him to the border of Lawful Stupid.

After a notorious smuggler brought his castle food relief during a siege, he knighted the man for his heroism, but had his fingertips chopped off as punishment for his past crimes, since "a good deed does not wash out the bad". He has a reputation in-story for being completely dedicated to justice and duty, the latter of which is the only reason he's making his bid for the Iron Throne, as it is required of him as the rightful heir. Barristan the Bold is very much Lawful Neutral, utterly tied to his duty as the head of the Kingsguard, and protecting the king regardless of the said king's alignment. He stuck with the Mad King to the end even though he hated it, because it was honorable to do so... and then proceeded to serve The Usurper just as faithfully once the war was over.

Valerie is a lawful neutral fighter who used to be a paladin apprentice until she lashed out at the spiritual side of her education and the way people kept taking her appearance as a sign of divine favour. Valerie believes strongly in forthrightness, loyalty and takes her oaths of service very very seriously, but she also has a vindictive streak and does not believe in second chances or redemption. She also has a very sore spot about gods, and Shellyn in particular. Jamandi Aldori, your patron for the expedition into the Stolen Lands and a potential patron for your barony, as well as her adopted son Kassil (who joins your barony if you side with his mother). Both are calm and competent rulers (or advisors, in Kassil's case) who believe in general welfare and know the The Chains of Commanding well enough to recognize that on occasion getting your hands dirty through war or politics is necessary to keep a kingdom stable or to reach your greater goals. Kesten Garess, the head of the player character's royal guard and your primary candidate for position as Warden, is a noble fighter turned mercenary. Kesten takes loyalty oaths and doing his job as Jamandi's right hand, and later as the kingdom's protector, very seriously, leading to him potentially killing himself in pursuit of his duties.

When ordered to obliterate the Straw Hats, he opted to spare them, with the exception of one, and later, when they were about to be defeated by Kizaru and Sentoumaru, he teleported them to different locations, not only saving their lives, but apparently giving Luffy an opportunity to save his brother Ace, and stop the impending war between the World Government and the Whitebeard Pirates. Admiral Kizaru is a pretty nice guy as long as you're not a criminal — but if you've broken a law (any law, from murdering hundreds to spitting on a nobleman), he will kill you. Fleet Admiral Sengoku probably falls here. He's willing to enforce the law even if it means killing children, but unlike most followers of Absolute Justice, he believes equally in the duty to protect the innocent and obey the law, and resigns rather than support a World Government coverup.

Angels are generally obliged to do good whenever possible, but are expected to never go against their higher-ups, even if the fate of the world is on the line. Aziraphale and Crowley, the novel's main angel and demon respectively, both start off as fairly typical examples of their species, but progress to Neutral Good (Aziraphale) and Chaotic Good (Crowley).

Lawful Neutral / int_a2c37f38	comment	Three very different sides of Lawful Neutral are present in Planescape: Torment: Fall-From-Grace is a puritan succubus who is the very essence of propriety, gentility, and hospitality, but she mainly keeps to herself and doesn't go out of her way to help people — they have to come to her. Vhailor, a merciless Knight Templar who is thought to be a bit of a fanatic even by his own faction, a group of criminal-hunters called Mercykillers (so named because they want to destroy the very concept of mercy, as it interferes with proper execution of the law), is the other. However, while he would occasionally jump the gun when he had evidence, he would never prosecute anyone without it, and has let people who have committed terrible acts live and even go free when he thinks they have suffered punishment enough. Dak'kon, a retired Warrior Monk and preacher for his species (the Githzerai) who has dedicated his life to his religion and its holy text, the Unbroken Circle of Zerthimon. He also owes The Nameless One a life-debt, binding him to your service for as long as you live — this also gives him a major moral quandary, as his religion prescribes that the Gith should never be in bondage to anyone. Finally, amongst NPCs, the Practical Incarnation is canonically Lawful Neutral. He had one goal in life — find out who he was — and systematically chased this goal with a great amount of foresight and discipline, viewing both his own life and those of others as tools to advance that goal. Notably, he just barely held on to this alignment despite the many dogs he kicked in his life, primarily because he was never motivated by cruelty for its own sake.

In their return during the Return to Ravnica block, they have degenerated solidly into Lawful Evil territory, as demonstrated in The Shadows of Prahv, where they even go so far as to attempt to exterminate the Golgari, the guild in charge of Ravnican agriculture. While there are still individual examples who count as Lawful Neutral, the vast majority of the guild have fallen far from this spot. To be fair, the Azorius were already bordering on Lawful Evil before (Augustin IV was the main antagonist of Dissenssion, after all. A guild that did degenerate into Lawful Evil are the Boros; their current leader, Aurelia, is a Knight Templar Manipulative Bitch at best. The Boros are a bit of a mixed bag in alignment terms themselves, which does keep the entire guild out of the territory, and while their leader Aurelia certainly counts in Lawful Evil territory, there is something to be said that Gideon Jura, one of the most moral planeswalkers in the story, has joined up with the guild. In other words, most of the members of the guild are still Lawful Neutral, with some good and bad eggs here and there.

Raised by the Torturer's Guild, the ideology he learned from them, and espouses himself, is that guilt or innocence of the accused isn't of great importance; the only important factor is to carry out the appropriate sentence, neither lessening nor exceeding the cruelty demanded.

Nova Terra as well. Being constantly mind-wiped to be loyal to the Dominion means that she will follow the Dominion law and whoever is in charge. If Arcturus Mengsk is in charge, she will be antagonistic, but if it's Valerian Mengsk who is in charge, she will be protagonistic. When she's allowed to be herself, Nova is more about trying to make sure that the people under Dominion are safe, her accosting Raynor for siding with Tosh is more about upholding the law because a prison break may have a chance to release actually dangerous criminals that wasn't opposing Mengsk. By the end of the Nova Covert Ops, however, Nova turned Neutral Good, disobeying Valerian's order and going rogue in order to serve Dominion from the shadows and doing dirty works that would've damaged his public image. Even Valerian approved that one at the moment.

Lawful Neutral / int_b4816c2e	comment	When you first meet Janos Audron in Soul Reaver 2, you might think he's Lawful Good or Neutral Good. Do not be fooled. His people were a bunch of knight templars who waged a thousand year war against another ancient and powerful race because said race wouldn't bow down to the vampire's god, and banished them to another dimension, raising the Pillars of Nosgoth to keep them sealed and tying the health of the pillars to the land itself. When their enemies afflicted the vampires with blood thirst and undeath as revenge, they passed the curse on to humans (note that they themselves considered the curse a Fate Worse than Death) in order to keep their enemies banished, kidnapping children and forcing vampirism on them when they came of age.

Lawful Neutral / int_b4967d43	comment	Sonic the Hedgehog: G.U.N. started out as this, as they were willing to do almost anything to preserve world order, including imprisoning or "silencing" everyone involved in a failed experiment, including children. After the events of Shadow the Hedgehog, though, they've started to drift towards Lawful Good. While Shadow the Hedgehog fights for good, it seems that he fights more against chaos and destruction, battling anybody who gets in his way. Eggman as a ruler would most certainly cause chaos, which is the main reason he fights him. In the Archie arc "25 Years Later", he became king of Mobius, mercilessly stamping out any rebellion in his desire to maintain order, not so much because he selfishly wanted power, but in the belief that order — his order — would bring peace. Sonic even comments that Shadow may have been strict, but he sure kept the warlords in line. In the Sonic Universe arc "Treasure Team Tango", Shadow (along with Rouge and Omega) fights Team Rose for a Sol Emerald on GUN orders, even though they belong to Blaze's world, and even though he owes Blaze a favour. He lets her have it when he learns her world will be destroyed without them.

Lawful Neutral / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Warhammer 40,000: The Tau Empire started somewhere closer to Lawful Good before heavy Retcons brought them down to this level. They don't usually count as Lawful Evil, though, since there's a fair bit of ambiguity about how much of their Utopia Justifies the Means behaviour is actually what happened and how much is exaggeration or fabrication by the Imperium. Regardless, they have a strictly regimented caste system, a guiding philosophy of acting for the Greater Good of all and unlike every other faction, lead with diplomacy to get what they want first, and resort to all-out war only when the Godzilla Threshold is crossed. Their combat doctrine is built around a mix of all-out force and patiently luring enemies into traps, ambushes and locations perfect for Aggressive Negotiations. Especially the nicest Tech-Priests, who essentially devote themselves to pure logic. (The less nice ones tend towards being Lawful Evil techno-kleptomaniacs.) The Craftworld Eldar, although to a lesser extent than other races. The majority of them are living extremely disciplined lives due to their extreme emotional range, leading to them largely being The Stoic as a species. In the past their empire was destroyed because the extremely hedonistic lifestyles of their ancestors caused their downfall and squicked the chaos god Slaanesh into existence. Not quite as lawful as most other "good" races in the setting, since many become pirates and mercenaries due to the extremely restrained lives they are forced to live on their Craftworlds, yet most of these are still loyal to their Craftworlds. In general, however, the Craftworld Eldar's politics can be considered Lawful Neutral, because at least they don't execute their own men regularly, and generally have an ordered lifestyle simply to prevent Slaanesh from eating their souls.

Lawful Neutral / int_c2297a9c	comment	Judge Dredd: As the titular character will regularly remind people, he is the law. Dredd's initial portrayal floated somewhere between Authority First and Foremost and Equality Under the Law, before settling firmly into the latter. One story has him temporarily stripped of his authority as a Judge, and he's shown strolling past all manner of horrible crimes without interfering in any of them, since vigilante justice is illegal. At another point, a quasi-revolution happens and the people want to elect a REAL leader, rather than just a "liaison between the people and the Judges": despite the vote eventually deciding to keep the Hall of Justice in power, Dredd and company openly state that, if they had been voted out of power, they would have stepped down despite having more than enough firepower and knowhow to keep control through force. The America/Democracy storylines did wonders for Dredd's self-awareness, and capacity for introspection. While the modern Dredd is still a very heavy supporter of the rules — after all, he is the law — he demonstrates that he has developed his own conscience, as well. Dredd is stated to be the sort of person who would arrest you for stealing from a convenience store, even if you were desperately broke. But after Dredd arrested you for that, he'd put your kids into a foster program so they don't end up destitute.

He is unwaveringly honest in his business dealings, openly stating everything he intends to do, being willing to be bargained down and always honoring his word even when it goes against his personal benefit. However, he also shows decidedly amoral tendencies in his business dealings, and tends to make use of long contracts and clauses in very fine print to get people to agree to his deals without necessarily realizing all the details of what they're agreeing to. He is never actually malicious, but he also does not seem to distinguish very well between the letter and the spirit of the law. Chancellor Neighsay is completely obsessed with ensuring that everything to do with education goes completely by his regulations. While he is a racist Jerkass on a personal level, he is not actively malevolent enough to make the leap into Lawful Evil.

In fact, Tyrael, the only angel in the games' lore who seems to be in any way good, is considered a rogue by his brethren. In the last book of a novel trilogy, we meet the rest of the Council that Tyrael is on when they gather to decide the fate of humanity for being the offspring of angels and demons. One is a fanatic Lawful Neutral who wants to wipe out the humans, another is very nice and on par with Tyrael, another seems neither particularly spiteful or sympathetic, but pragmatic and willing to give humanity the chance to prove themselves, and the last seems neutral.

Lawful Neutral / int_e694aadb	comment	In the novels about Ciaphas Cain (HERO OF THE IMPERIUM!): Gunner First Class Ferik Jurgen. He is extremely loyal and duty-bound to the Imperium, and doesn't care about much outside of just that. He's not dumb, he just puts his duty above all else. Even if said duty involves "Fetching Cain a Salamander and driving him away from there as fast as possible". He also happens to be a prime example of the fact that Lawful Neutral does not mean Lawful Tidy.

While usually reputable, their obsession with order at all costs can at times cause them to take actions that are on the other side of the good/evil morality spectrum, such as when Nabu, the Lord of Order who empowers Doctor Fate, rallied the other Lords to destroy all magic in the multiverse due to its chaotic nature (which, it's worth noting, is very similar to an event before this in which Aztar, the angel the Spectre, did the same thing for the same reasons).

Lawful Neutral / int_eb008a15	comment	The two protagonists of Super Robot Wars Advance are at first Lawful Neutral. However, they eventually shift into Lawful Good. In the Original Generations, however, the shift differs... Axel Almer starts out Lawful Neutral, being the follower of Shadow Mirror, mostly. Even though he has his heavy vendetta against Beowulf, he still obeys Vindel's orders more. In OG Gaiden, however, with his 'law' (the Shadow Mirror) destroyed, he shifts into True Neutral. His Original Generation 2 GBA self, however, is not Lawful Neutral, but Neutral Evil, from his rampant sadism and racism and his vendetta taking more priority than Vindel's order. Lamia Loveless mostly follows her original self, from Lawful Neutral shifting into Lawful Good. In OG Gaiden, however, she temporarily shifts into Lawful Evil after being reprogrammed by Duminuss. When that ordeal is over, she shifts back into Lawful Good.

Lawful Neutral / int_eb15a131	comment	In Drive Angry, both the Accountant and Satan are portrayed as such. The Accountant is a classic Inspector Javert who doesn't give a damn what Unfinished Business Milton has; all that matters is that he drags him back to Hell to face his penance for the sins he committed in life. Meanwhile, Satan is described as a bookish man who simply does his job of being the warden of the universe's biggest prison. That said, there are limits to how much shit they will tolerate; sacrificing children in Satan's name is a good way to piss him off, and the Accountant won't lift a finger to save you from your righteous punishment.

Being good at their job means impartiality on their part, so they can't exactly play favorite for the face or the heel. Thus, if either side has a legit case, they have to rule in that person's favor regardless of that person's own alignment. Examples include Teddy Long, Mick Foley as Commissioner, and the anonymous GM of Raw (who turned out to be Hornswoggle).

Once a Bakufu loyalist in The Shinsengumi, after the Meiji victory in the Meiji Revolution, he goes to work for the Meiji government as an agent and policeman so long as he can dispense his strict code of justice: Slay Evil Immediately. His alignment is best illustrated by one portion of the manga where Senkaku, an Elite Mook, is unconscious and a kid whose entire family was killed by Senkaku is going to kill him. Saitou coldly informs the kid that revenge killings are illegal, so if the kid does it, Saitou will arrest him too. Saitou then "reassures" the kid by telling him that Senkaku will probably be executed and tortured for information first, which would be much worse for him than dying painlessly. Major case of Good Is Not Nice, and that's without mentioning his Jerkass tendencies towards supporting characters.

Lawful Neutral / int_ef661e97	comment	Street Fighter: Rich Bitch Karin Kanzuki, as a foil to Chaotic Good Ascended Fangirl Sakura Kasugano. Karin's family motto is to "seek perfection at all costs", meaning that she'll take on any opponent regardless of where they fall on the good/evil scale (though she eschews from using flashy or "dishonorable" fighting techniques). She has very little patience for common folk, but will sometimes stop to lend a hand to a friend in need. Arguably, Gouki/Akuma could apply. Yes, he's a Blood Knight seeking the strongest fights he can find and he will fight to the death. However, he only fights to the death when he believes he has found a Worthy Opponent. All others he dramatically holds back to avoid killing (normal Akuma compared to Shin Akuma). Also, while he initially entered a death match against Gen, when Akuma realized Gen was ill, he stopped the fight. It took years of begging from Gen to finally get that death match, and even then it took appealing to Akuma's soul of a warrior to do it. Akuma has also stated he hates M. Bison's psycho power (which is fueled by hatred and dark emotions). Finally, he canonically saved a child's life who had wandered into Akuma's training area. The only real evil Akuma has done is try to push Ryu into giving into the Satsui no Hadou.

He is a sympathetic Punch-Clock Villain who worked for a meth dealer but who stuck rigidly to certain principles, such as never taking on too dark a job or not stealing money when it wasn't a part of his contract. His devotion to his granddaughter and daughter in law also suggests a man who is not of evil alignment, though his job working for a meth dealer doesn't make him good either.

Lawful Neutral / int_f5a661a6	comment	The sequel, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, also has canonically lawful neutral characters. The Aeon ascension path is lawful neutral by nature. A commander who seeks to become an aeon has to become lawful neutral, and furthermore are tested by an aeon that's revealed to be their future self to interpret both mortal and cosmic law in ways that are extremely literal and by-the-book, and also extremely unconcerned with the effects these interpretations have on mortals. A fully aeon commander will close the time loop of their existence by going back in time and deleting the Worldwound before it can even form, essentially retconning the last few centuries of history and annihilating their own existence in the process. Lann is a mongrelman, born from a mixed marriage of a mongrel and a half-elven smuggler who interacted with his tribe. He's a monk by training and believes strongly in self-discipline and the strength of unity and community, while at the same time being a huge cynic who has little to no interest in not helping anyone part of his in-group.

While usually an honest man, and a more sympathetic ear than anyone else on Uncle Sam's payroll, his acting in his agency's best interest makes him as much a sparring partner of regular heroes as the Hulk is. Of course, this is compared with Marvel's very iconoclastic collection of heroes — by government standards, he's a bit of a Cowboy Cop who occasionally goes renegade. (To be honest, you'll find just about anyone with a lawful alignment goes renegade sooner or later.)
