Usually when discussing integrity and a code of honor, most people believe that only the "good guys" live by a code of honor. A good hard look at most people will reveal that nearly all of them live by a code of honor. In Storm Front, Jim Butcher introduces Harry Dresden, a wizard. Harry lives under the Doom of Damocles because he killed his mentor, however it was in self-defense. Since that time Harry has struggled to prove to the White Council that all he is doing is trying to make a living by following the Laws of Magic while using his talents. His experience with the paranormal homicides makes it very difficult to always do the right thing in the eyes of everyone, but he follows his own Code of Honor, even when it means that he may lose the friendship of one of his very few friends. Similarly, Monica follows her own code of honor. She is willing to put up with Victor's perversions until it comes to her own children and the death of her sister.
