Although lying is a trait more associated with villains, some heroes have a habit of lying as well, or it may even be a main way they overcome other wrongs. Some lie in order to try to escape from a dangerous situation or for misleading a villain; lying can be just as good as it is bad. Or in other words, whitely abusing it. Other times the lie itself may be the set-up for honesty always being the best policy if the narrative is intended as a fable.

Heroic Liars can only be Pure Good if they lie when it is necessary, do it for the good and/or with remorse.
