How honorable? Honor Before Reason? Check Knight in Shining Tropes, what you want might be on that list.
Edit to add: Hero with Bad Publicity seems a good fit
Edited by Daefaroth This signature says something else when you aren't looking at it.
Do we have trope for this adventure genre hero who is honorable to a fault, which led to him being cast out from "honorable" society (often on false charges), so he is often presumed to be callous and mean by people who don't know him but inspires Undying Loyalty in the few who do? I was reading The Cinder Spires and realized that Captain Grimm must have had a ton of prototypes in romantic literature.
Before you ask, Knight in Sour Armor is a part of but not the whole package.
