Sam Vimes from the Discworld series. He's a hardened cop in the fantasy city of Ankh-Morpork, and is possibly the best example of a cynical character who is Lawful Good.

Over the course of seven-odd books, along with various cameos in other peoples' stories, he works his way up from the bottom to being a highly respected and influential figure, able to prevent riots and wars, help liberate enslaved species, arresting dictators, etc. But even at his very worst, when he was barely able to function, he was a figure worth looking up at.

He also does some cool ****. Like navigating the city blindfolded, defeating werewolves in a fist fight while naked in a snowy forest, accidentally establishing a republic, and defeating an eldritch abomination through sheer moral code.
