Ned was the most dishonorable character in the show - if only for his hypocrisy. He had honor when it didn't cost him anything. He was happy to lop of someone else's head or spill someone else's dirty secret. He wasn't willing to tell King Robert a hard truth or stick up for what he believed when his children's lives were on the line.
Rob was dishonorable for breaking his vow to Walder Frey. He got exactly what he deserved and I quite enjoyed it. That sly smile on Roose's face when the Catelyn noticed his chain mail was priceless. You can say Walder Frey was dishonorable for how he killed Rob and his arrogant **** of a mother, but it was no less cowardly than Rob refusing to fight Jamie Lannister in single combat. Each knew they wouldn't win playing the game that way, and each chose another path instead of losing.
Oberyn was dishonorable for poisoning his weapon. Though it's fitting that he used a woman's weapon since he seemed to enjoy playing the role of a woman. He certainly got what he deserved. His rat-faced wife's scream when his head exploded was one of my favorite moments on the show. (Toss up with the Red Wedding)
Jon Snow was dishonorable for shooting Mance. Mance was not his prisoner and that was not his right. I wouldn't mind seeing Jon get the Theon treatment if for no other reason than I can't take his character seriously. Not sure how such a well cast show could blow it that bad on a major character. I don't think we'll get that storybook Reek II ending for Jon, but I'm not sure I can keep watching if he lives much longer.
if those are your criteria name ONE honorable character? especially male.
maybe Barristan Selmy (dead)
maybe Maester Emon (dead)
maybe Doran but something tells me he is up to something longterm - and in the books he was trying to overthrow Robert and destroy the Lannisters
maybe Davos Seaworth - but he is convicted smuggler
Brienne is probably the most honorable character period.
Tyrion - killed his dad for revenge only, he could have escaped
LF - dirty as hell, threw lyanna out the moon door because she was annoying and in his way
Varys -same, arranged murder of Joffrey
Stannis - killed his daughter for the hope of advancing an army through snow
Robert - no
Viserys - no
Jamie - no
Theon - no
Tywin - no, what he did to Tyrion and his young love
Ramsay - NO
Roose - no
long list.....NO NO NO
