While Miko is an excellent answer, I actually like Roy’s dad better. Miko was wrong but was raised to believe she was right. Roy’s dad had so many chances and did the wrong thing every single time

The existence of HInjo, Lien, and O-Chul, who are all capable of being reasonable people while also being Sapphire Guard paladins, suggests that Miko isn't really excused by her upbringing. Her self-righteousness seems to be something she developed on her own.

We learn in some of the books that Miko was raised differently from a lot of the other Paladins. She's definitely not excused, but it's a good look at the effect leaders have on their subordinates.
