Better yet, a specific GURPS example: in GURPS
Lensman, all the Lensmen have the Fanatic: Civilization Disad. This is actually an excellent way to represent the 'incorruptible' trait of the Lensman characters, they are incorruptible in precisely the same sense that any other true fanatic is 'incorruptible', i.e. you can't sway him from what he considers his duty.
