Posts like this confuse me.
On the one hand, DS9 isn't really known by people who don't watch Star Trek. The chance of someone randomly running their mouth about it is infinitely lower than something like TNG or TOS.
On the other hand I can't see how anyone who watched DS9 can call Garek noble. One of the best episodes in the series revolves around him orchestrating a plot to trick the Romulans into entering the war by assassinating a Romulan senator. Not only does he show 0 hesitation, but he correctly points out that Sisco went to him precisely because that's his bread and butter.
I think he qualifies as a magnificent bastard, but he's definitely not noble. He doesn't quite match what the poster is asking for.
Garak was ready to get himself killed for destroying the Founders and thus preventing the Dominion war. If Worf was 5 minutes late in fact, millions would be alive because of Garak giving his life (and everyone else's on the Defiant) to save them. That's pretty noble in my book.
