Definitely these, although the lies the character told were usually lies of omission. CJ engaged in this in Season 4 as she didn't tell the Colonists that she hadn't come there to save them and she covered up Burt and Riley's desertion by retroactively granting permission. The former was self-serving but also for the good of the group, the second was definitely for the good of the group. She also lied about what she already knew concerning Ground Zero before sending Vic and Saul there. But, at this point they weren't exactly allies. Victor did a lot of lies of omission too, in initially not telling CJ that he knew who Sean was when his name was mentioned after CJ explained what she knew about Kalani and Ink (this after Saul demanded that everyone stop hiding things from each other) and then in not telling her that the Mallers had no connection to Sean's death. Both of these lies seemed self-serving. Then he withheld information about Angel's death by Scratch in order to spare people their feelings. Burt did not tell Riley about Lizzy's death when he learned about it, again to spare her feelings. Early on, Michael withheld information from the rest of the Tower that they were running out of water. Like CJ's lies this was done for the good of the group. Since the water plant incident he really hid from everyone the story about Randy due to his shame. Tanya lied about the tests she was running on hers and Saul's blood for self-serving reasons because she couldn't trust what the rest of the group would do if they knew she and Saul had the same Keratin levels as the infected. Let's see, Angel lied about taking Latch's body to give to Scratch, I guess for self-serving reasons and to ease Peg's mind. Kalani, obviously, lied all over the place to protect his daughter. I think that's about it. Saul (the lie about Sean was Vic's, Saul just was an accomplice in the lie), Datu, Lizzy, Pegs, Riley, Kelly, Glenn, Pete, and the Ft. Irwin Soldiers - all seem pretty straightforward and honest.
