If it wasn't for the fact that the Brass Blades are an extremely unsympathetic sort in the story I'd be down for the group being Lawful Neutral. The FIRST thing you see them do is straight up set up someone for a bribe. That does not seem like anything someone lawful neutral would do.
Re: Brass Blades...strictly IMO, but less that they are inherently corrupt but more that not enough is done against corruption. There are Brass Blades who shout 'For Ul'dah!' like true patriots when defending Highbridge...from that, it means you can easily be a non-corrupt Brass Blade I reckon...
Also, there seem to be different Brass Blade units that have a sort of knightly name to them. Brass Blades of the Rose, then Brass Blades of the ...Remora? Or something, during the 2.3 Hildibrand questline.
