I think you're talking about Bhishma, Drona, and Karna. The last one isn't deemed a good man though. Krishna always abused him. 😆
Bhishma knew Nara-Narayana and was a Krishna devotee who composed Vishnu Sahasranama on his bed of arrows. This serial made him anti-Krishna and I abhorred that thing. He was fulfilling his duty towards Duryodhana to be free from the debt of the father-son duo who had maintained him. Bhishma always requested Duryodhana to end the war but the latter never listened. He's the only warrior who got a proper funeral in Krishna's presence.
Drona was employed by Hastinapura when he was marred by poverty. He could never betray the kingdom. Loyalty towards HP is the reason he demanded Eklavya's thumb because the latter belonged to a tribe that was HP's enemy. Eklavya's act is actually a modern day intelligence theft.
