I don't personally see niceness as a prerequisite for fairness.

But then, keeping in mind I'm not from a world where it's a job description, I also don't think a person with power is required to protect anyone. It's a privilege when someone with power uses it to help another. For me, personally, what defines heroism is not a compulsion to act, but assent when asked to act, when the answer could just as easily be 'no'.
