Both character and competence are of utmost importance in our profession.
But depending on the situation/scenario, one may outweigh the other for importance.
Regardless, the reputation that you build must be such that neither ever comes into question. This is part of what makes a Project Manager effective and successful.

...
Credible to me is: Do people believe you're the right person doing the right work? Are you trusted? Have you delivered positive business outcomes in the past? Do you have a reasonably healthy track record of success? Do your peers, stakeholders, Steerco, and leaders believe in you?
