Let's say Bob is fighting a long-hated group of the side he was raised by. No tales of being affiliated with them at all in his youth or information of his origins. Now consider that Bob has just found out he is one of group he has fought against for so long. Bob decides to defect and join the side he has been fighting against. That is essentially this trope. This is a circumstance where a character decides to make a Heel–Face Turn or Face–Heel Turn to a side that they once denigrated, oppressed, or fought against because of the revelation that the character is actually a member of the side by birth or by heritage. This kind of situation can be seen in stories as a result of the factor of there being a Heel–Face Turn, but keep in mind that the side an example portrays is not always malevolent or benevolent. This trope tends to happen to characters who were Raised by Natives or Raised by Orcs, more often than not the consequence of a Child of Two Worlds. Examples |

In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012), Oroku Saki later known as the Shredder proved to be an example. He was born from the Foot Clan but discovered by the father of Hamato Yoshi alone as a baby after a particularly devastating assault by the Hamato Clan on a Foot Clan village, before being raised alongside Yoshi, completely unaware of his heritage. However, after having a falling out with Yoshi after fighting and losing for the love of their mutual love interest, Oroku fled and eventually learned of his true heritage, choosing to rebuild the Foot Clan and donned the moniker 'Shredder' to take revenge against Yoshi and the Hamato Clan. | |

In the Dirty Pair light novels, the galaxy-wide criminal conspiracy "Lucifer" had one particular method to make sure that all of its members were fanatically loyal: they were ALL related by blood. A few of the times that it appeared in the novels, all they had to do was drop the "Luke, I Am Your Father" card on the Victim of the Week to make them despair about whether or not to join (and some did). | |

In I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream, Nimdok's story involves him facing the fact that he was a Nazi scientist and Josef Mengele's partner as part of an experiment to create a Youth Serum created via the deaths of countless Jewish children after the Nazi Party fell. Horrified, Nimdok tries to atone by stopping the experiment and freeing the Jewish prisoners, but later finds out he was actually a Jewish scientist who betrayed his parents to the camps during World War 2 and worked for Dr. Mengele. In the end, Nimdok decides to repent and side with the escaped Jewish prisoners who decide to kill him for all the prisoners he had experimented on. | |

In Night World, Jez Redfern starts out as a vampire who looks down on humans as vermin and even hunts human criminals for sport, only to eventually find out she's actually a dhampir. She was never told this because her parents' marriage is against Night World law; they were killed because of this and Jez herself would've been killed too if her uncle hadn't let her believe she was a full vampire. Jez is utterly horrified and chooses to give up drinking blood and to live among humans, also becoming a vampire hunter to protect humans from dangerous Night People. | |

In Resident Evil 6, an averted case is present for Jake Muller, a mercenary that entered into the business to financially support his mother since his father abandoned them when Jake was a child. During the game, there's the revelation that "Muller" is the last name of his mother and his father was none other than the deceased Big Bad of the series: Albert Wesker, explaining his general immunity to the Umbrella viruses and possession of the good properties of them like Wesker. After uncovering his paternity, Jake still keeps going as an ally to Leon Kennedy and Chris Redfield during the game and decries his relations to his father. | |

In Fire Emblem Fates, it is revealed early in the story that the Player Character, who grew up in Nohr, was actually kidnapped from Hoshido as a small child. A war breaks out between Hoshido and Nohr soon after. The Birthright route has the Player Character side with their native Hoshidan family, whose members they haven't known for very long at that point. The Conquest route has them side with Nohr instead, subverting this trope. | |

In Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures, Daniel Ti'Fiona lived his early life as an adventurer: going on quests, chasing skirts, and fighting monsters such as cubi along the way. He later discovers his mother was a succubus named Destania, which means Dan is a cubi of clan Cyra. He didn't take this news well at first, but it grew on him while he attended the Succubus And Incubus Academy until he grew to accept this part of himself and the cubi. | |

An inverted case for Loki in the film Thor. Loki finds out he is of Jotunn — Frost Giant — lineage and confronts his adoptive father Odin who reveals he adopted an abandoned baby Loki after his forces killed many of the Frost Giants. Angered at being the unfavorite and by the revelation that Odin took Loki in an attempt to use him to bring about an alliance and permanent peace between the Asgardian and Jotunn kingdoms, Loki kills Laufey and attempts to annihilate all the Frost Giants, decrying them as a race of monsters, to make himself look like he saved his father's life and thus prove himself worthy of being the King of Asgard | |
