When the character leading by example rebels and does a Face–Heel Turn (or Heel–Face Turn) and others continue to follow his example and turn to the "dark side" (or the good side) along with him or her. The Paragon isn't just a good guy, he's the good guy. Everyone looks up to him. He's at the forefront of every battle, gives the Rousing Speeches, and has probably personally trained most of the heroes. What happen when a character switches sides? So does everyone else. However, this trope goes in two different directions: On one hand on the heroes’ side, it is about when the brightest beacon of hope and good decides despair and evil are better options and manages to worm his way into the hearts of the men and women who look up to him, turning them to the dark side as well. This is the distinction from Fallen Hero: He's not just falling, he's making sure to take everyone else with him. On the other hand on the villains’ side, the trope is about when the powerful warrior of evil decides enlightenment and good are better options and manages to convince everybody who look up to him, turning them to the light side as well. This is the distinction from Hope Bringer: He's not just redeeming, he's making sure to take everyone else with him. Compare The Atoner, Ascended Demon, Fallen Angel, Fallen Hero, Broken Pedestal. See also The Paragon. Can also be a case of Big Bad Slippage. Expect him to be the Hero's Evil Predecessor (or Redeeming Replacement). |

Richard Dragon, Kung-Fu Fighter: Ben is the most heroic of the main trio but becomes consumed with his need to avenge Jane in the final issues, which leads to his disappearance and assumed death. Richard falls into a depression and stops shaving or teaching lessons, Lady Shiva disappears and is implied to have had a hand in or at least knowledge of his disappearance. This is the point at which the series was cut short, and the next time Ben sees Richard following the series he's dragging him out of an underground fighting ring where Rich has been fighting people to their deaths each night and Shiva has become a proper irredeemable villain instead of staying the grey area she skirted for this series. | |

The Silmarillion: Melkor was the greatest of the Valar, and when he fell, he dragged a number of the Maiar with him. Fëanor, the most gifted and talented of all Elves, rebelled after the theft of the Silmarils, and drew the Noldor — the High Elves — with him from the Undying Lands to Beleriand, Middle-Earth, to wage war against Morgoth. |

The Talmud: Elisha Ben Avuya, one of the wisest rabbis of his age, perhaps second only to Rabbi Akiva, he was the teacher of Rabbi Meir and - according to some legends - spiritually enlightened enough to enter Heaven while still alive. He then becomes a heretic and immerses himself in Greek philosophy, after which he is known only as The Other. Despite explicitly declaring I've Come Too Far, and being told this by God, he arguably achieves Death Equals Redemption thanks to his student Meir. An Alternative Character Interpretation views him as a rare non-consequentialist example of Necessarily Evil: his heresy is driven by an ultimately holy search for truth, but that doesn't make it less heretical. It does explain the Death Equals Redemption, though. | |

Orochimaru in Naruto, while lacking anything regarding morality, he certainly was considered one of the brightest minds of his generation. He pulled a Face–Heel Turn prior to the start of the story. Later on, Sasuke does the same thing. The anime delves a little more into Orochimaru's backstory, wherein he starts as an orphan, developing into an obsession with rebirth and a desire to overcome death. It even adds a small moment where old Orochi is there when Tsunade learns about her little brother's death. Itachi could be considered an inversion - in this case, The Paragon was the only one to not rebel. He did, however, betray his own clan, the Uchiha, by being loyal to the Konoha government. As such, this is also an example of playing it straight, since the Uchiha considered him to be their best. No wonder he seemed like such a troubled guy in the flashbacks. And no wonder Sasuke doesn't get what he's trying to teach him... Nagato was seen as a Messianic Archetype, but personal tragedy transformed him into a Dark Messiah. The Hidden Rain village and Konan followed him. |

In First Knight, Malagant was one of the greatest of the Knights of the Round Table, but he grew dissatisfied when he found they didn't share his beliefs that the strong can do whatever they feel like and terrorize anyone weaker than them. He gathered followers and rebelled against King Arthur's rule. | |

The Gates of Hell and other material by Dicefreaks feature at least three examples. Apollyon, who either fell with the main group of Fallen Angels or long before, was displeased at the Heaven's half measures, and so came to view all of creation as flawed and unworthy of existence; Eblis, the strongest of angels, became too proud and now seeks the destruction of Heaven, and Beelzebub, who was always viewed as the most perfect of angels, came to believe he needs to correct all else to match his own perfection. | |

Gaston from Beauty and the Beast. Lefou even calls him a "pure paragon" during his musical number. Yet despite this, he is brash, narcissistic, and cruel, and when he seeks to slay the Beast out of envy for Belle falling in love with him, he easily sways the townsfolk to join his cause (though he does use the thin guise of the Beast's repulsive appearance to convince them that he's a threat). | |

Paradise Lost helped codify the tradition that Satan was God's greatest angel, but rebelled against God's authority. Milton uses common tropes of classical epics to portray Satan in the same style as an epic hero. | |

Demon: The Fallen: Lucifer was canonically the most powerful and wise of the Elohim, second only to God Herself. However, in this case, his "Face–Heel Turn" was not caused by suddenly growing evil but by him shifting priorities from loving God to loving humans, just as God ordered him in the first place. Of course, this being the World of Darkness, things get worse and Lucifer remains a Hero with Bad Publicity. | |

Natsu Dragneel was once a shining example of the values Fairy Tail held dear to itself, inspired many members of said guild and others across Fiore, and saved Earthland countless times, most notably when he defeated both the Black Wizard Zeref and the Dragon King Acnologia. However, during the 100 Years Quest he was attacked and nearly fatally affected by Bane Particles from the White Mage, with Lucy only able to seal him and Happy inside a Fairy Sphere. Countless centuries later with Earthland having become Remnant, Salem found their sphere and, realizing they were in danger of dying due to the exposure, demonized both of them using Hell's Core to save their lives. In the process, however, his Superpowered Evil Side E.N.D. has risen to take control of his body. Now he is the Ophiuchus, the most powerful and trusted member of her inner circle who has worked with her to spread her will across Remnant and conquer it through either force of arms or making others question the way the world currently works. | |

Count Dooku was Yoda's finest student and one of the greatest Jedi before his fall. As a Sith, he manipulated thousands of star systems into breaking off from the Galactic Republic, sparking the Separatist Crisis and the Clone Wars, which in turn sped the rise of the Galactic Empire. The trope is explored in the Clone Wars series, where we have sympathetic senators like Mina Bonteri who joined the Separatists for honest reasons. | |

Green Lantern: Sinestro, the best and brightest Green Lantern who turned to evil. Where do you think the other yellow lanterns came from or why they invoke his name in their oath? Depending on the Writer he may be a Well-Intentioned Extremist, with mixed results. Hal Jordan fell from grace during the 90s when the Guardians refused to give him enough power to restore his home town (which had just been destroyed). Jordan did not take this well and went on a killing spree of his fellow Lanterns to amass enough power to do so, becoming the villain known as Parallax. Later it was revealed that Parallax was another entity which was covertly manipulating Hal. |

Fëanor, the most gifted and talented of all Elves, rebelled after the theft of the Silmarils, and drew the Noldor — the High Elves — with him from the Undying Lands to Beleriand, Middle-Earth, to wage war against Morgoth. The Fall of Númenor: Ar-Pharazôn, the last king of Númenor, had it all: good looks, fighting prowess, charisma, wealth, power, fame...as well as a massive ego, overwhelming ambition and an overblown sense of self-entitlement which led him to declare war on Eru and the Valar because because why should the greatest of all kings die like a mere Man? In The Lord of the Rings, Saruman was the leader of the wizards and widely considered the greatest among them, but was also the only known member of that order to become corrupted. He attempts to take Gandalf with him, but Gandalf sees through him; he still manages to turn his home of Isengard into a major stronghold of evil. |

In Exalted, in a rare moment this was actually a good thing from the perspectives of most mortals. The Unconquered Sun was created by the evil Ebon Dragon to be The Paragon of virtue, since the Ebon Dragon can only exist in contrast to someone else. Since he's the Anthropomorphic Personification of dickery, he needed someone utterly pure and good to exist to define himself against. Somehow, he didn't foresee the god he created to personify (among other things) valor and conviction deciding that he couldn't allow Creation to be ruled by the Ebon Dragon and his fellow Primordials. Since most of those Primordials at best considered mortals useful power sources and at worst free will a mistake to be rectified, its easy to see how the Unconquered Sun convinced most of humanity to join the rebellion. | |

From The Life and Times of Juniper Lee, there was Kai Yee. Kai Yee was said to be the greatest Te Xuan Ze who ever lived and was renowned for his unparalleled skill and sense of duty towards maintaining the balance of magic. As a result of a seemingly endless life of battle, he decided to attempt to become a Magical Elder to control magic itself in order to better combat its forces. For his insubordination, he was sealed away in stone until he was later released and sealed away again by one of his successors, Juniper Lee. | |

Jack Pfefer in Illinois. A traveling promoter who helped launch the career of Buddy Rogers, who in turn brought an unprecedented amount of success to the Chicago territory when he was voted into an NWA World Heavyweight Championship match against Pat O'Connor in 1961. Not long after Pfefer was brought in and proceeded to run the territory in the ground by pushing poor man's versions of famous wrestlers, including what may have been a parody of one of the stars who helped the territory boom, "Bummy Rogers". | |

AJ Styles was known for his loyalty to TNA, having been one of the few constants in the ever-changing company. However, even he believed to be the ultimate company man could only take so much, as he had always said he worked for who was best for his family (read:who pays the most) and a pay cut in December of 2013 was the last straw, causing AJ Styles to depart, with no less than company founder Jeff Jarrett following him out the door, along with Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian, Samoa Joe, Bobby Roode, James Storm and Eric Young left, leaving Abyss as the only TNA original, although James Storm came back, because it turned out TNA was best for his family. | |

In The Lord of the Rings, Saruman was the leader of the wizards and widely considered the greatest among them, but was also the only known member of that order to become corrupted. He attempts to take Gandalf with him, but Gandalf sees through him; he still manages to turn his home of Isengard into a major stronghold of evil. | |

Fairies of the Shattered Moon: Both of Salem's Co-Dragons are revealed to be this, though it gets murkier due to the Grey-and-Gray Morality of the fic considering the uptake in Salem's moral character compared to canon. Natsu Dragneel was once a shining example of the values Fairy Tail held dear to itself, inspired many members of said guild and others across Fiore, and saved Earthland countless times, most notably when he defeated both the Black Wizard Zeref and the Dragon King Acnologia. However, during the 100 Years Quest he was attacked and nearly fatally affected by Bane Particles from the White Mage, with Lucy only able to seal him and Happy inside a Fairy Sphere. Countless centuries later with Earthland having become Remnant, Salem found their sphere and, realizing they were in danger of dying due to the exposure, demonized both of them using Hell's Core to save their lives. In the process, however, his Superpowered Evil Side E.N.D. has risen to take control of his body. Now he is the Ophiuchus, the most powerful and trusted member of her inner circle who has worked with her to spread her will across Remnant and conquer it through either force of arms or making others question the way the world currently works. Summer Rose was once the pinnacle of what it meant to be a Huntress, being the inspiration for Ruby's desire to be one, Team STRQ's emotional anchor that made Qrow decide to throw away the life of banditry to become a true Huntsman, and the one Ozpin believed would be The Chosen One to defeat Salem. When she learned Salem had Complete Immortality, she went on a one-woman mission through the Grimmlands to reach her with the intent of sealing her in stone with her Silver Eyes and having Raven teleport them back to Ozpin to end the war. However, Salem broke free and fatally injured Summer before reviving her as an Eclipse Etherious, and upon being told the Awful Truth of Earthland/Remnant and learning (and seeing firsthand) You Can't Go Home Again because letting Ruby and Yang know she was alive at this point before they time-traveled back in time to meet Sitara/Salem would cause a Reality-Breaking Paradox, she then joined Salem's cause believing it to be the only path forward for Remnant. Now she stands as Salem's "Black Queen" and major strategist in her war with Ozpin, working tirelessly to bring the rest of the world in line up to and including becoming the virtually-unopposed monarch-in-all-but-name of Atlas and Mantle with the intent of converting them all to Salem's side. |

This is pointed out as one of the big differences between RainbowDoubleDash's Lunaverse and Canon Friendship Is Magic. Celestia's transformation into the Tyrant Sun didn't drag all of Equestria into madness with her, but what it did do was hammer into the ponies' minds that anyone could turn evil. In canon, Luna was already kind of spooky, so her fall into evil isn't too surprising. But if you can't trust Celestia, the very personification of the life-giving Sun, then you can't completely trust anyone. | |

Henry "Hotspur" in Henry IV part 1. Probably the greatest fighter in England, Hotspur and his father were on Henry IV's side in Richard II, but become disillusioned sometime between the events of the two plays and rebel against the king. Notably, King Henry thought of Hotspur as the son he should have had (his own son, Hal, is a listless drunkard — although this turns out to be a massive case of Obfuscating Stupidity). | |

Kyodai Ken in Batman: The Animated Series. The star student of the martial arts school he and Bruce both attended, he decided that stealing the master's katana and wakizashi to sell them for the cash was a good idea. Bruce —not quite as skilled as Ken was— interrupted him long enough for the master to intervene. When Ken subsequently left/was expelled, several of the students went with him. | |

The plot of Tiger Mask centers around the illegal Tiger Cave that specializes in training wrestlers who are brutal even by heel standards, with the titular Tiger Mask being called as such for being their most promising student ever. And when he pulls a Heel–Face Turn, the Tiger Cave executives try to have him killed but ultimately can't stop many of the later Tiger Cave trainees from becoming baby faces too. | |

Star Trek: The Original Series: In "Whom Gods Destroy", Starfleet's fleet commander, Captain Garth, was badly maimed in an unspecific "accident" and restored to health by the aliens of Antos Four who taught him how to alter the cells in his body, which also gave him the power to shapeshift. After they then rejected his offer to aid them in conquering the galaxy, he tried to destroy the planet in a rampage (his crew refused to obey), restyling himself as "Lord Garth of Izar". | |

A Song of Ice and Fire: Mance Rayder was known as one of the greatest of the Night's Watch. He eventually grew dissatisfied with the restrictions imposed on the Black Brothers and deserted, becoming the King Beyond The Wall, the ruler of the Free Folk, who are the Night's Watch's main enemies. The Free Folk are made of many, many bickering tribes, but they chose Mance as their leader because he was able to unite them under a single cause. Daemon Blackfyre, bastard son of Aegon the Unworthy and the causer of the so-called Blackfyre rebellion that tore Westeros in half. He was able to effectively contest for his trueborn brother Daeron's throne because he was seen as the greatest knight of his generation and given the Valyrian Steel sword Blackfyre by his father, whereas Daeron was a scholar with no warrior training. |

Victoria: Captain John Rumford rebels against the corrupt system in the future United States. When we first meet him, he is clearly being groomed for greater things in the USMC, and as we later see, his intellectual, organizing and leadership abilities are in fact prodigious. However, his country boy values lead him to protest against feminism in the Corps, getting him cashiered. Then, after some floundering about, he begins his second career as a revolutionary. | |

In the Deathstalker series, Finn Durandal is a literal Paragon, an elite peacekeeper granted authority by the King himself. Among the Paragons he is viewed as the best of the best and everyone expects he will be named King's Champion when his close friend Douglas ascends the throne. However, Douglas once saw something ugly and cruel lurking lurking behind Finn's eyes one time and decides to choose his other friend, Lewis, instead. In response to not getting this one ceremonial role, Finn proceeds to usurp the throne, tear about the Empire's golden age, and commit numerous atrocities both personally and by proxy. | |

Subverted, however, when it turns out that "Commander John Harrison" is an alias; his real identity is Khan Noonien Singh, who was shanghaied by Section 31, and is most definitely not a good guy. | |

Warhammer 40,000: Horus was the Warmaster of the Imperium and out of all the Primarchs, he was probably the one with the closest relation to the Emperor. He's also the person after which the Horus Heresy, the cataclysmic civil war that reduced the Imperium to an awful state, was named. Technically he wasn't the first Primarch to turn to Chaos (Lorgar turned before him, and orchestrated the corruption of Horus), but he was the one that caused half of the others to turn to his side and start the war. In a twist, Horus himself always considered Sanguinius to be the Paragon (and he was right). His fall was partly motivated by the feeling that he wasn't fit for the title of Warmaster with someone like that around. Commander Farsight was one of the T'au Empire's greatest warriors, a brilliant Battle Suit pilot and strategist that helped spearhead many of the Empire's earliest conquests. Then a routine mission led to him discovering the Dark Secret the ruling Etherals had been hiding from the rest of the T'au: the existence of the Warp and all the nasties therein, since the T'au do not have a Warp presence (and thus can't use psychic powers) and official propaganda was that daemons were just particularly unfriendly aliens that allied themselves with humans. Farsight was outraged that the Ethereals would cover up such a massive threat and went rogue, setting up his own Renegade Splinter Faction to defend the Empire his way. Not that any of his former colleagues know this: for all they know, Farsight was their best warrior who suddenly snapped and is now a wanted traitor living on the outskirts of the Empire, disobeying the Ethereals for no real reason. |

In Warhammer Fantasy, the High Elven prince Malekith. Early in his life he was a paragon of virtue, an experienced and talented warrior and general, a philosopher, and a diplomat. He had the rare distinction (so rare that it made him almost unique) of being close friends with the Dwarfs, and was admired by pretty much everybody. Then, thanks in some part to an extremely ambitious and manipulative mother, he attempted to claim the Phoenix Crown and become king of the High Elves, but was deemed unworthy by the Elven gods actually making that call, was horrifically burned in the process, and started a massive civil war over it. His followers became the Dark Elves. Aaaaand later it turned out that Malekith was the rightful king all along (that little hiccup indicating he was unworthy was a fluke; if he had powered through the initial shock, everything would have been fine). When this becomes common knowledge, it's also revealed that Malekith was (sort of) keeping the High Elven faith even while leading the Dark Elves, and he manages to unite most of the Eldar (High, Dark, and Wood Elves) into a single force, and becomes their Eternity King. Meanwhile, an entirely separate and distinct paragon of the Eldar, Tyrion, the Defender of Ulthuan, who has spent his whole life fighting Malekith, rebels against the new Malekith-centric consensus. Enraged, he takes up the Widomaker, and becomes the Avatar of Khaine, uniting the hard-line militarists and Khainists among the High and Dark Elves, respectively, into the not-at-all-egotistically named Aestyrion, reigniting the civil war. |

In Codename: Kids Next Door, Numbuh 274 was The Ace of the organization. Then he frames our heroes (because Growing Up Sucks for the KND, and he's trying to hide the news of his thirteenth birthday) and very quickly becomes a recurring villain once the Revealing Cover-Up blows up in his face. Until it's revealed near the end that he was The Mole. However, he still plays this trope straight to an extent in that he genuinely hated Numbuh 1 because he was the better fighter. Deconstructed with Maurice, AKA Numbuh 9, who can be seen in a similar vein to Numbuh 274. He was decommissioned when he turned 13 and Numbuh 5 along with the rest of Sector V watched him to make sure he wouldn't side with the Teenagers against the KND. Unfortunately, this ends up happening thanks to Cree, much to Numbuh 5's horror. It turns out that he was assigned the role as The Mole for the KND as well to spy on the Teenagers' antics. |

Secret Empire: Captain America again. In a tie-in comic, he manages to lift Mjolnir off the ground despite this being Hydra!Cap. This is the driving force behind why so many of the heroes ally with him against their better judgment, since you can't be worthy if you're not good (even though that's not what worthiness actually means in The Mighty Thor books, being more about bravery than anything else). Why no one assumes Cap simply has Villainous Valour is unknown. It's revealed that this is not the actual Cap, but a version from an altered timeline where he'd always been a Hydra agent, and him lifting Mjolnir is only possible because the parties responsible for that also changed the nature of the enchantment, but he's still presented as a real Captain America and nobody knows about the change to Mjolnir until it's restored to normal, so this trope ends up subverted and played straight at the same time. | |

In the Nentir Vale setting for Dungeons & Dragons, Asmodeus was the greatest angel leading the strongest army in the war between the gods and the primordials. However, after a while he stopped caring about the innocents that got between him and the enemy, and after arguing with his boss about it, was cast down. He then took a rod crafted of pure evil and struck down his master with it, but in doing so was imprisoned within his master's domain for all time, transforming it into the Nine Hells. | |

The Revenge of the Sith novelization revealed that Dooku had planned to invoke this with Anakin; his idea was that he and Sidious would turn Anakin to the Dark Side together, doing away with the Rule of Two, and Anakin would use his legacy and influence to rally as many Jedi as possible to Palpatine's side, converting the Jedi Order into a Sith order they'd call the Fist of the Empire. But as we all know, Sidious had other plans. | |

Sunshine: Pinbacker was The Ace chosen to lead the original mission to restart the sun on the Icarus, effectively being entrusted with the very future of humanity. And then he succumbed to the Space Madness, deluded himself into believing it was God's will for the sun to go out and humans have no right to fight that, and murdered his crew and disabled his ship. When the Icarus II comes along to fulfill that mission, Pinbacker decides to stop them as well. | |

Sailor Galaxia in Sailor Moon, though in the anime it's explained because she simultaneously extracted her own star seed and absorbed elemental chaos. She just got corrupted in the manga. And she cast it out to protect it from Chaos. | |
