** ''Literature/TheFallOfNumenor'': The resentment of most of the population of Númenor against the immortality of the Elves and the Ban of the Valar preventing them from visiting the Blessed Realm causes them to gradually fall from friends and helpers of the Men of Middle-earth against the depredations of Sauron, to harsh rulers demanding tribute and resources, to finally slavers and warmongers worshipping darkness via human sacrifices. Those among the Númenoreans who still tried to follow the commands of the Valar and keep friendship with the Elves were outnumbered and essentially powerless to stop any of it, and near the end many of them were burning on the altars beside the slaves.

* Aramis, in the D'Artagnan Romances by Creator/AlexandreDumas. In ''Literature/TheThreeMusketeers'' he's unequivocally One Of The Good Guys, alongside Athos, Porthos and D'Artagnan -- although even then, when short of money, we see him accepting expensive gifts from his mistress(es). In ''Literature/TwentyYearsAfter'', all motives are less certain, Athos and Aramis find themselves (for different reasons) on the opposite side to Porthos and D'Artagnan, it is far less clear which side is In The Right, and it takes much more intricate politics to have them all on the same side again with their disparate interests in agreement: and, in the end, Aramis becomes the true, shadowy [[TheChessmaster villain]] of ''Literature/TheVicomteDeBragelonne'', as the person who wants King Louis replaced by his [[ManInTheIronMask secret twin brother]] Philippe, not in pursuit of justice but in pursuit of his personal ambition to be Pope (and those of the [[CorruptChurch Jesuits]], to establish further control over Europe's rulers): and, knowing that he could not suborn Athos or D'Artagnan to this scheme, he tricks Porthos into assisting it instead. And yes, here, Aramis is a true villain even when presented in a good light, and the Musketeers' accord is blown apart: because for all King Louis's inadequacies, he is the rightful king, [[spoiler:and in the book D'Artagnan recognises this and sides with Louis, conducting the ill-fated Philippe back to jail (though he later refuses to actually open fire on the fort containing his friends, D'Artagnan holds to their compact to stand together even though Aramis has broken it: as a result of which Aramis escapes [[LoadBearingHero at the cost of Porthos's life]].) It is Louis who remains on the throne and leads France to greatness]]. It's also amazing how many films of "The Man in the Iron Mask" reverse the ENTIRE point, and have Louis be unequivocally bad, and the Musketeers all on the same side and succeeding in pulling off the replacement... Though that may have been Dumas's point.
