* Sargeras in fought demons for millennia, but e[[HeroicBSOD fell into thinking that it was no use and chaos was actually the only real solution to everything]]. Just to signify what this meant, [[EvilMakeover his bronze skin split apart, revealing a new body of fire and brimstone]].
* Archimonde and Kil'jaeden, the leaders of the eredar who sold their souls to Sargeras and became the leaders of the Burning Legion.
* Similarly, the human prince and paladin Arthas eventually resorted to the cursed blade Frostmourne to slay the demon that was (apparently) behind the plague that turned people into the undead. As a result, it took his soul and turned him into a death knight loyal to the Lich King (who [[MagnificentBastard had all that planned from the start]]).
* Then there's the death knights that followed him, which constitute Orders of Fallen Heroes. A force of them in ''Wrath of the Lich King'' are sent to wreak havoc in Northern Lordaeron... All of which seems to be little more than a [[spoiler:ploy to lure out Tirion Fordring, one the few living beings that could even be considered anything close to a threat to the Lich King. They were just a diversion and, eventually, as a result of a climactic battle in which Tirion reveals the truth of their betrayal and ultimate expendability]], pull a HeelFaceTurn. The player plays through this entire sequence, including all the irredeemable evil goodness inherent therein.
* Sylvanas Windrunner was originally a good hearted, [[LovableAlphaBitch if rather vain]] defender of her homeland, not that unlike Arthas orginally was, she ended up being killed and turned undead when he invaded her homeland, and while turning undead didn't make her evil immediately like with him, by this point she is little better than the Lich King himself.
* And the night elf Illidan, trying to fight fire with fire (or demons with demon magic), eventually became a semi-demon himself.
* ''The Frozen Throne'' shows how the arrogant-but-decent high elves turned into the evil, demon-following blood elves they are in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft''.
** In a desperate attempt to save his people, Kael'thas turned to demons, and let himself be consumed by their fel magic.
* Neltharion the Earth-Warder, one of the Five Dragon Aspects, charged by the Titans to protect the lands of Azeroth, DugTooDeep. After a little MindRape by the resident {{Eldritch Abomination}}s, he's calling himself [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Deathwing]].
* Neltharion took every one of the black breed of dragons with him. They are hunted and mindlessly killed, sometimes just for sport. The truth is that they have all been driven completely insane and/or have lost every last one of their morals. The breed has almost been wiped out or forced under ground. It didn't help that Deathwing is dead, which probably just made things worse for the breed.
* By that same token, Malygos the Spell-weaver, the Aspect of the Blue dragonflight. Best remembered from the pre-Sundering days for his playfulness and good humor, being the protector of magic. After Deathwing wipes out most of the blue dragons and seriously wounds Malygos, the latter spends 10,000 years in isolation, going mad from loneliness and betrayal. Despite snapping out of his madness in ''Day of the Dragon'' to help fight Deathwing and free Alexstrasza and the rebirth of the Blue dragonflight, Malygos never goes back to his cheery old self. Instead, he declares war against all non-dragon magic users, forcing Alexstrasza to assist heroes in killing a fellow Aspect.
* The Scarlet Crusade, which started out fighting to protect humans from the Scourge in Lordaeron, and gradually became increasingly paranoid to the point that anyone not a Crusader was deemed tainted. [[FromBadToWorse Then their leader was outright corrupted by the undead.]]
