A mentor once had a student, perhaps the mentor's most promising and skilled student ever. But that student had a flaw, a seed of villainy that just needs a trigger. Usually it's arrogance about his/her skills or impatience at not being taught the final skills that the mentor has yet to teach. Then the student [[FaceHeelTurn becomes a villain]], even the BigBad.
Sometimes the mentor is the protagonist, and will have to take the student down in the story. But far more often the protagonist is [[MasterApprenticeChain another student the mentor takes on]].
Compare DeceptiveDisciple (when the student was evil the whole time, just pretending not to be), FallenHero and TheParagonAlwaysRebels.

!!Examples:
* [[TropeNamer Named]] for a line in ''StarWars Episode IV: ANewHope'', from Obi Wan's description of Darth Vader:
-->A young Jedi named Darth Vader, who was a pupil of mine until he turned to evil, helped the Empire hunt down and destroy the Jedi knights
** And mirrored in the prequel trilogy with [[TheStarscream Dooku]], who was [[TheYoda Yoda]]'s pupil before his [[HeelFaceTurn Heel Face Turn]].
* The villain of ''KungFuPanda''.
* Morzan for Oromis in ''{{Eragon}}''.
* According to [[AllThereInTheManual the manual]] for the original ''{{Banjo-Kazooie}},'' Gruntilda the witch was a student of Mumbo-Jumbo's until she turned evil... and to pay him back, she turned his head into a skull-shaped metal mask. It seems to have been {{Ret Con}}ned, though, with ''Grunty's Revenge'' (which takes place in the past) has Mumbo Jumbo as an up-and-coming shaman without a pupil... and a face that's still skull-shaped.
* ''DungeonsAndDragons'' ForgottenRealms setting. The Shadowsil was an archmage who was originally an apprentice to Elminster before she became evil.
** ...Sammaster (for a time), Raerlin (has a dubious achievement of saying "Death has come for you at last, Old Mage" twice -- once while still alive, once as a lich), and so on. And on.
*** And the ''Series/DungeonsAndDragons'' cartoon. The Dungeon Master revealed that Venger was a former pupil. In the unaired series finale Venger is revealed to be Dungeon Master's son.
* Betelgeuse in the movie {{Beetlejuice}}, worked for afterlife case worker Juno before he became a "freelance bio-exorcist."
* Of the first ''FireEmblem'' [[TheDragon Garnef]] is an ex-pupil of Gato's. This part of the reason why [[RestoredMyFaithInHumanity Gato lacks faith in humanity]].
* ''TheLegendOfZelda: The Minish Cap'': Said by Ezlo about Vaati, who "became enchanted by the wickedness in the hearts of men."
* In ''{{Alice 19th}}'', Darva was originally Master Lotsuan's disciple.
* Played word-for-word straight by Jarrod in ''[[PowerRangers Power Rangers: Jungle Fury]]''. His counterpart in ''JuukenSentaiGekiranger'' follows roughly the same path, but there is no single trigger that causes him to switch: he simply becomes dissatisfied with the progress he's making under the good guys.
* Vargas in ''FinalFantasyVI''.
