* Winn Adami in ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'', who goes from a vedek (similar to a bishop or cardinal) to the kai (leader, equivalent to a pope) of a SaintlyChurch purely in pursuit of personal power, and somehow fools everyone except the main characters. (She even tries to have a rival vedek assassinated.) Initially she believes that [[ItsAllAboutMe everything that goes right for her is proof she's doing the Prophets' will, and everything that goes wrong is a test]], but later she decides that if the Prophets don't agree with her they're wrong, and turns to the Pah-Wraiths, the Bajoran equivalent of demons. Though, during the GrandFinale, after [[spoiler:Gul Dukat]] has tricked her into releasing the Wraiths and helped him essentially become TheAntiChrist, she helps Sisko stop him. [[spoiler:[[RedemptionEqualsDeath Naturally, she dies.]]]] At first, Winn expressed resentment of the Federation's presence due to their secularism. Later, when Sisko starts to embrace his role as [[MessianicArchetype the Emissary of the Prophets]], it's more that she sees him personally as a threat to her power. After all, when the Emissary has arrived, what need is there for a Kai? It's rather akin to a scenario where the Pope is resentful of the fact that Jesus outranks him, which illustrates how much her ambition twisted her religious beliefs.
