The story I'm working on is going to be split in two halves, or trilogies. I thought it would be cool that the antagonist in part 2 is the hero of part 1. Im stuck, however, with figuring out how the hero will fall into darkness and why.
A little overview of the Fallen Hero:
The character is a banished Elven warrior who becomes a trusted ally and friend to a human King. The king names him Lord Protector, charged with being the king's bodyguard and personal "sword". When the king's son, the crown prince, turns fifteen the elf is made Lord Protector of the prince. Shortly after the kingdom suffers from a coup, the royal family is killed except for the prince and now the elf has to help the prince gather allies and forge alliances inorder to take his throne.
How do I corrupt the Elven hero and make his fall believable?
