The Noble Intention

Create a character who starts with noble intentions but descends into villainy. What derails them from their initial path?

Often, the line between good and evil is blurred and a character with the best intentions ends up walking down the wrong path. What starts your character down this slippery slope? Do they get consumed by power, corrupted by influence, or do they make a single catastrophic decision under duress? How do they feel about where they’ve ended up? Exploring these themes can offer your villain much-needed complexity.
