Line 54:
== Literature ==
* Morgoth in ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]''. Explicitly the strongest Valar, and decides to weave evil into Eru Illuvatar's creation.
** A bit subverted, since the first thing that Melkor did when he obtained free will was to attempt to bully the rest of the Ainur and even Eru into making things HIS way. So he is not a Fallen Paragon since he was never good to begin with.
** Saruman as well. He was the chosen the leader of the five Maiar and the white council sent to defend Middle Earth from Sauron, but defects to Sauron's side.
** Hell, even the Kings of Numenor could count in this. They were the Greatest Kingdom of Man before their fall.
* ''[[The Silmarillion]]'':
** Melkor was the greatest of the Valar, and when he fell, he dragged a number of the Maiar with him.

* In ''[[Stationery Voyagers]]'', Luminarod was about to be the Paragon. But no sooner did [[The Nicknamer|Dolondri]] offer him the title of Prociot than the gears in his head immediately snapped; and he began to question the Definition Essentials. When he didn't get the answers he wanted, he immediately tried to overthrow God; and became the codifier of all evil. Martarel, who would have been the Duciot, receives the title of Prociot immediately after expelling Luminarod from Alto and clogging the Chasm Tube connecting Alto to Darko, so that it would become the Great Chasm. [[Captain Obvious|Sort of a compromise]] between what's left unstated in [[The Bible]] and what's made explicit by Dante.
* Ambrosio, from ''[[The Monk]]''. An extremely devout monk. The progress of the novel chronicles his fall from innocence and virtue to complete evil.
