The loyalty you broke became the legend you built.
means A person who abandons one group, cause, or set of beliefs and switches allegiance to the opposite side, often defiantly and on their own terms.
from From Spanish 'renegado,' meaning one who has renounced the faith — originally used for Christians who converted to Islam, or vice versa, in the religiously charged world of medieval and early modern Iberia and North Africa. It traces back to Latin 'renegare' — 're-' (again) plus 'negare' (to deny) — literally 'to deny again,' i.e., to deny one's former faith a second, decisive time. The word carried real danger and real betrayal once; only later did it soften into the swaggering, rule-breaking sense we use for rebels and outlaws today.
