informal 

to start behaving in a way that is not normal or expected, especially by leaving your group and doing something dangerous: A Special Forces unit had gone rogue and was trying to free the hostage. 

Rogue, by itself, has been used to refer to an elephant that has become violent (either from being separated from their herd, or because they have been injured) since at least 1835. When going rogue was first used it had a fairly specific meaning of 'behaving in an erratic or dangerous fashion.'
