This is one possible path that TheCorrupter may take. Often a dark twist on BecauseYouWereNiceToMe. Sometimes the case for a character who was RecruitedFromTheGutter. Compare ForcedIntoEvil and TrappedInVillainy where a servant is not-so-subtly made to do their boss's bidding. Also compare PoisonAndCureGambit based on the method of the villain's manipulation. Contrast BrainwashedAndCrazy where a villain uses more [[MindControl direct methods]] to turn a person into their servant. ReforgedIntoAMinion has a similar situation, where a villain recruits someone who is near death, though the two can overlap if it's revealed the villain was behind the events that nearly got the servant killed.
