Line 4:
See that guy, [[Only Mostly Dead]] after a [[Heroic Sacrifice]]? He will do. A quick brainwashing, a new name and clothes and while you are putting his damaged body back together you can always make some improvements. If no half-dead hero is available, you can always use the remains of the previous season [[Big Bad]], or even some of your past victims. What is important is that they are not just [[Brainwashed and Crazy]] . The new minion must be customized for your needs. So turning dead heroes undead does not count by itself, but creating a death knight will.
May coincide with [[That Man Is Dead]] and obviously [[We Can Rebuild Him]]. Sometimes involves a [[Deal with the Devil]]. [[Evil Costume Switch]] is pretty much mandatory. If the change is dramatic, it may also be a case of [[Was Once a Man]].
As mentioned, this trope requires the victim to be custom-modified. Also it must be someone either important (a powerful wizard, a king) or plot -relevant (the hero's childhood friend) prior to the transformation and important for the villain's plans after.
Line 10:
Compare [[The Corrupter]].
If the subject has [[Heroic Willpower]], may result in a [[Phlebotinum Rebel]].
A type of [[Face Monster Turn]].
