[BRAINSTORMING] A Darkin Slaver/Overseer type Champion

The idea of a Slave-Master Champion is bound to be an intriguing one. Basically, someone who enslaves and tortures the strongest of beings, bending them to his will WITHOUT needing to kill them (ala Mordekaiser). Make such a Champion a Darkin, and you'd have a winner.

However, there's the matter of a kit. I'm a little iffy on what would be most appropriate, so I'm looking for ideas.

Here are at least a couple of ideas.

Passive - Oppressor Deal bonus damage to enemy Champions who have a lower health percentage than you. This bonus improves if you are near allied Champions.

Q - Tyrannical Lash Next basic attack deals bonus damage and causes the target to take slightly amplified damage for a short time. Resets attack timer; applies on-hit effects.

Beyond that, I'm open to ideas.

Theme: So basically Thresh + Mordekaiser + Aatrox

Don't really think that gaining control of an enemy that is alive is a good idea (counterplay / clarity). Maybe controlling monsters could be nice (buff deliveries/special effects for monsters) as it doesn't seem as oppresive (taking control away from a player is a no go).

Passive: Pretty annoying that it forces you to be near allies for the best damage (weird for a Darkin slaver). Otherwise it seems a bit snowbally (you aren't very likely to be at a health advantage when you are behind).

Q: Damage amplification is a tricky thing, but I personally like marks more than percentage, since they give a clear visual indicator and "feel" better.

I don't really like to give ideas, as this is supossed to be YOUR concept and not mine, but I think you already include some important aspects.

Some quick ideas depending on where you want to take him: (I called him Dave. Don't ask why :I) New Toy: Whenever Dave has no pet and kills an unique unit (buffs, epics, champions) that unit turns into his pet (has X% reduced stats). Interacts with abilities. Unleash the Beast: Dave summons an abomination and rides it into battle. The abomination has (X + X% Dave's Health AR MR) and a seperate healthbar, which gets depleted instead of his. Abilities have increased range while riding the abomination. Unleash the Dogs: Dave summons X of his trained dogs, which search out the nearest enemy champion with low health (MS depends on missing HP). When they reach their target they maul it revealing, slowing it by X% and dealing X damage. Time to play: Dave gains increased MS for X seconds. When AA an enemy champion he deals X extra damage and slows and this buff resets. Gruesome Lashes: Dave channels for a short duration (moves while charging) and then unleashes X (depending on duration) lashes. Each hit applies onhit effects and deals X% reduced damage. You are mine: Dave marks an enemy champion. Attacking the marked champion applies a stack that lasts for X seconds. When X stacks are reached the target is stunned for X seconds. Dance of Pain: Dave whrils his whip three times dealing X damage to struck enemies. When he doesn't hit any enemies in a full swing the next swing deals X% more damage.
