thralled
Under complete control
Thralled means enslaved or held in bondage, from thrall (a slave or captive).
The word appears almost exclusively in fantasy fiction and historical contexts: The dark lord thralled the villagers to do his bidding.
More commonly, people use enthralled, which has shifted from literal enslavement to mean captivated or fascinated.
