How the fang empire recruits

In order to recruit a villain to the Fang Empire, Fang or Dormmamu will send out several Bionicle warriors to seek out a specific villain, drag the villain to Nega Coruscant's Imperial Castle, have the villain tell Fang their name, purpose, function, and powers to him in order to see if he or she is useful to the empire, and then be judged on their usefulness. If the villain is unworthy, the Bionicle soldiers send the villain back to their world with a revoked letter. If the villain is worthy, Fang will make a name of the villain appear magically out of thin air, scramble around the letters and add an X to their name, then imprint the heartless symbol to the villain's chest and have them pledge undying loyalty to the empire and Dormammu. Othello and the Witches 5 were exempt from this process because Fang favored them the most to let them be damaged during the recruition.
