No-one, I suspect. The collar would likely disappear forever when the Enslave went off.

If he was Charmed, however...

Heh. For bonus coolness, an independent Demon Lord of some sort could appear for a turn and then cast Returning (or just retreat, if it had stormflight).

Thanks for the info, Edi.

Lychantropos' Amulet could be a way of getting rid of a bunch of Eagle kings sitting on your capitol ... if they have free misc slots. You're paying 10N (or 7N) to turn a thunderstriker into a research mage. And with flight they'll die pretty fast if you catch them in combat.

Would not be a terrible plan versus a Gorgon (or other SC god that depends on magic) who's got free slots and uses Mistform/Ironskin buffs etc., if you've run out of other ideas.

Erm, wouldn't somebody with a slave collar be immune to Enslave Mind, being Mindless?

Are they mindless? I thought they were just feebleminded and had boosted morale.

Actually, we just recently had that discussion - that the Slave Collar would actually have a niche use if it gave the Mindless flag, which it currently does not.
