To me thrall implies Vampire. That's a power only displayed by The master, Drusilla and Dracula. But that really doesn't gel with the rest of the definitions. Amy and her mother could be a duo that sort of fits the bill. Thrall could refer to a spell. Amy was very Magic Willow-y last season. Plus they have agrudge against the Scoobies (sort of). The Knights of Byzantium are another they, but they fit none of the other criteria. The last one is Ben/Glory, but that's an extraordinarily long shot. Glory is rumored to reappear (interview by the actress) and to fight. As you see I'm really clutching at Straws. I'm even considering a Drusilla/Harmony tag team...
Of course, if the LB isn't Drusilla, there goes a huge chunk of the theory.
