Ever since he found the [[Scythe of Elune]] jutting out of some rocks at [[Roland's Doom]], the [[worgen]] were unleashed on the area of [[Duskwood]]. Jitters somehow managed to escape after the worgen killed all of his comrades. He also witnessed the murder of [[Sven Yorgen]]'s family by the [[Black Rider]]s who were looking for the scythe. This "jittery" man currently lives apparently alone at the abandoned village of [[Raven Hill]] in Duskwood.

To collect the dark matter, you must select the Enslaved Minion's corpse and use the provided Rod of Siphoning. Two very common things can keep you from collecting the dark matter.

  • opening another corpse before collecting the dark matter from the enslaved Minion.
  • killing another mob before collecting the dark matter.

That is, to successfully collect the dark matter, you have to kill the summoner, then kill the minion, then use the rod. You can open the minion's corpse without losing the ability to successfully use the rod.
