[edit] Reverse Pick-pocketing

Question: If you reverse Pick-pocket a bound helmet onto him,does he respawn another black hood or does he remain alone in his no black hood ways?Drake3555 22:57, 2 June 2008 (EDT) Never mind. I tested and he doesn't--Drake3555 19:25, 15 June 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Silarian?

In Grewyn's journal he mentions a Dark Elf Crimson Scar named Silarian, who betray's them to the Black Hand because he didnt like being a Vampire. Is the Dark Minion supposed to be the same person. - 92.17.228.24 09:32, 23 June 2008 (EDT)

I doubt it. After all, if Salarian knew of Deepscorn Hollow, he would undoubtedly have told the Dark Brotherhood about it. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 09:52, 23 June 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Dark Minion in DB?

Isn't there that skeleton Dark Minion that patrols the DB's HQ? --Matthewest ^{•T•C•E•} 19:19, 4 July 2008 (EDT)

They are called 'Dark Guardians'. But yeah, one of those do patrol the sanctuary. --Shadownet Ninja 19:28, 4 July 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Mission Failure

What causes the dark minion to fail his mission (as indicated by the "Your dark minion has failed his task." message)? Was he killed? Was some precondition not met? Is it randomized? I have seen the failure message only twice upon walking into Deepscorn Cloister: once after arriving during gameplay then once again after loading that arrival's automatically created save point at the underwater door (with several attempts and one or two game exits and restarts in between). — Brian Sexton 01:37, 4 November 2008 (EST)

It's random. His script simply uses the GetRandomPercent function, with success being a value <75. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 03:29, 4 November 2008 (EST)

[edit] Minion Behavoir

Does he eat, because I stored a lot of alchemical ingredientts in the storage area and some of them are disapeering so I was just wondering if this was due to him eating them —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TakaRai (talk • contribs) on 15 June 2009.

Possibly (I can't check, I don't have the plug-in), but unlikely. That effect would only be minimal. You are more likely suffering from the Container Glitch. Check that page for details. --Timenn < talk > 07:33, 15 June 2009 (EDT)

Can someone check? Because I'd like to store my chokeberries and poisoned apples in the food cupboard, but I don't want him getting that permanent poisoning effect by eating one. Legoless 17:35, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Yes he does. Twice a day in Deepscorn Bastion. –rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 20:02, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Infamy

Does wearing the gray cowl can prevent infamy from be on your character when the dark minion come back? Because I have the Crusader's Relics from KotN plug-in and do not want infamy on my char. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.80.175.48 (talk • contribs) on 23 July 2009.

The infamy gets assigned to your Gray Fox "persona", so your normal infamy remains the same. Just tested it in-game to make sure. –rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 19:59, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Skill books

i know it might be a stupid question but if the Dark minion reads skill books eg: Immortal Blood does he gain the skill increase?--VergilSparda 19:55, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

No. NPCs who read books don't have their skill increased by it. They simply use the book for their read animation. --Timenn-<talk> 12:42, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks im on xbox so--VergilSparda 18:53, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
