So I had to do a little research to answer your question. That was a debuff called "Marked by the Night Haunter." I must have flown by him at just the right moment! If you get 10 stacks of that debuff you can fight the Night Haunter for his phat lewtz. Wowhead notes that "The Night Haunter is a reference to Warhammer 40,000. The Primarch of the Night-Lords Space Marine legion was Konrad Kurze, aka The Night Haunter." But a lesser known fact is that "Konrad Kurze" is a reference to "The Heart of Darkness," a novella by Joseph Conrad, whose "antagonist" is one "Mr. Kurtz." If you've seen Apocalypse Now," a loose adaptation of that novella, you know what I'm sayin.
