Masterless minion

A masterless minion is a minion that is hostile to both allies and foes; it will attack anyone within its aggro zone except other masterless minions.

A minion becomes masterless when:
 * The character that controlled the minion dies.
 * Verata's Aura ends on a character that is in control of minions.
 * Verata's Gaze is used on a hostile minion.

In addition, a masterless minion is created directly when any character dies while hexed with Malign Intervention.

In PvP, masterless minions are shown as gray dots on the compass and their names are shown in gray text.

Tactics
In PvP, a common tactic is to kill the opposing team's minion master, complicating the opposition's own tactics by stripping them of their allies and forcing them to deal with additional foes. This is especially useful in the Fort Aspenwood Competitive Mission, in which minion masters are commonly used by the Kurzicks. (However, Master Architect Gunther uses Gunther's Gaze to kill all masterless minions within earshot of him.)
