Zinnin Smythe

Zinnin Smythe is a powerful worgen warlock member of the Council of the Black Harvest. He was present at the Maelstrom and was made mute from the trauma of watching Deathwing being unmade.

After convening with his fellow warlocks on the Council, Zinnin was partnered with Ritssyn to venture into Sulfuron Keep and gather the power left behind by the Firelord.

After the Battle for the Broken Shore, Zinnin and the rest of the Council of the Black Harvest sought out a powerful warlock to take place as the Sixth member of the Council, having since lost Kanrethad. They met in the sewers of Dalaran to open a portal into the deepest parts of the Twisting Nether and bind a powerful demon to their will in order to grow stronger against the Burning Legion. Things went wrong as the powerful demon they managed to summon, Jagganoth, overwhelmed the Council, killed Zelifrax Wobblepox, and took the others captive on his personal world, Dreadscar Rift.

Zinnin, chained to a pillar, was eventually freed by the Sixth of the Black Harvest alongside the other members but Ritssyn Flamescowl, who had succumbed from his wounds. Together, they infiltrated the archives of Jagganoth and stole the Tome of Blighted Implements. Unfortunately, they were discovered; Jagganoth, burning with rage, attacked them and knocked all the members of the Council to the ground, except for the Sixth who had managed to flee and return to Dalaran with Calydus, a demon that joined their cause.

Zinnin and the others were thus sent to the dreadlord Mephistroth on the world of Niskara. The Sixth, having since been named First of the Council of the Black Harvest, came for them and saved them once more. They returned to Dreadscar Rift, their newly conquered world and base of operations against the Burning Legion.

Zinnin participated in the summoning and binding of the Eredar Twins to the Council's will.
