He is in the hut to the West of Crusader Lord Dalfors. 85,76
He is hidden in there, so you can not see the yellow ? unless you pan your camera angle down to eye lvl. I was looking from above, and completley missed him, which sent me searching for his location.
I tried 86, 76. That loc is up on the hill with all the tents.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
