The tattoos you see on him when he's on the racks makes me believe he was once a demon hunter.
At one point, Kael'thas sent five blood elves to be trained as demon hunters under Illidan. One of them succeeded, one of them went crazy, and the other three died. Perhaps Koltira was one of those unfortunate three?
Koltira Deathweaver will be on a painbench in the basement if no one started the event yet. As soon he is in his magic dome you can pick up the quest, waves of magic dealing adds spawn and after a while the High Inquisitor will.
Stay inside the anti magic dome and you will take very little damage.Anyone can loot the corpse of the Inquisitor, even people outside of your party.

Description
The alarms have been sounded. The High Inquisitor and his acolytes will be here soon. I'm too badly injured to be of much use, but I'll do what little I can to help. Slay the High Inquisitor and his cronies. Tear off his head and return with it to Thassarian. Vengeance will soothe his savage soul. One more thing, {name}. If you do manage to survive and make it back to Thassarian, tell him that they're executing prisoners at the chapel. Perhaps he'll send you there to play the hero once more.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Brothers In Death
Breaking through the Scarlet lines was no easy task. We suffered many casualties during the assault and lost one of our best death knights, Koltira Deathweaver. I don't know whether he's dead or alive, but I'll be damned if we don't search for him.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Cry For Vengeance!
The cry for vengeance must be heard, <name>. Commander Plaguefist and a company of death knights are on their way to raze the Chapel of the Crimson Flame. If there are any death knights imprisoned at the chapel, Plaguefist will get them out. You can still catch up to them if you hurry.
