TheWoWDBQuest seems to be bugged at the moment as I could not find captives around the highlighted area
but Zan'jir Destroyer at 41, 80 (right next to the horde cave) spawns with 5 Captives. Respawn timer is approximately 5 minutes.

Given the "under the sea" theme of Nazjatar, the name of this quest could very well be referencing the song "Poor, unfortunate souls" from Disney's The Little Mermaid…

Description
{name}, I am glad to see that you survived the wreck. Many were not as fortunate... I am capable of stalling the enemy here for now, but this position is not defensible long term. We need to find somewhere safe for our forces. Once we have taken measure of the wounded we will push on. In the meantime, find as many survivors as you can. Nazjatar will claim no more Horde lives today!
