The respawn on this guy is relatively short - maybe 3 minutes. So if you come up on someone killing him, don't worry, he respawns quickly.
Also, he no longer shifts behind you when he dies, though he does teleport behind you at one point while you're fighting him.
I think it's rather interesting that the high elves came to Kalimdor a hundred years ago for this expedition. For some reason I always thought they had forgotten it between the Highborne exile and the Third War.

Description
One hundred years ago... I and a small group of other High Elves traveled here from our homeland, Quel'thalas. We sought the ancient mysteries of Kel'thoril... to find why it was destroyed. We found fragments in the ice, shards of the crystal. The Archmage we accompanied did not take long to fall under their sway. In our foolishness, we noticed too late. His spirit wanders in the southeast, among those he drove to madness, still clutching the memory of the precious shard...

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Descendants of the Highborne
Not long after my death, the greed of my people would lead to their exile. A continent away, they would become Quel'dorei, the High Elves. In Quel'thalas they would bathe in the power of their Sunwell, and forget their legacy of desire and greed.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Descendants of the High Elves
Long after my death, my people would suffer an even greater mistake. The High Elves relied on the Sunwell and its glory. Never imagining a world without it, we would never make preparations to deal with such a fate.
