If you have the War Campaign quests from Kelsey Steelspark you are phased and cannot compete this quest until you finish her questline through Getting a Clue. Once you have turned in Getting a Clue, and she gives you Reporting in! you will be able to see the him again.
Note, the Trickshots for The Irontide crew are also phased and cannot be killed for their powder horns while you have Kelsey's Quests.

Description
All this legwork will be for nothing if we can't show Katherine hard proof linking the Ashvane Company to the freebooters here in Freehold. Ashvane might have been careful to encrypt their books, but I doubt the dockmaster here has any reason to be so secretive. Check his office and find us something--anything--that connects him to Ashvane.
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.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Irontide Crew
You see those salty looking guys in red? That's the Irontide crew. They're the worst of the worst. Cutthroats and brigands, to a man. Irontide wouldn't be guarding the docks if they didn't stand to gain something... Lighten their pockets. See what kinda hardware they've got.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Dress to Impress
Freehold used to be open to anyone, but now it seems the Irontide Raiders have declared themselves the owners. They're locking the place down and turning away anyone who isn't part of the crew. Fortunately, they're also hiring. Put this on. Don't think about where it came from.
The storyline at a glance
Freehold has 12 steps, from Stow and Go to Fairwind's "Friends".
Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Tiragarde Sound (12).
