Reduction in Force is a quest for level 10-40. It rewards 1 reward item, 10,950 experience and money. Completing it counts toward 1 achievement.

Description

I was a fool to trust him after the fiasco over the Barov family fortune! What I should have done is killed him the first chance I had.

And now he thinks he's going to plumb this land for all that it's worth and cut me out?!

No, dear brother, not this time! There can only be one CEO of Barov Industries and it will be me.

My peasant friend, you must do me this service. Find my brother, Alexi, and serve him a notice of termination!

You will likely find him out in the wilds, near small timber.

All you have to do is get near a Small Timber and he will spawn.

Okay so he can spawn anywhere on small timber, in all areas not only Shadowmoon.
This means that you don't have to waste your time scouring for him in Shadowmoon, but just continue on with whatever it was you was doing, and you will run into him eventually.
You can tell it's him when the dot on your minimap turns into a skull as you approach it.
He has a few mobs with him.
He has no special abilities, and can only be attacked once he has completed a few lines of text.

Ok so I killed Alexi but the '?' turn-in marker was showing in the fishing pond and there is no one there.
I believe it's because I'm currently upgrading the Lumber Mill to lvl 2 and that's where the character is supposed to be.
