This is an extremely sad story. You go around to find this guy's eyes and his pet's corpse. Then after all of that, you watch him die with his pet's corpse. :(
You also have to do the quest from Taran Zhu. I just did this and it worked for me. He's top of the tower, east of the village.

Description
Rivett claims to have seen Zin'jun abandon ship with the rest of the survivors. That means he's still out there somewhere. We can't leave him behind. He could be injured or worse yet, captured! Go track down Zin'jun and bring him back.
