You do not have to tag the emissary of hate in order to plant the flag in him.
Therefore, if you find him dead already, just plant the flag and you'll get credit.
I repeat, you do not have to kill him.

Upon recovering the Sun's Reach Armory (completion of phase 2), this quest replaces The Battle for the Sun's Reach Armory, and has the same objective but is a permanent daily quest that can be completed for reputation and reward, and will always be available once it is unlocked.

Description
We must continue to defeat and demoralize the armies of the Legion. The emissaries of hate are Legion shocktroopers deployed to reinforce tactical Legion positions. The enemy rallies around them for they fear them more than they fear us. Today we will change that. Take this banner and slay the demons of the Legion. When you meet the emissary, slay and impale him.
