Quest Helper is currently locating Stefan Vadu at the wrong spot. If you look at his NPC location on wowhead it's the further most west one.

Edit: It seems Quest Helper just searches for the closest NPC of that name so it was incorrectly leading me.

Actually, i found i went to the Northmost area first, and he was sitting there on his flyer. Obviously he doesn't have a flyer at Ebon, so we're trusting that its a double up. But i missed the opportunity to turn it in cause of mobs bombarding me, so he flew off. But i wouldnt encourage the idea of heading to the northmost area, because hes only there for a VERY breif time. EDIT: Well it turns out that after you finish the last quest in the chain, you turn that into him while he's on his flyer. He will stay like that until you turn it in. If you ever see him down there, it is most probably

Description

West of here, across the ruined roads and structures, is the death knight encampment of Ebon Watch. <Crusader Lord Lantinga rolls up Drakuru's orders.> Take these orders and deliver them to Stefan Vadu. He is the death knight in command at Ebon Watch. Let him know that the Argent Crusade will deal with Prince Navarius. They'll have to handle Drakuru. Be careful, {name}. The way to Ebon Watch is teeming with Scourge.

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.
