TheWoWDBLore: If anyone remembers the quest letter ("A Letter to Yvette" written by Thurman Agamand) that could be found on Rattlecage skeletons or the sorcerers, Devlin Agamand was the one who betrayed the Agamand family when the Scourge attacked, allowing them inside the perimeter and even murdering a few of the farm hands. The letter describes Devlin as being a selfish, weak man who readily threw his allegiance with the Scourge, who rewarded him with undeath. He was scum all around and it's no surprise he attacks you when his spirit is resurrected.

I did the quest for this guy on my 80 Rogue, and he spawned as L81. Wasn't hard to kill, just a curious thing I noticed. Anyone else have a similar experience?
For anybody whose powers of observation are as awful as mine, please note that he appears as a spectre floating several feet above the bed in front of Malia after she yells for him to show his ugly mug.

While the Frozen Throne lies dormant, the grasp that the Lich King once held over the Scourge grows ever-weaker. His grip on a weakling like Devlin Agamand should be weak enough that we can remove it entirely. Speak with Shadow Priestess Malia in the manor on the east side of town. She will assist you in the procedure.
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.
