TheWoWDBA Chosen Corpsehound will accompany you. When you are in the quest area, you will need to run around and wait for the Chosen Corpsehound to uncover an infiltrator, which will be indicated by him running towards a friendly NPC and a message in the chat window, like "The corpsehound starts to growl...".
You will need to talk to the NPC and click on the dialog option "You're acting suspicious.", which will turn the NPC hostile. Kill the NPC and repeat the process.

You can actually tell in advance which Chosen Protectors are going to "turn" (not all of them do). If you float your cursor over them and a chat bubble appears, that's one you will be able to turn into a Masked Infiltrator. You can see this well before the dog alerts you.
In case you have troubles finding [npc=169376], you can change (temporarily) Interface > Names > NPC Names to "Hostile NPC, quest givers and interactive". As you run around the area, the ones with their name shown in green will be them.

Description
The other houses have yet to launch a full scale assault, but do not mistake their cowardice for incompetence. Any tactician worth their weight in maldracite knows the value of espionage. I suspect that the agents of our foes skulk within our own ranks as we speak. Take one of my hounds. It will know our enemies by their scent. Once the pests have been discovered, exterminate them.
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.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Through the Fire and Flames
Margrave Krexus was pleased to hear of your service to our house. He senses great potential within you. Potential that must be tested. A stone stands at the center of our citadel, surrounded by magma. Reaching the stone is a challenge of endurance and fortitude.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Maintaining Order
Communication is the key to victory. The greatest strategists are rendered useless if their orders go unheard. Deliver my orders to Summoner Perex, Drill Sergeant Telice, and Secutor Mevix. And do it quickly. Every moment we waste is one our enemy will have to their advantage!
