When you approach [npc=159930] to turn in this quest, he is happy to see you but a little confused:

Spoiler
My apprentice! You return!

  • Your "apprentice"? What are you talking about?

Now, my apprentice, there is no need for humility. You must have more confidence in yourself!

You are my brightest, most devoted student. I would be remiss not to cultivate such talent with individual instruction!

I was just wondering where you had gone. We still need to complete our potion for Margrave Stradama! She'll surely be eager to see your progress.

Upon accepting Lotus Tea from [npc=56114], he says:

Come, my apprentice! You ARE my apprentice, right...?

[npc=159930] (upon completion of The House of Plagues, which incidentally is the first time the player character/Maw Walker meets him):

My apprentice! I have been searching everywhere for you!

...or should I say, "the first time they meet him in the Shadowlands"?

I'm just gonna... leave that here now...

Description

The House of Plagues was the first to fall in this conflict. We believed its demise was the result of a careless accident. If only we had known the truth sooner... But perhaps not all their knowledge was lost. Before you arrived, our scouts reported signs of movement near the wreckage of their necropolis. If any survivors remain, we'd be wise to add them to our ranks. But approach with caution. The toxic fallout may have left them mad... or worse.
