TheWoWDBPrevious directions are a bit off. You go in, turn right and then turn LEFT towards the sleeping area with the bunk beds and LEFT again. The entrance to the basement is just through the archway. It is a bit dark and hard to see. If you get to the stairs you have gone too far.
Or another way of explaining it, is if you are standing facing the stairway to the second floor the entry to the basement is on your right just inside the arch that heads back to the area with the beds.

It really helped to know there was a basement to find him. If you dont get all the turns right, just look to the right of the room with the green carpet. It is basically under the stairs going up to 2nd floor. Look to the left of the arched doorway to the next walkway before you go thru.
go inside, turn right, turn right again facing the sleeping area, turn left were u are at centre of house (before the sleeping area) just after the arch way look down to your right its there! just as u hit the centre room!
Sorry if its hard to understand :) hope this helps!

Description
One of the more vile members of the Scarlet Crusade, Mataus the Wrathcaster, lurks within the barracks' dungeon. Undeath suits his dark manner. Were I younger and on the front lines, I'd run him through myself. As things are, I'm left behind to lead our forces from the rear. So I leave the pleasure to you.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Scarlet Salvage
This battle was won before it started. Right now, we're just shooting for style points. Within these barracks, the sniveling Scarlet Crusaders cling to their priceless artifacts, even though some of the objects are too holy for their now-undead hand to touch.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Huntsman
We've already lost half a dozen men to a hail of bullets and arrows coming from atop this fortress. I haven't seen the face of the enemy that's firing, but I don't need to. I know the name of the man up there. Leopold. That's right, there's only one man up there, picking off my men one-by-one.
