Confirmed location 33,70. Aldaron is at the top of the tower - just go up the spiral ramp. He has 2 thugs with him. I targeted Aldaron, killed him and looted his head - then jumped off the tower and did a corpse run (didn't need to kill his thugs). Level 9 BE Hunter.

Could be a reference to Aldarion (Tar-Aldarion), the sixth king of Númenor. He was a great sailor and mariner and his romance with Erendis ended tragically, which could also referr to his 'wretched'-state. Although since the spelling isn't identical (like it's in other references) I could be wrong, which I probably am.
Anyways that was a sidetrack, he is pretty hard to pull solo (tryed all BE classes) unless you're like level 10 and then it's still hard to pull just him since he got alot of adds, or atleast alot of mobs around him that also aggros if you pull him. But in return he doesn't seem to use any special abilities, just normal 'white' attacks.

if you dont use coords...wretched ringleader done in sunsail anchorage, (south of the west santum island)in eversong woods. when i first got this quest i couldn't find how to get to the top floor of the big building because the ramp is kinda hidden, in case anyone else has that same problem: go up the little ramp at the south of the building marked by two red flags. kill the few mobs inside the bottom floor then go thru the funny shaped doorway north of the entrance ramp. then turn to your left (look for a tattered chest too!) and go up the other ramp there. Follow the ramp on up, up, up and you will find the named mob you need to kill at the very top. the guards can be pulled individually and the named mob is not tough to kill. GL!

What to do
Description
The Wretched are so oblivious, gorging on foul magic, that they haven't realized we've recovered most of our weapons. We can't expect them to remain in their stupor, though. Now is the time for a decisive attack. Let us make an example of their leader, Aldaron. He was spotted on the top floor of the building by the anchorage. Bring me his head; I'll reward you suitably.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Ring of Mmmrrrggglll
The Grimscale murlocs have not been scared off by your efforts. But, I think I know what will send them packing, as well as get me some personal retribution. They have a murloc chieftain that calls itself Mmmrrrggglll. It wanders the Golden Strand south of the river inlet.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Captain Kelisendra's Lost Rutters
Interesting... what you have found here is a water-proofed, leather tube containing a number of sheets of parchment. By the markings upon them, the pages are clearly navigation rutters, and each bears the signature of one Captain Kelisendra.
