TheWoWDBNPC Zinfizzlex is at the entrance to Winterax cave (across the bridge from Snowfall graveyard).
Whichever faction talks to him FIRST gets him as their ally. He then walks (slowly) back across the bridge and then RUNS from the base of the Snowfall bluff to either Frostwolf keep (if horde) or Dun Baldur (if Alliance). He CAN be killed by the opposing team.
If he manages to successfully make it to the keep you can then get / hand in the quests

You'll get the badges but the shredder doesn't work if your level 70. Found that out the hard way. Blizzard polish indeed.
Still bugged as of 2024 ! I am level 49 (upscaled to 80 in Korrak's Revenge) and it doesn't work.

Description
I'm as anxious as you are to try out my portable shredder unit, {race}, but before I can make the kit, I'm going to need materials - lots of materials! To be exact, I'm going to need a mountain of thorium, mithril, and iron. I will also need one steamsaw per unit. You'll have to get those at the lumber mill. When I was nosing around in here (before my capture) I noticed a pile of steamsaws at the Stormpike lumber camp.
