Boxing a 46 druid/cleric with 2 tank mercs, I got him to about 65%. His dmg output is extremely high esp if you get positioning wrong (he backstabs for 650ish). druids atk debuff and clerics CH really helped but it was just too much dmg to keep mercs alive. However I think its doable at 48-49 if you're boxing or in a group. Found out the hard way that he summons, so if you have to run due to any adds (which is likely to happen) be prepared.
just killed him a lil while ago, he dropped the mask and the quiver as well as a start ruby. he wasnt too bad of a fight for me a 67 rang with only 5.5khp and 5.k mana. he does get some hard hits in but his damage is incinsistent. i popped resistant disc and that seemed to cut down on the poison proc. though as soon as he got somwhere between 20 and 30 percent he got me down real hard and fast but after that he was gimp again.
Soloed him today in a 70 second melee fight with self buffs and virtue only. I had 7400 HP, AC 1400, ATK 1750. Hit one pot at 45% and no heals. He ran at 14% and I was at 21 when he went down with an arrow in his back. I probably would have had more health left if a Noc hadn't jump me when he hit about 65%. I ignored the Noc, looted quickly and pulled a Taco Bell (ran for the border). The poison proc is a PITA since it does go off about every 8 to 10 secs and hit me for about 500 hp average. All run speed changes were resisted. he dropped the mask and quiver.
I logged this encounter to see if it is soloable by a melee or hybrid class at level 65. Without potions and buffs, he is unsoloable for level 65 melee'ers. By buffs, I mean more than what you can solo buff yourself with.
I was able to kill him (it was close) with just Virtue (and the rest were self buffs) and no potions or mana/health regen. I logged over 25 procs in the first fight, and over 30 in another fight the next day (had to use LoH). That is more than 15K damage just from procs. If you can slow him, then do so. I kept him chain stunned throughout the fight using Force of Akilae and Akera. It seemed that he always came out of stuns with a proc.
He was firing off procs at a rate of about once every 10 seconds when he wasn't stunned. He started the encounter with 4 straight procs - 2K right away. Had me down to 70% within 5 seconds.
Without the proc, he is a wimp. If you can resist the proc, you are good to go. My lowest resist was less than 150 so the proc landed almost every time.
Oh, and he summons. I found out the hard way after stunning with kickback. He summoned me right on top of him and then backstabbed me!
Dropped the stupid mask that not even my twinks can use. Second time it rotted.

Also dropped Mask of Golden Delight for me. He is a stationary spawn in my experience, have always found him standing at the same place. He seems to spawn and stand at loc +1368,-253. This is between corner tower of castle and moat/trench thing that goes under the castle. Him and his ph also seem to be on a 20 minute spawn timer. The placeholders that I have seen all seem to be kyv of some kind, I've seen a kyv, and a kyv hearpiercer spawn there as well. Kyv Darkscout is dark blue to me at level 66.

this is NOT 65, was blue to me, and hit around 250 triple, with the potential to 540 proc, i could stun it with bard BBB AA, so around 50 or so. Was an easy kite for a full buffed 66 bard(ended with 60% hp). this DOES summon.
