He's wielding Admiral Taylor's Greatsword, just in case anyone is curious.
I was.

I want to know what cloak he's wearing when in your garrison! Its grey, gold and blue, with a large Stormwind lion on the back. First time I've seen it.

It doesn't appear that this NPC sells any items anymore.

When I talk to him normally, he says he has commissioned some useful items, but there is no option to browse goods (only "Goodbye"); I tried interacting after accepting the Invasion quest (but before talking to him to begin it) and still was unable to purchase these items.

However, when I talk to my Innkeeper (Deedree) she has the items available for sale.

The quests started from Scouting Missives are the equivalent of the ones randomly assigned from the War Planning Map, in terms of the possibility of achievement completion and garrison invasion repuation.

For example, both Assault on the Everbloom Wilds and Missive: Assault on the Everbloom Wilds will enable you to complete Burn It to the Ground, Picky Palate and Pillars of Draenor. They both also grant the same amount of repuation (12000) towards garrison invasions, via GarInvasion_Primals.

as in 6.1 he starts selling stuff. its good to mention he has two locations, so if you are:

MAX level: he standing under the roof next to the castle near resource cache (left side when leave the castle)

for XP elixir buyers 90+
as you enter the garrison (north entrance), he is on the left side among with quest board.

hope it helps, if somebody will have hard time finding him (like me fresh 91)

simple macro for targeting and marking him with star icon

Ok it's Legion and BFA times so let's talk about some more about these invasions. Real purpose of doing them is mount farming

What's the idea?
The Draenor Garrison can have these invasions from different Draenor civilizations. You want to trigger an invasion of your choosing and earn 1300 points (Platinum) so you can receive 2 bags that each of them has chance of dropping the mounts. The two bags are:

Invader's Forgotten Treasure for earning Gold score (1000)
Routed Invader's Crate of Spoils for earning Platinum score (1300)

They can contain 4 mounts:

Garn Steelmaw
Giant Coldsnout
Shadowhide Pearltusk
Smoky Direwolf

Unfortunately, the drop rate is rather low. ~1 % for each mount. Good news is that there are 2 bags that can drop these mounts and 1 bag can drop more than 1 mount. However, for this to happen you need to be extremely lucky. Most of the time people do 30-40 invasions and they haven't seen even 1 mount to drop.

How to trigger an invasion?
Go to Sergeant Crowler if you are Alliance or Sergeant Grimjaw if you are Horde. They sell these Missive items that can send you on a quest to irritate a specific Draenor faction so they can attack you back in a form of Invasion. From all the types of invasions i've found Scouting Missive: The Pit to be the quickest. Some are really slow and painful and actually pretty boring to complete so i think that Scouting Missive: The Pit is the best one to choose. You will need to go to Gorgrond and kill iron horde around the Black Foundry entrance 50 27 coordinates. To kill enough to complete the Missive quest just takes a few minutes unlike other types of Missives. You can also cruise around to check for Poundfist rare while you are there. Ok so you have completed the Missive quest and you port back to your Garrison. Inside the Garrison building you turn in the quest. Go outside and check out Sergeant Crowler or Sergeant Grimjaw. They should be waiting with a quest to offer you that's called Garrison Invasion!. Start it and the invasion will start.

The invasion itself?
Getting Platinum should be easy. Everything is being one shotted so it's more about mobility. Use Aoe to finish off the mobs quickly. You will see a score counter so you know where you are. Don't worry if by the end of the timer you are not at 1300. After the 7 minute timer ends there are 2 more phases that will award points. Once you defeat the last boss you will be awarded the bags. Open then and hope for mounts. That's it

So let's summarize some of the info:

1. Use Scouting Missive: The Pit to spawn an invasion with least pain involved
2. Complete the invasion with 1300+ score to get 1 more bag that can contain mounts
3. There are mounts that drop from the invasion reward bags - Invader's Forgotten Treasure reward for Gold invasion score and Routed Invader's Crate of Spoils for Platinum. Both bags drop from a single invasion if you have completed Platinum.
4. 4 mounts drop here and drop rate unfortunately is very low. You could do 30 invasions and still not have a single mount. You can have 2 mount drops from the same bag.
5. You can do 1 invasion per character per week which means that you can use alts to help out with the grind.
6. The whole deal takes around 30 minutes if using the guide here
7. Here is a script to check if you can't remember if you have done an Invasion this week
/run for k, v in pairs({Silver=37639,Bronze=37638,Gold=37640,Platinum=38482}) do print(format("%s: %s",k, IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(v) and "\124cFFFF0000Looted\124r" or "\124cFF00FF00Not Looted Yet\124r")) end

Extras:
The invasion reward bags have a low chance to drop Bloodied Iron Horde Banner which you can use to summon an Invasion boss called Commander Dro'gan who also have a 1% chance to drop a mount

For completionism, does anyone know if it's possible to complete all of his quests/missives or are they infinite?
