The name Timolain originates from the item [Timolain's Phylactery]. It was an quest item that erroneously dropped from Large Vile Slimes from The Weeping Cave until patch 1.7. Players did not have to be on a particular quest to obtain the drop, and it is unknown what quest was associated with it. The bug went unnoticed for a time because the slimes were in a remote location and few players killed them.
Timolain's Identity

Timolain is believed to be the name of the mage in the employ of the Scarlet Crusade referred to by Bardu Sharpeye and Alexia Ironknife. He crafted many weapons for use against the creatures of the Scourge, and was originally believed to have forged Ashbringer, Blade of the Scarlet Highlord. This, however, was later proven to be false. As it turned out it was Magni Bronzebeard who forged the Ashbringer upon the great anvil in Ironforge.
Timolain was executed by the Crusade for unknown reasons.
The phylactery was intended for a quest not yet implemented, many players assumed it was related to the Ashbringer, which was, and still is, not obtainable by players.
He may be a lich because phylacteries are used to store a Lich's remains. In a lengthy discussion on the World of Warcraft forums, players arrived at the premature (yet popular) conclusion that he must be the mage referred to by Bardu Sharpeye and Alexia Ironknife, and therefore the crafter of Ashbringer.
