He's alive according to George, but doesn't confirm if he'll make an appearance in the future. I certainly hope so.
I created my account on 10/21/08 but I never got into any pre-beta tests. I did get into the closed beta and was playing for several different builds. I remember getting the invite to closed beta and being so excited. A lot of changes since then but I do remember Khem'Val saying something that sounded oddly like "I'm on Follow" every time my assassin entered stealth in beta. That got annoying quick.
