It is currently unknown if he survived Dalaran's destruction.
History
Lan'dalock had a liaison with Matron Mother Malevolence before he joined the Kirin Tor.[1]
Cataclysm
During the assault on the Firelands, Archmage Lan'dalock could be found in Mount Hyjal assisting the adventurer against the forces of Ragnaros.[2]
Mists of Pandaria
Purge of Dalaran
During the Purge of Dalaran, Lan'dalock and two Silver Covenant enforcers guarded the entrance to the Violet Hold, where the captured or surrendered Sunreavers were being held. It was possible for Horde heroes to be banished to the hold's entrance by Jaina Proudmoore during Grand Magister Rommath's assault on the city, in which case they would fight and defeat Lan'dalock to secure their escape. During the battle, Lan'dalock summoned illusions of the various bosses he once tasked the adventurers to defeat during the course of war against the Lich King.
Rise of the Thunder King
Archmage Lan'dalock later made an appearance in Violet Rise on the Isle of Thunder, where he was tasked by Jaina to dismantle the presence of the Zandalari trolls at Za'Tual.[3]
Legion
During the third invasion of the Burning Legion, after Dalaran moved to the Broken Isles, Lan'dalock could be found at his usual spot outside the Violet Hold. He also sent his projection to the Violet Citadel.
The Illidari demon hunters used Lan'dalock's old connection with Malevolence to their advantage and secured his help in breaking into the Black Temple by sending their Slayer to the projection. When Lan'dalock was about to provide a grimoire to them, an imp stole it, so he asked the champion to chase the thief.[4]

Notes and trivia
- Lan'dalock has several apprentices.[5]
- He doesn't like being underground.[6]
- During [32-35 Daily] The Protectors of Hyjal, he rides an [Amani War Bear] and [Swift Flying Broom].

- His name may be a pun on "landlocked," which may be less of a stretch if you consider that he and Archmage Timear were the first quest giver NPCs to be given collision boundaries.
- When engaged by members of the Horde during the Purge of Dalaran, he summons various images of Wrath of the Lich King bosses, such as:
