The game can get a little pissy if you don't fall for its little trap. That encounter seems to be triggered by moving through some unspecified point between the basilisks and the rats. If you managed to skip over the basilisks by passing through the giant rat waterslide, you may not set off the flag to trigger the encounter. Whenever I had trouble getting him to spawn I just walked back to the stairs near the ring then made my way back to him. Sure enough it'll get him to spawn, but strangely only after i've move a bit past where he's supposed to be. At least it makes for an easy backstab.
