That's why actually DIDN't do that often.
I would check the village but I rarely hit the outer to "call" him.
And even when I did he wasn't always coming to defend. Sometimes he would come, sometimes he waited until I kill the outer and start hitting Destructor, sometimes he just didn't come at all and quit.

I did actually find him and kill him in different places.
Here is the list where I got charges from Malakhi:
1) Calandaryl. Ragers vs imperials.
2) In the Inn
3) raiding village
4) imperial lands. 3 ragers came to raid vs 3 imperials I think.
5) imperial lands again.
6) eastern road trap
7) strange Island jungle
8) voralia river. Trib thief trussed him there
9) raiding village

Keep in mind, I had a lot of enemies and Malakhi wasn't always the primary target or the primary threat.
If I'm online it doesn't mean I'm hardly looking for him. I could be busy with retrieval/defending or other stuff.
