To save him, between completing "A Matter of Life and Death" and starting "Now or Never", fast travel to the Glory Gate, then head over the bridge. The pyre will be there along with some witch hunters, I didn't have time to notice any prisoners. As soon as you cast aard on the pyre they will hostile you, and after you finish off the last one a brief cutscene involving Moritz will play.

There you go. It was annoying having to repeat Now or Never because I thought you could snag him while it was in progress - nope. So deal with this guy as soon as you can i.e. right after completing A Matter of Life and Death.
