TheWoWDBI am very tempted to believe the Runecarver is actually the missing Primus. There's too many parallels for me to see him as anyone else.
The armor and helm remind me of Maldraxxus designs. The helm especially looks like that of the Primus. The Primus is said to be a legendary runecarver and blacksmith, which we saw evidence of in Maldraxxus with the runeblade we empowered. The Runecarver is the one who aids us in crafting legendary armor. While the statues in the storm beyond the Runecarver's chamber look similar to Mawsworn, at first glance I thought they were statues of the Primus. Green eyes on the statues but blue/white eyes on the chains; power of the Primus vs Jailer?

Runecarver says: One of his, are you? No. Not is. Something... else.
Runecarver says: A mortal? No. Yes... A mortal walks the Maw, all the way to my prison. To save me? Hmm. To use me?
Runecarver says: I was used by him. The Jailer, they call him. Used to make... to make... Hmm. My memories. Did you take them? No. He took them.
Runecarver says: Used me for his purpose. Then left me here. Bereft of memory for... how long? It matters not. Time, after all, is not a construct of Death.
Runecarver says: Maw Walker. You come. You go. To free me? Perhaps. To aid me? Yes. To aid me, as I aid you. Fate, you see, has bound us.

Description
Who... who are you? Have you come to extract more of my memories? I'm afraid there aren't any useful ones left, save for the memories of my imprisonment. Or perhaps you're here for something else?

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Prison of the Forgotten
I discovered an interesting item off the Warden you killed in the tower. Best not to ask how I know what you do and where you do it within the tower. Let's just say, I have my ways. But this key could lead to something interesting within Torghast. Or something horrible. Most likely horrible.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Reawakening
If you can retrieve my memories, I can help you. At least I believe I can. Then, perhaps, we can help each other.
