Vindicator Kuros will not offer you this quest unless you first pick up Gaelan's Journal:
http://www.wowhead.com/?object=182032The journal spawns the "Galaen's Journal - The Fate of Vindicator Saruan" quest:
http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=9706Once you pick up the journal and turn in the quest to Vindicator Kuros, he will offer you the Matis quest.
What your looking for is a blood elf on a horse. Once you find him, inch up to him slowly then use the flare gun. A hunter will appear, let him get aggro then help him fight.

Matis will be brought to justice, {name}; and I want you to be the one to find him and bring him back to the Triumvirate. Scour the island for this killer. Should you find him, use this flare gun. When my trackers see the flare, they'll come and assist in capturing Matis. Return to me after he's been captured.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Galaen's Journal - The Fate of Vindicator Saruan
Your hands tremble as you pick up the book. Kuros must be told about this tragedy. Return the book to him.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Don't Drink the Water
Our shaman claim that the elements of water have become greatly agitated by the pollution of the water source. We know that the Exodar's power core is lodged into the mountain to the west. It must be leaking volatile fluids into the water supply! I need you to get me more information.
