After you complete the 3rd part of the chain, "Curse of the Violet Tower," you can start the "Malevolent Remnants ( http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=10184 )," chain which leads to some really good rare items: http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=10320
I'm pretty sure it's she, what with the breasts and all that, unless Blizzard has introduced a trans gender class to World of Warcraft =P

Description
Allow me to introduce myself, {class}. I am Ravandwyr, apprentice to the Archmage Vargoth. My master is... indisposed, shall we say. I am here on a matter of great importance. The Arklon Ruins southeast of the city are a hotbed of Burning Legion activity. Their purpose in the ruins concerns neither me nor my master, but their leader, Ekkorash, possesses the archmage's staff. This conjuring powder will allow you to draw the demon out of hiding. Sprinkle it on the brazier at the center of the ruins.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Back to the Chief!
I'm certain that the rocket-chief is going to want to have a word or two with you! If I were you, I wouldn't hesitate to get back to Area 52 and speak with him!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Rebuilding the Staff
<Ravandwyr inspects the staff, noting that part of the headpiece seems to be missing.> Simply barbaric! Ekkorash must've taken the staff's crystalline headpiece for use in some other trinket, not realizing that it works in concert with the rest of the staff.
