TheWoWDBI think this is a subtle reference to the movie "Trading Places". The two rich men's names in that film were Randolf and Mortimer.

Description
Look, I'd love to give the order and have my men blast these rebels to bits right now, but I can't because the entire Stockade is under Warden Thelwater's jurisdiction, and he only wants to contain them right now. Rather than disobey orders, we're going to take care of this in a slightly different manner! We've managed to befriend Mortimer Moloch, who just so happens to be the ruthless rebel leader Randolph Moloch's twin. Kill Randolph, and we'll switch 'em so Mortimer can stop the rebellion peacefully!
Getting there
Inside the dungeon: The Stockade
Stormwind Stockade is a closely guarded prison built beneath the canals of Stormwind City. Warden Thelwater keeps watch over the stockade and the highly dangerous criminals who call it home. Recently, the inmates revolted, overthrowing their guards and plunging the prison into a state of pandemonium.
Bosses in the Adventure Guide, in order: Hogger, Lord Overheat, Randolph Moloch.
Entrance: Lion's Rest, Stormwind City at 50.3, 66.1.
Instance text, bosses and entrances are the client’s Adventure Guide data.

"Yes, Mortimer just faked his own death. He'll probably take on his brother's name and continue on his 'epic schemes'. We'll just have to deal with that when the time comes."
One of the few occasions where a quest actually explains why a boss respawns the next time you enter it after a reset. Clever detail.
