Love the name of this NPC as its a reference to an ancient greek belief.

The ancient Greeks had two words for time, chronos and kairos. While the former refers to chronological or sequential time, the latter signifies a time between, a moment of indeterminate time in which something special happens. What the special something is depends on who is using the word. While chronos is quantitative, kairos has a qualitative nature.

It fits quite nicely with the island in which this NPC shows up, as the regular time (Chronos) is permanently frozen, while the qualitative time (kairos) is in constant motion, and great special events will take place in it, including the pet tournament, the celestial trials, the etching of the legendary cloak and so much more.

All, in the island were time stands still.

For reference, Kairoz is his pseudonym in the form of a high elf. Much like Korialstrasz called himself Krasus, or Chronormu calls herself Chromie. Kairoz's real name is likely Kairodormu or something along those lines.

This member of the Bronze dragonflight, found at the Celestial Court on the Timeless Isle, is part of a quest chain that takes place here and he also offers quests to venture into the new raid- the Siege of Orgrimmar.

Lead-up quests before you encounter him:
A Flash of Bronze...
Journey to the Timeless Isle
Time Keeper Kairoz

Quests he offers as part of the chain:
A Timeless Tour/Time In Your Hands
The Essence of Time
He then offers optional side quests, one leading to Emperor Shaohao, and the others relating to events/killing rares (also elite).
Empowering the Hourglass (weekly version)

He will then begin the Siege of Orgrimmar section of the chain, requiring extensive use of the Vision der Zeit :
A Vision in Time
Refining the Vision
Seeking Fate
Hidden Threads
Courting Destiny
One Final Turn

And after the first day of Blizzcon 2013, Kairoz's interest in the Isle, and the construction of the Vision of Time, and even the significance of his name, suddenly all make sense...

During Blizzcon today, Tom Chilton accidentally let it slip that Kairoz is the one who helps Garrosh go back in time to Draenor.

Update as of April 25, following an early release of the novel War Crimes:
While Kairoz does free Garrosh, it's actually all a part of Wrathion's plan. Kairoz is working with him.

On an interesting/uninteresting side-note, you cannot walk through him.

The name of this NPC is not a reference to the city of Cairo (spelled Kairo in several languages) but to the Greek word kairos (καιρός) as Rankkor points out below.

The ancient Greeks had two words for time - chronos and kairos. Whereas chronos represents a cohesive and linear timeline, kairos on the other hand refers to the very moment when something (to a varying degree) of significance occurs, like for example a historic event. Our timeline consists of an infinite chain of kairoí, both important and less important series of events, interspaced with pockets of time when nothing in particular takes place.

Kairoz is voiced by Michael Bell, who also voiced Medivh in Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos. Both characters had likewise attempted to use the Dark Portal and harness the Horde of Draenor to invade Azeroth.

Anyone able to enlighten me on his tmog set by chance?

It is my prediction (even without seeing anything reported from Blizzcon) that this NPC is the one directly responsible for Garrosh's escape into time. My tip off was his strange interest in the Seige of Orgrimmar and the fact he seems to want stones to power some kind of hourglass. Since he also sounds similar to a previous voice actor for Medivh this could very well be the latest incarnation of the Sargeras/Medivh character.

Some lore about Kairoz from Christie Golden's new novel, "War Crimes":

She reveals that Kairozdormu was the advisor to Baine, who acted as Garrosh's defender on the Horde side.
Kairoz, along Chromie (acts as advisor to Tyrande as the accuser on Alliance side) use the Vision of Time as a tool to present Garrosh's atrocities as they truly transpired to August Celestials, who acted as jury.
It creates a one-way rift in time and only sight and sound may pass through.

So, this plotting dragon contacts Zaela (she's not dead) and grants her some of the infinite dragoflight as mounts; he is also in cahoots with the Black Prince, who captures and ties Chromie up, with help of Left and Right.
When the trial nears its end, Zaela flies and attacks the temple of the white tiger with her clan (that's where the trial was held), and Kairoz, smiling, drops the artifact, which sends him and Garrosh to past Draenor, along with bringing some alternate versions of Horde and Alliance leaders.

And to think we were helping both of them!

The novel had no mention of Kairoz inside SoO raid, or him killing Nozdormu's mate.

He gets killed in the "Hellscream" short story and his corpse can be found in the Time-Lost Glade in Nagrand.
