No. Its not in the betrayal quests. There are two parallel quest series 
for Ghoulbane, specifically the quest named Gogas Afadin. Basically, in 
the evil quest line you get sent to Havras "Hack" Scutter, to continue 
the quest line, who then sends you on to do something else. But, if you 
are good, Havras **will not** show as a responder to this quest (worse, 
having finished the good version doesn't prevent you getting the evil 
one either). However, some muck up in the internals of Havras' script 
prevents him from responding to "any other" quests, while you have 
Gogas' quest to talk to him in your quest list.
