Any ideas?

You know, Corvhale's boss, who his dwarf buddy warned him not to offend. Who is he?

Corvhale? That's one of the two goons that picks a fight with you in front of the Copper Coronet. Right? Well I don't think "Mr. F" is anybody of importance, it could be just thrown in there to make the game more realistic.

Ok I just had a thought, could Mr. F be Firkraag, and they are working for him? I mean they are right in front of the Copper Coronet where you first meet Firkraag...

The smell of speculation is in the air.

Wow, I never thought of that. They could be Jierdan's goons, testing to see how well Gorion's ward fared against two minor lackeys in battle.

A good guess... and probably the only answer :) I guess that's why they met you coming out of the coronet as well.
