I find it inconsistent for the Fentor of _TLoCB_ to be identified with
the F of _Jhereg_, because the latter (a Tsalmoth [_J_ pg 139], who had
"been with M's security forces for over fifty years) is too subservient.
That  or I completely don't understand Dragaeran society.  After playing
an important role in the most important events in living memory, I'm sure
F_tlocb would be a duke with a personal army.  So I think you've just
presented evidence that I should have had more faith in SKZB, because
F_tlocb (aka F e'Mondaar) is in fact a Dragon and hence is not F_j.
