I suspect it's the same Fentor, but given Fe'M's prominent role in the Nth Battle of Dzur Mountain etc., and his rank of, well, whatever it was, it's hard to see him being at Castle Black instead of ruling some barony awarded for service to the Orb; being asked to work under an Eastern Jhereg, and being as subservient as he is towards Vlad. And if it is the same Fentor, Vlad sort of ought to know that the Nth Battle was more than 50 years in the past... > Now, we know Vlad is not the foremost expert on House identification (see > the Lady Daro, a Tiassa who Vlad mistakes for a Lyorn), so who knows.

Has Vlad ever seen Daro, for that matter? Does he know she's married to Khaavren?
