Uhm, what's new about that? He's a kobold, people are worse than that against him. Besides he wouldn't know and Keveak hasn't joined the resistance yet at this point (technically Goldunscael's kobolds are neutral in this until one of the sides threaten them, then they are against that side, and Keveak is that too until he leaves the island after more than a decade after FFF)
EDIT:
At this time the UNA aren't the sponsors of the TJH crew yet, Chang is. (he was speaking with Dewey about something like it but to my knowledge they don't control them yet)
