"Arqua and his wife were pretty even-handed in their dealings. Arqua got out of the hijacking business and into the middleman, ah, recovery business quite awhile back. House Cordonah had the best record for getting hostages back alive of any of the Houses that dabble in that commerce. Reliable, in their own special way. They were just as happy to sell Barrayaran information to Cetaganda as Cetagandan information to ImpSec, but if the data the Cetas received was as solid as was what we did, they should have been satisfied customers. And the Cordonahs were willing to return favors, both above and below the table." ―Captain Morozov, ImpSec-Galactic Affairs expert for Jackson's Whole, on the role played by House Cordonah Tej also stated that her parents and Baron Fell found each other useful, although there was never any question of an alliance or a permanent merger.
