After finding the Note to Arathel, you have the choice of bringing it to the Divine Prosecution or you can follow the instructions and meet with Edgar at the inn:

"I know it doesn't look like it, but I'm working. So … jog on."
No. I found a dead drop containing this note. It instructed me to meet someone here.
"It didn't instruct you to do anything. That note was meant for someone else. Of course, you already know that.
So, should I reach for my knife, or are we going to make nice?"
I'm looking for a High Elf called Arathel. His mother asked me to help find him.
"Huh. So Talerion and his lackeys haven't found him either, eh? Color me surprised. I tried to help the kid, but if he didn't even find my note … He's in worse trouble than I thought.
You carry yourself well. Maybe Mother can use you."
Mother?
"Yeah. The Mother of Rats is our matriarch. She shelters us outcasts and misfits. Loves us, even … in her way. If you aim to help Arathel, she'll want to meet you first.
There's an entrance to the sewers down by the docks. Just follow the rats."
Who are you anyway?
"Name's Edgar Jend. Professional misfit, ne'er-do-well, and sometimes hatchet-man. Mother sends me out to collect lost things—and people.
I've got to tell you, this whole Arathel thing … it's giving me indigestion. I have a delicate constitution."
Why are you even looking for Arathel?
"Ah-ah. That's a question for Mother. Speaking of which, you should be on your way."

If you try to speak to him again, he'll just dismiss you:

"So, I think we're done here. Right? Right."

Towards the end of the quest, after you've escorted Arathel to Mother's Den, you'll overhear him ward off Talerion:

Talerion: "Hold there, Arathel! By order of the Divine Prosecution!"
Edgar Jend: "Easy, guardsman. This boy is under our protection."
Mother of Rats: "All of you, quiet! Have a word with our mutual friend, Talerion … if you want the truth, that is."

If you speak to Jend, he'll warn:

"Better get rid of that Talerion quick. My knife-hand's getting twitchy."

After speaking to Talerion, he'll encourage you to talk to mother first:

"Best talk to Mother. She'll sort this all out, no question."

After the quest he'll thank you for your help in the matter:

"Thanks for the help, friend. Eight only know what those long-leg guards would have done if Arathel killed the Sapiarch. You're always welcome down here, all right?"
