“

He'll clean up the city in no time. Got more backbone in his little finger than Ravengard has in his entire body.

— Dresten (from the cut-out dialogue)

Involvement

Dresten is standing watch in the Mess Hall inside the fortress, accompanied by a single  Steel Watcher. If spoken to, he allows the party to mind their own business - in due limits.

There is also a cut-out dialogue with Dresten that supposedly would have been enacted if the party bypassed the conversation with  Enver Gortash via the Steel Watcher (one occurring straight after entering the fortress). Throughout it, the automaton accompanying Dresten joins the dialogue and acts first mildly hostile to the player character, but then changes its attitude abruptly and invites them upstairs "to make acquaintance to Lord Gortash" (of which the Fist is quite surprised). In this case, Dresten also informs the player character about the ceremony upheld in the Audience Hall and compares Gortash against  Ulder Ravengard, clearly not in favor of the latter.
