Oh, well I remember the leader, and I was talking to him, and I wound up choosing an option that forced a fight since the alternative seemed to be some sort of dark side coercion where he would give me money, and I am doing a light side playthrough. So I killed him, but I'm not really sure if this is what caused the issue since the _only_ character I am having issue with is Handmaiden, and there would have been 2 characters in my party during that fight.
