How do i intimidate dorian in solitude

I've got a miscellaneous quest that says "Go to Dorian in Solitude and pick up the item". I don't remember where I got it from; I've had it for ages. When I talk to him, he only says "you shouldn't be here". Any idea what this is from, or tips to complete it?

Dorian would not talk to me inside the ship, and would not converse more than to repeat " you're not supposed to be in here. To get him outside I started a fight inside then went out the door. He stated "We also got a letter about someone needing some muscle right here in Whiterun.

Not sure if this is a bug in my own game caused by some mods or it's consistent, but I got Commander Maro as a target for this quest, and when I go talk to him, no options appear.

The only thing I get is the line about telling the emperor how cool I am. I knew him already because I had done the mission in which you kill everyone in the Dark Brotherhood. I tried to talk to him but could not. He just kept talking about how he would tell the emperor himself what I had done.

I hit him a few times and ran out of his courters which he never leaves and I ran far down the rode. I then fast traveled back to Dragon Bridge and saw that my companion was still attacking him. He fell from my companions blow which I then relized is that I got a bounty on me from himd being hit to the ground. But the bounty was for Maro's Crime Faction, I believe, which stumped me I had no way of paying them back since there aren't any guards around that are his.

I tried a few different things but to no avail they all failed. I am currently playing on an Xbox If anyone could help me I would be very thankful. Notes section of the page says "There is a silent Intimidate check against the target as part of the quest's startup conditions. If it succeeds, you won't get the quest. If so what level do you need to start the quest? I tried using the sqv console command but I don't think it's mentioned in the quest variables for whatever reason. I only got that quest once in over seven years of playing, to beat up Jervar of Whiterun.

But wouldn't I be able to receive people in Falkreath Hold as victims right off the bat? The other Companion quest pages say similarly. DO they give you jobs only in Whiterun?
