Wait, that rascal trader-thief was the psycho guy that Gaal saw in her visions? I thought that was what they said at first, but given the massive probably difference I then assumed I was wrong.
Edit: nevermind. I was getting him mixed up with the Mule, which he definitely isn't.
The way I understand the first and second foundation, the first is the primary one that has Empire's focus and starts the process, then when it gets corrupted it gets replaced by the second one.
I'm not sure I even understand who Mule is. Is Mallow not the guy that supposedly overthrows the Empire and everything else? If not then I have no idea what they even want Mallow for or how his name came up in Hari Seldon's psychohistory math thing.
