I went to complete the Windspear Hills quest today, and I think I've found something new about what Firkraag does.
When I started to fight him, Firkraag would immediately use 'Red Dragon Breath' on Yoshimo. My PC character was standing right next to Yoshimo, so they both ended up dying, causing me to reload.
I fight him again, and once again, Firkraag uses 'Red Dragon Breath' on Yoshimo, this time wiping out 3 members of my party, including my PC. So I went to reload again.
Well, guess what??? The same exact thing happened 2 more times in a row. I just did it a few more times to see if it would always be like this. So the 5th time, I placed my PC away from Yoshimo before I initiated combat just to see if it would help out, but no. I tried this twice, and Yoshimo was targeted both times. So, so far, 6 fights with Big F, and 6 'Red Dragon Breaths' targeted on Yoshimo.
The 7th time I tried, I put Yoshimo as far away as Firkraag as possible. I put him at the top of the steps, and initiated battle with Firkraaf in the far south side of the area. But once again, Yoshimo was targeted by 'Red Dragon Breath.' Still no good.
The 8th and last time I tried, Yoshimo was targeted again, but this time, even though he was killed, he was not killed beyond ressurection. So I just finished the battle with Firkraag, and then I ressurected Yoshimo after the battle was over.
Now, this was the first time I've fought Firkraag with Yoshimo in my group, so I've never would have realized if I've had this before. I've killed Firkraag with many different parties, but this is the first time I've ever encountered something like this. So I got a (silly) idea that maybe Yoshimo had an item on him that causes Firkraag to target him. But Yoshimo didn't have much on him, he had:
Boots of Stealth
Ring of Danger Stealth
Mercy Killer Ring
Celestial Fury
Short Bow +2
Shadow Armor
Shield Amulet
Rogue Stone
Some healing potions and potions of regeneration.

So this didn't make sense either. And besides, it wouldn't make sense either to have Firkraag single out Yoshimo for some equipment. Has anyone every encountered something like this before? It seems extremely strange to me...

Never cam across that one. Have you tried just hiding Yoshi in Shadows or other invisibilities?

Possibly Firkragg with his 'almighty' knowledge and great age knows about Yoshimo's pact with Jon Irenicus thus 'subtly' hinting to you that you have a less than loyal member in your party?

Me neither. Maybe Firky wants to have a real BBQ...with Yoshimo.

Is Yshimo wearing the shadow scale armor from the shadow dragon? If so, dragons do not like seeing brothers skins on someone else

Brothers?? Hardly. The difference between a shadow dragon and a red dragon is about as big as the difference between an elf and an orc.

In the portrait order at the right, did you switch Yoshimo around so that he's at the top of it?

He's wearing Shadow Armor, not shadow scale armor. I think I got it from the Adventurer's Mart in WK.
Faceman, I accidentally left it out; In my 7th attempt, I hid Yoshimo in the shadows and then put him on the steps, as far away from Firkraag as possible.
Grammer, Yoshimo is the second to last from the top.

Dragons would not be angry if they see another's scales on someone, they'd jsut think, he's dangerous, lets slay him before he means harm.
