Curiously, King Moggle Mog also seemed not to temper anyone, even his summoners. I caveat this because with Moogles, it's honestly difficult to tell.

But after the initial summoning and defeat, the Mogglesguard didn't receive any consequences other than being scolded by Kuplo Kopp, which made them angry enough to summon King Moggle Mog again. Notably even the Serpent representative who gives the quest for Thornmarch Extreme didn't say anything about the possibility of the Mogglesguard being tempered, but just that Kuplo's scolding had the opposite effect.

And yes, given the apparent contradiction in motives between the Goblin Illuminati and Alexander, I don't think Alexander tempered the Goblins either.
