Arfathwo

"Look upon the empty seats where our forefathers sat! Look at the pitiful shreds of the Kritocracy Navy that remain to us! If the God-King is praying on our behalf, we must ask him to pray harder."

- Arfathwo criticizes the protestations of Governing Judge Osrikkar

Arfathwo was a male Exoi, among the last Governing Judges of the Exoi Kritocracy.

He was among the most vocally supportive of the Kritocracy dissolving itself and its worlds joining the Golden Empire, arguing that the Governing Judges would serve Salbin more faithfully by dissolving the Kritocracy to share their faith with the Empire's worlds. When Rin Sakaros announced her intention to speak to the Exoi God-King personally at the Temple of Incarnate Glory, Arfathwo was among those least concerned by the idea, and he accompanied her there.

Faced with the threats of the Most Devoted One, Arfathwo nearly lost heart, but pressed on when Rin forced her way through. He was horrified to discover that the Acolytes of the God-King had been keeping Chohwelk VII alive artificially and secretly issuing commands in his name, and had no objection to Rin euthanizing the God-King and killing off the treacherous Acolytes; indeed, it was Arfathwo who told her which Acolytes would have known about the deception.

In the wake of the revelations, Arfathwo voted to dissolve the Kritocracy, and personally pledged his world to Rin.
