Torpeth

Torpeth was a male Exoi and a Governing Judge of the Exoi Kritocracy. He was famous among his fellow Exoi as a strict legalist with great knowledge of the complexities of the law and its numerous precedents.

He was present when Corr Shaasa sought to have the Governing Judges dissolve their government and join the Golden Empire. He felt the Judges did not have the power to do so. When Corr drew to light Acolyte Jepth's desire to keep the Exoi God-King from the people, Torpeth became suspicious, and agreed to accompany Rin Sakaros and her party to the Temple of Incarnate Glory with a measure of resignation.

When Rin exposed the deceptions of the Acolytes, who had covertly kept the basically brain-dead Chohwelk VII alive artificially and ruled secretly in his name, Torpeth was disgusted by the entire deceitful episode. He suspected Rin intended to kill off the Governing Judges after she killed Chohwelk and Tarzg Sav'lir slew the Most Devoted One, but Rin spared them to let them determine the Kritocracy's fate.

Torpeth voted with those wishing to dissolve the Kritocracy and pledge its worlds to the Empire.
