Arclo
also known as Arclo
A Sleepless swarm the others now consider a traitor; meddles more and more with the new Knights Radiant, and is held responsible by the First for the ghost ship being found at all instead of going quietly to the bottom. SA:DS:Ch 5
The old immigrant-quarter philosopher of Yeddaw — the one Nin's Skybreakers mistook for a Lightweaver and went hunting. He is in truth one of the Sleepless: a man-shape sewn together by interlocking cremlings beneath a black Tashikki shiqua. He sits and talks for anyone who will listen, observing the people he calls *the assassin, the surgeon, the liar, the highprince* — and now Lift, whom he names as the most interesting of the lot. He invokes the old name Axies and tells her to mention his to any Sleepless she may meet. SA:ED:Ch 18 superseded at SA:DS:Ch 5
Known facts
- killed-darknesss-two-apprenticesArclo is the one who killed Nin's two journeyman Skybreakers in the alley behind Tashi's Light Orphanage. He calls it self-defence and then concedes that's a lie — they could not have killed him — but they came asking for a contest in not so many words and he obliged. Lift finds their bodies in the dark, the braided woman sightless on the ground and the man roped to a shanty wall, the corpses crawling with the small cremlings that compose him.SA:ED:Ch 18
Events
- SA:ED:Ch 18 Found in the dark alley behind Tashi's Light Orphanage — a man-shape patched together by countless skin-backed cremlings working from inside, missing chunks of flesh as he dresses himself out of his own swarm and lectures Lift on the Sleepless, the Omnithi, and what Knights Radiant are for. Confesses to killing Darkness's apprentices, refuses to name the man the Herald is now hunting, and gives her his name and a hint anyway.
