When we were writing this, we looked at the early years of Alexander and Napoleon Bonaparte, – Argrath’s manic activities seem pretty reasonable in comparison!

But Argrath has the farthest to travel in order to become a peer of the likes of the Red Emperor, Gunda the Guilty, Beat-Pot, or Sir Ethilirist.

Pretty good going from a kid on the Starfire Ridge to becoming one of these four chits!
