Argit

Argit is a con-man and a longtime friend of Kevin Levin, and a recurring character in the franchise.
==Appearance==
Argit looks like a giant humanoid porcupine/opossum. His height comes up to Ben's chest and he has big yellow eyes and black quills for hair.
In Alien Force and Ultimate Alien, he wore a black T-shirt with an orange/brown jacket and blue jeans.
In Omniverse, Argit wears an orange, zipped up jacket with yellow accents, as well as orange and yellow pants. Inside the jacket he wears an off-white/pale yellow t-shirt. He also has longer ears and shorter hair, and wears piercings on his ears. The skin surrounding his eyes is changed to purple.
Young Argit looks exactly the same as in Omniverse except he is shorter, has longer ears, longer hair, a shorter snout, a longer tail, and wears an orange jacket with fewer yellow accents. His jacket hides his mouth.
===Occasional Appearances===
In the past, Argit wore an orange cloak over his jacket.
In Omniverse, underneath his jacket, he wears a white shirt with orange sections and a square shape.
If Argit has ejected all of his quills and fur, his bare body is shown to be pink, and resembles a naked mole rat.

==Personality==
Argit is self-absorbed and doesn't care about anyone but himself and money. He is more than willing to betray people even if they trust him, and he will do anything to secure his wealth, safety, power, etc.
Argit's greedy and cowardly nature leads him to be highly sadistic and sociopathic;Andreas' Fault he shamelessly took advantage of Andreas' innocence, and when he apparently died, Argit shows no sorrow for him, even after Kevin angrily scolded him for going too far. This scolding prompted him to coldly say "Sometimes, I just don't get you, Kevin!", therefore proving that Argit shows no empathy to anyone. He even doesn't care for his own family and relatives, as he apparently once sold his own mother for money.
Starting from The Frogs of War: Part 2, however, Argit seems to have truly changed his personality after he became somewhat of a heroic figure. The aliens in Undertown see him as an idol, hero and protector. He likes the new situation and the feeling of being loved, and as such, he is gradually abandoning his sociopathic tendencies and becoming a much better individual, showing genuine concern over Kevin and is a better friend.Weapon XI: Part 1Weapon XI: Part 2

==History==
===Background===
Proctor Servantis used Argit's DNA to make Pierce Wheels a hybrid, in a flashback in The Rooters of All Evil.
Argit appeared in a flashback in Weapon XI: Part 2 where he first met Kevin Levin when he gave a caged young Argit a leaf to eat and told Argit that he was going back to Earth and save it and intended to take down Ben. Argit was watching secretly and discovered that Kevin was the key to the Rooters and the Amalgam's powers as Kevin and the others drove into Earth.
On Earth, Argit was discovered by Kevin, and Kevin threatened him to start running. Argit escaped and observed Ben Tennyson, Gwen Tennyson, and Max Tennyson eventually arrive in the Rustbucket 2. Ben exited from the Rustbucket due to wanting to fight Kevin. Kevin then used a blaster in order to shoot at Ben, who managed to avoid the shot through running over to a tree stump and hiding behind it, and Max saved Gwen from Pierce's attacks. Helen took the ray gun from Max but Gwen tripped her up with a spell.
Ben transformed into Eye Guy and blasted down Kevin. Eye Guy pinned him down. Kevin touched the Omnitrix and Argit watched as Kevin mutated. Argit became afraid and continued watching as Kevin started to blast at everyone, including the Amalgam Kids, and said that he is the hero. Ben said that Kevin was going to become insane, and Kevin responded by saying that Ben was the problem. Ben transformed into XLR8 and started to speed around but Kevin used Wildvine to trap everyone.
Kevin said that everyone else was the problem and prepared to take them down by eating a rock (mostly attempting to use Upchuck's powers). Gwen blasted at Kevin, trying to snap him out of it, but the attacks did nothing. Argit used his quills to knock Kevin out and Kevin transformed back to normal. As Gwen looked over Kevin, smoke filled the area. Kevin and the Amalgams took Argit and returned to the Null Void. Then, Servantis wiped everyone's memories (including Argit's) due to the plan being a failure before setting them loose in the Null Void.
Argit appeared in OTTO Motives in a flashback with Kevin. They were shown working with Otto to build a device to send them out of the Null Void. However, Otto left them behind, and the machine was destroyed.
Ultimately, Argit and Kevin got out of the Null Void at the same time. A few years later, they traveled to Khoros in order to get an indestructible engine for Kevin's car which he obtained by beating Looma Red Wind.
===Alien Force===
Argit first appeared in the episode Kevin's Big Score in an alleyway, blasting and eating rats. After being tracked down by Kevin (who was looking for a Holo-Viewer containing a message from Max Tennyson). Argit was offered a deal where, if he used his "connections" to help him find it, Kevin would provide him with a cache of Plumber tech (Max's RV). Kevin then stole the RV from Ben and Gwen, but was double-crossed by Argit, who changed their deal by stealing the RV from Kevin. Ben, Gwen, and Kevin later tracked him down, only to discover he had already sold most of the Plumber tech (disassembling the RV in the process). He had a brief skirmish with Kevin, Gwen, and Echo Echo. He was defeated by Echo Echo, and had his spikes glued to his head after coming to. He was then forced to provide information about where the disc could be located (which turned out to be in the hands of Kevin's ex-partner, Vulkanus).
In Simple, while aiding Ben to stop a war on another planet, Kevin discovered Argit was selling weapons to both factions partaking in the war by stealing abandoned/discarded rifles from both sides and repainting them to be used on the other side without being known (making him an arms dealer). Kevin, however, decided not to inform Ben or Gwen. Instead, he decided on joining Argit in his scheme for a cut of the profit. This ended up undermining Ben's various attempts at getting the two sides to form a peace treaty.
When the day of the war came, Ben turned into Way Big and went in between the two armies. He talked them into not fighting, but Way Big accidentally knocked down the statue of their sage Zavin and the two commanders banded together to declare war on Ben instead. Before leaving the planet, Kevin was given his share of the profits by Argit, with both of them parting on (seemingly) good terms. Ben, Gwen, and Kevin were forced to retreat and leave the two sides to their own devices. Kevin, however, was forced to leave his loot behind in order to board Ship (leaving both Gwen and Ben in the dark about his and Argit's actions).
In Con of Rath, Argit encountered Kevin, Gwen, and Rath at a cafe inside a space station and friendly greeted Kevin and Gwen. Kevin told him they were on a mission to deliver the Prince of Lewoda to King Jarett of the Pantophage, in order to keep peace between the Lewodans and the Pantophage. Gwen revealed she did not trust Argit and tried to convince Kevin that he is not his friend, claiming he would "sell his own mother for lunch money".
Argit later proved Gwen right when he sold them out to the Vreedle Brothers, providing the Vreedles with the information about the Prince as a way to pay off debts he owed to them. Argit later participated in a Western-style, large scale bar fight over the Prince; being bribed by the Vreedles to help them get the Prince, along with the other patrons. This resulted in Argit being knocked out of commission by Rath and collapsing on the ground just as they were leaving.
===Ultimate Alien===
Argit reappeared in Andreas' Fault, and became the Forever King of a group of the Forever Knights in exchange for not having Andreas destroy their bases. Argit had first found Andreas after he and the other four aliens had crash-landed on Earth, where Argit helped and developed a good "friendship" with him, but when a high-ranking Forever Knights special agent named Sir Dagonet showed up, Argit tried to sell Andreas out only to be locked away to be "inquisitioned" alongside Ben, Gwen, and Kevin after they kill Andreas. After Andreas seemingly died trying to save them from an unstable weapon, Kevin finally broke off his one-sided friendship with Argit, and chewed him off about how badly he had treated Andreas that lead to his alleged death (although Andreas didn't die, he was still severely injured, and Aggregor had little problem capturing him when he found him).
Argit made another appearance in The Enemy of My Enemy once again helping the Vreedle Brothers, who now wanted to be Plumbers and were in the Plumbers' Academy. Their father asked Argit to change the Vreedles' test scores in order for them to pass, but while he worked on this mission, Ultimate Kevin was after him and wanted to kill him. Gwen and Ben were able to save Argit. However, in the end, due to 14 warrants out for his arrest and the assault of two of his cadets who were also Plumbers, Argit was ultimately arrested by the order of Magister Coronach and was seized by the now good Vreedle Brothers.
In Greetings From Techadon, after having escaped custody off-screen, Argit told Vulkanus to go check if his Techadon custom job plan worked, stating that he would rather see Ben die than having a pre-celebration at the bar; not knowing if Ben was dead or not. As Vulkanus left, it was revealed that he has been hired by Gwen to find a method to bring Vulkanus to Earth and was handsomely paid for his efforts upon completion.
In The Purge, Argit warned Ben, Gwen, and Kevin that the Forever Knights were targeting the aliens living on Earth. As the four of them investigated King Patrick's castle, he tried to take ancient medieval-era treasures, only to encounter another mechanical dragon. He disappeared and, after the dragon is defeated, reappeared wearing Forever Knight armor and wielding a sword irately asking them "Can we go now?". Later on, at Baumann's Store, he discovered that the Forever Knights were planning on attacking the store as it was the largest gathering for aliens living in Bellwood, prompting him to leave and fend for himself.
===Omniverse===
Argit returned in Omniverse in So Long, and Thanks for All the Smoothies, where he stole the Annihilarrgh for one of the Incurseans. However, he was double-crossed and forced to not only face his former employee, but Ben, Rook, and the Vreedle Brothers. The Vreedles later freed him from a closet he accidentally locked himself in, in exchange for the Annihilarrgh. Argit was destroyed along with everything else except Alien X when the device went off. However, he, along with all of the universe, was brought back thanks to Ben. He was later forced to have smoothies with Ben and Rook, not believing Ben's story that he was a copy of his original self.
Argit appeared in Many Happy Returns, where he was getting strangled by Princess Looma for information on Kevin's whereabouts. It turned out that he and Kevin were looking for an indestructible engine for Kevin's car after they got out of the Null Void; Kevin beat Looma to get it, but refused to marry her, leading her trying to find him for the next 3 years. He tried to warn Ben about what would happen if he beat Princess Looma, but Kevin kept him quiet to end her constant trying to marry him. Oddly, this was the first time he has helped Ben without being bribed or threatened.
Argit then appeared in The Frogs of War: Part 2, and was among the resistance fighters, but it was revealed that he secretly made a deal with Attea and sold out Ben's team to the Incurseans, but Attea went back on their deal and locked him up in Plumber HQ after Ben's team took off. He was set free by Blukic escaping outside, only to be met with a Way Bad. In a panic, he let loose a flurry of needles all over his body into the To'kustar's lower leg, taking it down. Left naked and being filmed on camera, albeit hailed as a hero by a fireman, he asked for a pair of pants.
Argit appeared in The Ultimate Heist to help Albedo, who was posing as Ben, and Rook, but later he defeated Albedo with his quills before Khyber took Albedo to his ship. He was also shown to have used his newfound "hero" status to his advantage, setting up a business with Solid Plugg and Fistina as his "muscle."
In OTTO Motives, Argit and Kevin found Otto at the Khoros Auto Show and were able to deal some payback by stopping him from stealing four extremely valuable cars.
Three days before the events of Cough It Up, Argit stole a Dehydrated Techadon Army Cube. It was revealed that this item is really important for Psyphon, so he sent bounty hunters after Argit. Psyphon told the hunters and Spanner that the guards of the item were poisoned by quills. Spanner told Ben and Rook to meet Argit at his office. Shortly after they arrived, Kraab got into his office and told Argit to give him the weapon. Fortunately, Ben defeated Kraab as Frankenstrike, so they were able to escape using one of the emergency exits before the other hunters would arrive.
They hid in an abandoned storage room, but the Sotoraggian trio found them. Spanner and Buzzshock tried to protect Argit, but SevenSeven was able to take him. In the Black Hole, Psyphon told Argit to give the weapon to him immediately. Argit threatened them by saying that, if they didn't let him go, he would swallow the weapon. Psyphon thought he was bluffing, so he sent his men on him. Since Argit swallowed the army, it no longer remained dehydrated and started to grow inside of Argit's stomach. He then started to cough up cubes which transformed into Techadon robots. Ben got the factory out by transforming into Toepick and caused Argit to vomit out the factory along with other objects he has eaten. He commanded them to catch Psyphon and the bounty hunters, sending them out of Undertown. Thanks to this, the citizens of Undertown worshipped and loved Argit, which he enjoyed. He then said that perhaps he should run for mayor. 
In The Rooters of All Evil, Argit was seen working in his office. Suddenly, Kevin appeared with Zed. He projected a red energy from his fingers and blasted Argit with it. The shock made Argit remember everything about the Rooters. He, Kevin and Zed left Undertown and started to warn the Plumbers' Helpers about the upcoming danger.
In Weapon XI: Part 1, Argit and Kevin went to warn the other Amalgam Kids about the Rooters' intensions, and gave them their memories back. They attempted to warn Alan before they were attacked by Swift. After Kevin entered the Null Void, Argit was confronted by Ben, Gwen, and Rook, who forced him to join him in following Kevin. During the battle against the Rooters, Argit hid. He later escaped with the others when Kevin turned against them.
In Weapon XI: Part 2, Argit led Ben and the others to one of his old hiding places and told him the story of how the Rooters put together a "Ben hit squad" five years prior, and erased all their memories when they failed. When the group attacked the Rooters' headquarters, Argit crawled through the vent, and ended up in the same room as Phil. When Phil transformed into a Terroranchula, Argit became scared, firing all the quills on his head at him, putting him to sleep.
In The Color of Monkey, Argit set up a security company, Argistix, with Simian as an employee. He attempted to illegally transport a Tiffin, but was double-crossed by Simian, who sent Rojo to steal it. After Rojo was defeated, Argit knocked out Simian, preventing him from ratting him out to the Plumbers, and Ben seemingly returned the package to him. However, Argit learned that Ben switched the contents for artificial Tiffin when the buyer (Jarett) opened it. Argit sourly remarked "Well played, Benjamin" and had his Techadon robots attack the irritated Jarett.
