Arginin

*"I serve the Emperor. As you do not, that makes you my enemy. Nothing else is of consequence."*

**Arginin** is a Sith Marauder from The Progenitor in Star Wars: The Old Republic.

## Outside MNR/TPW

Arginin was a very much duty-driven member of the Sith, rising in both power and status by consuming himself with the task of eliminating the Emperor's enemies. To him, there was little else which mattered, with anyone in his path *not* explicitly an enemy of the Sith being treated as little more than tools, regardless of whether they wielded the Force or not.

## Career

With his reputation in Monday Night Raid as something of a lackluster competitor, Arginin was rather expected to deliver much the same in terms of performance upon his inclusion in the MNR/TPW roster.

While his performance in the Saved State Premiere, like that of many, was a losing effort overall - being knocked out of the Title Rush in the group stages as well as losing a Falls Count Anywhere match against fellow MNR underperformer Amagh Sunwhisper - Arginin did manage to find limited success as part of DragonForce where, along with partner Kyle Mardian, he managed to secure a first-round win in the Men's Duo Tournament. It may have been through a countout, but a win was a win.

Arginin didn't resurface in the ring again until Episode 009. However, as if adding to his moderately woeful luck, the whimsical ire of REDACTED had fallen on him. Momentarily swayed by the temptations of Estelar Ruinstrider, they implemented an alteration to the Convergence, robbing Arginin of what would have been his first singles victory. Deeming the result *undesirable*, Arginin's match was rolled back, whereupon his opponent was changed; from Firiten Duskrunner to a superpowered clone of the MNRTPW referee.

Although this change resulted in Arginin's defeat, the Emperor's trusted servant put up a valiant fight against the blatant injustice, managing to last far longer than any thought he had a right to. Only after taking multiple finishers - as well as dishing out some of his own - from a vastly more powerful opponent did the Sith finally submit for the three-count.

Refusing to be denied, Arginin teamed up with his DragonForce teammate against the Canticle Of Thorns in a bid for #1 Contendership for the Men's Duo titles. In a violent brawl lasting over forty-five minutes, Arginin - the only one of the quartet who didn't sustain a blood-letting injury - hit Noctaemis with the *Execution*. Combined with some intimidation from his immortal teammate scaring Firion out of the ring, the duo secured their place at the opposite side of the ring from the Shadowbreakers at Corrupted.

In spite of his aim to finally redeem himself in the face of such persecution, the odds were simply stacked too far against him. Not only did Firiten manage to turn around what would have been a defeat, bringing *Death From Above* to the Sith in more ways than one.

Corrupted's main event put at least a temporary delay on Arginin's redemption, the Shadowbreakers' superior tactics allowing them to split the duo apart. Without Arginin to back him up, not even Kyle was able to withstand two *Wisecracker*s in a row from Zayne, leading to the stealth specialists retaining their titles.
