Arkarian - A Named Guardian

A Named Guardian

Arkarian is a TruthMaster, a high-ranked member of the Guard, described by Lorian as "vital to survival and success." He is also one of the Named, whose identities' revelation brings about the final conflict of the Guard and the Order. As such, he receives a whip, one of the weapons designated for the Named. Its ability is "to do anything with motion and matter, like igniting fires, moving masses of water, creating a dust storm, or simply destroying . . . creatures."

Though it is never expressly stated which of his powers are innate, and which are gifts, it is assumed that Arkarian's natural skills are telepathy (dubbed TruthSeeing in the universe of the Guardians of Time) and a form of telekinesis. The latter, never actually named or explained, manifests itself in an ability to make objects appear and disappear at will. In addition, Arkarian is able to give comfort through touch. The true quantity and extent of his powers, those given by the Tribunal and learned from Lorian or otherwise, are unknown. Also he is able to make pain subside through touch.
