Humbug yourself. I think there is at least three (Argrath White Bull, Argrath Maniskisson and Argrath of Pavis).

I don't like it either, but if that's the best we can show for Argrath
Maniskisson and Argrath white Bull being the same then sort of says they
aren't. I don't like it because it makes everything too easy. "Oh
he could
do that because he's illuminated". No better than "cause I say so". It's
a cop out in the case of Argrath.
> Who thinks Arkat was more than one person (excluding Gbaji)?
Never thought about it but my instant reaction is that I don't like it.
