Good question, and one that the book King of Sartar spends several hundred pages failing to answer. The Dragon Pass rulebook describes him as ''descended from Sartar on his mother's side.''. He was an exile in Prax and Pavis for some time before returning to Sartar. There may be more than one Argrath, a nomad leader called Argrath Whitebull for example. Argrath may even be a title, meaning 'liberator' and could easily be applied to more than one individual.
My own opinion is that he was an opportunist rebel who managed to make some powerful allies, managed to take over certain useful organisations (the Sword Brothers, the Bullocks for example,) and ended up as High King. He is less of a Hero, more of a crafty operator.

A good age to get into Glorantha.
