In GRoY, Urvairinus is said to have created the Gladitorial games to celebrate his death. From that and other things (the first DH to take slaves, the first DH to invade his neighbour, the first DH to conquer his neigbour, first DH emperor to fight an enemy man-to-man) I suspect that Urvairinus may have originally been an Alkothi and therefore a Shargashi.
