If there's two, then obviously no problem
Argrath White Bull - animist
Argrath Maniskisson - theist
But your question is what is there's only one?
Hmm - what about misplaced worhship - the sword brothers, for example are misplaced worship of Humakt?
Theists can get spirits from Shamans - maybe an associate member then of some sort
I can't say I'm convinved by either of the aove, but I'd thought I'd toss them in.
Somewhat more convincing (to me at least) - He's illuminated?
Michael
PS - personally I think Argrath Maniskisson and Argrath White Bull are two separate people
