Arqueros is a powerful archon empyreal lord. He typifies the stalwart defender, protecting against corruption and evil. When he takes on a charge to protect, he sends multitudes of his minions as aid.1 He currently holds the title of Lord of the Wall for Threshold, the lowest level of Heaven.2

Appearance

The Golden Bulwark is 12 feet tall, wears shining golden armor, and wields a longspear with diamond blades.1

History

It is likely that Ragathiel's ascendancy to the ranks of the empyrean was only made possible, during the Concordance to discuss this topic, because Arqueros took an oath to look after and watch the half-devil if he became an empyreal lord.3

Church of Arqueros

Temples devoted to Arqueros are located in cities at war, palaces, and trade cities. His faithful pray every day while holding a heavy shield over their heads. His favored minions are celestial aurumvoraxes, guardian nagas, and shield archons.1
