'''Arclo''' is a Dysian [[Aimian]] who was known to reside in [[Tashikk]]. He claims to be thousands of years old, having been alive before the [[Last Desolation]]. It can be assumed that he at least knows [[Axies]] as he mentions him by name during his conversations with [[Lift]] {{book ref|sa2.5|18}}. |

His true form is made of many [[cremling]]-like creatures he refers to as hordelings that fit together to form the different parts of his body. Arclo typically imitates the form of an elderly man{{book ref|sa2.5|6}} and does his best to maintain as close to a human form as he can{{book ref|sa2.5|18}}. He is very interested in philosophical debates and often brings up some of these ideas when he speaks to Lift{{book ref|sa2.5|6}}, at one point even going off on several philosophical tangents when Lift is meeting with him in the alleyway where he killed the two [[Skybreakers]] acolytes.{{book ref|sa2.5|18}} |

Over many years Arclo has bred its hordelings to allow it to change its appearance to that of a human. It does its best to maintain as close to a human form as it can, but it is not confident in its ability to fool humans, and so it conceals most of its body in a tightly wrapped [[shiqua]] to compensate for this. Arclo's hordelings can sense Lift's [[spren]], [[Wyndle]].{{book ref|sa2.5|18}} |

Aclomedarian was Seperated{{book ref|sa3.5|6}} over four-thousand-five-hundred years before the [[True Desolation]], before the [[Last Desolation]].{{book ref|sa2.5|18}} At some point, it ceased protecting the [[Dawnshard]] in [[Akinah]] and left the island. Due to this, amongst some other meddling, it was eventually cut off from communications with the other swarms.{{book ref|sa3.5|6}} |

It was a friend and ally of the [[Knights Radiant]] before the Last Desolation and the [[Recreance]].{{book ref|sa2.5|18}} It considers these days to have been wonderful, and reminisces upon them.{{book ref|sa2.5|18}} |

⚫ | He was known to sit on the porch of the orphanage in [[Yeddaw]] and met with Lift there several times. During their conversations, he asked her about which body part she felt she was, which she brushed off as a dumb question.{{book ref|sa2.5|6}} Lift later seeks him out as she believes that he is the other [[Knights Radiant|Radiant]] in Tashikk that [[Nale]] is searching for. She finds him in an alley with the corpses of two of Nale's trainees. He then reveals his true form to her. He guides her towards the person she is actually looking for then parts ways with her. His hordlings can sense Lift's [[spren]] [[Wyndle]].{{book ref|sa2.5|18}} |

Unlike many of the other Sleepless living on Roshar, Arclo is not participating in guarding Akinah and the Dawnshard that is being hidden there. It does not follow [[Yelamaiszin]] the First, the leader of most of the Sleepless on Roshar, who consider Arclo's meeting with [[Knights Radiant]] to be dangerous. Due to this and other "meddling", the other Sleepless have cut Arclo off from their communications.{{book ref|sa3.5|6}} However, they don't hate it the way they do the "true traitors."{{wob ref|14310}} |
