Character Spotlight: Arishem

The towering giant and extraterrestrial Arishem the Judge decides whether a race is worthy or unworthy of existence.

Who is Arishem

Arishem is a Celestial known also as the Killer of Planets — His judgement is formed over the course of successive visits embodying Celestial Hosts, to determine whether a planet is worthy of existence.

Transcending space and time, the Celestials exist in multiple places simultaneously. As such, Arishem is capable of judging multiple planets at once — displaying his judgement as either a thumbs-up or thumbs-down.

Powers & Abilities

Arishem possesses limitless cosmic powers beyond our comprehension. As his role as Cosmic-Judge would suggest, he is capable of destroying entire planets.

While Arishem often takes the form of an exploratory body known as “the Host” while visiting planets, his true form exists beyond conventional understanding of space and time. Arishem’s energy is manifested within a physical shell that resembles an immense suit of armor, standing 2,000 feet tall.

Arishem leads his fellow Celestials to explore countless worlds — watching, judging, and shaping the evolutionary paths of other races.
