Arminus Philotimo is a Taldan Horse officer in Yanmass and was originally one of the people Martella contacted to assist her with the vote on the succession. Arminus had disappeared, lost in the wilds north of Yanmass after his patrol encountered some giants. But Prosopo intercepted the message and joined instead.
The party encountered him turned to stone by a medusa. Once they revived him, he told them about his regiment traveling to Tallgrasses and seeing a load of Qadiran style equipment and horses there. He and other loyal soldiers were sent to Orvestrikar Manor to be turned to stone.
He is also the bastard son of Maxillar Pythareus, a secret that Martella discovered while researching the High Strategos. She likely intends to use him to discredit Pythareus.
After the party defeated the treasonous leadership of the regiment and the instigator of their treason, Earl Yander Merkondus, Arminus was made commander of the regiment as the highest ranking officer remaining.
