Designation: Unconfirmed Affiliate
Classification: Unknown Biological or Artificial Origin
Status: Active, Under Surveillance
Last Known Location: Mobile, operating with the Defiant Order

Personal Profile

  • Full Name: Sohko Armatha
  • Title: None formally recognized
  • Pronouns: He/Him (assumed based on interactions)
  • Affiliation: Presumed aligned with Kajime Armatha and the Defiant Order

Summary Assessment

Sohko Armatha is an enigmatic figure whose origins and biology remain unverified. Always clad in heavy religious garb and a golden mask, Sohko presents no visible signs of conventional humanity. While he exhibits behaviors consistent with biological entities—such as breathing and eating—observers have noted that even these actions could be performative. His loyalty to Kajime Armatha is absolute, yet the nature of their relationship is equally unclear; no evidence has been found to confirm or refute a biological connection between them.

Sohko’s skill set appears to center on combat support and tactical awareness, but his reluctance to engage in social interactions or reveal any personal details limits a full assessment of his capabilities. His hostility toward mentions of House Velothi—including defensive and aggressive posturing—raises significant questions about his past or programming.

Key Concern: Sohko’s lack of verifiable identity or origin, combined with his reactionary hostility to specific topics, makes him an unpredictable element within the Defiant Order’s operations.

Attributes

Strengths:

  1. Combat Awareness: Displays proficiency in close-quarters combat and tactical adaptability.
  2. Unwavering Loyalty: Dedicated to Kajime Armatha’s directives, suggesting a deeply ingrained sense of duty.
  3. Imposing Presence: His religious garb and golden mask create an aura of mystery and intimidation, influencing interpersonal dynamics.

Weaknesses:

  1. Unverified Origin: No biological evidence has been gathered to confirm Sohko’s nature, leaving questions about whether he is human, artificial, or something else entirely.
  2. Emotional Reactivity: Displays volatile hostility toward mentions of House Velothi, suggesting unresolved trauma or programming conflicts.
  3. Limited Initiative: Relies heavily on Kajime for directives, showing little inclination for independent decision-making.

Behavioral Analysis

Personality Type: Calculating Visionary

  • Key Traits: Reserved, strategic, perceptive, and enigmatic.

  • Strengths: High-level planning, cultural and paracasual awareness, and adaptability.

  • Weaknesses: Secretive nature and difficulty building trust.

Public Persona: Quiet, observant, and deferential to Kajime. Sohko rarely speaks unless directly addressed and often communicates through body language or subtle gestures.

Internal Assessment: Sohko’s golden mask and heavy garb obscure any physical identifiers, creating significant gaps in his profile. While his breathing suggests biological function, the possibility of mimicry cannot be discounted. His fierce loyalty to Kajime raises the possibility of pre-programmed or deeply instilled behavioral conditioning.

Operational Role

Sohko functions primarily as a bodyguard and combat operative, providing support during engagements and enforcing Kajime’s directives. His ability to maintain focus and execute orders efficiently makes him a valuable, if enigmatic, ally.

Notable Incidents

  1. Knife Incident with Marty: Reacted with immediate aggression when Marty mentioned House Velothi, drawing a weapon and issuing a verbal warning. This level of hostility was disproportionate and indicates a significant personal or conditioned connection to Velothi​.
  2. Sandcrawler Operations: Acted as a key supporter during missions involving Kajime’s sandcrawler, ensuring operational security and assisting in tactical decision-making​.
  3. Avoidance of House Ordinat Accusations: Refused to clarify why the House of MAD was accused of resurrecting House Velothi, deferring entirely to Kajime for explanations. This refusal suggests an unwillingness or inability to engage with the subject directly​.

Unresolved Points

  1. Nature of Sohko’s Origin: No evidence has been obtained to confirm whether Sohko is a biological, artificial, or hybrid entity. His behavior and physiological cues remain inconsistent with standard profiles.
  2. Relationship with Kajime: The lack of observable familial traits or shared identifiers raises questions about the true nature of his bond with Kajime.
  3. Connection to House Velothi: Sohko’s extreme hostility toward mentions of Velothi implies a deeper connection that warrants further investigation.

Recommendations

  1. Extended Surveillance: Implement unobtrusive monitoring of Sohko’s interactions with Kajime and other members of the Defiant Order to gather additional behavioral data.
  2. Controlled Exposure to Velothi Topics: Create scenarios involving indirect references to House Velothi to assess Sohko’s reactions and gain insights into his connection to the subject.
  3. Biological Analysis: Secure a method to obtain biological or mechanical data from Sohko without violating operational trust.
