Idris Kahlo

Known as the Arbiter — a graceful, universally recognized megacorp co-founder, known for a vision he received and a hat he never removes.

Overview

Idris Kahlo co-founded Meridian Holdings with Tobias Wren and became its public face. Where his partner supplies conviction, the Arbiter supplies poise: he is the one in the room who can make two hostile parties feel heard, and the reputation that earned him his name is genuine.

He is instantly identifiable by culturally specific headwear that he wears everywhere, in every setting, without exception. It is as much a part of his public identity as his face.

He is also known for having received a vision of an event — something he has spoken about publicly enough that everyone knows it happened, and vaguely enough that no one agrees on what it was. (Content TBD.)

Appearance

Composed and deliberate. The headwear is never absent, and its cultural specificity is widely noted and rarely explained.

Personality

• Outwardly graceful; a natural mediator
• Publicly visionary, and comfortable with the mystique
• Careful about what he discloses

Relationships

• Tobias Wren — co-founder; complementary opposite
• The Harbingers of the Guide — his vision has obvious doctrinal implications that he has never encouraged

Status

Publicly visible, constantly.
