Talk:Arbiters of Hexis/@comment-83.42.253.229-20150220005630/@comment-25920514-20150220205521

Fair comment and excellent observation (really good analysis), but misguided (imao). The Arbiters of Hexis name means judge. By the nature of the syndicate, they are a group of individuals that live by a code and mean to hold others by that code. Here's the exact definition of their name:

Arbiter - a person who settles a dispute or has ultimate authority in a matter.

"the military acted as arbiter of conflicts between political groups"

a person whose views or actions have great influence over trends in social behavior.

"an arbiter of taste"

synonyms: authority, judge, controller, director

Hexis -  Hexis (ἕξις) is a relatively stable arrangement or disposition, for example a person's health or knowledge or character. It is a Greek word, important in the philosophy of Aristotle, and because of this it has become a traditional word of philosophy.

So, going off of this definition, you could rename then the "Directors of Concience." This is a very accurate destription of their vocation. Why do they judge other people's business? Because they believe that there is a standard; a code that all Tenno need to live by. Can you say that of any other syndicate? In fact, the Arbiters are the only syndicate that send their "death squad" in hopes of convincing you to change your behavior for the better, not to kill you.

So, in my oppinion, the Arbiters of Hexis are the most purely driven syndicate in the game to date. The others? They really are like natzis. They rule out morals for the sake of a biased goal (profit, cleansing and purity. Yeah, that last one sounds really bad. Rather "Hitler-esque"). Then, if you don't cooperate, they want you gone. Period.
