Argus

Dependable and steady, Argus is the dog you want in your corner when the road gets long and the stakes get real.

Traits

• Responsible and reliable – the kind of dog who keeps things together
• Picks up chess slowly but earnestly, and eventually becomes decent
• Travels with the main crew throughout the journey
• Plays as a pawn in games – not glamorous, but always where he needs to be

Background

Argus has always been more follower than leader, but the kind of follower a crew cannot function without. He keeps his head down, does his part, and shows up every time. The journey to Chess City pulls him beyond anything he has done before, and he rises to meet it.

Role in the Story

Argus represents steady loyalty – the backbone of any good team. His gradual growth as a chess player mirrors his growth as a character: not flashy, but real.
