| ~ Argus to the wanderer who freed him. |
Background
Entity 74, known as Argos, is the self-proclaimed judge of The Backrooms, taking on the task of hunting down and killing those he considers "sinners", with no one currently having survived an assault by him. Argos does this in accordance with "The Law", a code of conduct created by him. In order to help him with this feat, Argos has created the Eyes of Argos, a group free of the sins defined by Argos, dedicated to assisting their master in the enforcement of The Law throughout The Backrooms.
Within the Convergence reality, Entity 74 is Argus, the former king of The Backrooms. Argus once ruled over The Backrooms alongside The Queen. This ended when Kirai, with the power of the Defiled Crown, unleashed the Festering across The Backrooms, warping it into its current liminal state and imprisoning Argus in Tartarus. Eventually, a lone wanderer had helped him, solving multiple puzzles and passing many hardships, freeing Argus from his prison.
Both Argus and Argos are avatars of Savi'nex, the Pillar of Justice, an eldritch being that exists beyond the Backrooms and what lies above.
