The Arishok is the leader and highest ranking general of the antaam, the military branch of the Qunari. He is part of the Triumvirate and leads what is believed to be the "body" of the Qunari. Due to Qunari belief that only males can be professional warriors, he is always male. Though the antaam is the only branch of the Qunari that openly venture outside Qunari territory, the Arishok rarely leads units personally, having a palace on Seheron.
