Arko

Arko is a human from Transformers: King Grimlock.

Arko is a human from the realm of Menonia. She is the daughter of Elder Arnak of Valerift. Arko often participates in resistance efforts against oppressors holding power over her realm, but she doesn't always agree with the methods or timing of her compatriots. This leads to Arko going off alone to handle things her way, which usually means faster, harder, and with expert local knowledge. Arko's not afraid of pain nor allying herself with more powerful beings if she thinks this will further her goals.

Arko was one who put more value in personal power than prayer or gods, initially proud that her father Arnak had summoned an Autobot to aid the Menonians' resistance against the Golden One. She showed disappointment when Arnak begged Lord Grimlock for help, and received admonished her for her pride. As Arnak continued his entreaties to the Dinobot, Arko interrupted to say they didn't have time for talk. If Grimlock would not help their cause, they would have to fight for themselves. Arnak dismissed Arko's sentiment as disrespect and continued his entreaties to Grimlock. But Grimlock ultimately declined to join their cause, even knowing it would mean he was trapped in Menonia. This dampened the morale of the Menonians, and Arko seemed to have some change of heart. She saw Grimlock's physical strength as a desirable power. She had no time for weakness. Rather than fight without Grimlock, or suffer begging, she would find a way to MAKE Grimlock help them. So, Arko ran off alone after Grimlock. Grimlock the Rebel
