Arkhew

Arkhew was one of the Doctor's cousins in the House of Lungbarrow. He wanted to be a cloud-sculpter but was unable to because of the burying of the House of Lungbarrow. The Doctor described him as; "... an inoffensive sort of chap, as I recall. Gentle, unassuming. Unusual for this family." After the House of Lungbarrow was buried, Arkhew began gambling food with Owis and would often check in dangerous places (like the clock) for Quences' will because he was worried that the others would laugh at him if he didn't check. Owis found it funny that Arkhew would give in so easily to peer pressure - it was he who persuaded Arkhew to look in the clock. After being infected by the dust in the clock, Arkhew was forced to relive the burying of Lungbarrow. Later on, when Glospin told Owis that the Doctor's return meant that they were one person over Lungbarrow's quota, Owis strangled Arkhew and left his body in the funguretum, killing him permanently. Afterwards, Owis was persuaded to leave his body outside Satthraltrope's room when Rynde bet him 5 tafleshrews that he couldn't find a better place to put it. (NA: Lungbarrow)
