Ahfonos is a follower of Argus the watcher.

a mute, vigilant, and ever solemn guardsman, once a member of the Argus Legion, He follows orders, protects the vulnerable and is willing to give his life to protect the will of any group or order he finds himself in.

As a new initiate of the legion of Argus, he called out a warning to another guard post that an intruder was attempting to infiltrate the tomb of the watcher he was guarding. The would be intruder spooked by the shout, used the magical item intended to sabotage the holy site on the guard post destroying it and killing the two guardsmen Ahfonos had attempted to alert. ashamed, Ahfonos took an oath of silence to not speak until Argus himself told him he was deserving of a voice. the way this paladin looks at it, actions are superior to words anyway.
