Arngeir was a powerful Greybeard who lived in and around 4E 201. At the time, Arngeir was the only human of the order with the control over his thu'um necessary to speak without fear of wreaking havoc. Therefore, he acted as the Greybeards' representative during this period. He was the right hand of Paarthurnax, the Grandmaster of the order. Arngeir tutored the Dovahkiin in the Way of the Voice and helped bring about the final defeat of Alduin.[1]

Circa 4E 161, Ulfric Stormcloak had the great honor of being chosen by the Greybeards when he was "just a lad", and spent almost ten years training at High Hrothgar to become a Greybeard, learning the Way of the Voice with Arngeir. He left when the Great War came, and still believed in Arngeir's lectures to some extent in that the Thu'um shouldn't be used lightly. Ulfric doubted Arngeir had forgiven him for leaving, and for the blasphemy of using the Thu'um for anything other than the worship of Kyne.[2]
