Shit. It's a long list.
xcasio - for enabling Araatus to properly develop, even letting us use his teamspeak server. He took care of Panda and I and taught us how to be admins.
Kaltsu - Same kind of thing, was always very cool and helped us when we needed it.
Axel/Mike_Araatus - One of the most loyal guys Araatus has ever had, and a real cool guy even IRL.
Squeak_Araatus - crazy motherfucker. When he joined he was only a noob and then he became one of the most powerful figures in the criminal world.
Hafford_Araatus - Used to be an incredible cop that we always feared getting into a fight with, and then joined our side and used the same skill against our enemies.
ElMartu_Araatus - Great lieutenant, loyal guy.
Ness_Araatus - for reasons only Panda and a few others might understand.
Jay_Araatus - Decided to take matters into his own hands and remade the topic, and revived the group on his own terms.
Lanonymous_Araatus - Same thing as Jay.
CBFasi - Used to be just a random freecop patrolling SF when I joined. Then he worked his way up through the ranks and became one of the most important figures in Argonath.
Cofiliano_Gvardia - Probably the most successful criminal ever to be on Argonath, fought a war with us at the beginning and after he became our closest ally and very good friend. I don't know where we'd be without him.
Iggy_Solonik - He was in his 30's when he started Solonik, and was a very paternal figure in mine and Panda's development. I thank him for that.
Loki_Araatus - He was the third part in the leadership of Araatus at the beginning, the sense between my impulsiveness and Panda's drive for diplomacy. He tempered out our teenage minds as he was much older at the time, and without him I believe Araatus would have failed.
Last but of course absolutely not least
Panda_Araatus - Met him when he was in Corleone, I knew of him only because he owned a taxi that spawned in San Fierro at the airport where my skin used to spawn. After being in Corleone with him for a while and then eventually switching to Solonik, we decided we weren't happy with either of those groups and created the Araatus Yakuza, which has been around for about 7 years now and is still almost daily a topic of our conversation. Panda and I grew up from the young teen ages all the way until adulthood, and we became inseparable, best friends. We have visited each other several times IRL and still speak every single day, whether it be on facebook or teamspeak. I am glad to have met this man as he helped me develop as a teenager, and now that we are both adults has been a great companion for the entire journey. He is in my eyes the single greatest player to have ever existed on Argonath, and without him this server would be decidedly different.
