Star Ocean: The Last HopeEdit
An Eldarian soldier, blessed with extraordinary fighting ability even by Eldarian standards. A breakdown in the structure of his muscle cells has presented him with an ultimatum: give up his current body, or die an early death. Unsurprisingly, he has chosen to live out what time he has left as a fighter, partly as redemption for the men he has lost along the way. His squadron was wiped out after being attacked by an unknown enemy in Eldarian space, leaving him as the sole survivor, but the injuries he sustained turned his muscular system into a ticking time bomb. (Eldar does not engage in interplanetary war, but this attack kicked off the Eldarian military buildup that continues to this day.) Unafraid of death, he lives a self-destructive life in his constant quest to push himself forward. Since meeting Crowe F. Almedio and Edge Maverick, however, he has begun to re-evaluate himself.
Never taking center stage, he plays a support role in their journey, although that may be born out of pure stubbornness more than anything else. He wields a giant laser scythe in battle. During a part of the ending, he and Myuria are seen holding Reimi back from jumping to Edge. He is strong enough to hold her back with one hand without having her budge.
In Arumat's ending, which is obtained by Arumat having sufficient AR toward Edge, Arumat is on a desert planet, where he finds an Earthling soldier. He asks the soldier if he is an Earthling, and the soldier nervously nods. Arumat says he's had his "share of experience with Earthlings" and then another Earthling soldier is heard screaming in the distance. Arumat murmurs to himself about how "their" behavior has "rubbed off on" him, and he runs off to the other soldier's aid. This unlocks "Arumat's Ending".

As a replacement to Faize Sheifa Beleth he is competent in both fighting and symbology, though favoring close range rather than symbols, unlike Faize. Capable of rather high-level attack symbology, he also has various attack skills with his scythe. In other words, he's a pure offensive character for the front lines. Many of his battle skills either involve massive one or two-hit attacks or multi-hitting attacks with great range.
Like Faize, Arumat is also skilled in Alchemy.

EtymologyEdit
Arumat's last name, Thanatos, means "death" in Greek. His first name is an anagram of the word "trauma".
TriviaEdit
- In the second playthrough of the game onward (if the player has clear data), when Faize is about to leave the party leading to Arumat taking his place, the player can choose to either let Arumat join regardless or keep Faize. If the player decides to keep Faize, however, Arumat will still be seen in cutscenes even though he did not join the party. Of course, Faize will appear on the Calnus instead of Arumat, therefore eliminating any Private Actions with Arumat.
- His voice actor, Kyle Hebert, also provided voices for Dias Flac, and Crowe F. Almedio.
- His ship was numbered 04, which means death in Japanese culture.
