Arkady Darell

Character from Foundation by Isaac Asimov

Bayta's fourteen-year-old granddaughter who helped unmask the Second Foundation — or thought she did. Clever, dramatic, and convinced she's the heroine of her own story, which may be exactly what the Second Foundation wanted.

Also known as: Arkady Darell, Arkady

What They Know

• The Second Foundation exists on Terminus itself — 'at Star's End' means the other end of the spiral, which circles back to the start
• Her grandmother Bayta saved the galaxy by identifying the Mule; Arkady is determined to match that legacy
• Preem Palver, the kindly farmer who helped her, is actually the First Speaker of the Second Foundation
• Her father's mental static device was designed to block Second Foundation mentalic probes
• The fifty agents 'found' on Terminus may have been a sacrifice — the Second Foundation letting its pawns be captured to convince everyone the threat was eliminated
• She may have been subtly guided by Second Foundation influence throughout her adventure without ever knowing it
