A year on, the reasons for his abrupt departure can now be revealed in: http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~jcc46/ArgusBackstory.pdf (be aware that this is a long document largely of interest to no-one but myself and the TT foip is only the last two sides).
During the 2010 3ygb an illusionary and far more Sordanite version of Argus based on the little Dot had told their son Blake about him married Dot in a reality constructed from Blake's mind, which she eventually retired to live in permanently.
This is the picture that inspired him: 
(although he is not a Marsh-wiggle. At all.)
This is an attempt to create an image of roughly how I picture him, using photoshop and a photo of me wearing his costume (taken by Edith in Lent 2009). 
This is a drawing of Young Argus, aged approximately 150 during his first time round living in Grantabrugge. At this point he was a student in the Brown College, married to a human, and had no particular interest in eels whatsoever. :p The caption should be 'And when you show me a valid warrant, you're very welcome to come in'.
