An Archon is a player who has been entrusted with a character that possess some GM-level abilities such as Set Reactor, Teleport, Broadcast and Jailing abilities. They are easily identified by the Archon orange dye they wear, along with the Archon helm item.

Each Archon is usually assigned a specific duty, such as monitoring Clans, Revels, Carnages or Subpaths but all Archons perform judicial duties and help test out new features before they are publically released to the rest of players.

Archons are led by the Archon Primogen, which is a position usually (but not always) held by the most experienced and qualified Archon. The Archon Primogen exists to ensure that other Archons perform their jobs properly.

Archons are often called "Assistant Game Masters" in other games, but recently many larger game publishers have been shifting away from using "volunteer workers" to handle these administrative tasks due to complaints from customers who accuse many players of mis-using their positions to harrass other players. However, NexusTK still uses volunteer players to perform their Assistant GM duties.

Historically, Archons were selected from among the Angel ranks, but since Angels were removed from the game, they are selected from the general populace by the Archon Primogen. Before they are given all of the powers and duties of an Archon, an Archon candidate is given a Pawn character and assigned menial tasks.
