The Arbiters of Hexis is one of the six factional Syndicates with which the Tenno can align themselves. Of all the Syndicates, they have involved themselves the least in the affairs of the Tenno, and little is known about them – even the identities of their leadership. Besides the typical Syndicate activities, the Arbiters also host the gruelling Arbitrations, and dispense rewards for the same.
Syndicate information
The Arbiters of Hexis is described thusly:
The dogmatic Arbiters seek a truth through discipline and practice. They reject the "Tenno as Warrior" mythology – a lie constructed to limit their potential.
The Arbiters of Hexis exemplify a burning passion to search for the truth of Tenno ability, composed with the knowledge that Tenno are far greater than even their shattered history suggests.
The Arbiters sell the Telos line of weapons: the Telos Boltor, Telos Akbolto, and Telos Boltace. They also carry weapon augments for the Burston Prime, Viper, Jaw Sword, and Silva & Aegis, and warframe augments for Ash, Equinox, Excalibur, Gara, Harrow, Inaros, Limbo, Loki, Mirage, Nyx, Volt, and Wukong. The Syndicate ranks, from least to most favoured, are Fraud, Deceiver, Neutral, Principled, Authentic, Lawful, Crusader, and Maxim. The names of their sigils, in ascending order of importance, are Guiding Path, Bending Will, Discipline, Will, Choice, Grasp, Potential, Succession, Surpassing, and Truth. The Arbiters of Hexis sell Captura scenes for the Arbiters' Tribunal (their headquarters in the Relay), the Reservoir (from the Second Dream quest), and the Lua Containment Chamber (from the Sacrifice quest).

Telos Boltace rework
When the Telos Boltace was significantly rebalanced in Update 20, the Arbiters of Hexis sent an inbox message containing a Forma and a 3-day Affinity booster to any Tenno who had invested Forma into the affected weapon.
Inbox message:
A Storm Is Coming[name],
Discipline and honour guide both our combat methods and the design of our weapons. After rigorous study, the Arbiters of Hexis have concluded that the Telos Boltace violated these rules.
As a remedy, the Telos Boltace has been changed and augmented. It now contains the power of the Stormpath. Cast aside those who obstruct your progress and show your allies the way forward with this power.
We offer you this Forma to hasten your mastery of this newly refined weapon.
Truthfully yours,
The Arbiters of Hexis
The other two rebalanced weapons, the Tonkor and the (Synoid) Simulor, were accompanied by similar inbox messages from Darvo and Cephalon Suda, respectively.
The Arbiters of Hexis have additional dialogue in Operation: Rathuum, where they request remandment of Grineer defectors for war crimes trials. They are mentioned by Cephalon Cordylon in his 14th blog post. Arbiters of Hexis members can be hired by the Tenno to crew their Railjack.
