Arik's considered to be a god by his people and he is technically capable of omnipotence, since he's a powerful telepath. (Albeit to a lesser degree.)

That and they both founded a powerful bloodline, had a lot of children and they and their descendance both dabbled in politics.

Should make for a good matchup.
