Throughout the series
Arjun is supportive and understanding of the requirements of his wife's career and has made friends with many of her political contacts as well. As conspiracy and intrigue grows within the United Nations, Chrisjen tells him that he needs to go to Luna for a while, as she fears it's not going to be safe for him on Earth much longer. Arjun accompanies Chrisjen to Mars for an official meeting. On UN One prior to landing on Mars, they admire the aurora borealis on the edge of the planet, which is now possible thanks to Mars's new magnetosphere. Arjun ponder ed that Martians are resilient and work to build a good world for generations they will not live to meet, something that the Earth has forgotten. At a Martian banquet, Arjun sits next to Bobbie Draper and starts talking to her, shaking her hand and thanking her for saving Chrisjen's life. Bobbie thanks him and humorously retorts that Arjun is much braver than she has ever been just for marrying Chrisjen. While Chrisjen campaigns for re-election as Secretary-General of the United Nations, he supports her efforts and advises her where he can and comforts her when she needs it. As the campaign starts to falter, Chrisjen becomes increasingly upset. Arjun confesses that he's never questioned her actions, because he knew she always had the right reasons in mind, but with the election it feels like it's not about her being right, it's just about her needing to win. He becomes more and more disillusioned with her political tactics as the campaign goes on. After Chrisjen's defeat by Nancy Gao she is reassigned duties on Luna. She asks Arjun to go with her however he tells her he'd rather stay on Earth so that they can both have time to adjust. Chrisjen realizes Arjun is mad at her, which he denies, but despite her pleading with him to go with her, he tells her to go alone and walks away. Arjun was killed in the wake of the Bombardment of Earth by the Free Navy.
