I may be misremembering, but why did he have "et in arcadia ego" on his gun?

Having not read the book, surely it is because he is in heaven ('arcadia') when he is killing/using his gun/applying violent force in a metaphysical sense?

I read "unholstered" as "upholstered" and kekked right proper m8.

And what worth is your consent, if it bears not the agency to silence that life? Sure, you can strangle the whole circle judge, but you can hardly take every china man. Hardly slay all the men of India. You are limited by your body.

I love the judge, but he's only scary up close.

I think the translation is something like "Even in Arcadia, I was there", where the "I" in question is Death.

As death rules even in Arcadia (meaning he rules everywhere, and that his metric alone is the ultimate measure of all things) so the Judge professes to rule this creation as its demiurge, and seeks vainly to position himself as the measure of all things via his assumed role as the steward of war and it's capacity to enforce objective truth in a cripplingly subjective world.

A world where were The Judge more than a fellow a captive to its unfolding, and an essence beholden to its greater wonts, would not disdain propagate it through adjudication.

His highest title is his highest mockery; and his blazon is his impotent conceit.
