Who is Arturo Binewski from Geek Love and what is their importance?

Arturo Binewski, or Arty as the family calls him, is the founder of the Arturan Cult. Arty is an obsessive and jealous man. He was born without hands or feet, but instead has flippers like a fish. Arty's entire life is in reaction to his physical appearance. He tries to cover up his insecurities by becoming overly controlling of everyone and everything else around him. His need to have the most ticket sales in the Fabulon indicates that he directly ties his value to the family with popularity. He is not concerned about money, but instead thirsts for the popularity that can only come through a booming tent act.
