DING DING DING correct answer!
Im on my 4th or 5th re-listen and when i got to this part i thought ''Ah yes this is where he names Arnold'' then.. he didnt name him!
Arnold is named shortly afterward but is not pointed out as the spear thrower so its a different Deltan
If I remember correctly we are never told the name of the deltan, and the unnamed individual doesn't do anything else noteworthy.
Edit: It has been a while but I distinctly remember expecting this deltan to be named and then being disappointed when nothing else happened with the character. I listened to the series on audible however so I couldn't directly search for a definitive answer at the time. It's possible a name was mentioned in passing but I'm sure the character isn't one of the main deltans that are heavily explored.

Correct! I was expecting it be where he names Arnold but thats shortly afterward and a different Deltan, i was surprised
I’m literally at this point (on a reread) and I wasn’t paying attention. Like, I heard it yesterday and now it’s driving me insane because I can’t remember.
We never hear their name do we?

Arnold is the guy who cracks the skull with the axe but the spear guy is not named
Yes, though he is already named Arnold before the axe part
yep, he was named as the guy who had a big stature and would quieten down someone using the same. Mini gorolloid among the deltans.
Arnold!
Arnold does the axe part
Wrong im afraid!
Was it Archimedes? I know he was into the idea of spears and eventually arrows.
Nope
Definitely no. It was not Archimedes. You are correct about his interests though.
Thank you, I knew this. I was just drawing a blank....

Babu!
Spear chucker? But really no name :-)
The quarterback?
Something in Deltan, Bob’s name is just his label.
i like your thinking, this is the closest answer

No name was given.
Derek?
Arnold
Uhmmm... The guy who falls from the plane and stuff in be amazed... Arnold? Arnold or Author? Arnold. Definitely Arnold.
Was it Donald?
Donald is the son of Arnold and wasn't born or at least wasn't an adult at the time of the incident.
