There's a theory I have about that. I've noticed that the Traveller is mentioned in the Vex 4 Grimoire to have terraformed/changed/transformed Venus from/into "another" past or future that may not be our own timeline. There's a chance that some or all the races are a past/future version of humanity. There are striking similarities in terms of the Guardian classes. It wouldn't surprise me at all if Eliksni turned out to be from a future in which humanity evolved to have 4 arms for some reason.
Could tie into the idea of the Stranger being able to shift between dimensions.
Then again, it's way easier to assume they're just aliens :P

You might be on to something the arms aren't groan they are robotics attachments.

I think they have 4 arms at birth. Shortly after, 2 of their arms are "docked" or removed because they start out as a dreg, the lowest in their hierarchy. Later as you rise though the ranks, you are granted your arms back as a symbol of rank.

Interesting... But could just have been a simple oversight by the devs. Just a cool name more likely

Thats an interesting thought... At first I thought it had a hole in it, which would be that the fallen used to be protected by the traveler, but then I realized that your theory might hold water. I'll see if my findings match with it.
