The brief glimpse of Dumas in the Brotherhood mission, "The Tournament" clarifies that the confusion stems from similarity of costume more than anything.

!!Arno Victor Dorian
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arno_dorian_acu_8797.png]]
-->'''Voiced By:''' Dan Jeannotte

->''"The Creed of the Assassin Brotherhood teaches us that nothing is forbidden to us. Once, I thought that meant we were free to do as we would. To pursue our ideals, no matter the cost. I understand now. Not a grant of permission. The Creed is a warning."''

The main protagonist of the Animus portion of the game, an Assassin of both French and Austrian descent. He joined the Brotherhood in 1789, the year the Revolution began.
----
* AnimalMotifs: Arno is old German for "Eagle's Strength" continuing the usual theme for {{Player Character}}s like Altaïr, Ezio, and Haytham, a notable return after Connor's wolf theme and Edward Kenway's non-theme variation.
* TheAtoner: According to promotional material, he joins the Brotherhood after he causes the accidental death of one of his parents.
* AuraVision: Has a short-lasting variant of Eagle Vision known as Eagle Pulse that allows him to tag foes like how Edward's Eagle Vision worked in ''Black Flag'', which can be upgraded to function more similarly to that of Ezio's Eagle Vision.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Though you don't have to do them as a player, the optional objectives for his missions show him meticulously scanning the city for an easy way to his targets. See GuileHero for an excellent example.
* BackToBackBadasses: With Elise in the SDCC trailer.
* BadassLongcoat: Similar to Connor's outfit -- which makes sense, when you consider that both games take place in the late 18th Century.
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: Wields two Hidden Blades that also come with a ballistic knife attachment known as the Phantom Blade.
* BrokenStreak: The first player character in the main console series not to be an ancestor of Desmond Miles.
* ClassyCravat: As opposed to the red sashes of earlier Assassin protagonists and his fellow Assassin teammates, Arno wears a red cravat in his default outfit.
* ConflictingLoyalties: Not only is he in love with a Templar, his Order's sworn enemy, he was unknowingly raised by the French Templar Grandmaster before he was murdered. [[ChildhoodFriendRomance Since the latter is the former's father,]] it's got an [[TheParagonAlwaysRebels interesting twist.]]
* CulturedBadass: Is very well educated due to his noble upbringing.
* TheCharmer: Is described as very charismatic.
* DatingCatwoman: Elise, his romantic interest, happens to be a Templar.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Has a rather prominent scar on his nose.
* GuileHero: Make no mistake, he can kick your ass in a fight, but he can come up with some pretty sneaky ways to take you down. Take the place of a confessor to kill the man confessing to him, simultaneously taking out his target and gathering information? Oh yeah.
* FrameUp: He's framed for the death of his adopted father, Templar Grandmaster, François de la Serre and gets sent to the Bastille, where he meets Marquis de Sade and Pierre Bellec before escaping on 14 July, 1789.
* IconicItem: Has a pocket watch in his possession that according to Alex Amancio will be very important. It belonged to his father.
* InTheHood: Like most Assassins Arno wears a hood most of the time.
* LeParkour: Is an excellent freerunner, climbing through Paris like how Connor traversed forests.
* MoreDakka: Wields a multi-shot pistol that allows him to shoot several people at once without reloading.
* NotInThisForYourRevolution: Despite being French, he doesn't care for the political debates and partisan politics of the Revolution, leaving that to Mirabeau and others to handle.
* OddFriendship: Forms a bond with Elise, a Templar. She was his best friend as a child and his first love as well.
* SeeingThroughAnothersEyes: The third variant of Eagle Vision in Arno's possession, Communal Sense, allows his teammates to see what he sees within a limited range.
* SinisterScimitar: His pose in his character trailer shows him stretching a French cutlass aloft, in true swashbuckler fashion.
* StealthExpert: Is good at all forms of stealth.
* SwordAndGun: The requisite combination for any Assassin since Ezio is still present here.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: Was a thoroughly adorable little boy as can be seen in the trailer.

* {{Badass}}: He's a career soldier and a Master Assassin. [[spoiler:And he gives Arno a beast of a fight]].
* ConspicuouslyPublicAssassination: He very seriously recommends this to Arno. Telling him that if he can't find a stealthy approach, there is great honour in sacrificing himself for the Assassin cause. Arno looks at him as if he's grown another head:
-->'''Arno:''' [[SarcasmMode You mean a dagger in broad daylight as I'm cut down where I stand]].

* {{Foil}}: [[spoiler:To Germain, who turned and betrayed his Grand Master, he wants to take the Assassin into the light of a better future, and sees himself following in the footsteps of Altair, Ezio and Connor]].
* RebelliousRebel: Is quite critical of Mirabeau's truce with the Templars. [[spoiler: Later invokes this trope as his defense for killing Mirabeau with poison]].
* ReplacementGoldfish: [[spoiler:Arno on killing him realizes that he was this for Pierre. He was good friends with Charles and saw Arno as following in his footsteps]].
* SternTeacher: When discussing the Assassination with Charles Gabriel Sivert, he refuses to provide any hand-holding to Arno, telling him that now that he's no longer a young rookie, he must do his assassinations himself, including all the planning and groundwork.
* TheRevolutionWillNotBeVilified: He's a firm Jacobin partisan and believes that the Assassin cause is just, described to be a fanatic. [[spoiler:In the game proper, he believes that any peace with the Templars is folly and goes as far as to kill his Mentor, Mirabeau, to achieve his aims]].

* BigGood: For Arno.
* CulturedBadass: Highly educated and well read.
* FriendlyEnemy: With Grand Master de la Serre. They meet at the Estates-General and immediately call for a truce and both speak highly of each other in private conversations.
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: The real Mirabeau was one of the co-authors of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and regarded as one of the great figures of the Revolution.
* HistoricalHeroUpgrade: He's shown as a great pragmatist and a voice of reason in the Assassin Council and is shown to be the BigGood for the French Revolution. His real-life chicanery with the King, corruption and naked political ambition is not looked at much. Some historians do believe that had Mirabeau lived, France could have avoided the ReignOfTerror, others, usually critics, believe, that had he lived, he would be one of its first victims for his political corruption.
* {{Hypocrite}}: While criticizing the Royal Family in the Assembly, he also managed to get his debts paid by the Crown.
* KavorkaMan: His bio in Project Widow makes note of his considerable sexual appetite, for which he was constantly imprisoned, sometimes by his father.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: For the Assassins and France.
* SurroundedByIdiots: How he feels about France at the time of the Revolution, a stupid King who doesn't understand the mess he's in and a bunch of politicians arguing no better than a village council. The real Mirabeau also believed himself to be the same at the time of his death.
