History Characters / AssassinsCreedUnityTheAssassins

* {{Deconstruction}}: Arno is a clear deconstruction of not only Ezio, but also Conner, Edward and Shay due to one fact: Arno ''isn't'' an important and vital person to the Assassins or the Templars. He's not a promising new recruit who develops into one of the most respected people of all time like Ezio or Shay, he isn't the last hope of the Assassins like Conner, and he isn't a random person who stumbles into the Assassin-Templar conflict on his own while having his own goals like Edward. Like Altaïr, Arno is just an assassin who isn't getting any special treatment from his superiors who expect him to do what he's told and therefore all the things previous characters would be applauded for are what get Arno repeatedly condemned and eventually [[spoiler:exiled by the Brotherhood]] since he's breaking the Brotherhood's rules. In fact, most of the things that the Brotherhood criticise him for, such as killing without permission and joining the Brotherhood out of revenge instead of believing their ideals, are the exact same things Ezio did during ''Assassin's Creed II''.

* NotSoDifferent: He may hate the Templars to a burning degree, but his actions are too similar to Germain's dealing with his own side.

* GoodCounterpart: Arno’s life is almost exactly the same as [[VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIII Haytham Kenway]], with both of their father’s being killed by Templars while also being raised by Templars themselves. The difference is that Haytham was raised to be a Templar while Arno was kept in the dark about the conflict between Templars and Assasins, which created two very different outcomes: Haytham became loyal to the cause even after learning his father was an Assassin, while Arno was only concerned with being with Élise and getting revenge which means it took him some time to fully join the Brotherhood.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Has this reputation in the Assassin Council, aside from Mirabeau none of them seem to like him all that much. Bellec is an interesting subversion. On one hand he gives Arno a hard time, on the other hand he admires his RebelliousRebel nature [[spoiler:and believes that Arno will support his decision to murder Mirabeau and supplant the Council and go KillEmAll on the Templars. He was wrong. The Council criticize Arno for letting two Master Assassins die on his watch and later kick him out for good]].

* GoodScarsEvilScars: Earns a rather prominent scar on his nose while at Versailles.

* MixedAncestry: Was the son of a plantation owner and a slave.

* BecameTheirOwnAntithesis: [[spoiler:Bellec states that he once saw Templars burn whole villages to find one lone Assassin, but in his FamousLastWords he tells Arno that "To save the Brotherhood. I'd see Paris burn."]]

Mirabeau was the Mentor of the French Assassins, a nobleman, aristocrat, and the original leader of the UsefulNotes/TheFrenchRevolution. He was a voice of moderation calling for a Constitutional Monarchy and set up a truce between the French Assassins and Templars.

* WearingAFlagOnYourFlag: Similar to how [[VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIII Connor]]'s costume was based on the American Star-Spangled Banner, Arno incorporates the French Tricolour into his Assassin robe.

-->'''Robespierre:''' You are a gifted man, Paton. ''Too'' gifted, I fear. Guards, arrest this traitor.

** In his MushroomSamba when he joins the Brotherhood, it's shown he blames himself for his father's death, envisioning Charles looking around for him and saying that they should have already left. It's unclear if Arno's running off really did play a role, the hallucination also showed Charles fighting back against his assailant and in ''Rogue'' we see that [[spoiler:Shay took him by surprise.]]

-->'''Charles Dorian:''' Courage, my boy. You wait just here. I will return when this hand reaches the top. And there is to be no mischief.

* 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.

** He's back at it by ''Dead Kings''.

* GoodParents: To Arno.
