Abel's brother. Kind and gentle personality. He also loves his sister Georgie as a woman, just like his brother. After caring for her mother, he travels to England and claims to be a pseudonym, but Irwin picked him up and imprisoned him.

* AttemptedSuicide: [[spoiler: In the anime, he slits his wrists and attempts to bleed out in the bathtub, but is unsuccessful and found by a hotel maid before he is treated. In the manga, Arwin gives Arthur a drug similar to heroin, and as Georgie is trying to help him, he jumps off the boat they're on and is believed to have drowned. Fortunately, he is found by a fishing boat and returned to Adelaide, with Georgie believing him to be dead for years]].

* DistressedDude: [[spoiler: When he arrives in London, Duke Dangering kidnaps him and keeps him prisoner to prevent him from revealing his evil plans and the drug trade. This is much worse in the manga where he is constantly injected with drugs to torture him to keep him at bay, and it is even implied that Irwin is sexually abusing him. In fact the only reason they keep him alive is because Maria had fallen in love with him.]]

* MiddleChildSyndrome: He's technically the middle child among his siblings (even if Georgie is adopted), and at least in the manga he doesn't get as much characterization beyond being a {{Foil}} species to Abel.
