An orphan who blamed himself for the death of his adoptive father, Arno sought redemption by joining the [[French Assassins|Assassins]] in 1789 and working to expose the [[Templars|true instigators]] of the Revolution.<ref>[http://www.gamesradar.com/assassins-creed-5-unity-review/ ''Assassin's Creed: Unity'' bringing co-op to the series on Oct 28]</ref><ref name="YouTube intro">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gypgS8Y9fgs ''Assassin's Creed: Unity'' - Introduction to Arno]</ref>

==Biography==
Born to an Austrian mother and French father, Arno was raised in [[Versailles]] until his father was murdered in 1776, when Arno was eight years old; some time later, his adoptive father also died in a similar manner. Wracked by guilt and blaming himself, Arno sought out the Assassins to find redemption, helping those suffering similar injustice.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYf57HUXOno YouTube: ''Assassin's Creed: Unity - Interview at E3 2014'']</ref>

==Equipment and skills==
Arno was a witty, brash and charismatic Assassin, but he was also known to be stealthy and ruthless. He wore a dark blue hooded coat, waistcoat, and breeches with leather gaiters, rather than the stockings which were popular in his time. He used the [[Phantom Blade]], a wrist-mounted [[crossbow]] that fired [[poison darts]], as well as a French cutlass and a multi-barreled [[Firearms|pistol]]. A dynamic leader and a skilled swordsman, Arno stopped at nothing to uncover the truth about the forces controlling the Revolution for their own gain.<ref name="YouTube intro" />

==Trivia==
*Arno's name is a derivative of [[Germany|German]] Arnold and French Arnaud. Its old German origin is Arenwald, meaning "[[Eagles|eagle]] power", from ''arn'' "eagle" and ''wald'' "power" or "governing". Victor is Latin for "conqueror", while Dorian is a [[Greece|Greek]] name meaning "gifted".
* Arno will have an English accent in Assassin's Creed: Unity. This is because the Lead Game Designer, Alex Pedneault said that characters' accents are to show their nationality, and he thought that players would already know that Arno is French-Austrian.
