'''Arno Victor'''<ref>[http://www.gameinformer.com/games/assassins_creed_unity/b/xboxone/archive/2014/06/11/ten-things-you-need-to-know-about-assassin-s-creed-unity.aspx?PostPageIndex=2 GameInformer: ''Ten Things You Need To Know About Assassin’s Creed Unity'']</ref> '''Dorian''' (1768 – unknown) was a [[France|French]]-[[Austria]]n [[Assassins|Assassin]] during the time of the [[French Revolution]].<br />
<br />
An orphan who blamed himself for the death of his adoptive father, Arno sought redemption by joining the Assassin Order in 1789. He worked to expose the [[Templars|true instigators]] behind the Revolution sweeping [[France]].<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><br />
<br />
==Biography==<br />
Born to an Austrian mother and French father, Arno was raised in [[Versailles]], a small city just outside of [[Paris]], until his father was murdered when Arno was eight years old; some time later, Arno's adoptive father also died in a similar manner. Wracked by guilt and blaming himself, he sought out the Assassins as a way to gain redemption, helping those suffering similar injustice.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYf57HUXOno Yogscast: ''Assassin's Creed: Unity - Interview at E3 2014'']</ref><br />

==Equipment and skills==<br />
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]], effectively 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" /><br />

==Trivia==<br />
*Arno's name is a derivative of [[Germany|German]] Arnold and French Arnaud. Its old German origin is Arenwald, which means "[[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".<br />
* In Assassin's Creed 2, Arno is the name of a river in Florence into which Lorenzo de Medici fell as a child, only to be rescued by Giovanni Auditore.<br />
