Arno Victor Dorian[1] (1768 – unknown) was a French-Austrian Assassin during the time of the French Revolution.

An orphan who blamed himself for the death of his adoptive father, Arno sought redemption by joining the Assassins in 1789 and working to expose the true instigators of the Revolution.[2][3]

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.[4]

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 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.[3]

Trivia

  • Arno's name is a derivative of German Arnold and French Arnaud. Its old German origin is Arenwald, meaning "eagle", from arn "eagle". Victor is Latin for "conqueror", while Dorian is a Greek name meaning "from the sea".
