Arthur Watts

Arthur Watts, also known as The Good Doctor, is a character from the RWBY series.
== Charactah Account ==
One of Salem's associates. He is tasked with meeting one of Salem's informants in Mistral. A former doctor and scientist for Atlas, he has defected under unknown circumstances. He is the only member of Salem's group who speaks to her conversationally.
Watts is formal and sophisticated. He speaks in a refined accent, yet he can be arrogant and condescending, even to his allies. However, he is humble enough to admit not to take credit for things he did not achieve by himself, for when Salem initially thinks he found out where the Spring Maiden is, he reveals it was Qrow Branwen when he spoke to Leonardo Lionheart.
Watts states that he has a low opinion of failure, which extends to Cinder Fall after she was defeated by Ruby Rose. He criticizes and belittles Cinder and enjoys provoking her, especially since she cannot talk back. He also looks down upon her underlings, Emerald Sustrai and Mercury Black. However, Salem chastises him for his needless "malignance" and he avoids speaking out of line in her presence.

== Trivia ==
* The name Arthur comes from the Roman clan name Artorius, meaning noble, courageous. Noble brings dark and royal colors to mind, while courageous brings red colors to mind.
* Arthur Watts alludes to John Watson, from the Sherlock Holmes stories, if Watson had connected with James Moriarty instead of Sherlock Holmes. The name Arthur likely alludes to the author of the original Sherlock Holmes stories, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
* A "watt" is a unit of power used to express the rate of energy transfer which is generally correlated to electricity in modernized society. As a result, it invokes the colors associated with electricity especially shades of yellow, blue, and white seen in lightning.
* The same "W" symbol that is present when Cinder is rigging the Vytal Festival tournament rounds appears on his customized personal Scroll and as a hologram in "Welcome to Haven" when Watts speaks to Lionheart.
