Arno Dorian

— Arno Dorian

## Summary

**Arno Victor Dorian** was a member of the French Brotherhood of Assassins and a Master Assassin during the French Revolution. In his early life, Arno was witty and charismatic but also no-nonsense, which fed into his sharp sense of humor, falling back on it whenever he felt emotionally vulnerable.

After the murder of his adoptive father, Arno set out on a quest to find redemption, using this goal to help others in the turbulent time of the French Revolution. Initially, Arno did not take his role as an Assassin seriously, seeing it as little more than an opportunity for revenge against De La Serre's murderers. But over time, Arno realized the true purpose of the Creed, and its flaws.

**Intelligence:** Genius (By the time of his early adulthood, Arno had become a decent swordsman as proven where he was able to fend off Hugo and Victor. He perfected the art in which he could engage multiple opponents in battle and utilize the environment to his advantage. Eventually, it was honed to the point where Arno was able to defeat his mentor Bellec. Arno grew to become a skilled freerunner as he was able to scale buildings as well as natural elements with relative ease, his agile speed allowed him to traverse over and under several obstacles. In addition, he proved to be a capable swimmer, able to swim great distances with exceptional ease. Arno eventually became a Master Assassin trained in the methods of stealth, swordsmanship, combat, firearms, pickpocketing and lockpicking. Arno's stealthy and ruthless nature aided him. As a master of stealth, he could utilize various corners and hiding spots to silently assassinate his targets without being noticed. Arno possessed sharp observational skills as he was able to identify and pinpoint several opportunities that could aid him during his assignments; these deductive skills also helped Arno when solving numerous murder mysteries around Paris.)

**Standard Tactics:** Assassins will try to stealthily assassinate their opponent without being noticed or getting into direct combat. This can be done at a close range with weapons such as the Hidden Blade, or from a distance using silent projectiles such as arrows. If an Assassin is forced into direct combat, they will battle using pressure points and close weapons, such as swords. If an Assassin is spotted from a distance, they can use ranged weapons such as arrows or bullets to fight without having to get close.

**Weaknesses:** None notable
