He figures out that The Princess uses her magical ring to secretly transform into Ciara so that she can train to be a knight. Arc tells Ciara his story and they agree to keep each other's secrets.

When Ciara finds out that Arc is the thief who stole her tiara, she kicks him out of the squad. However, after a conversation with Sir Gareth about trust, Arc goes to help Phoenix Squad in their quest to retrieve the golden dagger from the goblin. He earns Ciara's trust and gets reinstated into Phoenix Squad.

Jimbo knocks him out with a sleeping sulphur gas; and the Phoenix Squad comes to rescue him. Jimbo is arrested and thrown into the dungeon, allowing Arc to return to the Phoenix Squad.

In A Knight's Tail, Ciara gave him her ring so she wouldn't loose it in a dead fish pudding to find a gummy worm. He thinks he'll become a prince by using the ring. Instead, he becomes a "monkey pig", and damages the ring. Ciara and Arc then travel deep into the woods and meet a pixie who has beef with Arc for terrorizing her village. Due to being a monster, he uses his advantages to help her people, only for the insects they were stuck with to fight back. Due to his deeds, the other pixies think Arc is worthy of being returned to normal.

In A Thief in the Knight, Arc asks Ciara to show him the legendary Dragonblood Crystals that protect Astoria from Ryker's attack. Unfortunately, one of the the crystals get stolen right afterwards and all evidence points to Arc being the thief, leading to his arrest. Arc tells Ciara and the guards that he only snuck in to take a selfie to send to his dad, but they don't trust him. Luckily, Prudy and Warwick believe him. So, he teams up with them to help prove he's innocent and get the stolen crystal back. Arc battles against Ryker's army alongside the rest of the Knight School students. He works with Ciara to restore the crystal.

Right afterwards, Arc's father gives him a visit.

## Abilities

After some training he became skilled in Swordsmanship as the other knights and skilled with other weapons. However there are times where is falls down as someone from his squad tends to mess up. Of all the members of Phoenix Squad, Arc is the most agile of them. During a sword fight with his dad, Arc was able to hold his own and disarm him from his second sword and use the same sword to fight and defeat his dad.

He had a picture of a monkey riding a pig who were both wearing hats and then took a picture of himself of the Dragonblood Crystals, which he later sent to his dad who knew where he was.
