“What’s the matter? Are you simply going to watch? Was your previous decision a mistake then? I am thou, thou art I. Call upon my name, and release thy rage!“
– Arsene, Persona 5
Arsene
Commonly read as Arsène, this persona is the symbol of the Fool Arcana. Arsene belongs to the protagonist and awakens to him when the city of Shibuya is nearly engulfed in darkness. Soon after the hero awakens to Arsene, he establishes the Phantom Thieves of Hearts.
In a sense, he and his wielder are both anti-heroes. Arsène is a fictional gentleman thief created by Maurice Leblanc. He targeted criminals or those who were worse criminals than himself. His true name is Arsène Lupin and was known as a master of disguise. While fighting for good, he would use methods that didn’t agree with the law. Arsène falls into the Gentleman Thief archetype with his trademark Gallic style and panache.
Just like him, the protagonist resorts to vigilante activities in order to make the world a better place. Even if the law does not approve of his methods. This happens when he interacts with other members of the law enforcement, often times getting into trouble even if he didn’t intend it.
