Arthur is Cobb’s friend, and that’s why he agrees with him and accepts Saito’s mission, even if he insists that it can’t be done and it takes too much risk. Where Cobb is the man with the big ideas, Arthur is the person that works to make them possible. He minimizes the risk; he researches all the important information, works on the details and makes sure nothing unexpected will happen and bite them in the ass. He’s aware of Mal’s presence in Cobb’s mind, and while he doesn’t know how much the shadow of his wife is affecting Cobb, he is still there risking his life so Cobb can get his kids back.
He is professional and organized, and most of all, he loves his job. While he wants things to be in order, the world he creates in his dreams are not always like that. His constructions are post-industrial modernist, with straight lines and sober decorations, but at the same time he likes to add impossible paradoxes like the Penrose stairs or macabre art.
Arthus’s personality is a perfect mix of the Architect and the Protector types from the Keirsey Temperament Sorter. His emotions aren’t easy to read, but he is not afraid of vocalize them when it’s needed. He often responds in a condescending tone (but never openly disrespectful) when he’s addressing someone he doesn’t like or who is getting on his nerves. This trait is more noticeable when Eames is around, but both seems to tone down their banter when it’s time for some serious work. At the same time, he doesn’t mind acting like a guinea pig for them (he is pushed around a lot while Yusuf tests the new sedative), or making sure no one gets hurt or is left behind.
He’s used to thinking and reacting quickly, and he prefers to know everyone’s roles and aids to avoid unexpected problems; however, he is not perfect and he misses information, too (such as Fischer’s mind being military trained to stop possible invasions).
Other:
His totem is a weighted red dice. He knows judo and self defense, he’s good with explosives and weapons (close range way more than farther range), and he can also kick ass even in zero-gravity.
