Raised on the idea of honor and nobility, Arthur is a consummate doer of good. Unwilling to walk away from a soul in need and quick to protect the weak, Arthur can be brash and quick tempered when he feels an injustice has occurred. Fiercely loyal and recklessly brave, his eagerness to test his mettle often leads to a share of scar and broken bones that he faces with a smile of near glee when such conflicts come.

History
From his youth, Arthur Claymore heard the tall tales of his father Frederick Claymore who spoke of his time as a warrior and a knight. A hero, it was said, who faced countless perils in his time to protect a "King" of unknown name and origin. Frederick would often regale his young son with tales of great deeds he had performed in his service until the fall of the Kingdom of which a name was never offered. Frederick would tell his young son that he dare not speak the name of the King or the Kingdom lest his old enemies would hear of him and come fore his wife and son.
Young Arthur never doubted his father's grandiose claims of fighting great monsters and legendary beasts, especially as his father would often embark on such dangerous journeys as a bodyguard for those wayward travelers who came to Fellsgard and Verdant Row. But the innocence of youthful wonder is quickly lost as reality leaves its bitter touch on the heart. Frederick was certainly a strong warrior and he took his son as a squire training the boy from the age of seven to wield a blade and the finer points of inner discipline. Mornings were spent training in the art of body and blade, while his evenings were spent studying the path of meditation and reflections of the mind.
"A true knight is a warrior whose harmonized body, spirit, and mind into a single weapon of self." His father would often chide him whenever he felt a desire for rest. Arthur's world changed in his fifteenth winter, when his father failed to return and left him an orphan, his mother having died before he could remember her face. With only the ideal of his father's legend to guide him, Arthur now fulfills the path his father once did. Offering his service as a protector and a mercenary, though quick to reject the offers of those who seek his blade to do harm unjustly to others.
