Profile

Origin

Arsène is named after the gentleman thief Arsène Lupin, created by French author Maurice Leblanc in 1905. Arsène Lupin is featured in many novels and short stories, flouting the law but sometimes helping others. Famously, this gentleman thief outwitted Leblanc's version of peerless fictional detective Sherlock Holmes, though later published versions used the pastiche name Herlock Sholmes. Arsène has a legacy full of tribute characters and media adaptations inspired by his character and exploits, including the repeated outwitting of detectives.
