Arsène is a Persona in the Persona series. It is the initial Persona of the protagonist of Persona 5, Ren Amamiya.
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.

I am thou, thou art I… Thou who art willing to perform all sacrilegious acts for thine own justice! Call upon my name, and release thy rage! Show the strength of thy will to ascertain all on thine own, though thou be chained to Hell itself!." Persona 5.
