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.

Game Appearances
Arsène is present in the Casino prologue as ‘???’ during the battles, with only the skills Eigaon and Brave Blade.
When the protagonist watches Shadow Kamoshida order Ryuji Sakamoto’s death, Arsène speaks to him before the protagonist awakens.[1]
During the initial fight with two Shadows, Arsène encourages the protagonist to do what he wants.[2] Later, the player may use Arsène in fusion, for which he has special dialogue.
Arsène is included as DLC in Persona 3 Reload, available through the Persona 5 Royal Persona Set 1.

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.
