History
Arthur is the first officer of the Minerva. Much of his role is to provide comic relief. He appears to be friends with Captain Gladys. At the Battle of Messiah, Gladys told him to look after everyone when the Minerva was damaged and crashed on the Moon. Following the end of the Second Alliance-PLANT War, Arthur is seen in Special Edition IV as a black coat officer. He is among the members of ZAFT behind Lacus Clyne, standing next to Dearka, Yzak and Shiho.
During the Omake Quarters Drama CD, Arthur hands the remaining personal belongings of Gladys to her son, William. During their time together, they reminisce of the late captain, as well as discuss her actions. The two eventually promise to drink together once William comes of legal age.
