Following the end of the Second Alliance-PLANT War, Arthur was among the members of ZAFT escorting the new PLANT Chairwoman Lacus Clyne, standing next to Yzak Joule, Dearka Elsman and Shiho Hahnenfuss.[4]
After the war, Arthur handed the remaining personal belongings of Gladys to her son, William. During their time together, they reminisce of the late captain, as well as discussed her actions. The two eventually promised to drink together once William comes of legal age.[5]
