Arthur Boyle is a former Third Generation Fire Soldier of Tokyo's Special Fire Force Company 8. Arthur is a young man of average height and lean but muscular build with shaggy blonde hair and blue eyes with white pupils, similar to Shinra. He tends to style his hair upwards into a ponytail when in a fight, so that his field of vision would be clearer. When Arthur was first introduced, he wore a dark jacket, with a button on his collar, shaped like a cross-like insignia, light shirt, dark pants, a belt and dark shoes. He was later presented with a bunker gear, a protective outer jacket and trousers. Arthur carries a scabbard alongside him, in which he keeps his blade-less sword. Parts of his outfit, are coated with blue lines. Arthur wore a dark green jumper with a hoodie, which he put on his head instead of a helmet. The buttons of his protective jacket are in the shape of cross-like symbols. Arthur's outfits contain patches with "8" on them, to signify his affiliation to the 8th Special Fire Brigade. He also dons a neck protector and protective gloves. When attiring the 8th bunker gear, Arthur chooses not to wear the helmet, as it doesn't fit his image of a knight. Currently, after battling with Dragon Arthur lost his left forearm as well as gained a large scar across his right eye. After his final strike against Dragon, Arthur lost his entire lower half of his body. He later seemed to have regenerated his lower half. Arthur is confident in himself as a Third Generation pyrokinetic, so much that he appears arrogant and cocky all the time, notably for his habit of refusing to use honorific speech regardless of who he is talking to. Arthur has a habit of repeatedly saying "Hmph" in response to people, coming across as stubborn or dismissive. Due to his attitude and casual demeanor, Arthur tends to make bad impressions on people. But like the other fire soldiers, He was shown not to be bothered by human antics and Arthur is usually nonchalant even while struggling in fights. According to Shinra Kusakabe, he is popular with the girls and seems to always have a silent and mysterious façade, though Shinra thinks he's just too stupid to articulate anything. Arthur often bickers with Shinra about almost anything, starting with which are superior: knights or heroes. In spite of this and constantly calling Shinra a 'Devil', Arthur is able to effectively work with Shinra as a team. He also has faith in Shinra's heroism and strength, even helping him regain them at times, but chooses to express it very rarely. Arthur often disregards orders and common sense to do things his own way, such as charging in ahead extinguishing Infernals while leaving his support team behind. He has a fantasist-like complex, potentially as a way of coping with parents abandoning him and the dangers of the world. These fantasies cause him to act like a mediaeval knight, and to the ordinary person, he may appear idiotic or deluded. Arthur's strong sense of justice is correlated to his knightly persona but is a welcome trait among Fire Soldiers. This involves Arthur referring to the girls he meets as princesses and the Special Fire Cathedral 8 as his castle. Arthur sees the world in a different light; he believes the pigeons to be griffons and that he was successful in slaying dragons. Arthur takes great pride in Excalibur, and in his personal tool's absence, his power is directly linked to how "knightly" he feels, which includes how sword-like any acquired tool look. Damaging or losing it causes him to lose most of his confidence and leaves him disillusioned until it can be repaired. As a Knight, Arthur possess an incredible determination. Something showcased time and time again as refuses to surrender in any serious bout, fighting until he is unable to stand even if it kills him. Because of this strength and seeing wonder in a cruel world Arthur is able to find hope or enjoyment in the most dire situations. Other than his eccentric demeanor and obsession with the medieval, Arthur is also known for his lack of intelligence, repeatedly been referred to as an idiot. This mockery turns out to be true, as he is utterly incapable of anything of requires heavy thinking, quickly burning out from paperwork and he is unable to generate or comprehend complex strategies. As a result Arthur relies on his natural combat instincts to fight. However his instincts have sometimes proven to be more valuable than intelligence, such as recognizing when one of the twins was fake when no one else could, and defeating a member of the white clad using his instincts and training he received from Benimaru. Above all else, Arthur's delusions of wonderful fantasy and simplemindedness mean that he enjoys his life to the absolute fullest and cannot despair about his situation. According to Haumea, Arthur is the Fourth Pillar's Guardian. This is proven when he snapped Shinra out of despair, as well as giving him hope and not giving up, as Shinra is the only one who shouldn't give up. Even reminding him who he is, and that he is a hero.
