Ubisoft writer says Arno feels "like an actual person."

In a new blog post Ubisoft is giving fans a good idea about who the game's hero Arno is. The information comes from Assassin's Creed Unity single-player scriptwriter Travis Stout, who is in charge of the the game's overarching story.

"His family is a very old one and they've been Assassins for a very long time so we wanted to give him a slightly more antiquated name," Stout said, pointing out that the name Arno has French/Germanic roots. "Also, the phonetic spelling makes it easier to pronounce."

While describing his personality and character traits, Stout said Arno is a complicated, multifaceted man who is seeking to right wrongs and blaze his own trail.

"He is a very driven young man. He is haunted by mistakes in his past or perceived mistakes, that he feels he must atone for," Stout said. "He is very devoted to the Assassin Order as an ideal but, at the same time, he is not as impressed with the weight of the long mystical tradition and ancient rhetoric as some of the other Assassins. He likes to think for himself and make his own decisions. He isn't the type of person who will believe something just because someone tells it to him."

Stout also points out that Arno comes from a noble family and is "very well-educated young man."

"He has a habit of quoting the classics and tends to use humor to deflect when he is emotionally vulnerable, like a lot of people do I think," Stout said. "We very much wanted him to not be the sort of grizzled badass spouting one-liners that you see in a lot of action movies. We wanted him to feel like an actual person."

Assassin's Creed Unity launches October 28 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.
