I think for Arno, his full name will be Arnaud Clément Éloi "Arno" Durant. I feel it rolls off the tongue best, and best matches what I want his journey to feel like. I might add a secondary Assassin Antagonist that's named Félix Lestrange/L'Estrange.

I'm debating on making Arno a French Ezio, and have him be born in 1759 (or maybe the early 1760s up to 1764) and be almost supernaturally fit for a 56 yeat old man in 1815, that way he can be the wise Master Assassin for Napoleon's era, as well as meet philosophes.

Also we need to talk about the nobility of his mother's family again. I'm not sure which titles I'd prefer, and for my assurance, you did say his nobility could be both matrilineal and Nobles of the Sword (noblesse d'épée) or Military Nobility (noblesse militaire). Wikipedia describes military nobility as "Noblesse militaire (military nobility): person or family made noble by holding military offices, generally after two or three generations." So I have a question: I'm not family historically of when noblesse militaire became a thing, like could Arno, being born in the mid-seventeenth century be the a noblesse militaire, because I like the idea of him being more closely related to the "source" of his family nobility?

Also my chat bugged after a really badass line you had for his Swiss Merc father, about how he was so proficient that he was well regarded or something even after a specifc corp got super badass despite his age or something. I was hoping you'd remember it, so that could hint at Arno's long enduring badassery, and also give a hint of reputation preceding his father prior to their meeting.
