Arthur, called 'Arty' by the few people who are actually fond of him, is a Human born on Briori - a world originally belonging to a race of empirical alien overlords who brought captive Humans from 1930's Earth to serve as slave labor. Hundreds of years after they overthrew their masters, the Humans now call themselves Briori and control a small sector of space around their planet.

When Arthur was a boy, the planet was visited by The Voyagers (USS Voyager). Since then, there has been a radical shift in Briori society - with some embracing their rediscovered Earthly heritage and the awakening of The 37s and others terrified of the encroaching Federation and the loss of Briori's unique culture. Arthur considers himself neutral on this issue.

Regardless, this discovery revealed an insatiable hunger for knowledge in Arthur, who took quite naturally to journalism. His long-time friend, Joe Lewiston, and he would end up working for the Briori Sun news outlet - Joe later becoming the Editor in Chief. Lewiston, however, is staunchly anti-Federation. Following a rift between the two men, Arthur has since declared himself independent.

Arthur may come across to some as old-fashioned, particularly in matters related to journalistic integrity or manners (hearkening back to the revival of 1930's culture on Briori). All the same, many find him oddly charming. He is often accompanied by his Talaxian friend and holo-photographer, Pix.

Keehani Ukinix Amity Outpost Grudging Respect Both cause a great deal of annoyance to one another - and yet they both seem to want to like the other. Arthur may not admit it, but he greatly admires Keehani's 'no-BS' attitude.
Rivi Vataix Amity Outpost Confused Respect Arthur's not quite sure why Rivi seems to like him or seek out his opinions when everyone else acts so adversarial with him. All the same, he's happy to bend the Ambassador's ear when he gets the chance - and even sort of admires her.
Ikaia Wong Amity Outpost Unlikely Friends Initially cold to one another, the two grew far closer during a collaborative investigation of Food Poisoning on the Outpost. Arthur now greatly appreciates Wong - or, as he refers to him, "Kid."
Pix Amity Outpost Friends / Colleagues Arthur's trusted right-hand man and advisor, Pix has traveled the stars with Summerside for some time now. Despite Arthur's frequent jabs at Pix, he is truly fond of the Talaxian and isn't planning on parting with him any time soon.
