Early Life
"The gallant prince: Arth Lucifen d'Autriche. He governed opposite of his father, the king, declaring war on our neighboring countries one after the other, and began expanding his territory. Every man praised him, longing to be him. And every woman desired to be his wife."

- Prim Marlon regarding Arth's youth

Born in the Kingdom of Lucifenia in EC 457 as a member of the Lucifenian Royal Family, Prince Arth met Prim Rogzé and her best friend, Anne Swee, during his childhood, becoming close friends with them. Sometime in the early EC 470s, Arth and his parents were in an accidnet involving their carrigae falling from a cliff within Elphegort's Forest of Bewilderment.

Afterward, Arth declared war upon their neighbors, Asmodean and Beelzenia, one after the other and invaded. Beginning to expand Lucifenia's territories, the courageous young Prince became famous within the kingdom. At some point, he fell in love with Anne and asked her to be his wife. She accepted and the two married with Prim's blessing.

Legacy
In the years following his demise, Arth was remembered as a strong ruler and powerful leader for the Kingdom of Lucifenia. Not long after his death, a political struggle broke out between ministers over the right of succession after Minister Presi forged a will claiming Princess Riliane was Arth's true successor. In the wake of the incident, the King's heir, Prince Alexiel, was entrusted to Leonhart as his adopted child while the prince was publicly declared dead.

While the fighting between Lucifenia and its neighbors continued, Arth's conquests left Lucifenia the largest and most powerful nation in history. Although stabilized for years by his wife's rule for nearly a decade, the tyranny caused by Princess Riliane following her mother's death led to the Kingdom's swift decline, with starvation and crime becoming rampant. The Lucifenian Revolution in EC 500 ended the Lucifen dynasty and led to a Marlon occupation by Prim's son, King Kyle.

The child he unknowingly sired with Prim, Ney Marlon, became a tool used by her mother and her close compatriot, Abyss I.R., and eventually served as a spy in the royal palace to help undermine Riliane's rule. She later led Marlon's invasion of Beelzenia in EC 505 but failed in her conquest, later dying in Marlon after the Battle of Castle Hedgehog.

In history, Arth was famed in legend as the great king that spearheaded Lucifenia's conquests along with the Three Heroes. After the death of Shaw Freezis over a century later, Elluka recalled also losing Anne and Arth while mourning his death. When Elluka later confronted Fourth Shadow, the criminal mocked her resolve to stop Third Sleep Princess' Gift plague, pointing out Elluka's previous failure to save her dear friends from the Gula they had suffered from.

Personality and Traits
As King of Lucifenia, Arth was an ambitious ruler with a great deal of charisma. While considered childish, Arth still won the affection and respect of practically everyone he met. As a youth, he held a deep love for his country and desired to greatly expand it, hoping to make Lucifenia a powerful kingdom in Evillious.

Despite the scope of his conquests, he was inspirational to his subjects and supported throughout the bloody conflict by loyal followers. However, because of his ambition, Arth was also reckless, charging into a plague-ridden territory despite the risks, which ultimately led to his death. Regardless, he did show some restraint, such as his choice to not invade Elphegort for the tactical disadvantages.

Arth held a close bond to the Three Heroes and developed a lasting friendship with them, trusting them throughout their wartime efforts. He similarly held a close bond with his wife, although their marriage became strained due to their failure to produce children. While under the influence of the Venom Sword, Arth did enter a small affair with their old friend, Prim, and unknowingly had a child with her as a result. However, after Prim's departure, Arth remained faithful to Anne and later had children with her.

Skills and Abilities
"I've... always thought it. By that the character people're born with are like their capacity. I think it'd be amazing if you can unify Evillious. But, there're probably only a few people who can do it."

- General George Ausdin

Arth had a powerful presence, believed to even be capable of uniting all of Evillious under his banner. As a military commander, Arth dealt largely in all-out offensives, directing his soldiers to overwhelm his opponents. Despite this, he recognized geography's role in protecting his enemies and discarded Elphegort from his attack plans because of the forest protecting it. During his lifetime, Arth also learned the art of swordplay and became proficient with using a blade, earning fame on the battlefield as a result.

The two held a close relationship, with Anne eventually birthing Arth's children; despite this, Arth's marriage with Anne was not always a happy one, with Arth growing distant at times over the course of the war and cheating on her under the influence of the Venom Sword.

Prim Marlon: A childhood friend of Arth's. The two were friends over the course of Arth's youth, however their relationship became distant after Prim was suspected of poisoning Arth's wine glass. Due to the influence of the Venom Sword, Arth's feelings for Prim became passionately romantic, prompting their affair. Despite their complex relationship, Arth was in favor of uniting their houses with Riliane's marriage to Kyle.

Elluka Clockworker: One of Arth's subordinates. Arth found Elluka's magical abilities useful in battle and the two formed a close friendship, with Elluka defecting to aid the former. This bond continued until Arth's death during the war.

Mariam Futapie: One of Arth's subordinates. Arth was impressed by Mariam's skills in espionage and assassination at such a young age and formed a close friendship with her after the latter defected. This bond continued until Arth's death during the war.

Leonhart Avadonia: One of Arth's subordinates. Arth relied on Leonhart's skill as a swordsman in battle and the two formed a close friendship over the course of the war; this bond continued until Arth's death during his invasion of Beelzenia.
