A twenty year old former street rat trying to make a living, Arthur was an orphan by the time he was eight. He lived in a workhouse for a short period of time, less than a year, before realizing that the life of a petty criminal was far better than working his fingers to the bone daily for meager earnings, if any. While living on the streets he amassed a small group of fellow urchins and together they carved out a living. Now as an adult he's trying his hand at honest work to provide for the urchins still under his care.
