Life is an exceptional thing. Arnold was humane, pragmatic and firm — then again, he was a just consider a British bobby in uniform, not a detective. The private investigator, so much extolled for acumen; he was cunning, but no more. There is no method in his proceedings, beyond the method of the moment. The results attained by him are not infrequently surprising, but for the most part, are brought about by simple diligence and activity. When these qualities are unavailing, his schemes more or less fail. Arnold, for example, was a good guesser, and the persevering man. But, without educated thought, he erred continually by the very intensity of his investigations. He impaired his vision by holding the object too close. He might see, perhaps, one or two points with unusual clearness, but in so doing he, necessarily, lost sight of the matter as a whole.
Born in 1997, Arnold brought to light his love for criminal investigation when he was a lad. His mother never understood his interest in death and murder scenes, yet nevertheless, he always had an eye for those kinds of things. Though his life didn't go quite how he expected, especially when the Bureau he worked for discovered his gift.
From birth to present day, Arnold has always been an outsider, misunderstood; never fits in. Either by circumstance or by endowment. Arnold could be considered so marginalized that, in a movie, he'd always be casted and portrayed as the loner. Yet it’s this aspect of Arnold's mentality that not only allows his very few associates to empathize and connect. This single concept gives him his edge in solving crime. Many a times he's hidden this aspect of himself from others. It’s typically only the his family and, in this case, the victims that realize it.
""Darkness took me. And I strayed out of thought and time. Stars wheeled overhead, and every day was as long as the life age of the earth. But it was not the end. I felt light in me again."
Arnold was quite exceptional, with his prowess in the arts of Omni-Presence, or Absolute Sight. He discovered his supernatural ability in a dream, one night, when his father was murdered and he 'saw' who took his creators life. After he had fallen through every place and every time that he could ever imagine, he began to fall through the places that his mind could not conceive. He passed into structures that did not follow geometry, saw shapes that had no edges or sides, that extended into themselves and into all directions. He saw triangles with one hundred eighty one degrees. He saw minds that had no reason or morality. He saw colors indescribable to others. He saw the true shapes of his dreams, and the ten dimensions of the earth and sky. He saw what no one saw, felt what no one felt. He heard sounds with his finger tips, and tasted with his ears. He had secrets whispered to him in a language that can't be translated. This was the truth to his sight; this was his gift. The ability to perceive anything and everything.
Limitations
Arnold could and can be overloaded by what they perceive.
While Arnold may perceive anything and everything, he may not have innate ability to understand it.
