Appearance:
Arnold is a mildly tall man with a slender, yet lean posture. He stands at six feet and five inches, weighing in at one-hundred and seventy-six pounds. During the day when he works inside the Rukongai, he adorns a brown leather vest over a tan short-sleeve shirt. He has this thick belt of plated metal that allows for full mobility, minimal protection and a handy place to sheathe his sword. Latched onto the metal bind is a leather extension equipped with handmade pockets. On the tail of this extension are a row of custom shortend tassels that hang over the backside of his brown pants. Instead of shoes, he wears leather bindings that wrap his feet and are exactly identical to his arm bands in every way.Spoiler

{-Normal Attire}
During the night or when traversing the Wastelands, Arnold adorns a specific battle attire. The coloration of the suit revolves around darkened black or gray colors, optimizing stealth. The fabric of his jacket is leather, almost always open and unzipped so underneath his shirt is visible, though is just as black as the night without any sort of wording or images on it. To match the rest of his attire he wears normal black slacks and jetblack running shoes.
The last, most notable feature is his mask. He adorns two sets, his fragmented original piece and an exact replica copy that he himself forged. The fragmented mask is partial, a sliver of broken bone that pierces the center of his nose and protrudes out each nostril. The decorative mask resembling his former Adjuchas-self is made identically in the shape of a bull's skull with two dark black horns.Spoiler

Hollow Hole: Right side of the chest
Personality:
Arnold is not like the other Hollow. Where they savagely wish to feed, he only needs to feed. To him, he refers to the nature of Hollow as 'the hunger' and to some extent treats it as an addiction. The want to eat meat is ever so present and never subsiding, and although proportionally larger than normal Rukon or Shini, he has learned to satisfy this by simply eating more but in a peaceful manner. When Arnold eats, he usually prefers the largest table in the house. Not because it is accommodating to any guests he might bring along, but moreso because it is accommodating towards his need for plate-space. yes, plate-place. depending on how large the table is, his portion will usually fill it entirely. Generally it's a rule of thumb to not eat uncooked meat because people find it an oddity, so most of the time when eating publicly he will reluctantly order it cooked at the shortest amount of time cooked. There is literally nothing wrong with cooked meat, other than the fact that it's cooked. He prefers raw, bloody portions as it's what he was commonly used to before the change from Adjuchas into Arrancar.
Arnold is very comfortable with himself and so he is able to express emotion, or make a point known with ease. Evenly though he was once an animal with barbaric intent, he has since evolved into a socially, clearly thinking person. And as a result of this he was able to more blend in with the society of humans. Given his strong, unwavering and forever withstanding attitude in battle, he made quite the Borderlands Defender, that is until one day he left under suspicion that the citizens around him were catching onto his little act. He used the Defenders as an outlet for his power, he would surge all his hate and hunger into acts of violence through the missions he either led or executed. And so being quite beastly and savage in appearance had not helped or made the Citizen's stomach settle any less. Knowing this, he made his leave and began working in another district, the 2nd. This is where he learned about life.. and how much he enjoyed destroying it.
He's extremely decisive and diligent when it comes to killing. He could kill someone and destroy every trace of evidence due to how thorough he feels the need to be. With the Third Division advancing in methods and practices everyday, so does Arnold. He learns via intense observation, almost like stalking the Shinigami. Though in his mind, it's all dedicated research to staying alive. Another fraction of his persona is his rat-pack, or hoarder, side. He has a basement as large as his inn, but filled with boxes upon boxes of data collected. Mostly outdated, but because he feels it's his life in those boxes, rather than just papers, Arnold holds onto them dear. Plus one section isn't totally useless and is one he utilizes constantly, this is the rankings guide, complete with names and bios. Whether it's adding or merely researching, he's almost always in the basement when at the Inn. Like his little workshop of knowledge.
Contesting with the his skill to kill is the intellectual part of his persona. Given his fascination with tinkering combined with his unique imagination of creativity, he is a natural born creator. And the oddity of it is, is that he uses these gifts of creation to destroy life, a creation of the Awareness. Given the time of place, his creations are basic and primitive but one day, they would lead to be the base of major structures, gizmos and gadgets.

History:
5000ow - First generation of humanoid bulls are created in the form of (fabeled) gigantic Hollows, an alliance in the form of a clan is created
1255ow - Born into the clan's generation of smaller humanoid bulls
1nw - Becomes the first Arrancar of the clan
500nw - Moves to the Rukongai
800nw - Begins building and creating
1000nw - Starts keeping records and tabs on Shinigami and Citizens
Born off a long lineage of warbound, battle-hungry bulls, one would think Arnold would have lived the same fate. Though being born of a smaller variety, and having evolved into an Arrancar, he had not much fit in with the others anymore. Not being exiled, or banned, he just sort of left. Arnold moved to the Rukongai, tasked himself to the Defenders and raised enough money to buy a small building in a valley of the second district, set alongside a road frequently traveled. After creating a stable environment to live in, he retired and began, at first, toying around with things. Taking apart and rebuilding. Until one day he started creating objects and designs unique to his touch and imagination. This eventually led to a secondary income of salary, as he would secretively deal out his creations to rebels and bandits of the like. Getting his toes dipped into that world led to the learning of Shinigami, at which he would begin to personally document along with the Citizens
