Arsene (アルセーヌ, Arsene) is the initial Persona of Joker in Persona 5. The source of Joker's supernatural abilities, he represents the dark side of Joker's soul.
Origin
Arsene is the personification of the darker side of Joker's soul, expressing righteous indignation for his mistreatment and desiring retribution against those responsible. Personas exist within all people, but without the right catalyst, a person usually goes their whole life unable to learn about their existence. After Joker's friend Ryuji is nearly killed, Arsene is able to make contact with Joker and form a contract with him. From there, he grants Joker his supernatural abilities to combat malevolent forces.
Arsene is based off of the character Arsène Lupin from a series of novels written by Maurice Leblanc. He was known for targeting criminals or those who were much worse than himself, making him an anti-hero of sorts within his own stories.
Role in the Super Smash Bros. series
Arsene was present in Joker's reveal trailer; given he is the source of Joker's abilities, it is heavily implied he will play a role in Joker's moveset.

Trivia
- Arsene is the second major character in the Super Smash Bros. series to not originate from a video game, after R.O.B.
- This is excluding characters such as Dracula, Odin, and Dr. Kawashima, who, unlike Arsene, do not make playable appearances.
