Arthur Watts

Doctor Watts is an antagonist in RWBY who was introduced in "The Next Step". He is an associate of Salem and part of her inner circle.

Appearance
Watts is a man with short black and gray hair. He also has a mustache and green eyes. He wears a dark blue overcoat with yellow linings, with a yellow-buttoned black undercoat, yellow dress shirt, a black necktie and brown fingerless gloves.

Personality
Watts is formal and speaks in a refined accent. However, he is also arrogant and condescending, even to his allies.

Watts states that he has a low opinion of failure, which apparently extends to Cinder Fall after she was defeated by Ruby Rose. He criticizes and belittles Cinder and enjoys provoking her, especially since she cannot talk back. He also looks down upon her underlings, Emerald Sustrai and Mercury Black. Salem chastises him for his needless "malignance". However, he avoids speaking out of line in Salem's presence.

Abilities and Powers
Watts' abilities have yet to be seen. He may have expertise in some field given that Salem refers to him as a Doctor.
