Arno

Arno is a character that appears in the Ascendance of a Bookworm series.

Arno serves Ferdinand as an attendant.

Before becoming one of Ferdinand's attendants, Arno was an attendant of the previous director of the orphanage, sister Margaret, alongside Fran.

Much like Fran, he takes his responsibilities seriously and carries his orders out with efficiency being a top priority. While he doesn't openly show any distaste for Fran, he holds against Fran and secretly enjoys seeing Fran silently suffer in awkward situations.

Arno was the one who made the suggestion that Main could use the Orphanage Director's chambers as her own.

The two main reasons why there was an attack on the temple to capture Main was that Arno told people that Ferdinand was not available and also Aud Jilvester was at the House of Lords meeting. The High Bishop took to what Arno said as to mean the Ferdinand was not in the Temple. Arno had been told by Ferdinand, that he did not want to be disturbed. Arno took this literally and even with the attacks in the Temple he did not disturb Ferdinand in his secret room.

It is never specifically stated Arno is dead but Main is surprised that Arno is not Ferdinand's main attendant any more after the attacks and it is mention that he took the stairway, which is hinted to him for being killed.
