Dr. Arthur Watts is described as a “disgraced Atlesian scientist” by Raven, and Cinder dismisses him with: “Fly back home and tinker with your machines.”

His trademark “W” is visible both on Cinder’s scroll and at Lionheart’s desk, and points to him as the creator of the “Black Queen” virus that Cinder uploaded to Beacon’s CCT Tower.

In addition, his name and character inspiration further hint at some sort of electricity/technology-based abilities. He has not yet participated in any sort of combat situation, though he has a casual, arrogant air about him even when entering the hostile Branwen Bandits’ camp, and Lionheart is easily cowed by his presence (even if it is as a representative of Salem).
