I don't think Arius was possibly a member of the Order of the Sword, although he could've send his corporate agents to obtain & steal secrets (research data, blueprints, artifacts, technology, whatever) from the Order so he can start hidden illegal projects & creates his own weapons including the Secretaries as he'd done it on his "visitation" of Dumary Island in search of the Arcanas (that "corporations send their agents" part was mentioned in the summary section of the official DMC2 game manuel). But again it's a theory. A very interesting theory but a theory none the less.
