Arthur Watts

"What about her? Seems to me that this is Cinder’s problem, not ours."

- Doctor Watts on Cinder's concern for Ruby Rose.

Arthur Watts, also referred to as Doctor Watts, is an antagonist introduced in Volume 4 of RWBY. He is an associate of Salem and part of her inner circle.

He is voiced by Christopher Sabat, who is also the voice of Vegeta.

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 blouse, a black necktie and brown fingerless gloves.

Volume 4
In "The Next Step", Watts attends a meeting at Salem's Domain with fellow associates Tyrian, Cinder and Hazel. Watts taunts Cinder for her "failure" at Beacon Academy and loss to Ruby Rose, but is stopped when Salem enters the room. Salem asks Watts why he gives Cinder constant malignance, as the mission at Beacon was a success and she had become the new Fall Maiden. Watts refers to Ruby, stating that defeating a "novice" like her should've been effortless even without the Maiden's power. Watts is later instructed to meet with Salem's associate in Mistral while Cinder receives "treatment", to which he complies.

In "No Safe Haven", Watts is seen drinking tea and speaking with Salem's associate, who's revealed to be the headmaster of Haven Academy, Professor Lionheart.

Personality
Watts is formal and speaks in a refined accent. However, he is also arrogant and condescending, even to his allies. Watts also states that he has a low opinion of failure, chastising Cinder for letting herself be defeated by Ruby Rose and constantly mocking her and her condition. He also looks down on underlings, referring to Mercury and Emerald as "posse" and telling Cinder to keep them in check.

Powers and Abilities
Watts has yet to be shown in combat, but given that Salem refers to him as "Doctor", it appears he has knowledge and experience in the field.

Trivia
