loadedparadoxAs part of an addendum to this "How I Play Arthur" post!
On the subject of Arthur and Eames: Way back when, before Mal's death, the boys worked together more often. There was a lot of the same banter as now, but without as much of a sharp edge. They were actually becoming a bit more close than friends should be when Mal snapped, plummeting to her death. It had more of an effect on Arthur than he'd ever show, and he walked away from a lot of things out of pain and a need to be there for Cobb. Including Eames. Now the banter is less teasing and a lot more subtle attacks.
On the Subject of Arthur's past before dream sharing: Yes, he was part of the syndicate both before and after his father's death. He won't talk about it often. He won't tell many of the details, especially if pressed. The truth is, he has killed and nearly been killed. He's fought for his life, and destroyed financial empires. He likes being a pointman though, and to him that is who and what he is.
On the Subject of Sexuality: Though Arthur never talks about this, he is bisexual. He's never really dated anyone, though there was a time when he was a lot more open sexually - usually through one night stands and casual encounters. After the emotions that arose with Eames, things changed though and he has been a lot more withdrawn sexually, changing himself and focusing on work. Mal's death, Dom's obsession, Ariadne's spirit, and Eames' return to his life has changed a lot of things in his emotional life, some of which he hasn't worked out.
On the Subject of Names: Arthur always has that Christian name as his name on any of his long term identification. Outside of temporary papers, his last name is listed as one of four names, none of which are likely to be his real name: Tibbord, Westbrook, Easton and Darling. Yes, Darling.
