Character Name: Arthur
Canon: Inception (2010 movie)
Canon Link: 1, 2, and a brief write-up:

Arthur's first spotted on a job with Cobb, working two layers deep in the subconscious of the wealthy and powerful Mr. Saito. The job goes badly, and when they attempt to flee the country under threat of death from their employers, Cobol Engineering, they're stalled by Saito, who offers Arthur and Cobb an escape from Cobol -- and for Cobb especially, a way back to the United States.

Saito wants Cobb and his team to plant an idea in the subconscious of Saito's corporate rival, Robert Fischer, to keep him from overpowering Saito's company. This tactic is called inception and is thought to be impossible by most people in the dream-sharing business. Regardless, they accept the job and form a team of six people consisting of Cobb, Arthur, Saito, Ariadne, Yusuf, and Eames.

TL;DR: Saito is shot and ends up in Limbo, Fischer is also shot and also ends up in Limbo, Arthur has to fight a slew of armed men to keep the rest of the team safe from harm, and Cobb and Ariadne go to Limbo purposefully to retrieve both Fischer and Saito. In the end, they barely pull off the job, and Cobb gets to go home to his kids. Yay, team. Meanwhile, Arthur stands around and looks totally hot in a suit.

SO, BASICALLY, Arthur plays the part of the very disgruntled babysitter of the primary protagonist, Dominick Cobb. He's not actually his babysitter, sure, and he's nowhere near responsible for him, but he is seen hovering warily over Cobb's shoulder for about 90% of the movie.

Concerning Arthur's history prior to Inception, not much has been revealed. Most likely, Arthur's been working with Cobb for many years, and if he didn't immediately flee the States with Cobb following the unexpected death of Cobb's wife, Mallorie, he met up with him at a later date to resume his work with him. Arthur is Cobb's designated "point man," and he serves as the planner of the group: he's the man who ties up all the loose ends, who digs up the dirty little details his targets don't want him (or anyone else) to know about. In the Fischer/inception job, there were three levels to the dream, and Arthur played the biggest part in the second level: he distracted the projections of Fischer's mind and kept them occupied while Cobb and the rest of the team completed the job on Fischer.

Arthur was also well acquainted with Mallorie, given how he (briefly!) speaks of her to Ariadne, and how he reacts/responds to Cobb's projection of her.

Post-Inception, Arthur's back in the States and is no longer working with Cobb. Whether he stays in the dream-sharing business or moves on, we're not sure, buuuuuut. Given how much he enjoys his work and how fascinated he is by it, it's doubtful that he'd retire with Cobb, even with his professional attachment to him.
