Events of Criminal Case
Meeting Chief Wright
Chief Wright asked Charles and Maddie to pick up the player from the docks and send them to the Squad's airship. However, the murder of Frank Vogel prevented this from happening. Later, Chief Wright stopped by the airship but left for a soirée before he could brief the player on the Squad's primary mission.
He finally formally met the player after Nellie Mortimer was arrested, informing them that the Squad was an independent unit that branched off the Concordian Police Department after the police was seen to be riddled with corruption. Furthermore, the Squad's primary mission was to catch any police member seen violating the law. Later, Maddie and the player suspected Officer Raines of taking bribery from Walter Lombardi so he would not report him brewing illegal moonshine. Chief Wright and the player talked to Officer Raines, who admitted to the bribery. Chief Wright then dismissed him from the force.
Let Me Down Gently
After arresting Lucrezia Capecchi's killer, Chief Wright was spoken to regarding progress made into Diego del Lobo, who was suspected of being a thief. Though the player and Isaac were unable to find evidence to arrest him, they did discover he would be attending Mr Alastor's next party, a séance. When asked if an invitation could be requested from Mr Alastor, Chief Wright said that may be difficult since he did not know of Mr Alastor's identity, nobody else would. Additionally, Alastor did not even attend his own soirées. But when it was mentioned that it would take place in the Museum of Art, Chief Wright said their entry would be guaranteed since the curator was a good friend of his.
The Higher You Rise
Arthur became a suspect in the murder of Celine Georges after Isaac and the player found his gun close to the body. He was saddened at another murder occurring, saying he had secured the scene and likely dropped the pistol in all the confusion. Arthur explained he was strolling around the exhibition when he heard a scream coming from the tower; once he saw the body he dispatched Constable Ramirez immediately. But even with that explanation, he knew he had to be treated as a suspect, but told the player to continue the investigation like any other.
Arthur's scrapbook containing the obituaries of the officers who died under his command.
Arthur was spoken to again about a message he wrote on obituaries of officers that used to be under his command, which read "If Spark wins, this will never happen again!" He truly believed the suit could prevent further tragedies like those in the obituaries, given that the suit has defensive capabilities. Because of this, he felt it was imperative that Stanley won, so the Exo-Suit would go into mass production. When Isaac suggested he might have killed Celine to lift this weight off his shoulders, Arthur simply said the evidence will speak for itself.
Arthur was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated Eleanor Halsted for Celine's murder and sabotaging the inventions. After arresting her, they reported what happened to the Chief, and he was surprised that the corruption had spread so high up the ranks. Considering she was taking bribes from Stanley, Arthur wanted to see if she took any money from anyone else. With that in mind, he suggested that the player and Isaac return to the Crystal Palace in order to find any more clues.
Stick to Your Guns
After arresting Edna Owens' killer, Chief Wright wanted to speak with Isaac and the player. Considering the previous murders involved the police, he wanted to boost the police department's morale. To do so, he wanted to hold a ceremony for Edna Owens, and despite the ongoing gang wars, he felt it was a perfect time. So, he wanted the player and Isaac to find something that reminded people of how much Edna loved the police, so they decided to search the police armory.
Get Off Your High Horse
After arresting Anna Jewell's killer, Chief Wright asked Maddie and the player for their help. He explained that he had recently begun courting Bernadine Rochester and that he wanted to get her a gift. After they found one of Bernadine's embroideries, Diego suggested that the Chief should buy her a gold brooch or some emerald earrings. Later on, Chief Wright revealed that his date had gone well.
Talk of the Town
After arresting Joseph Pryor's killer, Diego and the player discovered that the Concordia Telephone Company was a sham. They then went to inform Chief Wright that the bonds were fake, and that the victim was behind the scam, most likely with the help of Leopold Rochester. Chief Wright and the player then went to apprehend Leopold at the Grand Concordia Hotel, where he admitted to being behind the fake company, leading to his arrest and the confiscation of his assets.
Tipping the Scales
After arresting Archie Rochester's killer, Isaac and the player asked him if he had promised the Rochesters their support after finding a diagram detailing so. He swore to them that he hadn't as, despite his attachment to Bernadine Rochester, his loyalty lay with the Squad. He then realized that only Thaddeus Mulroney, the new Police Commissioner, could have authorized their support. Chief Wright and the player then interrogated Thaddeus, where they discovered that he was responsible for giving the Rochesters the Squad's support after he decided to defect to the "winning side". Chief Wright then promised him that he would report him to the Deputy Mayor, before Thaddeus warned them to watch their backs.
The New Truth!
After Judge Takakura's killer, Florence Samuels, was sentenced to beheading by Mayor Lawson himself, Chief Wright said that they had to prevent her execution from happening. After Diego organized a prison break plan for Florence, he and the player reported to Chief Wright, who refused to hear the details so he could have plausible deniability if Lawson asked him about the breakout. Chief Wright then suggested that they sent Florence to the Redcliffe penal colony in Australia after they broke her out so she could serve a custodial sentence with manual labor instead of the death sentence she was to receive in Concordia.
After the prison break was successfully orchestrated, Mayor Lawson somehow found out about the plan and grilled Chief Wright and the player about it. Lawson said that he was not going to shut down the Squad yet because of all their work in the past. However, for defying him, he decided to revoke some of their privileges and ordered them to fire Diego or he would shut the Squad down immediately. Diego came quietly and decided to leave the Squad on his own volition, telling them not to attempt contact with him.
Inglorious Justice
Immediately after arresting Jane Pembroke's killer, Arthur called the player to his office with dire news. He recently received a telegram from Bernadine, saying they should stop seeing each other. Though Isaac remained skeptical of the importance given Justin Lawson's current agenda to execute political foes, Arthur said Bernadine fit that role perfectly and wanted to make sure she was alright. He agreed to look through the telegraph office with the player to retrace her steps, only to find that Bernadine ran off to the forest. They managed to find her, but she said she was going to turn herself into to Lawson. Arthur pleaded for her not to give herself up with the execution coming up, and swore to protect her no matter what.
Best Laid Plans
While Isaac and the player were in the resistance headquarters arresting Giulietta Capecchi for the murder of Inspector Jaubert, Mayor Lawson's goons in the Justice Corps stormed the airship and arrested the Squad, having gotten a tip-off from Officer Smythe that they were sympathetic to the resistance. While Charlie and Dick escaped, Chief Wright, along with his other Squad members, were arrested and thrown in a dungeon under the town square to await their execution the following day.
Later on, Charlie, Dick, Isaac, and the player were able to break into the dungeon and free Chief Wright and the rest of the Squad, along with the other political prisoners.

Gameplay
As the Chief of the Concordian Flying Squad, Arthur requires reports from three different "teammates" (friends who play Criminal Case and are recruited to the player's team) before he can let the player advance to the next case of Mysteries of the Past. Besides that, he notifies the player each time they level up in the season.
Also, the player may choose Arthur to join the investigation of each crime scene (in any Mysteries of the Past case) and provide hint bonuses. He is available as a 5-hint partner. (This feature is only available in the mobile variant of Criminal Case.)
