"In possession of a Sacred Artifact that causes sanctified oil to overflow and cover everyone and everything in the vicinity, robbing combatants of their capability to attack each other. It also has mild healing properties, making him an advantageous party to any mediation within the gigantic guild capable of peacefully suppressing riots. He's both physically and spiritually tough and also has a strong sense of righteousness. He's a warrior people can depend on but often lets his guard down, resulting in capture or near-death. He was even more of a daredevil in the past, and he often complains to youngsters who are too straight-laced."
His sacred treasure which overflows with holy oil can cover whole places and all the people within, making both allies and enemies so slippery they're unable to fight as normal. Also it has a minor healing effect on wounds and played a part with the dispute mediation and moderate rebellion suppression that happened within the enormous guild. He is extraordinarily tough in both physical and mental respects, and his justice and humanity are abundant. He may be the soldier everyone relies on but he unusually has many instances of negligence, and the times he was carelessly imprisoned and brought to the brink of death are marks against him. He used to be even more reckless, giving much frank advice to those who were overly straight-laced.

His sacred treasure references the Shamshir-e Zomorrodnegar, a sword owned by King Solomon which was used to slay the demon Fulad-zereh
Notes
The Japanese wording of his Charge Skill in the game implies he gives Holy Oil to all enemies in a radius around him, but actually, what happens is he gives Holy Oil to all allies around him, and only enemies hit and damaged by his Charge Skill get Holy Oil applied. Enemies 1 square away from Arslan do not get Holy Oil applied.
The demerit of Arslan applying Holy Oil to enemies with his Charge Skill is not as bad as one might think. Just like debuffs, buffs on the enemy countdown by 1 at the start of the enemies turn. This means any Holy Oil given to the enemy will countdown from 2 to 1 right away, and then from 1 to 0 on their next turn. In other words, the healing effects of Holy Oil only lasts 1 turn for the enemy. And if you have Arlan attack last, the defense boost only affects the enemy for just 1 turn as well.
