Which father did it say gave it to him? If it's his adopted Templar Grandmaster father, then it's possible that Elise was his daughter. That would mean that she is his adopted sister & they could still be in love. It would also explain why he would have the initials of both their names on his pocketwatch. If it's Arno's actual father's pocket watch then I don't know. Maybe he made it for Arno when he was already close to Elise?
