It seems you made this guy to be both a partner and a complete polar oposite to Siegfried, that should be fun to write. However there are a few matters you might want to clear up on if you want to have this guy fit within the same realm as the show's canon characters:

First things first, a minor problem, is that he has aura infused armour, an aura infused sword and aura infused clothing, which would count as three weapons if we look at the show. So far we have seen only 2 weapons used by a show character at the same time (not counting duplicates like Ren's pistols or Penny's blades) and so to stay in the spirit of the show where instead of using many different weapons they use a single weapon that transforms into several forms it is smart to keep your weapon amount limited to 2 weapons as well. we also have yet to see any weapon have more than 3 modes in combat, so you might want to tweak that bit about his sword too.

Second point, this guy is Way beyond the skill level we've seen from the show's cast, even the teachers. While the ability to cut through steel like butter has been shown, being able to create bades of light that are five kilometers long is just insane. you see that scale of moves in Guren Lagann or Gundam, where you get giant mecha the size of buildings doing suff like that in the grand finale. For a 17 year old first year student to do it is just too much.You got to tone that ability down to more practical levels, so he wont cut down an entire village behind the Grimm he slices to pieces.

Third point would be the high amount of aura. You have to explain to me why he can't just have the regular amount? Because i dont see the point of saying he has a lot of it aside from making him nigh invincible. I mean what fun is there in writing someone when there is no threat in the combat until you get to like dozens of Grimm attacking in a horde, there wouldn't be much of a point to him being a studentif he is at that level of strength already.

Lastly, and most importantly, there is the issue with the name.

It is pretty obvious he is named after King Arthur, hell you just gave him the entire name. But it breaks the one rule Monty Oum himself gave the Fanbase for making original characters based on RWBY: They have to relate to a color.

I looked online for the origins of the name Arthur as well as into the legend of King arthur and could not find any specific color it would refer to. All the other issues I mentioned is just how we handle things on this site but the Color Name Rule is the one rule that is universal to the entire fanbase. So you will have to find a different first name for this guy to have it be an actual RWBY original character.
