The five arrows have been used by the Rothschilds for a long time. According to their website, it's connected to a story about Plutarch. They use arrows pointing up for one faction of the family, and arrows down for another.
The 5 arrows stand for original 5 sons who were sent to open banks around Europe. And they all look to be pointing up? The bottom part is the feather fletching. I watched the old Rothschild movie on AMC a long time ago, and I think the original Rothschild said this in a corny death bed scene, as well as there being strength in their family unity, which is why they are bundled (fasces). I would consider that branches of the family more than factions, because they accomplished what they did by working together. You can't fault the man for his logic, you can fault them for buying up the world through funding war and misery. Seems like they may have added to the lore to seem fancier, just like the Rothschild name and buying various titles.

Edit: connection between the story about Plutarch's arrows and the 'fasces lictoriae' also on the guy's mask.
