History Characters / SaintSeiyaAsgardSagaCharacters

* AntiVillain: He is a really noble and good-hearted warrior loyal to Hilda who only fights with his homeland's interests in mind. Seiya tells Hilda that she was under control of the Nibelung ring, but unfortunately he doesn't believe it until Sorrento shows up, at which point Siegfried [[UnstoppableRage flips his lid]] and takes Sorrento with him in death as recompense for the God Warriors' actions.

* TheDragon: No pun intended.
* DubNameChange: He's renamed "Orion" in the Italian dub

* SenselessSacrifice: His mythological namesake was killed to try and avert a political disaster that only became [[FromBadToWorse much worse]] ''because'' of his death. Dubhe Siegfried ends up pulling a TakingYouWithMe, [[spoiler: but is foiled by Sorrento at the last moment, causing his death to be pointless... [[SubvertedTrope if it didn't reignite the spark in the Bronze Saints to take on Poseidon]].]]
* TakingYouWithMe: When Siren Sorento, one of the Poseidon's Mariner Generals, appears and tells how as Polaris Hilda was changed by the Nibelungen Ring; Siegfried, full of anger, faces Sorrento and tries to kill him in the same way Dragon Shiryu did with Capricorn Shura.[[spoiler: However, Sorrento escapes and survives the attack, but not Siegfried, who died in the process]].

* BlackSheep: None of the other Warrior Gods trust him in the very least, and they're right not to do so.

* TheStarscream: He knew right off the bat that something was off about Hilda, and planned to manipulate the situation to place himself at the top of the food chain in Asgard--and, by extension, the world.

* Expy: He inherits the ''Blue Impulse'' attack from the manga-exclusive character Blue Warrior Alexei.

* GentleGiant: Is actually this deep down. In his backstory we watch he shared his food with poor families in Asgard.
* HonorBeforeReason: He noticed the change in Hilda, and acknowledges with his dying breath that Seiya was right and the Saints are probably the only ones who can restore Hilda.

* MyMasterRightOrWrong: One of the most obvious examples in the arc. Despite noticing the change in Hilda's personality, Thor deliberately chooses to turn a blind eye to the issue and still follows Hilda dutifully because A) of her kindness towards him prior to her brainwashing, which won his loyalty to her, and B) he cannot ascertain the dark truth behind her change as he's not aware she is being mind-controlled by Poseidon through the Nibelung Ring.

* MyMasterRightOrWrong: One of the most obvious examples. He deliberately ignores the issue of Hilda's personality doing a complete turn from a kind-hearted ruler to a conflict-hungry and ruthless despot, because of his duty.

* BladeOnAStick: Evil Hilda's weapon (she uses this mostly against Seiya).

* StellarName: The God Warriors' names derive from the stars in the ''Ursa Major''[=/=]Big Dipper constellation.

* NotGoodWithPeople: A rather extreme case, bordering on MisanthropeSupreme. His loyalty and care for his wolf pack is absolute, but he hates humans with a burning passion. The only exception to this is Hilda, because he respects her strength and power as a near PhysicalGod.

* StellarName: The God Warriors' names derive from some stars in the ''Ursa Major'' constellation.

* SelfMadeOrphan: [[spoiler:He snaps when Volker tells him that he murdered his biological parents and kills him. Little did he know, though, that it was a part of Volker's ThanatosGambit: he wanted to both atone for the ''accidental'' killing of Mime's family '''and''' die in battle instead of his long-time illness, so he put on a [[HiddenHeartOfGold facade]] for many years. In reality he always loved Mime like a son, and once risked his own life to get him medical attention, but due to his honor issues he could never show it.]]
