!!Pegasus Tenma
[[quoteright:178:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Tenma_902.png]]
--> Voiced by: Creator/TetsuyaKakihara (JP), Arnie Pantoja (EN)
* BackFromTheDead: When Alone killed him in the first battle of the Holy War; thanks to Athena's divine protection in the flower garland, his soul was kept alive and subsequently rescued by Yato and Yuzuriha from Yomotsu Hirasaka.
* {{Bishonen}}: He is quite good-looking.
* BreakTheCutie: Not very rare. [[spoiler:Learning that the place where he grew up was ravaged by Specters and that his childhood friend is behind it all. Aldebaran's death, while he was unconscious. Dohko's apparent death, and the fact that he blames himself (and Degel doesn't help by agreeing that it's his fault). Yato and Yuzuriha turning into stone. Finding himself face to face with his beloved mother, who came back as a Specter.]]
* TheChosenOne: According to legends, the Pegasus Saint is always a key character in the Holy Wars against Hades, so everyone seems to think Tenma is some kind of [[TheChosenOne chosen one]] and must make it through the war and face Hades. Tenma initially seems to think this means he's BlessedWithSuck.
** AttackAnimal: [[spoiler:Youma sees him as this, and intends to harvest his soul to use it as a weapon against Olympus.]]
* DarkAndTroubledPast
* {{Determinator}}
* DisappearedDad: [[spoiler:Until he resurfaced as a major villain.]]
* DivineParentage: [[spoiler:Son of a rogue Time God.]]
* EnemyMine: [[spoiler:He ends up fighting Partita alongside Pandora (although she claims he will be the next one to die). After he saves her life and protects her, they become almost friendly towards each other. [[FriendlyEnemy Still enemies, though.]]]]
* {{Expy}}: Of Seiya. He is also implied to look just like Seiya, as in Next Dimension where Kurumada is the artist, he [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/43/cc/d9/43ccd9788e8aeafba21d6bddf8dc96df.jpg is drawn]] exactly like how [[https://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/8/80111/3362501-saintseiya75.png Seiya]] was drawn, the only difference being Seiya's eyes are brown and Tenma's are red. But [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/94/e4/a3/94e4a339972da50de8ed390b2bbca0c4.jpg Teshirogi's art style]] helps differentiating these two further.
* TheHero
** HurtingHero
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Alongside Sasha and Alone, to banish Hades back into the Underworld and keep him trapped there.]]
* HotBlooded
* IGaveMyWord: Takes this very seriously.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: Unlike his {{Expy}} Seiya who gets ShipTease with Saori, his relationship with Sasha is strictly this.
* MeaningfulName: Tenma (天馬) means "Heaven's steed" or "Pegasus/Winged horse". [[spoiler: Chosen by Youma as he knew his son was the reincarnation of the legendary Pegasus Saint.]]
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Tenma wants to be the only one to knock some sense in Alone. [[spoiler: And succeeded.]]
* OutOfFocus: Large batches of the story are dedicated to the Gold Saints' fights, meaning he's prone to disappearing for several chapters (or in the anime, up to two episodes) at a time.
* RapidFireFisticuffs: Both his signature moves consist on this.
* RedIsHeroic: Dresses in red under his Cloth. Also has red eyes.
* RedOniBlueOni: Red to Alone.
* ShonenHair
* SignatureMove: Pegasus Ryuseiken (Pegasus Meteor Fist).
* ThreeAmigos: With Yato and Yuzuriha. Also with Alone and Sasha.
* TookALevelInBadass: Many times, but especially after his TrainingFromHell with Defteros.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Yato.
* WhatBeautifulEyes: Alone said that he could not find a shade of red beautiful enough to match Tenma's eyes. [[spoiler: Also, in chapter 214, Alone apparently dreamed of Tenma before actually talking to him, and noted that [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tlc_214_p9.jpg Tenma's eyes were even more vivid than in his dream.]] ]]

!!Unicorn Yato
[[quoteright:178:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Yato_9703.png]]
--> Voiced by: Creator/AtsushiAbe (JP), Creator/KyleMcCarley (EN)
* ActionSurvivor
** BroughtDownToNormal: [[spoiler:At the end.]]
* BreakTheCutie: In the Forest of the Dead, when tricked into believing that Tenma and Yuzuriha were killed.
** RoaringRampageOfRevenge: And this is where we first truly see that he really loves them, as he goes beyond his own limits to "avenge" them.
* ButtMonkey
* CatchPhrase: "The great Yato..."
* {{Determinator}}: Even though he knows his own limitations, he won't give up until the very end.
* DyingMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler:Before turning into stone, he spends his last seconds preventing Tenma from falling into the same trap]].
** TakenForGranite: [[spoiler:Reverted by Athena.]]
* {{Expy}}: Of Jabu.
** AscendedExtra: To one of the main characters.
* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: [[spoiler: In chapter 216, when Tenma is convinced by the Lost Canvas that death is salvation and falls into an AngstComa thinking that all his efforts to help them live are futile, Yato jumps in front of him - even when Hades is there - to help Tenma snap out of it.]]
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: As a kid, when he used to dream of being a "hero".
** JumpedAtTheCall: When his older sister falls ill and he tries to take her to town to see a medic, they're attack by a Specter, and kid Yato '''tries to fight him''' despite being a child with zero experience! [[BigDamnHeroes Big Damn Hero]] Scorpio Kardia shows up to save the day and (after the older sister is cured) takes Yato with him to the Sanctuary to become a Saint, something the young boy seems very eager about.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Every little bit. [[spoiler:Had he not been there for Tenma, Hades would not have been defeated]].
* TheLancer: He's basically Tenma's right hand
* ShipTease: Have a decent amount of this with Yuzuhira. [[spoiler:By the end of the manga, both are depowered and sent to Jamir, where they're learning how to live as normal humans together, and gaidens shows they were still together. It's implied that Kiki, Mu's apprentice, is their descendant]].
* ShonenHair
* SignatureMove: Unicorn Gallop.
* ThreeAmigos: With Tenma and Yuzuriha.
** VitriolicBestBuds: With Tenma, and Yuzuriha to a lesser extent.
* {{Tsundere}}: A type A towards, surprisingly, Tenma. They are at first rivals, and Yato only agrees to help bring back Tenma from the Underworld because he thinks Athena/Sasha will be devastated if Tenma dies. However, he shows genuine concern for Tenma and really puts a lot of effort into helping him, and as the series progresses, they become friendlier and friendlier, enough for Yato to pull a HeroicSacrifice for Tenma despite still bickering with him on a daily basis. As in the later parts of the series, Yato now seems to be the type B instead.

!!Wolf Junkers, Lionet Bleriot, Bear Douglas and Hydra Curtis
[[quoteright:235:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/imagesCAJJER2V_8398.jpg]]
** TheBigGuy, also [[spoiler:LoadBearingHero]]: Bear Douglas.
* [[DeadPersonConversation Dead People Conversation]]: [[spoiler:To Tenma and Yato.]]
* [[{{Determinator}} Determinators]]
* {{Expy}}: Of Wolf Nachi, Lionet Ban, Bear Geki and Hydra Ichi.
** [[AscendedExtra Ascended Extras]]: Especially with Wolf Junkers. Dude must be embarrassed with his successor.
* TheHero: Wolf Junkers.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:To activate the Ship of Hope.]]
* TheLancer: Lionet Bleriot.
* ThePowerOfFriendship: Wolf Junkers rants about it quite a few times.
* TheSmartGuy: Hydra Curtis. [[spoiler: Sacrificed paving the way through [[TheHedgeOfThorns wild thorns]].]]

[[folder:Silver Saints]]

!!Crane Yuzuriha
[[quoteright:178:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Yuzuriha_493.png]]
--> Voiced by: Creator/SanaeKobayashi (JP), Creator/TaraSands (EN)
* ActionGirl: Trained in combat from a very early age.
* ActionSurvivor
** BroughtDownToNormal: [[spoiler:At the end.]]
* DistaffCounterpart: Of Hyoga, in a ''really'' vague way. She has, at least, killed someone close to her, which was practically a RunningGag for Hyoga. The personalities are also similar.
** The Cloths. They're both based on birds.
* FacialMarkings: It seems to be common for her race, as Sage, Hakurei, Shion and [[Characters/SaintSeiyaGoldSaints Mu]] also have it.
* HugeGirlTinyGuy: She is really tall comparing to Tenma and Yato. This also implies that she's quite older than them.
* MaskPower: Even if she hates wearing it. At first, she did wear it after getting back the Silver Cloth and would only remove it in front of Tenma and Yato. But later, she ditches the mask completely.
* MsFanservice
** AbsoluteCleavage
** BareYourMidriff
** FreakyFashionMildMind: Her skimpy dressing style contrasts greatly with her calm, mature personality.
** {{Sarashi}}
** ShowSomeLeg: Both the manga and anime focus a lot on her legs, letting her wearing stockings/high boots and kicking a lot.
** WalkingShirtlessScene: A rare female example. Considering that all she uses to cover her upper body is [[{{Sarashi}} a bunch of bandages]], and her Silver Cloth [[RuleOfSexy doesn't help much]] in covering her chest further, it's safe to say that, yes, she spents the whole series shirtless.
* PaperThinDisguise: When Yato rescues Tenma from Manigoldo's cage, Yuzuriha greets them with her Silver Cloth on and her mask. It makes Tenma freak out, thinking that a Silver Saint has followed them, even though it is clearly Yuzuriha. (for us audience, anyway...)
* PsychicPowers
* ScarfOfAsskicking: She wears it as a keepsake from her mother, and it seems she [[RuleOfCool has absolutely no problem fighting in it]], even though we all know that in real life, when you fight, the last thing you want is to have a long, thick scarf restricting your movements.
* ScrewTheRulesImBeautiful: Doesn't have a problem with showing people her face, though she points out that she doesn't wear it ''because'' of Yato and Tenma.
* ShipTease:
** The anime, especially, likes to hint at Shion/Yuzuriha.
** Don't forget her moments with Yato. Specially [[spoiler: in the ending, where they get stuck together in Jamir after losing their powers. She even gets angry and smacks him when he laments on their situation!]] Yato seems to have a mild crush on her, as he blushes when Yuzuriha says that she will only remove her mask in front of him, and get disappointed when she mentions "Oh, and Tenma too!" She actually just abandon the mask afterwards anyway, though. [[spoiler:It's implied that Kiki, Mu's apprentice, is Yato & Yuzuriha's descendant]].
* TheStoic
* {{Tsundere}}: A mild example for Yato. [[spoiler:She gets slightly angry and disappointed in the last chapter when he said they should go back to the Sanctuary instead stay stuck up in Jamir together. They do remain there, anyway]].
* TakenForGranite: [[spoiler:Reverted by Athena.]]
* ThreeAmigos: With Tenma and Yato.
* TwoGirlsToATeam: She and Sasha/Athena are the only girls in Athena's army.

!!Altar Hakurei
[[quoteright:178:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Hakurei_2181.png]]
--> Voiced by: Creator/KenyuHoriuchi (JP), Creator/PaulStPeter, Creator/KaijiTang (young) (EN)
* TheBlacksmith: Very skilled in the art of fixing Cloths.
* BloodKnight: Implied in chapter 88, downright confirmed in following chapters.
%%* CoolOldGuy
%%* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: [[spoiler:Hypnos.]]
%%* FacialMarkings
* MentorArchetype: To Tenma and co.
* OldMaster: To Shion, Yuzuriha, Tokusa and Atla.
%%* RetiredBadass
%%* ShirtlessScene
* SurvivorGuilt: Being one of the survivors of the previous Holy War.
* TwinSwitch: [[spoiler:As he and Sage are twins and he isn't very well-known, preferring to work behind the scenes, he poses as his brother after the latter's death, so the morale of the army won't decay over the loss of its leader.]]

!!Cerberus, Auriga and Sagitta
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/SilverSaints_3879.png]]
* AdaptationExpansion: The anime shows them on the trail of Skeleton Soldiers in Italy, on a mission to locate the Forest Cathedral.
** BatmanGambit: Pandora [[LuredIntoATrap lured them into a trap]]. She knew they would leave at least one Skeleton alive so he would run back into the Forest Cathedral and they could follow it and discover the location; the moment they arrive there, however, they're immediately surrounded by strong Specters and killed.
* BackFromTheDead
** BrainwashedAndCrazy: Brought back by Hades, they were used as puppets in an attempt to kill Athena.
** FightingFromTheInside: Though they're forced by Hades's power to attack Athena, they're internally struggling against it.
* {{Expy}}: Of Cerberus Dante, Auriga Capella and Sagitta Ptolemy.
* NoNameGiven
* [[SacrificialLamb Sacrificial Lambs]]
* TearsOfBlood: Cerberus, asking for Athena's forgiveness upon being freed of Hades's power (that is, mortally wounded).
* ThreeAmigos
* WeaponOfChoice
** EpicFlail: Cerberus.
** RainOfArrows: Sagitta, and no they are ''not'' just AnnoyingArrows.
** DeadlyDisc: Auriga.

!!Vela Tsubaki, Puppis Lacaille (and Pyxis Rusk)
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/SilverSaints2_3705.png]]
* AdaptationExpansion: Their roles are expanded in the anime (they're given names, to begin with...)
* BackStory: Lacaille, in the Capricorn Anecdotes.
* CombinationAttack / BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu: On [[FusionDance Oneiros]]. [[spoiler:It didn’t work since [[HealingFactor One]][[ImplacableMan iros]] is a [[PhysicalGod Dream God]].]]
* HonorBeforeReason
* [[MauveShirt Mauve Shirts]]: In the anime, when they're introduced and have some development before their battle against Oneiros. In the manga, they're just [[RedShirt Red Shirts]] instead.
* TokenTrio
** TheHero: Vela Tsubaki.
** TheLancer: Puppis Lacaille.
** TheChick: Pyxis Rusk (who is really a Bronze Saint).
** SixthRanger: Pakia (who decided not to become a Saint at the last minute).

[[folder:Gold Saints]]

!!Aries Shion
[[quoteright:178:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Shion_4154.png]]
--> Voiced by: Creator/ShinichiroMiki (JP), Creator/MaxMittelman (EN)
* BarrierWarrior: He still has really powerful offensive abilities however.
* BigDamnHeroes: Pulls one saving Agasha from Minos. Too bad Shion himself is almost killed by Minos and needs another BigDamnHeroes moment to ensue (see Albafica's entry).
* TheBlacksmith: He [[{{NERDGASM}} REALLY]] enjoys learning the history of each Cloth he repairs.
* CombinationAttack: Did an [[spoiler:Athena Exclamation]] with Sisyphus and Regulus to open the gates to the Lost Canvas.
* EveryScarHasAStory / GoodScarsEvilScars: Two important scars. One in the back of his neck from when he was almost beheaded by Balron René as a child; another in his arm, inflicted by Hakurei shortly after in order to pour some blood into the dying boy.
* FacialMarkings: Short rounded eyebrows as a half-Lemurian.
* PsychicPowers: To lift [[spoiler:Pisces Albafica's dead body]].
* RedOniBlueOni: Blue to Dohko.
* ShipTease: The anime, especially, likes to hint at Shion/Yuzuriha.
* SignatureMove: Stardust Revolution.
* TheStoic
** NotSoStoic: Goes absolutely batshit when [[spoiler:Alone killed Hakurei.]]
* {{Teleportation}}: Part of his Psychokinesis ability.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Green.

!!Taurus Aldebaran/Rasgado
[[quoteright:178:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Aldebaran_3246.png]]
--> Voiced by: Creator/TomokazuSugita (JP), Creator/JamiesonPrice (EN)
* BadassArmfold: As usual for Taurus Saints, he likes to fight with his arms crossed.
* BadassBoast: When confronted by Spectres and told he's outnumbered, lacking the advantage Albafica had and can't win, he crosses him arms and says he will fight them ALL as is. He backs it up (in a single attack and never unfolding his arms)!
* CruelMercy: Averted; he lets [[spoiler: Kagaho]] live, but only because he sees no evil in him.
* {{Determinator}}: He takes the most physical damage of all the Gold Saints without actually dying. The guy's a wall.
* [[spoiler: DiedStandingUp]]
* EyeScream: [[spoiler:Kagaho blinds him in one eye.]]
* {{Expy}}: Of Aldebaran (original).
* FriendToAllChildren: He adopted lots of kids that he found abandoned in the streets, the most plot-important of which are Teneo, Celintha and Saro.
* GentleGiant: He's tall and burly, but really likes kids.
* HandicappedBadass: Stabs his own eardrums to avoid an enemy's sound hypnosis.
* HonorBeforeReason
* ImplacableMan
* LightningBruiser: Burly, strong AND the fastest of all the Gold Saints.
* MeaningfulName: Rasgado means 'torn'; funnily enough, it also means 'ripped', which can entirely describe all the Taurus Saints as a whole.
* MentorArchetype: To Regulus, Dohko, Tenma, Teneo, Salo and Celintha.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gives one to Kagaho about how he's too violent for his own good and how he's going to destroy everyone he loves if he doesn't tone it down.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Rasgado/Hasgard.
* ThatManIsDead: In a variation of this, Aldebaran claimed that he abandoned his real name, Rasgado, to dedicate himself to being a Saint. Thus he adopted 'Aldebaran', the name of one of the stars in the Taurus constellation.
* TheWorfEffect: Averted.

!!Gemini Defteros
[[quoteright:178:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Defteros_9967.png]]

* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Platonic, familial version with his brother Aspros. Initially he worshipped Aspros a lot, and pretty much listened to anything he would say, but stopped listening to him after realizing how much Aspros had been corrupted, [[spoiler: and he even ended up killing him. Even so, yes, he did stop ''listening'' to Aspros, but he never stopped ''loving'' his older twin. He was even willing to die to cleanse Aspros' corruption. Hell, even death doesn't stop him from loving Aspros, as seen in the fight between Aspros and Mephistopheles Youma, the Gemini Cloth, [[SoulJar infused with his soul]], protected Aspros.]] You might wonder whether Aspros really deserved that sacrifice from Defteros, after all the abuse and insults, and even worse, it was Aspros who [[spoiler: killed Defteros.]] Even Mephistopheles Youma thinks so too.
---> '''Mephistopheles Youma:''' The Gemini Cloth? The younger brother? Impossible! [[spoiler: He killed you! Why are you protecting him !?]]
* AnotherDimension: Used this skill to save Dohko in his way delivering Athena's Cloth.
* TheAtoner: As Asmita points out, [[spoiler:his sin lies in not seeing what his brother was going through, though Defteros feels more guilty about killing his own brother in the first place. He then spends the following two years trying to earn the Gemini Cloth to fill his brother's shoes.]]
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe / BigBrotherWorship: In their childhood, Defteros was shunned and discriminated against as he was the younger twin, and people apparently thought that younger twins would only bring trouble. [[BigBrotherInstinct Aspros was the only one who was kind to him]] and did anything to defend Defteros from others' assaults.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:Under the influence of Aspros' Demon Emperor Fist to kill the current Pope Sage]].
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow
* [[DarkSkinnedBlond Dark-Skinned and Blue-Haired]]
* {{Expy}}: Of Kanon. Appearance-wise, of Guilty. Even [[spoiler:his temporary resident]] Kanon Island is a nod to the Death Queen Island.
* FangsAreEvil: Subverted. He has a single protruding fang, which is more than enough to [[spoiler:bite Perseus Saint's Medusa shield into pieces under his "demon" persona]]. That being said, he still fights on Athena's side.
* FusionDance: [[spoiler:By having his soul infused with the Gemini Cloth wore by Aspros.]]
* HeroicSacrifice
** ThanatosGambit
** RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:Not personal redemption, but to redeem Aspros instead.]]
* HiddenHeartOfGold / BeneathTheMask: Under the [[spoiler:"demon" persona]], he bears no ill-will towards Tenma after the latter proven himself serious. [[spoiler:And even after being used by Aspros, he still has the heart to forgive his older brother]].
* HotBlooded: His Kanon Island [[spoiler:"demon" persona]].
* ImAHumanitarian: Invoked. [[spoiler:As part of his "demon" persona, the people of Kanon Island are convinced that he actually eats anyone that comes near him; whether he does is a matter of debate]].
* MagmaMan / LavaAddsAwesome: He lives alongside magma river during his time in Kanon Island. The only reason why he doesn't get burnt is because he activates his 7th Sense at all time.
* MeaningfulName: Defteros means "second one", signifying his status as the 2nd twin.
** SpellMyNameWithAnS: Defteros or Deuteros.
* MrFanservice : In his time on Kanon Island, he is a WalkingShirtlessScene and wears tight pants that shows the firm shape of his ass. Yum.
* OldFriend: Of Asmita. [[spoiler:[[DeadPersonConversation His ghost asked Defteros to wear Gemini Cloth once more]]]].
* PaperThinDisguise: Originally, he's portrayed as an {{Expy}} of Guilty from the original series, but just about everyone could tell he was really an {{Expy}} of Gemini, just not exactly clear of which one.
* SignatureMove: Galaxian Explosion, though he avoids using it because it reminds him of Aspros.
* SinkOrSwimMentor: He pushed Tenma to reach the 7th Sense in the middle of magma river in the span of 3 days. Later, his final test for Tenma is for Tenma to stop the volcano eruption. If Tenma couldn't do it, the entire village under the volcano will perish.
* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler:To Youma/Kairos]]. See AllLoveIsUnrequited above.
* TrainingFromHell: Trained Tenma to reach the 7th Sense in the volcanic Kanon Island.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair

!!Gemini Aspros
[[quoteright:178:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Aspros_7617.png]]
* AllForNothing: [[spoiler:He would have been the Pope should he had been more patient, as Sisyphus refused the post. He didn't even pass the first test before he attempted to kill the Pope for what he thought was a personal insult towards him]].
* AmbitionIsEvil: [[spoiler: What Youma corrupted is only his love to Defteros. He goes down the wrong path because he is too ambitious, selfish and arrogant to begin with.]]
* AnotherDimension: Do you seriously expect a Gemini Saint incapable of using this skill? This is how he [[spoiler: disabled Mephistopheles Youma's TimeMaster power.]]
* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:As part of his atonement, he battles Hades and then Mephistopheles]].
* BackForTheDead / LivingOnBorrowedTime: [[spoiler:First revived by Hades, then comes back again after his first fight against Mephistopheles Youma.]]
* BigBrotherInstinct: Used to had loads of it as a child, but slowly fades away after Mephistopheles convinced him that Defteros just might not be as innocent as he seem to be.
* BrokenPedestal: He turned out not to be admirable as Defteros has ever hoped him to be. He proved to be this when [[spoiler: he uses Demon Emperor Fist against his own brother to kill the current Pope Sage]].
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow
* CrazyPrepared: He wants to be the next Pope so bad, he basically hoarded as many knowledge as he can. But even though he failed to be the next Pope, this still proved to be useful during his fight against Mephistopheles.
* EvilTwin: The older one.
* {{Expy}}: Of Saga. Role-wise, and appearance-wise. Personality-wise, they are complete opposite. Here's a tip: Finding a scene where Aspros is talking [[ItsAllAboutMe about himself, and himself ONLY]] is much easier than a scene where Saga cried, and that pretty much happens in ALL spin-offs featuring the original Gold Saints. As you can see, that's really says something.
* FusionDance: [[spoiler:By having Defteros' soul infused with the Gemini Cloth he wore.]]
* GeniusBruiser: Demonstrated and boasted this to Mephistopheles, that in order to become a Pope, a swelling amount of knowledge is needed.
* HeelFaceTurn: Subverted, [[spoiler:as in Hades hasn't actually reincarnated in Alone's body, but he does ended up coming back fighting for Athena's side.]]
* HiddenHeartOfGold
* ItsAllAboutMe: He doesn't care if people will die if their get in his way, if fighting in his full power would kill people around him, all that matters is himself. [[spoiler: Even when the deceased Gold Saints retured and say their reason to help, he just said that his reason is himself.]]
* MeaningfulName: Means "white". Somewhat [[{{Irony}} ironic]].
* PaintItBlack: While he was under the influence of his own Demon Emperor Fist and at the service of Hades.
* RedemptionEqualsDeath

* DeadpanSnarker

* DynamicEntry: "I'm sorry, queeny, but your dolls are going back to the Underworld now!" How he meets up with [[spoiler:Thanatos and Hypnos.]]

* BigBrotherMentor: To Tenma. He even calls Tenma his younger brother.
* {{Depower}}: [[spoiler:In order to fulfill his role as guardian of the Sealed Land until the next Holy War begins, he is given the Misopethamenos, a technique that greatly extends his lifespan, but severely weakens him physically.]]
* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:Since [[ForegoneConclusion we knew he'd be one of the survivors]], we all knew his "sacrifice" to distract Alone long enough in order for Shion, Tenma, Yato and Yuzuriha to escape would end up being this.]]
* HotBlooded: So much that in numerous times his own allies have to hold him down.

* BackFromTheDead: In his Gaiden story, [[spoiler:he died after defeating Huesda with Katakaio Antares., [[GoOutWithASmile complete with a smile]]. But then was immediately revived by Quetzalcotl in Calvera's body by removing the Obsidian Fang from Huesda off his heart]].
* BadassBoast: From his Gaiden story, after he defeated the Jaguars that attacked Calvera's tavern.
-->Hah! What a bunch of weaklings! Won't you stand the real heat of my heart!? Does it hurt? You were shot by the golden scorpion. Consider yourself lucky if you faint before the pain kills you!
* BadassInDistress: In his Gaiden story, he was in complete mercy in Huesda's hand [[spoiler:by having his heart grabbed from the inside]]. Sasha arrived just in time before he lose consicousness.
* BigDamnHeroes: Shows up to save child Yato from a huge Specter and takes him along to the Sanctuary to train and become a Saint.
* {{Bishounen}}
* BloodKnight: [[UpToEleven Even more so than Manigoldo]]. He couldn't contain himself that his fingers are twitching and asked Degel to let him fight Rhadamanthys instead, to put himself at ease.
-->My needle... It's bothering me... It doesn't want to calm down. Degel, I know you have a score to settle with him [[spoiler:because he killed your friend]]... But I can't contain myself any longer. I have to rip him into pieces to calm down!
* CharacterTics: He would sometimes lick his scarlet nail in the middle of excitement.
* CombatSadomasochist: Really enjoys torturing his opponents and the heat that surges inside his heart whenever he burns his Cosmo in the heat of the battle.
* DeathSeeker / TheHedonist: Knowing he would die sooner or later, he wanted to have a really good fight that would kill him.
* DiedStandingUp: [[spoiler:As his heartbeat fades, he counted on Degel to be able to accomplish his own goal in life before [[GoOutWithASmile dies smiling]]]].
* DeadpanSnarker: Delivers terrible burns to Rhadamanthys.
-->I might be an insect, but you're just a lapdog.
* {{Determinator}}: To the point of insanity even within the series' standards due to being a CombatSadomasochist and DeathSeeker.
* DissonantLaughter: All the time, [[spoiler:even when he’s having his heart ripped off by Huesda in his Gaiden story]].
* EccentricMentor: Usually, the Saint who takes a newcomer to the Sanctuary (one way or another) is the one who trains him (Taurus Aldebaran, Libra Dohko, even '''Pope''' Sage), so he's implied to be this to Yato.
* {{Expy}}: Of Milo.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler:He didn't sense Unity's presence a moment before laying his eyes on him on their first meeting.]]
* GoodIsNotNice: Genuinely cares about others' well-being, while saying rude things to their faces for most of the time.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Hinted with Degel.
* HotBlooded: Almost too literally.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: In his Gaiden story, he decided to bring Sasha together with him out of boredom.
* [[IAmNotLeftHanded I Am Not Right Handed]]: Normally he shots with his right hand, but [[spoiler:after Rhadamanthys broke his right hand's needle, he simply shot his left hand's one]].
-->[[spoiler:You are really guillible to think I had only one needle... The best one is the one closest to the heart! The left needle!]]
* IShallTauntYou: He worked this way to redirect Rhadamanthys's aggression towards himself, instead of Degel.
-->Hah... Hahah... HAHAHAHAHA!!! In a second? Take care of us? Allow me to laugh! If you really want to kill us that much, you better not miss your chance, Wyvern!
* IllBoy: Kardia had a heart disease that gave his heart a burning heat, would usually give him very terrible fever and can only be cooled down by [[AnIcePerson Degel's power.]] But even then, the disease was incurable and he would eventually die.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: As demonstrated in his Gaiden story; He may fight on Athena's side, but that doesn't stop him from traumatizing young Sasha by joyfully torturing Nahualpilli in front of her. When Sasha critized him that [[NotSoDifferent his action doesn't make him different from his opponent]], Kardia justified himself [[JerkassHasAPoint because his opponent is a thief or may be even worst, an empty person by skinning others' skins for his sole warmth]].
* LivingOnBorrowedTime: [[spoiler:He received a drop of Athena's blood the age of 10 to prolong his life, since then he was given the choice of longevity through [[{{Depower}} Misopethamenos]] or suffer the burn of the divine blood until his ultimate death. No points for guessing what he choose.]]
** DeadlyUpgrade: Because it's CastFromLifespan. But [[LivingOnBorrowedTime he did not mind it at all]].
* MeaningfulName: Kardia means 'heart' which refers to his degenerative heart disease.
** Katakaio in Ancient Greek means "destroyed by flame" or "utterly burned".
* NobleMaleRoguishMale: The Roguish to Degel's Noble.
* OhCrap: In his Gaiden story, he underestimated Huesda, even making fun of him... [[spoiler:until, Huesda got ahold of his heart]]. Kardia was genuinely freaked out.
* OneLinerEcho: In his Gaiden story, Calvera said to Sasha to call for her if any guy bothers her. When the Jaguars attacked the tavern, Kardia saved her immediately. But not before repeating her words and proceeded to kick-ass.
-->Hah! "If any guy troubles you, just call me!"
* ParentalAbandonment: His parents simply dumped him in a public hospital upon learning he was terminally ill.
* PetTheDog: His Gaiden story is dedicated to prove this point with Sasha, other than Degel in the main story.
* PlayingWithFire / SuicideAttack: Katakaio Scarlet Needle is his version that inserts heat into his opponent's body produced by Kardia's heart, this will eventually leads to Katakaio Antares burning his opponent's heart at the cost of Kardia's life.
* PsychopathicManchild: Type B.
* PsychoticSmirk / SlasherSmile: Big time, he should have a contest with Manigoldo regarding this trope.
* RedOniBlueOni: Red to Degel's Blue
* SignatureMove / ToThePain: Scarlet Needle, an attack that shots up to 15 strikes and stacks pain by each strike. It doesn't help that Scorpio Saints ought to explain how the skill works after shooting a few strikes into their opponent's body - most of which are first-timers.
* SociopathicHero
-->'''Scorpio Kardia:''' I'm not that loyal in my heart. My mission to this underwater temple... My decision to fight you. [[ItsAllAboutMe Everything I did because I wanted to]]! I did it because it might reignite the flame inside of me!\\
'''Wyvern Rhadamanthys:''' I cannot stand your way of thinking! You're not a warrior, you're just a selfish, immature man!
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Apples, to the point that it became the only thing we ever see him ate on-screen.
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: A very active member of the YOLO community. When Degel asked him whether he would like it if he could get rid of his disease and live forever, Kardia didn't hesitate to brush that idea off immediately, preferred to accept thing as it was and to live a short but passionate life.
-->I want to use all of my power as soon as possible. Until then I want to feel all the pain and heat that I can... while I fight as a Saint.

* {{Bishounen}}
* BodyguardCrush: [[spoiler:Strongly implied to be in love with Sasha.]]
* CombinationAttack: Twice. Once with El Cid, the other instance with Shion and Regulus.
* DeclarationOfProtection: Says this to Athena after snapping out of his [[spoiler:AngstComa]].

* DisabilitySuperpower: [[spoiler:Reaches the Eighth Sense through it, allowing him to defeat Aiacos.]]
* {{Expy}}: Of Aiolos.
* EyeScream: [[spoiler:He irreversibly damages his own eyes to battle Aiacos]].
* GoodWingsEvilWings: As the Sagittarius Saint, he has golden feathered wings. When he almost turns into a Specter, they turn black.
* HeKnowsTooMuch: One of the reasons why Hypnos and the Dream Gods want to hold him in Morphea. He dug around a lot of intel on the Twin Gods, and Hades' forces obviously don't want him to be able to use it.
* HandicappedBadass: He's still perfectly capable of kicking Specter ass after going blind.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Alone shoots his own arrow back at him, causing his coma.
* ItsAllMyFault: Thinks it was him who caused the Holy War by taking away Athena from Hades' side.
* MeaningfulName: Sisyphus was a king punished by the Gods for his arrogance: they made him roll a boulder up a hill to redeem himself, but before the boulder got to the top, it would always roll back down, no matter how many times he tried.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Took Sasha away from Tenma and Alone, thus messing up Athena's reincarnation gambit that had a high chance of stopping the Holy War from happening at least for one generation.
** [[spoiler:Though Athena DOES clarify afterwards that her very birth IS an omen of the Holy War.]]
* PowerFist: Although he ''does'' have a [[CallingYourAttacks named technique]], his most effective attack to date is an unnamed Cosmo-infused PowerFist.
* ShonenHair
* StartOfDarkness: His guilt problems get so bad that he nearly turns into a Specter. But subverted as Athena manages to counter it.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Being Ilias's little brother and Regulus's uncle, [[http://mangaonline.com.br/images/mangas/61/10/52.jpg Sisyphus in his youth]] was pretty much a Regulus with headband.
** The funny thing though, is that neither he nor his nephew look anything similar to their brother/father.
* StupidGood: Even worse than Aldebaran. He [[spoiler:let Sphinx Pharaoh rip his heart out just to prove that he was completely loyal to Athena when he could have kicked his ass easily (if he manages to do it without his heart in place...). Even if he does manage to perform Athena's Exclamation to allow everybody else to pass as a last stand, it still feels like a pointless death.]]

* {{Determinator}}
** DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: [[spoiler:He kills three of the Gods of Dreams, two of them completely on his own]].

* HandicappedBadass: [[spoiler:Lost his right hand and part of his right arm, suffers of blood loss and shock, but still manages to defeat the dream gods.]]
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: Not a single ouch when [[spoiler:his arm is cut off]]. Icelus taunts him about this, to no avail.

* TakingTheBullet: [[spoiler:He is killed by Oneiros's [[SelfDestructiveCharge self-destruction]] while pushing the dream god away so the explosion couldn't reach and kill Tenma as Oneiros intended.]]

* AnIcePerson: His power, also the reason he made a great partner for Kardia, as he was the only one who could cool down Kardia's fever.
** His powers require him to be cool-headed, otherwise he wouldn't be able to concentrate his Cosmo to stop atoms. This is made clear when [[ItsPersonal he loses it]] against Rhadamanthys and rendered his attacks less effective. Lampshaded by Kardia.
-->'''Scorpio Kardia:''' Keep your cool, my dear Degel. Fighting like this is not your style.
* AlwaysSaveTheGirl: During his mission in his Gaiden story and the mission he was given in the main story, he ended up needing to save Fluorite and Seraphina.

* BeneathTheMask: Although he tries so hard to act cold and distant - to some success when interacting with people who aren't very close to him - deep down he's somewhat passionate and impulsive.
* BerserkButton: His aloof demeanour is magically gone if someone close to him is injured or in trouble.
* {{Bishounen}}
* CulturedWarrior / BadassBookworm: Described to be the most intellegent Saint in the Sanctuary. Made evidently by having his temple filled with books.
** He becomes annoyed and apologizes for Kardia to Unity, when the former insults the values of knowledge contained in the books all over the underground archive that turned out to lead to where Poseidon is sealed.

* {{Expy}} / CompositeCharacter: Of Camus, with elements from Hyoga and Isaac.
* GreaterNeedThanMine: One of the reasons for his HeroicSacrifice is that [[spoiler:he lets Unity to deliver the the remaining piece of the Orichalcum, broken by Pandora, personally to Athena to win the Holy War and to not waste Kardia's death. Also, they can keep the promise they made since childhood where, at least now, one of them become the bridge between Blugrad and the outside world]].

* HeterosexualLifePartners: Hinted with Kardia.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Degel uses [[HumanPopsicle Freezing Coffin]] on himself and [[SoulJar Seraphina]] along with the entire city of Atlantis in order to prevent Poseidon's awakening.]]
* HumanPopsicle: Freezing Coffin, [[spoiler:which he used in massive scale for HeroicSacrifice]].
* KillItWithIce: Diamond Dust and Aurora Execution.
* LongHairedPrettyBoy
* MeaningfulName: Dégel in French means "to thaw" or "to unfreeze". A subtle reference to his true nature, and how his stern facade "unfreezes" when personal matters are involved.
* NobleMaleRoguishMale: Noble to Kardia's Rougish.
* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue to Kardia's Red.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Started out with TranquilFury after StunnedSilence. It doesn't help that his self-induced weakened attacks are brushed off easily by Rhadamanthys.
-->Perfect, I will begin by [[spoiler:avenging Unity]]... AND YOUR REMAINS WILL BE LEFT FROZEN ON THE BATTLEFIELD!!
* ShipTease: Degel is teased with three possible love interests:
** His relationship with [[SculleryMaid Fluorite]], the maid that he rescued in a french castle and turned his sidekick investigating mysteries. She clearly developed romantic feelings for Degel. He kept the glasses that she gave him and encouraged her to continue writting, though if their relationship developed after that is unkown.
** His visible affection towards [[DamselInDistress Seraphina]] can be interpreted as romantic, especially in his anecdote. He reaches out to the woman by directly placing his hands on her cheeks [[spoiler:after some years of seperation and on his dying moments, despite being unable to reciprocate as said woman has died some time ago]], seem to [[AllLoveIsUnrequited imply something]].
** Possibly with Kardia, who is his [[HeterosexualLifePartners Heterosexual Life Partner]] and his most popular ship.
* StoicSpectacles: They come with being a HotLibrarian. He seem to only wear them when reading books. It's explained in his Gaiden story that during the mission, his vision was distorted by [[spoiler:his master, Krest's attack.]] His spectacles are Flourite's [[spoiler:dad memento]] given to him after she learned the fact.

* DudeLooksLikeALady: Not as much as Pisces Aphrodite, but he is sometimes mistaken for a female as show in his Gaiden story.

!!Wyvern Rhadamanthys
[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Rhadamanthys_2585.png]]
* {{Determinator}}
** ImplacableMan: [[spoiler: Survived getting pierced and his heart burnt by Kardia; getting part of his chest ripped out by Regulus; and survived long enough, after being [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe cut in half]] by Alone, to unseal Athena's power, and still save Pandora as his last act as a Specter.]]
* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:TWICE. First, on his fight against Scorpio Kardia, then on his fight with Leo Regulus.]]
** CameBackWrong
* TheDragon: To Pandora.
* EnemyMine
* GoodWingsEvilWings
* MadeOfIron: Rhadamanthys takes a '''lot''' of punishment throughout the story. To list the things that happened to him: [[spoiler: he had his heart set on fire by Kardia during their battle in Atlantis, he was infused with Hades' blood which caused him severe pain at first before finally being able to control it, he powered through an Athena Exclamation by Regulus (which is a small-scale Big Bang), survived a Zodiac Exclamation without a scratch, had his heart punched out by Regulus, sliced in half by Alone, and finally blown apart after saving Pandora.]] That's how much it took to finally kill him off.
* NobleDemon: Almost lovely when compared to the likes of Minos and Aiacos.
** [[spoiler:Saving Pandora from Alone's attack, after he was already missing half his body.]]
* PowerUp: [[spoiler:Became a PhysicalGod after being infused with Alone's blood.]]
** {{Depower}}: [[spoiler:His [[PowerUp god-like state]] was overpowered and destroyed by Regulus at the cost of his own life, reverting Rhadamanthys back into a common Specter.]]
* ShonenHair
* ThreeAmigos
* UndyingLoyalty: To Hades, and ''only'' Hades. This is the reason why [[spoiler: he decided to destroy the painting that Alone made that's keeping Sasha's/Athena's powers sealed: he doesn't take it well when he finds out that a human has enough audacity to pose as his master.]]
** MyMasterRightOrWrong: With regard to Hades.
* VillainousValour
* YouKilledMyFather: [[spoiler:Regulus's reason to fight him.]]

--> Voiced by: Creator/TakahiroSakurai (JP), Creator/TrevorDevall (EN)
* AdvancingBossOfDoom: He effortlessly slays all of the Saints and soldiers who appear in his way trying to stop him as he advances towards the Sanctuary. Albafica's poisonous garden halts him, eventually.
* AxCrazy
* {{Bishounen}}
* BlowYouAway: Gigantic Feathers Flap. A very, ''very'' destructive version.
* GoodWingsEvilWings
* PeoplePuppets: His technique [[MarionetteMotion Cosmic Marionettion]] gives him free control over the victim's body through energy strings. He can manipulate them or simply break them. [[AxCrazy Slowly.]]
* SignatureMove: Cosmic Marionettion.

!!Garuda Aiacos / [[spoiler:Suikyo]]
[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Aiacos_6245.png]]
* AscendedExtra: Of sorts. He was far from extra-status in the original series, but no one can deny that he is much more developed here.
* {{Bishounen}}
* BroughtDownToNormal: [[spoiler:After his defeat, he is demoted from the Judge title and depowered.]]
* [[PowerAtAPrice Cast From Sacrifice]]: Two of his moves work like this. He doesn't risk his life, though; he prefers to [[BadBoss take the lives of his underlings and use them as human sacrifices to unleash the said attacks]].
* GoodWingsEvilWings
* GlassCannon: Terrifically strong, quite fast (and quite fast ''to'' attack with terrifically strong techniques), but kinda fragile when one manages to land a hit on him. [[spoiler: When Sisyphus is finally able to hit him, it's OneHitKO.]]
* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:The most blatant example. Though he gets de-powered and cast down from the hellish ranks, Suikyo is left with a human's lifespan, living on Earth and holding on his arms the woman that loves him. Not bad]].
* PlayingWithFire
* SarcasticClapping: When the Saints manage to [[spoiler:activate the Ship of Hope.]]
* ThreeAmigos

* GenderBlenderName: Yes, a male named Queen.
* MercyKill: [[spoiler:He claims to have killed his partner Gordon so he wouldn't have to live with the humiliation of having been defeated and rendered powerless.]]
* TheNoseKnows: He's able to smell blood to the point of distinguishing the particular odor of each person's blood. [[spoiler: That's how he discovers that Dohko is hiding a vial with Athena's blood, and that the Gold Saint himself was infused with the divine blood.]]
* OffWithHisHead: His preferred method of killing. He does this to countless soldiers in the Sanctuary and attempts to finish Dohko this way.
** [[spoiler: Also the way he kills Minotaur Gordon.]]
* RazorWind: His signature move seems to consist on this.

[[quoteright:168:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/imagesCA70UJF6_4643.jpg]]
* BadassLongRobe
* DisproportionateRetribution: Could be summarized as: "You don't know immediately if you wanna come with me, so I'm gonna slash your neck and leave you bleeding to death".

** NotSoDifferent: He really sees a lot of himself in Shion.
* ItsPersonal: He took personal offense at the fact that the person that he handpicked to be with him hesitated to come with him.
* SilenceYouFool: Almost his catchphrase. The guy really cherishes silence.
* ScaryLibrarian
** BadassBookworm
* SignatureMove: Fire Whip.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: René? Rune? Lune?
* WeCanRuleTogether: Proposed this to a young Shion because he saw a bit of himself in the boy. [[DisproportionateRetribution He didn't take it well]] when a hesitant Shion asked some time to think about it.
** Proposes it again in the Lost Canvas and Shion turns him down immediately.
* WhipItGood
* WouldHurtAChild: Had no qualms about mortally injuring child Shion.

!!Basilisk Sylphid
[[quoteright:166:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/X-Color-Sylphide_7099.jpg]]
* AGoodWayToDie: [[spoiler:As Dohko crushes him with a BearHug, for the first time in his life he is able to feel the warmth of another person's touch. He dies tearfully thanking Dohko for giving him this kindness]].
* BearHug: [[spoiler:Deconstructed. Dohko ''kills him'' with one.]]
* EliteMook: Said to be one of Rhadamanthys's best soldiers, alongside Valentine.
* EvilCounterpart: To Albafica, according to Dohko.
* GoodWingsEvilWings
* IneffectualLoner: Villainous version.
* LonelyAtTheTop: His natural ability is enourmously strong... so much that it kills anyone near him. His UndyingLoyalty to Rhadamanthys is due to Rhadamanthys being the only one he ever met who's strong enough to not be affected by his poison.
* PoisonousPerson
** BattleAura: Manifests as a lethally poisonous wind.
** BlowYouAway: Especially dangerous since it's a venomous version.
** InstantDeathRadius: His poisonous aura does the trick.
** WalkingWasteland
* SignatureMove: Annihilation Flap.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Rhadamanthys.

* EvilRedhead: A very dark red, but still qualifies.
* FanService / FanDisservice: Take your pick.
** BathingBeauty
** BoobsOfSteel
* FromNobodyToNightmare: It's implied that she made her start as an unimportant soldier and steadily made her way to [[TheDragon the top]]. That's why she despises Regulus, whom she sees as "special from the start, effortlessly".
* LoveMakesYouEvil: [[spoiler:She fights for Aiacos because she loves him. They both have to be utterly destroyed in battle for him to find out]].
* PeoplePuppets: [[spoiler:Her corpse is briefly manipulated by Hades to try to execute Aiacos. It doesn't work, because she somehow ''stops herself''.]]
* SamusIsAGirl: Introduced as a tough and brutal Specter '''way''' before being revealed to be a female.
** LadyLooksLikeADude: Despite being rather [[BoobsOfSteel well-endowed]] and has long hair, she looks so much like a guy that Regulus didn't think she was female, and only knew after she destroyed her armor, [[UnsettlingGenderReveal revealing her boobs.]]
* SignatureMove: Shadow Sew.
* {{Tomboy}}: Comparing to [[TomboyAndGirlyGirl all the other girls,]] she is especially masculine.
** TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: That doesn't stop her from falling in love with Aiacos, though.

* AllThereInTheManual: The name of his moves and the fact that apparently he officially belongs to Aiacos's division are never stated in-universe, but they're [[WordOfGod revealed by Teshirogi]] on a Blu-ray booklet.
* AmbiguouslyBrown
* {{Bishounen}}
* CaptainObvious: He basically serves to unwittingly fuel Pandora's doubts by making them surface with his constant questions.
* [[CatGirl Cat Boy]]: Cats are his motif, and he has sharp nails and fangs and the general attitude to go with it.
* CommutingOnABus: Since chapter 48, all he does is ''very'' occasionally pop up alongside Pandora, doing some menial task for her.
* DefectorFromDecadence: [[spoiler:He bears witness to the battle against Hades and endears himself to Athena unwillingly. He still serves Pandora even after the Lost Canvas is torn down]].
* TheDragAlong: To Pandora, to whom he is her constant companion and to Athena, who brings him around to save him from the battles against Wyvern, Owl and Mephistopheles, and to bear witness to the revival of the lesser Saints.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: The fact that Pandora keeps him around serves to show that there's more to her than just rage.
* HarmlessVillain: He really does nothing more than taunt the Saints and be Pandora's useless servant.
* KarmaHoudini: It's easy to survive if you don't lift a finger even once in the whole war.
* LovableCoward: So much that even Pandora tolerates his constant presence around her, and she's not a patient woman to begin with.
* NonActionGuy: Avoids fighting.
* PluckyComicRelief: Though at first he seems a genuine threat, he becomes more and more of a funny and ineffectual Specter as he spends time with Pandora.
* SideKick: To Pandora.
* ShoutOut: To ''Literature/AliceInWonderland''.

* DragonWithAnAgenda
* EldritchAbomination: His true form as [[spoiler:Kairos, the forgotten god of time.]]
* ForTheEvulz: The reason behind his EvilPlan. [[spoiler: Between instigating the holy war and messing with Aspros and Defteros, there's the little fact of wanting to harvest Tenma's soul and use it as a weapon against the [[RageAgainstTheHeavens GODS, ALL OF THEM]]. Ultimately a legitimate reason is revealed; he was banned by his older brother, Kronos, and wants to kill him for it. By extension, he harbours a hatred against ALL older brothers; that includes Aspros.]]
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking

* ActionGirl: [[spoiler:Once she dons the fabled Athena Cloth.]]
* AdorablyPrecociousChild: She was taken to the Sanctuary at around 8-10 years old and had been maturing herself up for the role of Athena ever since.
* BarrierMaiden: She surrounded Sanctuary with a barrier to prevent Hades from resurrecting his Specters.
* CooldownHug: On [[spoiler: Sisyphus and Bennu.]]
* DamselInDistress: Subverted. Contrary to Saori, Sasha is a more direct and pragmatic fighter and less of a bleeding heart.
* DamselOutOfDistress: [[spoiler:In the only time during the series when she is kidnapped (after [[BroughtDownToNormal losing her powers]] during the ImportantHaircut scene), Athena's cosmos returns just in time for her to save herself.]]
* {{Expy}}: Of Saori from the original series, though Saori leaned more on her Goddess side the longer the series went; on the contrary, Sasha staunchly leans more on her "Sasha" side than her "Athena" side. Also, Sasha is considerably less plagued with doubt than Saori.
* GoodWingsEvilWings: Good wings, when [[spoiler: donning her Cloth.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Alongside Tenma and Alone, to banish Hades back into the Underworld and keep him trapped there.]]
* ItsPersonal: She fight Hades less because of what he's bringing to the world, and more because he took control of her dear brother.
* LadyOfWar: She is the goddess of war, after all.
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: To her brother Alone. She used to have a [[BoyishShortHair tomboyish bob cut]] while he was a bit [[LongHairedPrettyBoy too long-haired]] and [[DudeLooksLikeALady pretty]] for his own good, and she also protected her brother from the bullies when they were young... but usually Tenma would handle them all.
* NiceGirl: A very sweet and kind person.
* PluckyGirl
* RapunzelHair
** ImportantHaircut
** ExpositoryHairstyleChange: As a little girl, Sasha had a very short bob. As a teenager, it's much longer; ironically, she indirectly loses her powers in battle ''because'' she cuts her hair to pay for Charon's fare.
* ThePowerOfBlood: Athena's blood may have even more uses than [[Franchise/HarryPotter dragon blood]].
* ThePowerOfFriendship: Her speech after Tenma finds out that Youma [[spoiler: is his father and had been a part of his plan before he was born]]. It is the GoldenMoment of that part.
* ThePowerOfLove: The flower leashes she made are imbued with this. [[spoiler: Strong enough to keep Tenma's soul alive and allow him to be rescued from the Underworld and to prevent Hades from taking over Alone's body until its effect fades after it's destroyed.]]
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Aside from their hair and eyes color, [[https://myanimelist.cdn-dena.com/images/characters/13/57001.jpg Sasha]] and [[http://ib2.huluim.com/video/60130189?region=JP&size=600x400 Alone]] look very similar to each other.
* ThreeAmigos: With Alone and Tenma.
* TheWomanWearingTheQueenlyMask: Invoked. At the event of [[spoiler:arriving to the Lost Canvas]], Tenma tells Yato that he now has to keep some distance from Athena because she's there to lead her army. Yato tells him that this isn't going to work for him because '''she is Sasha first and foremost''' and "Athena" second, and as such, she'll always want Tenma at her side.

* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette
* EverybodyHatesHades: He certainly wasn't an OmnicidalManiac in the mythology.
* GoodWingsEvilWings: Black angelic wings of evil.
* KillAllHumans: His primary goal, because humans are corrupt and don't worship or at least respect the gods anymore.
* NoBodyLeftBehind: Invoked. [[spoiler:Contrary to the original series, this Holy War against Hades did not take place in the Underworld, but in the Sky Palace. As such, when Hades is forced to abandon Alone's body, he is nothing but a soul. This is in stark contrast to the original series, where Hades uses Shun to avoid having to use his actual body, which lies within Elysium; having been forced out of Shun, he resorts to his physical body]].
* PureIsNotGood
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Invoked. Pandora, Hypnos and Tanathos are trying to make him shed the Alone personae because [[spoiler:he keeps talking about "salvation" and makes an effort to keep Athena and Pegasus alive; the ''actual'' Hades, in turn, talks about "judgement", and doesn't give a crap about anyone]].
* SealedInsideAPersonShapedCan: [[spoiler:Thanks to Athena's flower leash, Hades became trapped inside of Alone, unable to take over his body. Once the leash is destroyed, its protection begins to gradually fade and Hades's awakening becomes a matter of time - and Alone keeps track of it via the Star Clock.]]

Oneiros just didn't count on El Cid shoving him far enough to render his self-destruction harmless to the others, [[TakingTheBullet sacrificing himself in the process]].]]

--> Voiced by: Creator/HiroShimono (JP), Creator/DamanMills (EN)
* ArtInitiatesLife: ''Inversion'': Everything he paints will ''die''.
* TheAtoner: [[spoiler: After being defeated by Tenma in the last chapters and getting Hades knocked out of him, he tells Tenma and Sasha that he wishes to atone for what he did while pretending to be Hades.]]
* BigBad: [[spoiler: Until Hades's ''real'' awakening, upon Alone's defeat.]]
* {{Bishonen}}: He is very, very beautiful, both as the black-haired Hades and the blonde-haired Alone. It also helps that he has [[LongHairedPrettyBoy long hair that adds more to his looks.]]
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: And ''how''.
* DeathSeeker: [[spoiler:He wants to be killed before Hades fully takes over him. He doesn't quite get his wish as Hades becomes separated from him in the end, but he still joins Sasha and Tenma to take down Hades. Not unlike Shun.]]
* DudeLooksLikeALady: The very first thing anyone says about him is, "What the...? You look like a girl!"
* DullEyesOfUnhappiness: Subverted. Alone's eyes are quite vivid, but full of soulcrushing, heartbreaking sadness.
* EvilSoundsDeep: After his FaceHeelTurn, his voice becomes much deeper and colder, contrasting how it used to be light and warm.
* {{Expy}}: Arguably, of Shun.
* FluffyTheTerrible: His little dog can turn into Cerberus.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: The fact that after awakening to Hades’ power, he still shows very clear and blatant interest in Tenma foreshadows [[spoiler: how he’s faking being Hades for the sake of his salvation plan. This is made even clearer when the real Hades appears and doesn’t regard Tenma as anything aside from the Pegasus Saint and his ArchEnemy.]]
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Before his FaceHeelTurn, he had bright blond hair, combine with InnocentBlueEyes to further emphasize his NiceGuy personality. [[spoiler: He now [[HeelFaceTurn has blond hair again ]] thanks to Tenma knocking into him some sense.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Alongside Tenma and Sasha, to banish Hades back into the Underworld and keep him trapped there.]]
* {{Irony}}: Alone is Hades' vessel, therefore Tenma's archnemesis, but he is [[SingleTargetSexuality incredibly in love with Tenma.]]
* InsaneTrollLogic: Why he decided to kill everyone. You only suffer if you're alive, if you're dead then you will not suffer anymore, therefore death is salvation from suffering.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: He loves people, all of them, to death.
* MeaningfulName: {{Lampshaded}} by Tenma.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Alone often gets very close to Tenma and touches him tenderly. Justified because he is in love with Tenma.
* PaintItBlack: When Hades' corruption on him begins with the breakage of Sasha's charm, his hair turns from blond to black.
* PureIsNotGood: Being pure-hearted makes him a target host for Hades' soul.
* RedOniBlueOni: Blue to Tenma.
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler: He dies along with Tenma and Sasha in the last chapter to seal Hades’ soul until the next Holy War.]]
* SingleTargetSexuality: Tenma is the only one Alone loves in a romantic sense. This is confirmed in chapter 214 when Alone said [[spoiler: [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tlc_214_p11.jpg "I killed you, Pegasus, the boy I loved more than anyone else."]]]] In fact, this gets him suspected by Pandora and the Twin Gods more than a few times, because the real Hades absolutely loathes the Pegasus Saint in any form and incarnation. He often has to act especially cruel to Tenma to keep up the act to Pandora and the Twin Gods.
* ShonenHair
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: For a while, most translators could not decide between Aroon, Aloon, Arone, or Alone. His name was later officially revealed to be Alone.

* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans
* VillainTeleportation: Really fond of appearing out of nowhere and doing something very nasty.
* WeCanRuleTogether: Proposes this to Tenma and is rejected, of course.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He [[InsaneTrollLogic really believes]] that death means salvation.
* WhatBeautifulEyes: Has the most vivid eyes amongst all characters in the series. However, Alone himself thinks ''Tenma's eyes'' are this.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: After the horrible revelation that everything he painted dies, including the three orphans who lived with him and Tenma, he [[GoMadFromTheRevelation went mad with guilt]] and decided to [[spoiler: use Hades' power to kill everyone and let them have what he considered salvation.]]
* YouAreNotAlone: Tenma told him this: "I will never leave you on your own, Alone!!"

* BreakTheCutie: Not very rare. [[spoiler:Learning that the place where he grew up was ravaged by Specters and that his childhoold friend is behind it all. Aldebaran's death, while he was unconscious. Dohko's apparent death, and the fact that he blames himself (and Degel doesn't help by agreeing that it's his fault). Yato and Yuzuriha turning into stone. Finding himself face to face with his beloved mother, who came back as a Specter.]]

* {{Tsundere}}: A type A towards, surprisingly, Tenma. They are at first rivals, and Yato only agrees to help bringing back Tenma from the Underworld because he thinks Athena/Sasha will be devastated if Tenma dies. However, he shows genuine concern for Tenma and really puts a lot of efforts into helping him, and as the series progresses, they become friendlier and friendlier, enough for Yato to pull a HeroicSacrifice for Tenma despite still bickering with him on a daily basis. As in the later parts of the series, Yato now seems to be the type B instead.

** WhatBeautifulEyes: Has the most vivid eyes amongst all characters in the series. However, Alone himself thinks ''Tenma's eyes'' are this.

She clearly developed romantic feelings for Dégel. He kept the glasses that she gave him and encouraged her to continue writting, though if their relationship developed after that is unkown.

* AlwaysSaveTheGirl: During his mission in his Gaiden story and the mission he was given in the main story, he always ended up needing to save Seraphina. [[spoiler:Though the word "save" is not quite right for the latter, as [[ShipTease he chose to stay by her side]] [[AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence in death]]]].

* ShipTease: His visible affection towards [[DamselInDistress Seraphina]], especially in his anecdote.
** Seeing a man who reaches out to a woman by directly placing his hands on her cheeks [[spoiler:after some years of seperation and on his dying moments, and the inability of reciprocation as said woman has died some time ago]], seem to [[AllLoveIsUnrequited imply something]].

* [[{{UsefulNotes/Germany}} Germany]]: Country of origin. [[spoiler:More specifically, [[HauntedCastle Pandora's castle]].]]

** BadassDecay: In addition to being so injured that he [[spoiler:was demoted from Sainthood]]. Early on, he was quite useful enough that he not only saved Tenma's life, he actually had a superior kill count to most Saints including those from the original manga.
