5 [[caption-width-right:350:The Silver Saints]]
6
7The Silver Saints are the middle tier of Athena's Saints. Numbering ~24-28, the Silver Saints are mainly used by the Sanctuary to command groups of Bronze Saints in missions, and are said to be five times stronger and faster than the latter. Silver Saints are better attuned to their Cosmos than Bronze Saints, and some are said to be as powerful as Gold Saints. They are noted to have several tools and weapons on some of their cloths.
8
9Most of the Silver Saints shown in the original series are shown to be proudful, ruthless and sadistic, mainly as antagonists to the Bronze Saints, save from some exceptions.
10
11Following the Galaxian Tournament, Pope Arles (Gigars and later Phaeton in the anime) tasks the Silver Saints with hunting down the Bronze Saints and Saori Kido, as the Bronze Saints are deemed to have used their cloths and status for personal gain, and Saori is accused of both promoting this, and later for "falsely" declaring herself as Athena incarnate.

15[[folder: In General]]
16* AnimalMotifs: Some Silver Cloths are represented by animals[[note]]Better said, minus "Tarantula", constellations that represent animals[[/note]]:
17** Aquila: Eagle;
18** Ophiuchus: Snakes;
19** Lacerta: Lizard;
20** Cetus/Kaitos: Whale;
21** Canes Venatici: Dogs/Hounds;
22** Corvus: Crows;
23** Musca: Flies.
24** Also the [[FillerVillain Filler Villains]] "Peacocks" Shiva and "Tarantula" Arachne.
25* AntiVillain:
26** They are just JustFollowingOrders and believe that Saori Kido is a imposter trying to take the real Athena's place. They ARE very antagonistic and even cruel against the bronzes, though.
27** Their antagonistic nature is a reflection of Athena's absence in the Sanctuary and the Pope's own ruthlessness.
28* BackFromTheDead: In the ''Hades OVA'', the deceased silver saints are revived by Hades and went after Seiya and co. for revenge [[spoiler:(Actually, they have gone along with Shion's plot)]], however the now-stronger Bronze Saints easily defeat them again.
29** Asterion, Jamian and Ptolemy are not shown, unless they were defeated by Ikki off-screen.
30* InformedAttribute: In theory, the Silver Saints are mighty warriors whose powers are five times greater then Bronze and only outmatched by the Gold Saints. In practice, they're cannon fodder, existing to be dispatched by the main characters with little trouble.
31* MiddleChildSyndrome: Unlike the Bronze Saints, who are main characters, and the Gold Saints, who are at the top of the LawOfChromaticSuperiority and became [[BreakoutCharacter the focus of most spin-offs]], the Silver Saints are, mostly, a OutOfFocus QuirkyMinibossSquad that are reduced to [[WeAreTeamCannonFodder "Team Cannon Fodder"]] not long after being introduced. That said, there are some exceptions, like Marin, Shaina, Misty and Orphee.
32* MilesGloriosus: Their attitudes are a reflection of Athena's absence from the Sanctuary, having faced little accountability for their deeds, and thus convincing themselves that they're invincible. Granted, they are strong, but only up to a point, and worse, to one that is eventually reached and surpassed by the Bronze saints.
33* MonsterThreatExpiration: The first silver saints sent to assassinate Saori Kido: Misty, Asterion, anime-Babel and Algol are formidable foes, however, the next ones to appear keep getting weaker than the previous ones, even when it's two or three silver saints against one Bronze Saint, they still lose pathetically. The last one, Sagitta Ptolemy, is killed by Seiya with a single attack, and Seiya lampshades how weak he was.
34** {{Justified}} in that [[NoNonsenseNemesis Phaeton sent in the strongest one at the start to try and finish it early]], and when they unexpectedly failed the others just weren't up to the task, with the exception Shaina who hadn't been part of the initial group due [[AxCrazy being too unstable]].
35* {{Revenge}}:
36-->'''A Silver Saint:''' ''I will avenge Misty [[AndTheRest and the others]]! Die Seiya!''
37* SmallNameBigEgo:
38-->'''A Silver Saint:''' ''To compare a Bronze Saint to a Silver one is like comparing a worm to [[AGodAmI a god]].''
39** Which leads to:
40-->'''The same Silver Saint:''' ''ThisCannotBe A Silver Saint defeated by a Bronze one!''
41* SoldiersAtTheRear: In the absence of Athena, they had no impetus to get stronger and reach their whole potential as the reliable saints they were supposed to be. Their hubris cost most of them their lives.
42* ThemeNaming:
43** AnimalThemeNaming: Tarantula Arachne; "Arachne" being the Greek for spider.
44** NamedAfterSomebodyFamous:
45*** Dante refers to ''Creator/DanteAlighieri'', the author of ''Literature/TheDivineComedy''.
46*** Daidalos is named after the Mythical Greek Inventor/Craftsman/Artisan.
47*** Ptolemy as in ''Claudius Ptolemaeus'', the famous Roman astronomer.
48** ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming:
49*** Asterion is the father of Minos and the king of Crete.
50*** [[Literature/MosesManOfTheMountain Moses]], who led his people out of Egypt, from [[Literature/BookOfExodus the Bible]]. He had to split the Red Sea to cross it, which Whale Moses did when he arrived at the beach.
51*** Babel is named after the ''TowerOfBabel'' from the Bible.
52*** Heracles/Herakles (or Hercules) and Ares are from the ''Myth/ClassicalMythology''.
53*** Shiva is a deity of Hinduism.
54*** Orpheus from Greek Mythology. [[note]]It is not explicitedly stated that Lyra Orphée and the Orpheus of Greek mythologies are one and the same, though their respective stories occurred in different timelines.[[/note]]
55** StellarName:
56*** Algol is the bright star from the Perseus Constellation, also called the Demon Star.
57*** Sirius is one of the stars in Canis Major.

61!!Aquila Marin
62!!!'''Voiced By:''' Creator/YurikoYamamoto (1986-2004 JP), Fumiko Inoue (2005-Present JP), Creator/EriKitamura (Manga/SaintSeiyaSaintiaSho JP), Tracey Hoyt ([=DiC=] EN), Creator/ChristineAuten (ADV EN), Maggie Flecknoe (Sentai/Netflix EN), Creator/MonicaManjarrez (Latin America), Selica Torcal and Virginia Carrera (Spain), Adriana Libretti (Italy)
63[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/PA011-Marine_1361.jpg]]
64
65* ActionGirl: She is the strongest amazon, as stated in the [[AllThereInTheManual databook "Saint Seiya Taizen"]] and seen in the sequel ''Manga/SaintSeiyaNextDimension''. However, [[FauxActionGirl in the anime]]...
66* AdaptationalWimp: In the anime, she frequently has to be rescued and loses almost every battle she stars in, including a friendly sparring match against Shaina (despite being stated as her equal) and even to several enemies far below Silver Saint level, including a bunch of regular Sanctuary soldiers (weaker than even the weakest of Bronze Saints) and a washout who was disqualified from eligibility to Sainthood (granted that the guy was a hulking brute, but he didn't know how to use Cosmo power at all).
67* BigBrotherMentor: Ultimately subverted when it was revealed she wasn't Seiya's elder sister after all, with her younger brother being another warrior different from Seiya.
68* CallingYourAttacks:
69** '''Ryūsei Ken''' (Meteor Punch). Her main attack. She hits with her fist hundreds times in one second to generate a punch burst, much like a meteor shower. This is the technique she taught Seiya.
70** '''Eagle Toe Flash'''. She used this attack to beat Hound Asterion, and it's like a really powerful DivingKick.
71* CoolMask: Like all female Saints, she has to cover her face with a mask to renounce her female side.
72* DesignatedGirlFight: Anime-only. There is a fight with Shaina where Marin gets her butt kicked with soldiers watching. The beating is too hard she needs to be saved by Aeolia.
73** ''Next Dimension'' issue #56 has Marin fighting her old rival Ophiuchus Shaina (actually the first time they openly battle each other in the manga continuity), [[spoiler:with Marin defeating Shaina via an Eagle Toe Flash kick to the stomach, further disproving the anime-inspired notion that Shaina is a better fighter than her]].
74* DrillSergeantNasty: Tends to be characterized like this specially in later media such as the ''Saintia Sho'' spinoff.
75* FakeDefector: When she tried to protect Seiya by pretending to kill him and then burying him on the beach.
76* FashionableAsymmetry: Her armor only has pauldrons on her left side.
77* FieryRedhead: Averted, she's strong-willed but nowhere as impulsive as Seiya.
78* GoodIsNotDumb: One of the few Silver Saints to distrust the Pope.
79* InformedAttribute: It is mentioned by Asterion that she forgot her past ever since she put on her mask but it is never confirmed by Marin herself.
80* LeotardOfPower: Very visible considering that her cloth covers a little bit of the wearers body.
81%%* LadyOfWar
82* LongLostRelative: [[spoiler: Memorably subverted... she was ''very'' strongly hinted to be the grown-up Seika, but she wasn't. It's revealed her real little brother is called Toma and he is one of other god's Angels, because he wanted to become a god.]]
83* MentorOccupationalHazard: [[spoiler:Averted for now, but she's had a few close calls from having Seiya as a student.]]
84* RedHerring: [[spoiler: At the end of the series, it turned out that she was never Seiya's missing sister after all.]]
85* RedOniBlueOni: Blue Oni to Shaina.
86* ShipTease: With Aeolia. In episode G, Aeolia is the one who seems to have a crush on her; however, in the anime, it is the other way around.
87* SpannerInTheWorks: She derails Aphrodite's BatmanGambit by putting her mask on Seiya and pulling him away from the rose path. This allows Seiya to breath normally and recover his strength, thus giving him the resolve to destroy it.
88* TheWorfEffect: Anime only. Despite being Seiya's mentor and defeating Asterion, she loses pretty much every other fight.
89* TokenGoodTeammate: She's one of the very few Silver Saints still loyal to Athena, and by extention to Seiya and the other main Bronzes. She was in the squad of Silver Saints who attacked Seiya at the shore along with Misty, Moses and Asterion, and tried to fake Seiya's death to protect him from Misty and the other Silvers. After she's done defeating Asterion, she departs leaving behind a note telling Seiya to protect Athena and later continues to spy on the Sanctuary to warn her pupil about other assassin Saints sent to kill him. It's also Marin who's the first one to discover the real Pope's deceased body in Star Hill, and that therefore the Pope ruling in Sanctuary is an impostor.
90* TwoGirlsToATeam: Both her and Shaina are the only female Silver Saints.
91* WorfHadTheFlu:
92** During her first fight against Moses and Asterion, Marin was caught off-guard by the latter MindProbe powers, which were used to warn Moses of Marin's attacks, and allow him to perfectly counter them.
93** A more proper example would be her battle with Alberich in the Asgard saga, where she manages to give him some trouble before the God Warrior blinds her with acid and finishes her off with his Amethist Shield technique. This, along with other of God Warriors' feats makes it clear that the powers of Asgard's God Warriors are comparable to those of the Gold Saints.

96[[folder: Ophiuchus Shaina]]
97!!!'''Voiced By:''' Creator/MamiKoyama (1986-2004 JP), Creator/YukaKomatsu (2005-Present JP), Creator/KatieGriffin ([=DiC=] EN), Creator/KiraVincentDavis (ADV EN), Creator/KatelynBarr (Sentai/Netflix EN), Maru Guerrero (Latin America), Creator/JasmineLaurenti (Italy)
98[[quoteright:198:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/PA021-Shainafixed2_8624.jpg]]
99
100* TheAce: In the anime, she's the strongest Saint who did not awaken to the Seventh Sense, even topping [[PersonOfMassDestruction Misty]]. Even before Shaina became a Saint, she was known to Seiya as the toughest and fiercest of all the female Saint candidates in training.
101* AdaptationalBadass: She has several more attempts at assassinating Seiya in the 80s TV series, and almost succeeded. In addition, she practically beats Marin in every clash they have.
102* AdaptationDyeJob: She has black hair in the manga.
103* AxCrazy: Known for being the most violent and most powerful of all female Saints.
104* BestHerToBedHer: To Seiya, in a ''really'' heartbreaking way. He never showed any romantic feelings for Shaina, and only fought her out of self defense. You can't really blame Seiya, since Shaina was ''very'' unhinged.
105* BettyAndVeronica: She's the Veronica to Saori's Betty (who ironically is the Veronica to Miho's Betty.), being a tough female warrior whereas Saori is an {{Ojou}}.
106* CallingYourAttacks: '''Thunder Claw'''. Shaina's only known technique. To perform it, she raises its claws, feigning a Cobra, which shows a powerful electric shock. The enemy ends up being damaged both by the electric shock and by the sharp claws.
107* CombatStilettos: They can shatter the Earth...
108* CoolMask: Like all female Saints. Sanctuary's laws force female Saints to cover their feminine faces with masks.
109* DarkActionGirl: [[GoodIsNotNice Even after her]] HighHeelFaceTurn.
110* DeadSidekick: [[spoiler:Her disciple, Cassios.]]
111* DefrostingIceQueen: Sarcastic, confrontational and '''very''' bitchy... until Seiya makes her reveal her much more pleasant inner self.
112* DesignatedGirlFight: Early on in the anime, she defeats Marin giving her a vicious beating, and again in the Poseidon saga when she defeats Mermaid Thetis.
113* TheDreaded: Seiya didn't show any fear whenever confronted by the Silver Saints... Unless Shaina was around. {{Justified}} in the anime, as he didn't fear her until their second fight, a CurbStompBattle that ended with Shaina beating him until he could no longer move, then putting him in a sleeper hold and preparing to either slit his throat with her [[FemmeFatalons long nails]] or even ''claw his face out'' before [[BigDamnHeroes Marin saved him]]. By their third (and last) fight, Seiya is finally able to defeat her, and even that ''don't'' stop Shaina to come for more!
114* DubNameChange:
115** Shaina is renamed "[[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Tisifone]]" in Italian. Named after [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tisiphone the Fury that punishes murder and killed the mortal stupid enough to reject her love]].
116** Her Thunder Claw attack is renamed "Cobra Incantatore" (Mesmerizing Cobra). The Latin American dub would do a variation: instead of [[CallingYourAttacks saying the name of the attack]], Shaina would yell "¡A mi, Cobra!" (To me, Cobra), summoning the power of the cobra.
117* EvilCounterpart: Starts as this to Marin.
118* FemmeFatalons: Her long, sharp, violet-lacquered nails hint at her bitchiness, much like Geist. But she also uses them to electrocute and claw away at her foes.
119* HighHeelFaceTurn: After failing several times in killing him, Shaina slowly swayed more towards Seiya's side after that is revealed that she felt she had to love him.
120* InkSuitActor: By heavy technicality. Her Japanese voice actress, Mami Koyama, was previously married to Seiya's voice actor Tōru Furuya, prior to the start of the series. Although Koyama and Furuya's divorce was amicable and the two are still on good terms, it would not be the last time they worked together, or the last time cast as two characters with a romantic connection.
121* LadyOfWar: When she ''stops'' being AxCrazy.
122* LeotardOfPower: Wears this like all female Saints.
123* LightningBruiser: Pretty much any Saint, but she's the one who drives it home in her first fight with Seiya when he attacks with ''85 punches per second'' and she not only blocks them all but ''berates him for expecting her to be hit by someone who can strike a mere 85 times per second'' (yes, she counted them).
124* MadeOfIron: She survived the Pegasus' technique that killed Misty, ''without'' a barrier to soften the initial hit. She still was defeated, though.
125* NoNonsenseNemesis: To Seiya in the anime, once she acknowledges his abilities, trying to kill him while he's defenseless multiple times (the final one when he's hospitalized and ''tied to the bed'' due to his attempts at escaping) and assuming he survived when he threw himself down a cliff to escape her.
126* PluckyGirl: At first because of her AxCrazy quotient, but after her HighHeelFaceTurn, she's more of the real deal.
127* RedOniBlueOni: Red Oni to Marin.
128* SecondaryColorNemesis: Her Ophiuchus Cloth is purple and her hair and pants are green, and she was Seiya's (and Marin's) enemy for a long time.
129* SexyMentor: To Cassios.
130* ShockAndAwe: All her special attacks involve some form of electricity, especially thunder.
131* SnakesAreSexy: A lot of people in-universe point out how beautiful and sexy she is, despite her upfront bitchiness.
132* StatuesqueStunner: Played with. Her [[AllThereInTheManual official stats]] give her a rather average height but the anime always makes her taller than the main Bronze Saints and as tall as most other male Saints.
133* TakingTheBullet: [[spoiler:For Seiya, several times]].
134* TakingAThirdOption: Subverted. She only has two choices regarding Seiya. She must kill him or love him. The fact that Seiya doesn't seem to be in love with her is only making it harder for her.
135* TwoGirlsToATeam: Both her and Marin to the other Silver Saints.
136* WakeUpCallBoss: To Seiya, twice:
137** The first time was after he got his Cloth and believed himself invincible. Then he fought Shaina, both without Cloth... And [[CurbStompBattle she casually deflected all of his attacks while]] ''[[CurbStompBattle counting them]]'' [[CurbStompBattle before mauling him]].
138** The second (anime only) time was when they met again after Docrates' defeat and fought, this time both with their Cloths. After his recent victories Seiya thought he had nothing to fear from anyone anymore-and it ended with him in a sleeper hold with Shaina ready to ''claw his face out'' before Marin saved him. [[TheDreaded He never stopped fearing her again]] until she switched sides.
139** Their third and last fight have Seiya finally besting her and suplexing her into a wall.
140* WomanScorned: Sort of. Initially, Seiya never ''rejected'' her, but his refusal of fighting her full force infuriates her to no end. Somewhat subverted on their last battles, when Seiya fought seriously, since take easy with Shaina would mean certain kill for him.
141* TheWorfEffect: Gets hit by this in the Asgard arc being defeated by Bud.

147[[quoteright:184:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/PA031-Misty3_9377.jpg]]
148->''"My beauty is truly godlike..."''
149
150* TheAce: Perfect mission record, and never harmed, or even hit at all, before his final mission. {{Lampshaded}} in the anime: all the other Silver Saints held him in high regard, even Shaina (who is objectively more powerful, having survived the same technique that killed Misty), thinking he alone would be more than enough to kill them all-and making a point of avenging him after they get over the shock of his completely unexpected death.
151* AdaptedOut: Partially. In the anime, the parts given to anime-only Docrates were originaly Misty's in the manga.
152* ArrogantKungFuGuy: Misty was very proud of his status as a Silver Saint, dismissed the Bronze Saints as something he could easily wipe out. But astonishingly not so much after Seiya defeated him.
153* AwesomenessIsAForce: Finding out ''who'' was the guy who had just demanded his suicide scared ''Seiya''.
154* BarbieDollAnatomy: In the manga, during the famous bath scene. The anime uses a CensorShadow instead.
155* BarrierWarrior: With his '''Air Shield''' Misty vibrates his hands to create a barrier, which is able to shield him from attacks.
156* CallingYourAttacks:
157** '''Mavrou Trippa'''. Meaning "Black Hole" in Greek, an attack using two fingers to create a violent wind swirl.
158** '''Air Shield'''. Misty vibrates his hand to create a barrier, which would be able to shield himself from attacks.
159* CradlingYourKill: Got this from Seiya. After Seiya defeated him, he carried Misty, and in [[BridalCarry bridal style at that.]] [[http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Dxl0pr27-xw/UserJB08LkI/AAAAAAAAFlE/AbafxtKBIW0/SaintSeiya_Vol04C021_037.jpg?imgmax=0 Just look.]]
160* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: In the manga he was the one to kill [[spoiler:Ikki the first time and blow up Mt. Fuji in the process]].
161* TheDreaded: In the anime he was the ''only'' Silver Saint to scare Seiya besides Shaina. And while Shaina was feared due the terrifying CurbStompBattle she had inflicted on him in their second fight, Misty obtained this result by reputation alone.
162* DubNameChange: Eris in Italy.
163* FaceDeathWithDignity: Misty spent his last moments calmly walking out of the sea water and [[GracefulLoser acknowledging his defeat as well as Seiya's merits]] before falling dead on the sand.
164* {{Foil}}: To the Gold Saint Pisces Aphrodite. Androgynous? Check. Narcissist? Check. Considered the most dangerous Saint on his respective berth? Check.
165* GenreSavvy: When Marin apparently kills Seiya before his eyes he quips that he didn't think she had it in her to kill her apprentice... Then talks Marin into leaving and digs up Seiya from his grave, as he ''still'' didn't think she had it in her to kill her apprentice. {{Justified}} in the anime, as a previous encounter between Seiya and Shaina had ended with Marin "claiming" the right to execute her "traitorous apprentice" only to save his life and Shaina had warned Misty about a possible repeat.
166* GracefulLoser: Surprisingly. Misty appeared rather arrogant so it would be normal to expect him to be a SoreLoser. But after Seiya landed a fatal blow on him, he just calmly said that probably he had been wrong all along about his obsession with not getting wounded, then [[GoOutWithASmile died peacefully with a smile]].
167* HeroOfAnotherStory: ''Manga/SaintSeiyaEpisodeG'' shows he has at least six years of experience destroying monsters before his fatal mission in Tokyo.
168* LongHairedPrettyBoy: He has long blond hair that falls down his back and he sure knows he's pretty.
169* TheMagnificent: In the anime Shaina refers to him as "''The'' Silver Saint" in spite of being a Silver Saint herself. Many others, including other Silver Saints, will later do the same.
170* NakedPeopleAreFunny: Nobody expected Misty to actually strip in the middle of his fight. The moment was so popular, that they actually turned naked [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/20111207_39e3bc_1739.jpg Misty into a Myth Cloth Figure... in 2011]]!
171* {{Narcissist}}: Misty is a narcissist who considered himself inferior only to the goddess Athena herself. Given that Misty only likes himself, if he ever falls in love, it will probably be with his reflection in the water.
172* NoNonsenseNemesis: Went immediately for the kill as soon as he met Seiya, when Marin claimed the kill and buried Seiya he ''dug up the body'' to check only to find out Seiya was still alive, and after giving Seiya a free shot because he ''knew'' he could block it with the Air Shield he went immediately for the kill again. Indeed, [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness the one moment he's not gives Seiya an important clue on how to beat him]].
173** His mission to Tokyo is him being the agent of one in both anime and manga: in the manga he's part of one of ''two squadrons of Silver Saints sent to kill five rogue '''Bronze''' Saints'', and in the anime he's sent by Phaeton because [[TheAce even Shaina knows he can kill Saori's Saints by himself]]. {{Deconstructed}} in the anime, as when Seiya unexpectedly comes out on top the strongest fighter he has authority on is [[AxCrazy Shaina]].
174* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: During his fight with Seiya he's utterly pragmatic and ruthless... Except for when Seiya, after barely surviving his attack, catches him without Cloth or clothes in the water and he doesn't take advantage of [[PleasePutSomeClothesOn the Bronze Saint being too weirded out by his nudity to attack]]. This is so unlike him that even ''[[IdiotHero Seiya]]'' realizes something was off, and guessing that [[spoiler:neither the Mavrou Trippa nor the Air Shield work in water]] help Seiya overcome his enemy.
175* PersonOfMassDestruction: Any Saint is one, but Misty is the one who demonstrates it first in the manga when he blows up ''Mount Fuji''. [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter He's not the strongest Saint, not even between the ones who haven't mastered Seventh Sense]].
176* PrideBeforeAFall: Starts the fight off by bragging how he had never been struck in battle.
177* RealMenWearPink: Wears a pink sleeveless suit in the anime version. Despite everything, he's still one of the most powerful silver saints.
178* ShamelessFanserviceGuy: He had no problem stripping stark naked and taking a bath [[SkewedPriorities in the middle of the fight]] just to [[MinorInjuryOverreaction clean a small drop of blood]] on his neck. Seiya was understandably [[PleasePutSomeClothesOn not amused.]]
179* SympathyForTheDevil: Seiya regrets killing him as, in his opinion, he had what it takes to be a hero (in the French dub ; The Japanese still has him commend how fierce a foe he was). Seiya gives him a BridalCarry and lay him neatly on the sand as a way to [[WorthyOpponent honor him.]]

190* GoodScarsEvilScars: Has a scar on his left eye.
191* {{Gorn}}: He throws you in the air and uppercuts your head causing '''a lot''' of blood to spurt out.
192* MightyGlacier: Huge and powerful, he fails to follow Marin's attacks and the duel would have been much more different had Asterion not interfered.
193* RedOniBlueOni: Red Oni to Asterion's Blue Oni, being more aggressive and intimidating.
194* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Moses or Mozes. His constellation is named Cetus, Kaitos or Whale.

201
202
203* CallingYourAttacks:
204** '''Satori no ho'''. Although not an attack per se, with it he can anticipate his enemies' movements, allowing him to easily counter their attacks. He used his ability against Marin, anticipating her moves and directing Moses' attacks and later against Seiya. The skill is useless if the enemy can create a vacuum in the mind, which Marin did to defeat him.
205** '''Million Ghost Attack'''. Asterion uses his mind reading ability to anticipate his enemy moves, dodge them, and counter by striking at their PressurePoint. This technique is different in the anime version, where Asterion multiplicates himself, and all of his replicas attack at once with a single energy blast.
206* DoppelgangerAttack: His Million Ghost Attack in the anime. See above.
207* NoManOfWomanBorn: Asterion said that he would not fall to a Bronze Saint. In the anime, Marin kills him, while in the manga he was killed for his failure (presumably by the Pope) after returning to the Sanctuary empty-handed.
208* OhCrap: His reaction once he realizes that Marin's mind is cleared and he cannot anticipate her movements.
209* LogicalWeakness: Asterion needs to read his opponents minds in order to dodge and counter their attacks; Marin clears her mind, making his ability useless.
210* PsychicPowers: Can read minds. More specifically, Telepathy. In her only anime victory, Marin has to completely clear her mind to kill him.
211* PutOnABus: Manga Only. In the anime, Marin kills him but in the manga, she tells him she is disappointed that he of all people would accept the Pope and tells him to go and confront him. However, his [[spoiler:BusCrash is revealed in the Hades Saga: there is a tombstone with his name on it. We can only assume his meeting with the Pope did not go well.]]
212* RedOniBlueOni: Blue Oni to Moses's Red Oni, being more intelligent and laid-back.

221* AdaptationalBadass: While in the manga he is [[CurbStompBattle easily defeated]] by Hyoga, the anime adaptation made him powerful enough to hold his own against the five bronze saints.
222* CallingYourAttacks: '''Fotia Roufihtra'''.
223* CombatPragmatist: In the anime he attacks Shun, Shiryuu and Ikki are without Cloth and Seiya is exhausted from going through [[TheAce Misty]], Moses and Asterion (the latter of which actually beat him), with Hyoga, the only one Clothed and not tired, being at disadvantage against his flames. He comes quite close to kill Hyoga, with the explicit intention of killing everyone else as soon as he was dealt with, before the Steel Saints show up.
224* OneManArmy: In the Anime, he was giving the ''five'' main protagonists quite some troubles until the Steel Saints step in. Up until then, Hyoga was the only one wearing his cloth at the moment (besides Seiya, who was still recovering from a previous battle) and was barely holding him off.
225* OutOfTheInferno: His entrance, in the Grado Colosseum, in the anime.

235* AttackAnimal: His crows.
236* BaldOfEvil: He is bald in the manga only. Subverted in the anime.
237* TheBeastmaster: Jamian's reputation of being able to control crows is quite exaggerated. He boasts they almost function like a part of himself.
238* BewareTheSillyOnes: He may be an idiot and the ButtMonkey, but he's ''still'' a Silver Saint. Seiya learns this the hard way when Jamian uses the Black Wing Shift and nearly gets suffocated to death by his crows' feathers.
239* ButtMonkey: Does not get respect by Shaina.
240* CallingYourAttacks: '''Black Wing Shaft'''.
241** Renamed ''Damian's Black Wing'' in the Italian dub, which prompted Pegasus to claim that it sounds like a B-movie's title.
242* DisneyVillainDeath: In the anime adaptation, he accidentally falls off this same cliff while trying to dodge Shun's attack.
243* ForgotAboutHisPowers: In the anime, he dies after falling from a cliff, despite his cloth having ''wings''.
244* {{Gonk}}: Has a very ugly face.
245* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Saori turns his crows against him. [[SubvertedTrope Although that wasn't what did him in.]]
246* IHaveYouNowMyPretty: The first thing he did when he kidnapped Saori is look [[PantyShot under her dress]].
247* LargeHam: Has the mannerism of one.
248* NonActionGuy: Averted. His crows do most of the work. But blink and you'll miss it, he actually uses martial arts briefly.
249* NonstandardCharacterDesign: He actually looks more like a Anime/LupinIII character.
250* VillainousBreakdown: On the receiving end of one after Athena/Saori turns his ravens on him. And after getting knocked by Shun's chain, he walks aimlessly towards his doom, lamenting the loss of his ravens.

256->''"Heh... Don't worry. One enemy or five hundred.. It makes no difference to Algol, the Perseus Saint. Any who stand before me will be petrified."''
257
258* CallingYourAttacks: '''R'has Al'Ghul Gorgoneio''' (which means "Head of the Ghoul Gorgoneion"). He leaps high into the air while he creates an illusion of tons of serpents and assaults his victim with a mighty kick, likely stronger than a regular kick due to its height, and possible Cosmo energy use.
259* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Relied heavily on it from the beginning of the battle to the end when Shiryu's fist punched through it and into his heart.
260* NoEyeInMagic: Averted. The shield's power works even if the target closes or covers their eyes, because it passes through blindfolds and eyelids and goes directly into the retinas. Of note, the Dragon Shield is actually strong enough to protect Shiryu from it, but he can't land a decisive blow against Algol while ''also'' keeping his eyes shielded that way.
261* NoOntologicalInertia: People turned to stone by the shield's power will go back to normal if it is broken.
262* NothingUpMySleeve: His Medusa Shield on his back.
263* OneManArmy: Petrifies both Seiya and Shun and, in the anime, manages to beat the Steel Saints trio. The only way he could be defeated was for Shiryu to [[EyeScream gouge out his own eyes]].
264* StoryBreakerPower: Downplayed. Algol is not on the same level as a Gold Saint, but his petrifying shield is pretty much a OneHitKill against anyone that that doesn't known about its effects, regardless of their power.
265* TakenForGranite: Algol can use the legendary Medusa Shield (based on the Greek mythological monster, Medusa), that can transform anyone who looks directly to it into stone.
266* WouldHurtAChild: He petrifies [[KickTheDog and then smashes three kids]] who tried to run away from the Sanctuary, after having promised he would let them go. Aeolia calls him out on it, but he didn't care.
267** Not to mention, the Saints he petrifies [[spoiler: and the one who defeats and kills him]] are between 13 and 15 years old. If we count the Steel Saints too, then the age limit is even lower.

277* EvilRedhead: Has red hair.
278* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: Capela suffers the most violent death in the anime, being brainwashed into chopping-off his own hands with his saucers.

345[[caption-width-right:145: Manga Version]]
346
347* AdaptationalAttractiveness: In the anime, he had long blond hair and blue eyes and his Cloth was far more elaborate.
348* AdaptationalBadass: Daidalos was an average Silver Saint. His anime counterpart Albiore was not only the strongest Silver Saint revealed in the 1980s TV series with the power rivaling that the Gold Saints, he stalemated Milo and it took the direct intervention of Aphrodite to finally turn the tide. The original manga version Daidalos was killed so quick and easy there's not even a flashback.
349* AdaptationDyeJob: Short black hair in the manga, long blond hair in the anime.
350* AscendedExtra: In the manga, Daidalos only appeared in one chapter, he only had June and Shun as his trainees. While he was described as strong, [[spoiler: he died easily with Aphrodite standing over his body. Aphrodite himself could [[ButForMeItWasTuesday barely remember it]].]] In the anime, Albiore was in five episodes, strong enough to give a Gold Saint a run for their money, [[AdaptationalAttractiveness more handsome]], had several students, and a couple of extra scenes including one where he taught the use of Cosmo to Shun.
351* BlueOni: To Guilty, both versions.
352* BoringButPractical: Albiore's Cloth design. Unlike the other Cloth designs that have super elaborate folds or form the shape of animals or objects his is just a straight up suit. However, except for the headgear, it covers up just as well as a Gold Cloth.
353* CallingYourAttacks: Adverted, both versions. He is the only Saint in the entire series that hasn't shown his own signature technique.
354* DefiantToTheEnd: Both stood up for Shun.
355* DualWielding: Albiore.
356* GoodIsNotDumb: One of the few Silvers to not trust the Pope. [[spoiler: Hence why he was killed.]]
357* IdenticalStranger: Just like Esmeralda is simple a blonde a gender-flipped Shun, Daidalos is an older version of Ikki (''Manga only'').
358* MentorOccupationalHazard: Both versions.
359* MrExposition: Albiore. Did he really need to explain the myth of Andromeda on a place called Andromeda Island right before Shun was about to take his test?
360** Subverted with Daidalos who simply told June [[IDidWhatIHadToDo that he was doing what Shun wanted]].
361* NotTheFallThatKillsYou: Albiore. Was thrown into the sky from Milo's initial attack and somehow fought evenly with him afterwards.
362* ParentalSubstitute: Both symbolically and literally.
363* PosthumousCharacter
364** SacrificialLamb: The writers needed a good reason for Shun to purposedly kill someone.
365* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Daidalos? Didaros? Daidaros? Dedalo? Albiore? Alviore? Albion? Albione? Arubiore?
366* VariableLengthChain: In the anime, and one of his chains ends in a cross too!

379* DubNameChange: With MeaningfulName and StellarName, he's referred to as Betelgeuse in Italy, after the "arrow" in Orion's constellation. In the Latin American dub, he's referred to as "Sagittarius Tremi", implying he's in line to become the new Saint of Sagittarius.
380* ExactlyWhatIAimedAt: [[spoiler: He hit Saori ''square in the chest'' with his single real arrow, heavily incapacitating the poor girl and throwing a huge wrench in the Saints' plans.]]
381* {{Expy}}: Of the Ghost Saint Sagitta Maya from first movie. They have exactly the same Cloth, but Maya has an attack based on poisoned arrows.
382* ImprobableHairstyle: Just look at it.

391
392* TheAce: His control of the Cosmo was so great that he gained the reputation of being above the level of Gold Saints, a reputation that even a lower ranking Bronze Saint like Seiya was aware of. It's also hinted that Orphée has awakened the Eighth Sense by the fact that he went into the Underworld remaining alive.
393* AdaptationDyeJob: He's blond in the manga and has a pink Cloth.
394* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: With Eurydice.
395* CallingYourAttacks:

397** '''Stringer Fine''': The last of Orphée's Melodies, similar to Benetnasch Mime's "String Requiem". Here, the lyre's strings trap and shred anything of Orphée's choosing.
398** '''Death-Trip Serenade''': Here, he uses a requiem to send his opponents to sleep for days, or well into eternal somnolence.
399* DeathByFlashback: [[spoiler: Received more back story of his origins than most of the main characters before getting killed.]]

404** His ''gift'' for Hades was a trunk full of flowers [[spoiler: with two Saints ready to assassinate the Lord of the Underworld]].
405* ForcedSleep: He uses his lyre to send his opponents to sleep for days, or well into eternal somnolence.
406* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Orphée sacrificed his body to give Seiya a good shot at Rhadamanthys. Seiya reluctantly threw his Pegasus Ryusei Ken at both Rhadamanthys and the fatally injured Lyra Saint.]]
407* InstrumentOfMurder: His lyre works as a deadly weapon.
408* LivingLegend: His first appearance had Shun and Seiya gushing about how powerful and legendary he was among Saint lore.
409* MasterOfThreads: His lyre's strings trap and shred anything of Orphée's choosing.
410* RealMenWearPink: In the colored version of the manga, his Cloth is light pink.
411* ReluctantWarrior: Orphée never felt all that interested in his fighting abilities; rather, he enjoyed devoting his free time playing lyre for various audiences.
412* RememberTheNewGuy: His first appearance in volume 24 has Seiya and Shun gushing about this legendary silver knight, but it's also ''the first time'' he was mentioned to the manga readers.

437* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His name is often mistaken as ''Arles''.
438* YouAreInCommandNow: Half the job of the Altar Saint is to take over as acting Pope if the incumbent one dies without a successor until Athena can indicate the new one, as seen in the novel "Gigantomachia" when Nikol, the new Altar Saint, acts as the new Pope for the time being.

Spartan is speculated by fans to be the Pyxis Saint and is grouped with the Silver Saints; later in ''The Lost Canvas'', a minor character by the name of Pyxis Rusk was introduced, although Rusk is a Bronze Saint.
