Galaxy Kreios (星漢のクレイオス, Seikan no Kureiosu) is one of the Titans in the manga series Saint Seiya: Episode G. He was one of the last to be freed from Zeus's imprisonment by Pontos with the help of Dimension Iapetos, along with Current Okeanos, Tethys, Theia, Phoebe, Rhea, Mnemosyne and Themis. He is the Titan of Stars and Constellations.
Background[]
Kreíos is the son of Gaia and Uranus (Earth and Heaven). His wife is Eurybia, born of the union of Gaia and Pontos, and his sons were Pallas, Perses and Astraéos. The latter became the lover of Eos (Aurora), Hyperion's daughter, and spawned the stars, the Four Winds (Boreas, Noto, Euro and Zephyr) and some planets: Phainon (Saturn), Phaethon (Jupiter), Pyroeis (Mars), Hesperos (Venus) and Stilbon (Mercury).
In the mythological era, Kreios fought beside his King, Kronos, in the Titanomachy, a war against the Olympian gods, but was thrown into Tartarus after their defeat by Zeus.
Personality[]
Kreios has a cool personality. He is very serious and extremely violent. He is known as "heartless" because he acts coldly and bluntly. Kreios is also considered the most cynical of the Titans. He is shown to be a dedicated and skilled combatant. Like the other Titans, his goal is to exact revenge against the Olympian gods for their suffering in the mythological era.
Plot[]
After being revived by Pontos, Kreios attacks Capricorn Shura in Greece, after the Gold Saints defeat Phaios Spathe. The Titan holds a great advantage over Shura until Leo Aiolia intervenes. The Capricorn Saint decides to end the fight and use Excalibur to break Kreios's blade. Kreios acknowledges the strength of the Saints and leaves behind a trail to follow him.
Later, Current Okeanos retrieves Kreios's broken sword and returns it to its owner. After the fight between Dimension Iapetos and Aiolia, which ends in the death of his brother and their sister, Themis, Kreios says farewell to his beloved consort, Eurybia, and goes into battle against Shura for a second time.
At the end of the fight, the Capricorn Saint, near death due to Kreios's attacks, uses his Cosmo to move at the speed of light, traversing the body raised by his Excalibur. Surprised, Kreios aims to counterattack with his scimitar, but Shura performs a Double Excalibur to mortally wound the Titan. With his last moments of life, Kreios bequeaths his Soma to Shura, recognizing the pride and courage of humans to sacrifice themselves to achieve the impossible. At the same time, Eurybia senses her husband's death.
Abilities[]
- Skilled warrior and swordsman: Through divine Cosmo. He can heal and empower other beings through his Ichor and Dunamis.
- Standard Equipment: Scimitar Soma armor for attack and defense with its own Cosmo signature that shares/aids the Titan's regeneration; Planet Temple that acts as a manifestation of his power and can be manipulated and rebuilt at will by him.
- Intelligence: Years of experience fighting wars against other Gods.
Techniques[]
- Aster Blade (星断剣（アステル ブレイド）, Asuteru Bureido): The star-cutting scimitar materialized by his Cosmo can cut physical bodies, energy and souls at once also being able of bypassing armors, in close quarters or with ranged attacks, disrupting the enemy's power.
- Aster Choreía (星断円斬（アステルコレイア), Asuteru Koreia, lit. "Circle Dance of Stars", from the Greek αστερ χορεία): A cutting swirl with Soma to absorb the blood, drain the memory, power, and technique of the enemy.
- Aster Kyklos (星断光輪（アステルキュクロス）, Asuteru Kyukurosu): Shoots the power gained from the Aster Khoreia as a cutting ring of light. This attack can also drain power, memory, and technique of the enemy.
- Orichalcum Blade (神鋼刃（オリハルコンブレイド, Oriharukon Bureido): After Kreios creates a world of Orichalcum (a material very hard to manipulate and destroy) inside a different universe from his Temple, Kreios controls the Orichalcum as spikes against his enemy.
- {{Translation|Aster Shield|星護盾（アステルシールド）|Asuteru Shīrudo)}: To reach his most powerful state, Kreios turns all the Cosmo from his world into a planet-shaped shield over his arm that exceeds the power of his Aster Blade. The shield can be released to attack on its own, and it is strong enough to paralyze the muscles and nerves of a Gold Saint with a single strike.
- Shield Bash (盾打（シールドバッシュ）, Shīrudo Basshu)
- Sōshinken (蒼神剣, lit. "Blue Divine Sword"): After his blade was cut off, Kreios forges his most powerful weapon by drawing his own Ichor and absorbing it into his handle, shaping it into a Dunamis sword that can keep feeding on the constantly regenerating Ichor of Kreios.
