Experts of War, Silver Saints
Once the orders of Sanctuary are given out, with excellent fighting ability, going all over the world, they accomplish their mission for certain. In other words, they exist as the very example of the word, 'Saint', they are Silver Saints.
If the basic of a
Saint
is a Bronze Saint, the ones who has a fighting ability with
far higher
dimensions are those who wear the 24 kinds of Cloths, the
Silver Saints.
Because the Gold
Saints
has the most powerful fighting ability beyond all that exists,
they are
really considered the last resort and because, there are all
kinds of important
missions to carry out, unless things come to the worst, the
Gold Saints
doesn't really receive many orders.
In fact, many orders
of
Sanctuary are transferred mainly to the Silver Saints to be
executed, and
when they perform those missions, they will appoint Bronze
Saints to go
with them as support.
The Bronze Cloths has
its
basic protection function plus an extra unique feature
distinctive to the
Cloth. This is very common for Bronze Cloths. For example, the
Phoenix
Cloth has its self-restoration feature and Andromeda Cloth has
its Nebula
Chains. This is because the Bronze Saints to the core, are to
aid higher
rank Saints and that those extra features originated so that
the Bronze
Saints can be responsible for that kind of position.
Compared to the Bronze
Saints, many Cloths of the Silver Saints with a few exceptions
are confined
only to the protection function. This is because the Silver
Saints have
mastered all sorts of high level fighting ability and that
they don't really
need any special extra features on their Cloths.
That is to say, the
Saint's
own ability is for offensive methods and the Cloth is
especially made
for defense, making the distinction of the roles between the
Saint and
the Cloth very clear.
It is actually rare
for
Saints like Auriga and Kerberos to be able to use part of
their Cloths
as weapons. Even for these Saints, it is used when their own
Finish Blow[Fatal
Skill] has not been used yet and
more as a
small skill.(Though for Auriga and the like, they were
completely defeated
by Phoenix Saint before they could launch their own original
skills...)
The Silver Saints are
entrusted
by Sanctuary with the supervision of Cloths that has no owner.
Many are
responsible for teaching Saint Candidates to prepare to wear
them. Furthermore,
an important mission imposed on the Silver Saints is to find
among the
Saint Candidates those who will inherit their Cloths.
Because in the
previous
Holy Wars, many Saints and Cloths were lost, it was a matter
of concern
for Sanctuary if they could bring up new Saints and increase
their war
potiential to prepare for the next Holy War.
Sanctuary sent 10
Silver
Saints
to kill the 5 Bronze Saints because the Bronze Saints had
personal fights[Not
Condoned Fights] held by Graude
Foundation,
but the 5 Bronze Saints fought back and the execution of that
order finally
failed.
Later, these 5 Bronze
Saints
won over those forces opposed to Athena again and again,
almost miraculously.
We should not view these events as being the Silver Saints as
weak, but
rather that the 5 Bronze Saints are very special.
Lost Cloths
The Cloth Cemetery at
Jamir
seems to have a lot of Cloths waiting to be restored. The
Cloths resurrected
there will be sent the Silver Saints around the world...
Silver Saints that Were Active in the Past
In Sanctuary's
Cemetery,
many who are buried there are not just Saints who died in the
Holy Wars,
but some while executing orders had accidents or simply died.
In the battle against
the
King of the Underworld, we are able to recognize many names of
Silver Saints
on the gravestones:
SERGE, LUDWIG,GILLES,
HELGA,
JOSE, ALGERNON, TESS, SIROE, EDOMON, GAVIN, JUAN, BARBABA,
IVAN, KAIN,
ISAC, TONY, CIMA, TIMOTHY, HIMRAR, MIGEL, NOBO, SALOMO, VAN,
ZOLA, KIM.
