ONA
Description
Mylock is a character exclusive to the Netflix original CG-animated series Knights of the Zodiac: Saint Seiya, serving as the loyal butler of the Kiddo family. In this adaptation, he replaces and reinterprets the role of Tatsumi from the original manga and 1986 anime. His background is largely defined by his long-standing service to Alman Kiddo, the wealthy patriarch who gathered the future Bronze Knights, and his protective duty toward Alman’s granddaughter Sienna Kiddo, the reincarnation of the goddess Athena. Mylock is portrayed as a calm, resourceful, and highly capable attendant, displaying both unwavering loyalty and a practical, no-nonsense demeanor. He is not a Saint himself, but he is a skilled combatant and tactician, proficient in hand-to-hand combat and the use of various weapons, often employing these abilities to safeguard Sienna and assist the Knights.
His primary motivation is the protection of Sienna and the successful continuation of Alman Kiddo’s mission to gather the Knights and oppose the forces that threaten Athena. He acts as a guardian and guide, frequently placing himself in danger to ensure Sienna’s safety. In the early episodes, he plays a pivotal role in the escape from Vander Guraad’s attack, piloting a helicopter and later riding a motorcycle to evade pursuers, directly saving both Sienna and Seiya. Throughout the series, he serves as a support figure, providing logistical assistance and counsel to the young Knights.
Mylock’s key relationships are with Alman Kiddo, whom he serves with deep respect; Sienna, whom he treats with a mixture of formality and genuine care; and Seiya, whom he aids and advises as the Pegasus Knight begins his journey. His development is subtle, as he remains a steady, reliable presence rather than undergoing a dramatic arc, but his actions consistently reinforce his dedication and competence. Notable abilities include advanced combat skills, quick thinking under pressure, and proficiency with vehicles and weaponry, making him a valuable ally even without the powers of a Saint. His appearance and role are unique to the Netflix adaptation, providing a more grounded and action-oriented counterpart to the original series’ comedic butler character.
