Description
Europe is a character from the later story arc of Saint Seiya Omega, serving as a secondary antagonist. He is not a human but a Pallasite, a class of warriors who serve the god Saturn and his proxy, the goddess Pallas. His primary weapon is a chakram, a throwing disc, and his powers over time and spatial distortions are dependent on this weapon; without it, any distortions he creates will vanish.
Europe has a comical and irreverent personality, often maintaining a lighthearted and mocking demeanor even in serious situations. He derives pleasure from being in a superior position compared to his enemies and has a tendency to treat conflicts like games, frequently trying to manipulate both allies and foes into following his rules.
As one of the main Pallasites, Europe plays a crucial role in the overarching plan to revive the god Saturn. He is deeply involved in the machinations leading up to the final battle, often acting as an observer and instigator. His most significant secret is that he is the first to discover that the young saint Subaru is the mortal guise of Saturn. He keeps this knowledge to himself, subtly orchestrating events to ensure Saturn's return.
Throughout the story, Europe engages with several key characters. He has a notable antagonistic relationship with Eden, the son of Mars, whom he fights on multiple occasions. He attempts to manipulate Eden by bringing him and his comrades to a garden, hoping Eden will kill them, but the plan fails when Eden reveals himself as a spy. Europe also mocks Eden for being a demigod who fights to kill a goddess for the sake of another goddess. Later, when he encounters Subaru and senses his divine power, Europe is forced to kneel before him, further cementing his awareness of Subaru's true identity.
His role is primarily that of a strategist and provocateur. He provides artifacts to other Pallasites, such as giving an item to Methone so he can absorb his sister, Ymir. He also intervenes in other battles, stopping the fight between the Pallasite Miller and the Bronze Saints to foreshadow a future event. When the Saints begin their final assault on Pallas's castle, Europe leads an army to stop them. He creates four illusory roads to the goddess's chamber: Vanaheim, Alfheim, Niflheim, and Dvelberg. Only the Vanaheim road is real, while the others are traps designed to make anyone who follows them become lost forever. This illusion is later shattered by the Saint Integra, who uses her power to break the trick and save her friends.
Europe is also instrumental in forging the true sword of Saturn. He collects the remnants of the other holy swords and combines them with Saturn's current sword to remake the original, powerful weapon. He later induces the goddesses Athena and Pallas to battle, and when they refuse to kill each other, he uses the Ouroboros to transform into snakes that drain their power, forcing Subaru to remember his identity and fully return as Saturn.
In terms of development, Europe remains a consistently cunning and loyal servant to the divine cause, though his loyalty is ultimately self-serving as he works to resurrect Saturn. His end comes during the final stages of the conflict. After Saturn returns, Europe travels back to Earth with the intention of killing the weakened Athena and Pallas. However, he is severely injured in a fight against the Saint Shun. Before he can accomplish his goal, he is killed by his own ally, Titan, the leader of the Pallasites.
