OVA
Description
Micene di Sagitter, also known as Sagittarius Aiolos in other adaptations, serves as the Gold Saint of Sagittarius and a guardian of Athena's Sanctuary. He is the elder brother of Leo Aiolia. At fourteen, Aiolos and Gemini Saga became candidates for the papal succession under Pope Shion. Recognizing Saga's latent evil, Shion chose Aiolos, provoking Saga's betrayal. After murdering Shion and assuming his identity, Saga attempted to kill the infant Athena, Saori Kido. Aiolos intervened, saving Saori and fleeing Sanctuary branded a traitor.
During his escape, Aiolos confronted Gold Saints Pisces Aphrodite, Cancer Deathmask, and Capricorn Shura. He immobilized Aphrodite and Deathmask using Shadow Arrow. Engaging Shura directly, Aiolos hesitated to counterattack when Saori crawled near his opponent, allowing Shura to inflict a fatal wound with Excalibur. Mortally wounded, Aiolos encountered Mitsumasa Kido near Sanctuary, entrusting him with Saori's safety and the Sagittarius Gold Cloth before dying.
Aiolos's spirit and Cloth continued his legacy. During the Sanctuary arc, the Sagittarius Cloth autonomously fired an arrow at its temple wall, revealing his inscribed message: "To you young boys who have reached this temple, I entrust Athena's life in your hands," guiding the Bronze Saints. The Cloth later aided Pegasus Seiya against Aiolia. In the Hades Chapter, Aiolos's spirit joined other Gold Saints at the Wailing Wall. They sacrificed themselves, concentrating their cosmic energy into his arrow to destroy the barrier and grant the Bronze Saints passage to Elysion, marking his final contribution.
Spin-off media like *Saint Seiya Episode G* depict earlier exploits. Aiolos battled mythological threats, defeating the serpent Apophis in Egypt and the titan Typhon using Cosmic Star Arrow. He also confronted his friend Galarian Steiner, who sought death after committing treason; their duel cost Galarian an arm and an eye, further establishing Aiolos's righteousness and combat prowess. His techniques include Shadow Arrow (invisible arrows immobilizing opponents via shadows), Lightning Plasma (light-speed energy projectiles), Atomic Thunderbolt (electrified energy balls, shown in anime flashbacks), and Infinity Break (piercing light darts).
Aiolos's character design evolved across adaptations. Original manga depictions featured blond hair, while the anime changed it to brown for visual contrast with his gold armor. Spin-offs like *Episode G* reinstated the blond hair. Creator Masami Kurumada excluded Aiolos from the roster of resurrected Saints in the Hades arc to avoid narrative parallels with Gemini Saga.
