There are many golden knights that Seiya, aka Pegasus, and the others had to face to complete the famous saga of the twelve houses, the most popular of the The Zodiac Knights. House after house they outlasted the warriors of the zodiac, but they faced none who wore the armor of Sagittarius.
This is because by the time of Seiya and the others’ adventure, its owner was already dead and therefore the place was vacant to be taken by The Knights of the Zodiac protagonist shortly after. But who was the original owner? Let’s go to Aiolos Discovery of the Sagittarius.
At one time, before the beginning of the story, the Archer’s Golden Armor was owned by this character. Elder brother of Aiolia di Leo, Aiolos is the warrior most loyal to Athena. It is indeed no coincidence that he sacrificed himself for her at the beginning of the story. Already a gold knight at the age of 14, Aiolos and Saga were summoned by the high priest and he was the first to receive the investiture as future high priest and the commission to protect Athena, who had just been reincarnated as Saori Kido. Saga, already possessed by his evil soul and jealous of Aiolos for being given the scroll, hatched a plan that resulted in the warrior’s death, who nonetheless managed to protect his goddess.
Although he doesn’t actually appear in the rest of the story, Aiolos managed to aid the Knights of the Zodiac several times through his spirit, which also manifested in the Sagittarius armor. Do you know the history of golden knight of archer? And what would Aiolos look like in real life? Here is an artistic portrait of the Knight of the Zodiac.
