About Aquarius, Camus

Age: 20 Gender: Male Date of birth: February 7 Nationality: France Class: Saint Loyalty: Athena Cloth: Aquarius Rank: Gold Training: Siberia Height: 1.84 m Weight: 76 kg Blood type: A Secret moves: Diamond Dust, Kol'tso, Freezing Coffin, Aurora Execution First appearance: manga - chapter 28, vol.8 (shadowed); manga - chapter 33, vol.9 (fully); anime - ep.47 Camus is the Gold Saint protecting Aquarius, best known as the master who trained both Cygnus Hyoga and Kraken Isaac in the manga (though the anime tweaks this slightly, making him teacher to the Crystal Saint instead). He's got that cold, intimidating presence down to an art form—the kind of guy who believes Gold Saints can't show weakness or people will lose faith. Still, the manga reveals he wasn't blind to the Pope's corruption; he just kept following orders to do his job properly, and he was genuinely happy when Hyoga started fighting for the real Athena. Fans were convinced Camus and Milo were close friends based on things Milo said during his fight with Hyoga, and later appearances in the Hades saga anime and Saint Seiya Episode G made that friendship canon. He's named after the philosopher Albert Camus. What sets Camus apart is how he approaches his power. Instead of destroying matter through atomic movement like other Gold Saints, he freezes it by stopping that movement entirely. Among warriors using this freezing ability, he's considered the strongest—he can lower temperatures further than anyone else. Even having mastered the 7th sense, though, absolute zero is beyond him. He seems to awaken the 8th sense during the Hades Arc, gaining entry to the Underworld itself. His main techniques include Diamond Dust, a straightforward blast of freezing energy; Kol'tso, which creates rings of icy wind to immobilize targets; and Freezing Coffin, which locks enemies in ice (though it's slow and only truly escapable by generating higher temperatures). His signature move is Aurora Execution—his ultimate technique and the one that best showcases his freezing mastery.
