Saturos

Lore & Background

Saturos operates alongside Menardi as part of a group charged with releasing the potentially destructive power of Alchemy, which had been sealed away in Weyard's ancient past after causing worldwide conflict. His journey begins when he raids Mt. Aleph, intending to steal the Elemental Stars hidden within the mountain shrine guarded by Vale. After failing initially due to a magically generated trap, he returns three years later with Felix, a former resident of Vale kidnapped during the earlier storms. Together with Menardi, they ambush Isaac, Garet, and Jenna on their research trip, securing three stars and taking Jenna and Kraden hostage. Saturos's objective is to light four elemental lighthouses to restore Alchemy, which he views as essential for Weyard's survival rather than destruction.

In Their Own Story

Three years prior to the main story, Saturos and Menardi attempted to raid Mt. Aleph but were driven away by a magically generated thunderstorm and rockslide trap while failing to solve the shrine's riddles. Three years later, they return alongside Felix, ambushing Isaac's party as they retrieve the Elemental Stars. They kidnap Jenna and Kraden, taking three of the four stars before departing to light the lighthouses. Isaac's party pursues them across two continents in Golden Sun, culminating in a fierce battle where Saturos and Menardi meet their deaths. Following their defeat, Felix convinces Jenna and Kraden to join him in lighting the remaining two lighthouses, completing Saturos's original objective to release Alchemy and prevent Weyard's decay.
