Milo of Scorpio

Appearance.

Milo is a tall man with fair skin, long, wavy cerulean blue hair, and blue-green eyes. In his civilian clothes, Milo sports a classic 90s outfit: a crimson t-shirt that goes well with his guardian constellation, a black leather jacket, and dark pants and shoes.

Personality

Milo is always self-assured, more impulsive than most of the other Golden Saints. He is violent, passionate, proud, and boastful by nature, appearing at first glance as a bitter and grumpy man. He is easily offended and is incapable of remaining silent when something worries him. Milo never seems to show his emotions; he always hides them behind a mask of impassivity and absolute calm, but inside he is a very sentimental person; this same calm makes him a fearsome opponent during combat. Milo never hesitates and knows no wavering. He displays his aggressiveness depending on the opponent, as they can affect him. His thoughts and actions are perfectly harmonized. This synchronization is particularly obvious during combat. Combat is one of the rare moments when he lets all his passions appear and usually acts when the situation truly requires it. It is very visible when he uses his Scarlat Needle: his face shows a mixture of joy, enthusiasm, rage, and fury. But outside of that, Milo always remains serene and appears to be completely detached. One could say he has the heart of a theatre actor. He can exploit the emotions of others perfectly and uses words as weapons, with an irony and direction of devastating distribution, trying to bring the opponent to his own ground. Although he has a predilection for action, Milo has a particular fondness for the art of words, as he always uses it to disable his opponents and make them attack inconsiderately. And it's not just words he uses: Milo's entire attitude is always carefully calculated according to the goal he wants to achieve.

History.

At the age of 7, Milo had already become a Golden Saint, wearing his armor at such a young age, like other "young" Golden Saints. Unaware of the Patriarch's imposture, Milo grew up believing he was following the legitimate Patriarch under legitimate orders from Athena. Although the exact circumstances are unknown, it is implied (later) that Milo and Camus shared a particular friendship beyond that they had with their other companions. After the successive failures of the Silver Saints, the Patriarch orders Milo to go to Japan to eliminate the rebellious Bronze Saints; however, he refuses, arguing that it is a waste for a Golden Saint to face a Bronze Saint. Finally, Aiolia of Leo interrupts the conversation and offers to take Milo's place. Milo questions the Patriarch for letting the "traitor's brother" go and ends up reluctantly accepting his orders, remembering that distrust towards the Patriarch grew stronger each day. Milo reappears in the Battle of the 12 Houses of the Sanctuary when Seiya of Pegasus and Shiryū of Dragon arrive at the House of Scorpio; he stops them when they decide to return to the House of Libra to stop the suicidal act of Shun of Andromeda, who was trying to save Hyōga of Cygnus from freezing to death. Milo attacks Seiya and Shiryū with the Restriction, completely paralyzing them. Shiryū attacks him with the Rozan Shō Ryū Ha, but fails to even touch him. Milo challenges him to attack again, telling him that this time, instead of dodging the attack, he will stop it. Shiryū repeats the attack, but Milo stops it by joining his hands in a cross. Then, using the force of Shiryū's own attack, he throws him against the ceiling of the House of Scorpio.

History.

Seiya attacks Milo with the Pegasus Suisei Ken, and Milo tries to stop his attack in the same way as Shiryu's, but fails and receives a small blow that cuts his cheek and knocks off the helmet of his armor. Milo is surprised that Seiya is on the path to learning the Seventh Sense. Seiya attacks Milo again, but it is Milo who hits him with the Scarlet Needle. Then Seiya and Shiryu get up and attack Milo together with Pegasus Ryūsei Ken and the Rozan Shō Ryū Ha, but Milo knocks them down with the Scarlet Needle. When he is about to attack them again, Hyoga arrives with Shun in his arms, to the surprise of everyone who thought him dead. Milo attacks Hyoga with the Restriction, but it has no effect, and it is Hyoga who immobilizes Milo with his Koltso. Seiya and Shiryu go towards the House of Sagittarius taking Shun with them. Then Milo frees himself from the Ice Ring to begin his fight. Milo attacks Hyoga again with the Restriction, but Hyoga protects himself with a current of icy air that surrounds his body. Then they attack each other with the Scarlet Needle and the Diamond Dust, with Milo trapped inside a small block of ice. Milo quickly frees himself from the ice block and then Hyoga realizes that he has received a small prick in his chest. Milo explains that it is the Scarlet Needle's blow, attacking him again with it and slamming Hyoga against one of the pillars of the House of Scorpio. Milo explains to Hyoga the effect of the Scarlet Needle and tells him that he must choose between surrender and death, repeating the attack again, hitting Hyoga three more times. Then Hyoga gets up and attacks Milo with the Diamond Dust, but Milo hits Hyoga four more times with the Scarlet Needle.

History.

Milo again asks Hyoga about his choice, but Hyoga accepts neither option and they attack each other again, with Hyoga being wounded. Milo strikes Hyoga again, delivering a total of fourteen Scarlet Needle blows. When Milo prepares to launch Antares, he realizes his legs are frozen, and Hyoga attacks him with the Aurora Thunder Attack. Milo loses his helmet but is not injured by Hyoga's blow. Then Hyoga sees that he is starting to lose a lot of blood from the wounds caused by the Scarlet Needle. Hyoga attacks Milo again, but Milo knocks him down with a punch. Milo explains to Hyoga that Camus of Aquarius's intentions when he fought him in the House of Libra were to help him awaken his Seventh Sense to have a chance fighting the Gold Saints. Milo spares Hyoga's life on the condition that he leave the Sanctuary and never return. Hyoga refuses and continues fighting Milo, although Milo knocks him down with a kick to the face. Hyoga gets up intending to launch a final attack against Milo. Hyoga attacks with the Dawn Thunder, but Milo stabs him with Antares, and Hyoga falls after the blow. Then Milo realizes that his armor is frozen by Hyoga's attack, and that without the absorption power of his Gold armor he would be dead. Milo realizes he has lost the fight despite surviving. Hyoga moves again, to Milo's astonishment, who thought him dead, and realizes that Hyoga is still alive by his own will. Milo strikes Hyoga in his vital point to stop his bleeding, and tells him he does so because his faith has broken his own.

History.

Milo reappears after Athena is already saved, speaking telepathically with the old master and the other Golden Saints, and escorts Athena to the Statue of Athena atop the Sanctuary to confront Saga of Gemini. During the war against Poseidon, he appears reunited with the other Golden Saints at the foot of the Sanctuary awaiting the resolution of the war, even preventing a confrontation between Aiolia of Leo and Mu of Aries. A year later, in the Holy War against Hades, he appears for the first time with Athena in her chambers, saying he sensed a cosmos entering the room. But Athena tells him that the person who entered was there to help them, and that he must be protecting the House of Gemini at that moment, to which Milo is very surprised. Immediately afterward, they feel a tremendous impact in one of the nearby rooms, where Milo finds Kanon of Gemini, the twin brother of Saga of Gemini. Kanon had been forgiven by Athena and was allowed to fight by her side as a Saint. Milo tells Kanon to leave because the Golden Saints don't trust him, even though Athena has forgiven him. Milo warns him to leave of his own accord or he will be forced out. Kanon says he cannot leave, so Milo tells him he will be his rival. Milo throws one of his Scarlet Needles at the ground at Kanon's feet, but he doesn't move. After Kanon again says he won't leave, Milo attacks him with the Scarlet Needle several times. Milo is surprised that Kanon doesn't counterattack, and thinks he is deliberately taking the blows. Kanon gets up and insists that Milo continue his attack to prove that he will not leave no matter what after Athena has forgiven him. Milo understands that he is receiving the blows as penance for his past sins.

History.

Athena intervenes to try to stop Milo, who tells her that the surviving Saints haven't forgiven him and continues hitting Kanon with the Scarlet Needle. Finally, he attacks Kanon with Antares, but actually hits Kanon's vital center, stopping his bleeding. When Milo leaves for the House of Scorpio, he tells Kanon that he accepts him as another Golden Saint protecting Athena. Later, he senses Saga of Gemini, Camus of Aquarius, and Shura of Capricorn using the Exclamation of Athena to kill Shaka of Virgo. He then decides to leave the House of Scorpio and go to the House of Virgo to fight them. Upon arriving, he attacks all three with the Scarlet Needle, reaching 14 blows. Just as he's about to unleash Antares, Saga attacks him with his Galaxy Explosion, slamming Milo against the ceiling of the House of Virgo, although Milo didn't receive the full blow thanks to Seiya of Pegasus' warning. Afterwards, along with Mu of Aries and Aiolia of Leo, they used the forbidden technique, the Exclamation of Athena, against Saga, Shura, and Camus, who also used it, surviving thanks to the Bronze Saints. Later, he helped Camus reach Athena. He fought alongside Aiolia and Mu at Hades' Castle, where they were defeated by the Judge of Hell, Rhadamantys of Wyvern, thanks to the castle's barrier. In Hell, they appeared in Cocytus with Aiolia and Mu, awakening thanks to Athena's cosmos, and defeating several specters there. Later, the three appeared at the Wall of Lamentations where they used the weapons of Libra to tear down the wall along with Dohko of Libra and Shaka of Virgo; Milo used Libra's nunchaku, but without success.

History.

Finally, after the appearance of the remaining gold armors and the resurrection of their bearers, he sacrificed himself along with the rest of the Golden Saints to tear down the Wall of Lamentations, projecting his cosmos onto the Golden Arrow of Sagittarius and creating the light of the sun to bring down the wall.

Techniques/Attacks

•Restriction: This involves using psychokinesis to project mental waves that, upon reaching their target, completely immobilize their movements. •Scarlet Needle: This is a technique that directly attacks the enemy's central nervous system using a shock wave (produced by exceeding the sound barrier with the arm movement when striking) that emanates from the user's fingertip, so its intense pain also causes total paralysis. •Scarlet Needle Antares: Concentrates his cosmos at the tip of his finger to fire a bright red sphere from his fingertip, piercing his opponent and striking the point located in the center of the Scorpio constellation and in the center of the victim's torso, thus completing the Scarlet Needle with the fifteenth final blow. •Scarlet Needle Blaze: This is a technique based on scarlet flames. This technique consists of launching the first fourteen strikes of the Scarlet Needle simultaneously; all strikes are fired from the user's index fingernail, taking the form of energy spears that pierce the opponent's body. •Scarlet Assault Needle: This is characterized as an assault strike. This technique consists of launching all fifteen Scarlet Needle strikes simultaneously, surprising the opponent and inflicting fatal damage with a single blow. •Crimson Stinger: A technique used by Milo of Scorpio, it consists of concentrating all the Scarlet Needles into a single attack, concentrating all his cosmos and explosive and destructive power into a single point. With his left hand raised upwards, Milo launches all the Scarlet Needles at the opponent.
