Apollo

Apollo — god of the Sun, Light and the Arts — is the opposite of Ares in manner but no less dangerous in intention. His beauty and formal perfection conceal an absolute arrogance: he regards humanity as an imperfect creation, the Saints as sophisticated toys, and Athena as a sister who has made a poor investment.

Lithos is particularly affected by Apollo's presence — a reaction suggesting a connection between them predating the events of the manga. Her origins continue to be revealed: what she is, what she represents in the balance between gods and mortals, begins to take shape. The question of her ultimate loyalty — toward Aiolia, toward Athena, toward something else — is raised.
