El Cid of Capricorn

El Cid of Capricorn is one of the most stoic Gold Knights in The Lost Canvas — and his arc in the Gaiden reveals the roots of that impassiveness. His sword fighting training led him to develop a warrior philosophy where justice trumps victory and survival trumps glory.

His Cosmic Excalibur — the supreme technique of Capricorn — is at the center of this arc. How was a technique that «cuts through fate» born? El Cid seeks to understand the boundary between human strength and divine power, and every battle brings him closer to an answer that transforms him. His encounter with Yuzuriha adds a bright dimension to this solitary character.
