Silver Knights
The intermediate rank — guardians of the secondary stars
The Silver Knights form the intermediate order between the Bronze Knights and the Gold Saints. Far more powerful than the Bronze Knights, they embody secondary constellations of the sky. Some serve Athena faithfully, while others were corrupted by the false Grand Pope Saga.
Among them, Eagle Marin is Seiya's master, and Shaina of Ophiuchus is a formidable warrior whose feelings for the Pegasus Knight are deeply ambiguous.
