Serge's existence is a contradiction between the dimensions the basis for much of the philosophical discourse in ''Chrono Cross''. Born to [[Marge]] and [[Wazuki]] of the fishing village of [[Arni]] in the [[El Nido]] Archipelago, Serge had a storied history with the world since before he knew how to write. At the tender age of three years old, he came into contact with the [[Frozen Flame]] as a result of his father Wazuki's desperation to heal his son after he had been mauled by a panther demon. The contact healed him and designated him as its Arbiter, or controller; this caused the Frozen Flame to be unusable by the supercomputer [[FATE]] due to the [[Robo|Prometheus Circuit]]. Due to its obviously advanced technology, it had no problem binding both [[Miguel]], a friend of Serge's father, and eventually Wazuki himself into cruel servitude. For the time being, however, Serge escaped unharmed with Wazuki, who was only mildly corrupted by the computer. Back in Arni, Serge became good friends with [[Leena]], Miguel's daughter, and the other inhabitants of the village, who took interest in watching him grow. Forces beyond his control would soon threaten his life again, however. | Serge's existence is a contradiction between the dimensions the basis for much of the philosophical discourse in ''Chrono Cross''.

Four years later, Serge nearly drowned at [[Opassa Beach]]. His father, whose mind was forfeited to FATE completely, was instructed to drown Serge to release the lock on the Flame. Wazuki attempted to accomplish the feat, but Kid traveled back in time to 1010 A.D. and stopped him. The attempt on his own son's life corrupted Wazuki fully; he was recalled to [[Chronopolis]] and reshaped as [[Lynx]]. Serge only caught a glimpse of his savior before returning to the village. In time traveling, [[Kid]] effectively split the dimensions; the one in which Serge lived came to be known as the Home World. As a result of the destruction of [[Home World]]'s version of Chronopolis, the [[Record of Fate]] terminals in that dimension ceased to function, which was something FATE could not allow. Therefore, the computer concocted an elaborate plan to get Serge to unlock the Flame by stealing his body and fooling the Flame into thinking that the Serge facing it was genuine, using Lynx to carry this plan out. The computer predicted that Serge would one day use the split he had created to cross the dimensions. This was fulfilled ten years later in 1020 A.D.; Serge began the fateful day by collecting [[Komodo | Four years later, Serge nearly drowned at [[Opassa Beach]].

This was fulfilled ten years later in 1020 A.D.; Serge began the fateful day by collecting [[Komodo Scale]]s for Leena. After a talk with her on the beach about old times and a promise they made to each other, a huge wave rolled in and crashed upon the boy. He had successfully crossed over to [[Another World]]. When this occurred, Serge was confronted by a squad of [[Acacia Dragoons]], [[Shaker Brothers|Solt and Peppor]], under Deva [[Karsh]], but was saved by Kid. He managed to discover his death in this world, so he set out to figure out why this was true, and why the Dragoons were trying to capture him. | ||
Kid had befriended Serge on [[Cape Howl]], and the two traveled to [[Termina]], where they found a third person (the player can choose between [[Guile]], [[Pierre]], and [[Nikki]]) willing to infiltrate [[Viper Manor]] with them. During the night's events, Lynx confronted Serge, calling him the ''"Chrono Trigger"'' and attempting to capture him. Serge dove over the balcony to the sea with the others, and was taken to [[Guldove]] for treatment. There, Kid's illness caused him to make a decision -- whether to look for [[Hydra Humour]], the required panacea, or simply continue on his journey. If you choose to continue your journey, [[Macha]], [[Doc]], and [[Glenn (Chrono Cross)|Glenn]] will join your party. If you choose to save Kid, Korcha, [[Mel]], and [[Razzly]] will join your party. Whatever the case, he soon discovered that the Acacia Dragoons were amassing at [[Fort Dragonia]]. He consulted old man [[Radius]] for advice, and found that to cross [[Mount Pyre]], he required the [[Ice Breath]] of the [[Water Dragon]]. While attempting to dock at the bank of Pyre, he was captured by [[Fargo]] and thrown in the hold of the [[S.S. Invincible]]. He later won the pirate's respect by defeating the [[Ghost Ship]] invaders, and sojourned to the top of Fort Dragonia. However, Lynx initiated a [[Dragonian]] ritual with the [[Dragon Tear]] and switched bodies with Serge, leaving him in the body of a panther demi-human. He was then banished to the [[Temporal Vortex]], only escaping with [[Harle]]'s help. | Kid had befriended Serge on [[Cape Howl]], and the two traveled to [[Termina]], where they found a third person (the player can choose between [[Guile]], [[Pierre]], and [[Nikki]]) willing to infiltrate [[Viper Manor]] with them.
