Karsh is one of the four Acacian Dragoon Devas and the first one encountered by Serge after being sent to Another World. Karsh is often seen with the Shaker Brothers, Solt and Peppor. Often getting tired of their continuous screw-ups, he often verbally assaults them, but strangely maintains a mutually friendly relationship with them outside of seen battles.

Story

Karsh grew up in Termina with Dario and Glenn (Chrono Cross), always training to become a dragoon. As a youth, he showed promising martial art abilities, falling behind only Dario himself. However, this rivalry eventually culminated into a hidden hatred for Dario, a secret Karsh kept even from himself as Riddel grew more intimate with Dario while Karsh secretly admired her. Upon Dario's proposal to Riddel, Karsh is given a bellflower, but immediately throws it away as his jealousy consumes more of him. Eventually, this animosity overcame him when Dario and Karsh ventured to find the Masamune. Similar to the situation with Radius and Garai, Karsh's jealousy and rage would logically attract the Masamune. In a twist of fate, however, Dario took the blade and attempted to remove the "competition" from the world of the living. The two dueled on the Isle of the Damned and Dario temporarily regained control, begging Karsh to kill him before he lost control again. Karsh reluctantly agreed and became overwhelmed with grief, before Lynx appeared and told Karsh to never tell anyone of what happened.

After being ordered to pursue Serge in the present day, he became a reoccurring villain alongside the Acacian Dragoons until Porre invaded Termina. After this event, Karsh decided to join Serge in Lynx's body to save Riddel from her captors in Viper Manor.

After rescuing his comrades from the overthrown manor, Karsh was summoned to the Isle of the Damned by the Shaker Brothers, who confronted him about the fate of Dario and accused Karsh of murder. After defeating them, Karsh assured them that it was not a murder.

Accompanying Riddel and Serge in Home World, Karsh once again came across Dario and was forced to engage him in combat once again. With the assistance of Serge and Riddel, he was able to overcome Dario once and for all and release his bind from the Masamune. Karsh insisted Dario join the group, but Dario intended to bring back the glory of Viper Manor and converted the ruins into an up-and-coming orphanage. Karsh and Riddel both expressed intent to live happily, despite the differences in dimensions.

In Home World, Karsh has been killed alongside the other Dragoon Devas, Viper, and Lynx in the Dead Sea.
