In Chrono Trigger, Belthasar is one of the three [[Guru]]s of [[Zeal]] in the [[Antiquity]]. He is known as the "Guru of Reason".

When the [[Mammon Machine]] was activated, it began absorbing too much power. [[Queen Zeal]] and [[Schala]] along with the three Gurus were the only ones at the Mammon Machine's activation. The Gurus warned about of a dimensional vortex, a power humans cannot control, and they would be dragged into a rift in time, yet the Queen persisted in activating the machine. Soon, [[Janus]] entered the room for Schala. Suddenly, the six were transported in front of [[Lavos]]. [[Gate]]s then appered and transported Belthasar, [[Gaspar]], [[Melchior]], and Janus to different times. Belthasar was sent to the [[Future]], Gaspar was sent to the [[End of Time]], Melchior was sent to the [[Present]], and Janus was sent to the [[Middle Ages]]. | When the [[Mammon Machine]] was activated, it began absorbing too much power.

In Chrono Cross, one is lead to believe it is but a mere character whom is also named Belthasar, like [[Glenn (Chrono Cross)| Glenn]]'s case. But in fact it is the same Belthasar of Chrono Trigger. When one first meets Belthasar he is welcoming while the girl he is with, [[Marcy]], is not. Later on during the attempted escape with [[Riddel]] from the [[Porre]] army, Belthasar assists in [[Serge]]'s escape, only to have the party instead rescued by [[Grobyc]]. | In ''Chrono Cross'', one is lead to believe it is but a mere character whom is also named Belthasar, like [[Glenn (Chrono Cross)| Glenn]]'s case.

It isn't until much later in the story that it is revealed that it is the same Belthasar as of Trigger. During the events of [[Chronopolis]] it is revealed that Belthasar is in fact the one responsible for and in charge of [[Project Kid]]. Also as the keeper of Chronopolis, Belthasar is also the guardian of the [[Frozen Flame]], protecting it from the clutches of the [[Dragon God|dragons]]. While his presence isn't always there, he certainly proves to be an extremely important asset to Chrono Cross, especially toward the end of the journey. Oddly he should be in 2300 A.D. not 1020 A.D. because Crono's team changed the future (in regards to Lavos, not the past) but it is possible they brought him to the present with the wings of time. | It isn't until much later in the story that it is revealed that it is the same Belthasar as of Trigger.

Belthasar gets his English name from the traditional names given to the [[wikipedia:Biblical Magi|Magi]] (Caspar, Melchior, and Balthasar) who brought gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh to the infant Jesus in Christian tradition. | Belthasar gets his English name from the traditional names given to the [[wikipedia:Biblical Magi|Magi]] (Caspar, Melchior, and Balthasar) who brought gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh to the infant Jesus in Christian tradition. | ||
