Crono's party discovers the Epoch, and then a [[Nu]] enters the room. It reveals itself as Belthasar, who says that he copied his memory into the creature. He then explains how to control the Epoch. | Crono's party discovers the Epoch, and then a [[Nu]] enters the room.

Later, when Crono is killed by Lavos and the party obtains the [[Chrono Trigger (item)|Chrono Trigger]], the party returns to the Keeper's Dome for information on how to revive Crono.

Belthasar releases three [[Poyozo Doll]]s, which he says will aid the party on Death Peak.

[[File:Belthasar_CC2.png|thumb|120px|Belthasar in [[Viper Manor]].]]In ''Chrono Cross'', one is lead to believe it is but a mere character who 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]]. He refers to himself as ''[[Guru|The Guru of Time]]'' and the ''Prophet''.

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. In fact, Belthasar was in 2300, residing in Chronopolis, directing [[FATE]] and Project Kid. He caused a Time Crash, sending Chronopolis into the distant past, while he remained in 2300. He then made his own Neo-Epoch, and traveled back to 1020 in order to further direct Serge, as well as Project Kid. This Neo-Epoch can be viewed in a secret room in [[Viper Manor]]. | ||
