[[File:Crono_FMV4.jpg|thumb|left|Crono in the FMV. ]] Returning Marle to [[Guardia Castle]], her home, Crono is accused of kidnapping her in attempts to thwart the throne. Represented by [[Pierre]] in a trial, Crono is sentenced to death. [[Lucca]] frees him seconds before he is brought to the Guillotine and together, they flee the [[Prison Towers]]. On their way to [[Guardia Forest]], Marle tags along and the three travel to the [[Future]] via an open [[Gate]]. Investigating the area in search of a means to return home, Crono and his friends find food supplies for the inhabitants of [[Arris Dome]], where he also meets his descendant [[Doan]] and learns that the ruined future was caused by [[Lavos]]. He vows to save the planet from destruction through the use of time-travel. Shortly after, he assist a robotic man named [[Robo]] in deactivating a [[Derelict Factory]] to find a way home.

Entering the Gate, he arrives at the [[End of Time]] where he receives magicl abilities. With the aid of these powers and the powers of his allies, Crono successfully reforges the [[Masamune]] by acquiring [[Dreamstone]] in [[Prehistory]] and attempts to slay the Fiendlord, Magus, who he believes is the root of Lavos' presence in the time line. This leads him back to Prehistory where helps the [[Ioka Village|Iokans]] destroy the [[Reptite]]s, thus securing the evolution and prosperity of the human race whose lives were jeopardized by these sentient lizards. Directly afterwad, he realizes Lavos was not summoned by Magus, but is an alien species who fell from the sky in this time period. Attempting to follow the beast in the crater it caused by landing, he is transported to the [[Antiquity]] era.

[[File:Crono_FMV1.jpg|thumb|left|Crono's soul is eaten by [[Lavos]] in the FMV.]]In the Antiquity era, he rescues [[Melchior]] from the [[Mountain of Woe]] and subsequently attempts to rescue [[Schala]], the innocent Zeal Princess who is being exploited by her mother, [[Queen Zeal]]. When Crono
confronts with [[Lavos]] in the [[Ocean Palace]] of the [[Kingdom of Zeal]] as a result of the rescue misson, he sacrifices himself to save everyone present. With time travel, his friends manage to replace Crono in the moment before he dies with a [[Doppel Doll|clone]] received from the Millennial Fair in [[1000 A.D.]], saving his life. While the other six playable characters have many lines of dialogue, Crono's responses to events are usually implied only through reaction and gesture, often for comedic effect, which wrongfully depicts him as insincere at the moment of his resurrection. Returned to normal, Crono and two others confront Lavos, destroy it, and return peace to [[Guardia]]. After, Crono travels back in time to rescue his mother who haphazardly stumbled into a Gate.

There are some points where he's shown to have romantic feelings for [[Marle]]. At one point where he's knocked out, he has a dream where Marle is his wife. The PlayStation and DS versions of Chrono Trigger include an FMV scene at the end that shows Crono and Marle getting married. While a second FMV depicts the fall of Guardia Kingdom in year A.D. 1005, it is unknown what happened to Crono during this event. In the sequel, {{CC}}, Crono makes an appearance alongside Marle and [[Lucca]] as apparitions of themselves as ghost children. It is probable that he and [[Marle]] are alive during the events of ''Chrono Cross''.

[[File:Crono_FMV3.jpg|thumb|right|Crono in the FMV.]]Typical among [[role-playing game]] protagonists, Crono is a well balanced character with no major weakness. His physical damage is respectable, along with his speed, health, and defense. Because he can equip some very strong weapons (including the [[dreamseeker]], the strongest weapon in the game overall, [[Lucca]]'s [[Wondershot]] can do more damage but the damage it inflicts varying makes it less reliable), he's one of the main damage dealers. Crono possesses a variety of techs, which include offensive and support techs. Though he isn't as effective a healer as [[Marle]] is (she has a greater variety of healing techs), he can still heal for good amount of health, and he can cast [[Raise]] on allies to revive them. For offensive techs, he can inflict both physical damage and magical damage, and his higher level magic techs hit all enemies.

He uses a katana as a weapon and once he obtains magical ability, his [[Tech]]s become lightning-oriented. In the original Japanese version of the game, Crono's element was {{nihongo|''Ten''|天}}, which means "heaven". In the ''[[Chrono Trigger (DS)|DS version of Chrono Trigger]]'', Crono's element is translated to Light, which is more in line with the original Japanese translation.
