Karsh (カーシュ , Kāshu?) is one of the four Devas of the Acacia Dragon's who wields an axe and a fiery spirit in Chrono Cross.
Story[edit | edit source]
Born to Zappa and Zippa, he grew up in Termina, where he was raised in the fighting tradition and lived in a sideroom of Zappa's Smithy. In close proximity to Dario and Glenn, he began a rivalry with the former heir to the Einlanzer and competed against him in the Viper Tournament of Swords, among other things.
