Biography

Early history

Ozzie resides in the Middle Ages. One day, Janus appeared in front of him by a Gate created by Lavos in the Antiquity. Seeing that he was a human, he sent some Blue Imps at him, which Janus likely defeated with his magic. Upon seeing the power Janus had, Ozzie likely raised him and taught him the ways of a fiend.

Eventually, Janus became Magus and became a powerful figure in the Middle Ages. After Glenn and Cyrus obtain the Masamune, they are confronted by Magus and Ozzie. Ozzie comments that Glenn looks like "a scared little frog with no pond to jump into", so he asks Magus if he can give Glenn a more fitting form. Magus shoots a bolt of lightning at Glenn, which later causes him to transform into Frog, making Ozzie partly responsible for Glenn's transformation.

War and Crono's arrival

When the fiends were fighting the humans, Ozzie was one of the commanders at Zenan Bridge, alongside the swordsman Slash and the magician Flea. When Crono's party arrive at Zenan Bridge during the battle, Ozzie introduces himself, saying he is one of Magus's three generals. He sends skeletons after Coron's party, and when he runs out of them, sends Zombor at them and then flees to the Magus' Castle.

At the Fiendlord's Keep, Ozzie greets them and tells them Magus is busy and that they'll have to do business with him after Slash and Flea, as well as 100 monsters in the castle. He then disappears.

After defeating Slash and Flea, the party meet Ozzie again. He calls Slash and Flea, though they do not appear, resulting him "in a pickle" and places traps ahead of them, though they pass through all of them. When he is at a dead end, he tells them that Magus should be done summoning Lavos and then has a barrier surround him while the party defeats him. His barrier is impenetrable, so the party attack some chains that result in a trap door below Ozzie, resulting in him falling through the castle.

Ozzie's Fort

Sometime later, Ozzie resides at his own castle, named Ozzie's Fort, and now names himself Ozzie the Great. When Crono's party and Magus arrive there, Ozzie greets them and is surprised at seeing him with Crono's party and calls him a traitor. Ozzie then disappears and sends Flea and Slash at them, both of which are also surprised to see Magus with Crono's party, though they both are defeated.

As they go through the castle's floors, Ozzie sends various obstacles at them, though the party get past them all. When he is at a dead end, he, Slash, and Flea fight the party together, though the are all defeated. Ozzie tells Magus that he used him to create a world for fiends, though Magus tells him he only sought power. Ozzie then says he can not lose and has another barrier like the one he had in the Fiendlord's Keep surround him. The party again attack some chains, though this results in trap doors apearing underneath them. They fall a floor below and make their way back up to Ozzie.

Once they reach the floor Ozzie is on again, a cat enters the room and hits a switch, resulting in a trap door appearing below Ozzie. He falls through the trap door and is never seen again.

Peace with the fiends

After Ozzie's death, the fiends no longer hate the humans and both co-exist peacefully in the Present, whereas in the original timeline humans and fiends still hate eachother.
