==Appearance== | |||
Radius appears as an elderly man. With thick eyebrows, a thick beard, a mustache, a bald head, and wrinkles to match, Radius assumes many features of the wise elder he is portrayed as. Macilent and tall, he sports a walking cane, white robes, and a white outer-garment with blue trim. | |||

The sagely man demonstrated a fantastic combative skill while in service of the [[Acacia Dragoons]], and soon was promoted to Deva alongside the others. In 1005 A.D., the four warriors tore up the battlefield and established a reputation of ferocity. Sadly, this tenure was disrupted by tragedy when Garai and Radius happened upon the demonic [[Masamune]]. Radius was consumed with its power and murdered in a fit of insanity; while the other Dragoons accepted the incident as an accident, it caused Radius to seriously reevaluate his life. Radius buried Garai at the [[Isle of the Damned]], and began leading a more spiritual life. Already middle-aged at this time, he retired later in 1016 A.D., resigning to Arni to become its chief. There, he sought to establish a kind and knowledgeable leadership; he decorated his chief's hut with wise sayings and other resources, and laid down his sword forever. When [[Dario]] died after being corrupted by the Masamune, Radius took the [[Einlanzer]] and placed it at Garai's grave at the Isle of the Damned. | ||
During his stay at Arni, he counseled the villagers and held seminars on the lawn in front of his hut. He taught [[Serge]] how to use basic Elements in this manner. His life remained relatively peaceful after Serge crossed the dimensions until Serge returned with the body of [[Lynx]]; Radius, suspecting the evil [[Demi-human]] himself had come to Arni, called him out for battle. Though Radius was defeated, he detected that Serge's spirit was truly in Lynx's body, and soon conversed concerning his travels. The duo decided that they needed to journey to the [[Dead Sea]]; this led them across [[El Nido]] and eventually to [[Death's Door]]. There, the demonic Masamune blocked passage to the Dead Sea through an evil aura; Radius regretfully noted that the Einlanzer alone could dispel the negative energy. Radius and Serge subsequently journeyed to the Isle of the Damned and attempted to remove the sword; Garai's spirit angrily arrived and challenged them to fight. Radius reluctantly defeated his old friend again, and speculated that perhaps [[Glenn (Chrono Cross)|Glenn]] would kill him as penance. Radius then remained with Serge for the rest of his travels, eventually meeting his dimensional equivalent in [[Another World]]. When he approached the [[Frozen Flame]], Radius showed weakness in being tempted by a dark power once more, but was able to stand against the evil influence | During his stay at Arni, he counseled the villagers and held seminars on the lawn in front of his hut.
