Christ

Christ is the Saint of the Southern Cross and wears the Southern Cross Silver Cloth, his class have only been confirmed with a question mark as Silver.[1] Christ appeared in the first Saint Seiya movie called "Jashin Eris" were he was part of a group of revived Saints called "Ghost Five".

Background
Christ died some time before Athena was kidnapped, and is thus recognized by Hyoga as being the Southern Cross to Hyoga's Northern Cross. Feeling restless and tormented by his death as he lay in his grave, Christ put aside his Saint title and joined Eris, who revived him with a new body.

Story
Since the age of myths, Eris, the Goddess of Discord had been imprisoned into a Golden Apple and sentenced to remain with the apple inside the Lepreus meteor shower. Sometime in the late 1980's, the Goddess of Discord had grown tired of her imprisonment in the apple. When the meteor swarm appeared over the Earth once more, she stole the wish of a young girl called Eri, and used her body to manifest herself. But in order to restore herself completely she needed the life force of a goddess, Athena in this case. To her aid she needed warriors that would fight for her, and she thought it would be ironic to use former dead Saints that felt resentment towards Athena.

As Christ was restless in his grave and resented the goddess he had fought for, he gladly accepted Eris' offer to be revived. His former body had long decayed and as such he was given a new body. The old Saint travelled to the restored temple of Eris where he was also given a Ghost version of his old Southern Cross Silver Cloth. At the temple he was introduced to four other Saints that had been revived. Sagitta Maya, Tateza Jan, Lyra Orpheus and Orion Jäger. Together they presented themselves to Eris, their new Goddess. Eris had managed to capture Athena and was already on her way to drain her life force. Athena was surprised to see her former warriors standing before her in service of Eris.

After sending an invitation to the current Saints, Eris ordered Jan and the others to to intercept and kill them.When he gets an advantage over Cygnus Hyoga, Christ is betrayed by Eris, who sees this as a good opportunity. She throws a spear into Christ's back which pierces right through his heart, killing him and injuring Hyoga at the same time.

Concept & Creation
With the success of the Saint Seiya franchise in both anime & manga form, a movie was proposed by Toei. Masami Kurumada participated in the production and after 3 months he contributed with the new Saints. Christ is named after Christ the anointed one, in the case of Jesus who were hung to a cross. As the Lyra & Sagitta Cloths was created by Kurumada for the movie and later appeared in the original story, many assume the Southern Cross Cloth will too.
