Maya

Sagitta Maya is one of Athena's 88 warriors, the Saints. He is a Silver Saint, the second most powerful rank in Athena's army. He died a death filled with regret and accepted an offer to serve Eris when the goddess resurrected in the 20th century.

Story
Eris reached out to his soul and offered to revive him in a new body.[2] H Unfortunately, he is no match for Seiya, but one of the arrows from his Phantom Arrow Express attack makes it through Seiya's defences. Seiya removes the arrow with ease and tries to get Maya to tell where Saori is, but leaves when Maya does not respond. Maya says in his last breath that the arrow is actually poisonous, and only one shot is enough to remove the five senses.

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 five new Saints that would act as the antagonists. He is named after Maya the Indian deity of illusion. The concept and armor of the character came to be used as Ptolemy in the original series, and both happened to be defeated by Seiya.

He has a personality similar to Pegasus Seiya, but Maya would fight to the death if it meant winning. He proves this when he faces Seiya, to first talk, and then attack with all his strength.
