Legendary Saints

Legendary Saints (伝説の聖人, Densetsu no sainto) are the Heroes of Athena, which protected her from difficult times, risking their lives during the intense battle between the Sanctuary and the previous Holy Wars against the gods(Poseidon, Hades and Mars). After the last battle against the God of War Mars, the Legendary Saints suddenly disappeared without a trace. In the Era of Omega, these heroes have became legends for the young Saints of Palestra, talking about their past achievements in battle,  that revives the young hearts of newly trained saints, remisnicing their past exploits during the previous holy wars.
