Cepheus Cloth

The Cepheus Silver Cloth is the cloth of the Saint Daidalos in the manga of Saint Seiya, Albiore in the anime of Saint Seiya, and an unknown Saint in Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas. It is of the second class of the cloths that Athena's Saints wield, the Silver Cloths.

Fit For a King
The Cepheus constellation represents the King of Ethiopia in the Myth concerning the boast of his wife, Queen Cassiopeia, brought disaster to their kingdom, and forced him to chain his daughter, Andromeda, to the rocks as a sacrifice, which the monster Cetus went after, before being stopped by the hero Perseus.

A Kingly Man
Daidalos trained to be a Saint on Andromeda Island, Ethiopia by an unknown master. The cloth was likely kept in Sanctuary until a Saint worthy of wearing it was found. Daidalos was the master of Shunand June, having trained them on Andromeda Island. Although, on the second most hellish training location for Saints, he was kind enough to spare Shun during their training, and even felt pity for him when he thought Shun died. When Shun showed Daidalos his true power, the Cepheus Silver Cloth was shattered. It's unknown whether or not his cloth was restore by the time he met his end at the hands of Pisces Aphrodite, but it is likely still damaged.

Albiore, the Silver Filler Saint
In the anime adaptation of Saint Seiya, many details about Shun's origin were changed. Cepheus Daidalos was replaced with Cepheus Albiore, and he was given extra, chain wielding students, who picked on Shun. In fact, the Cepheus Silver Cloth was given chains in the anime, much like Shun's own weapon. In the anime, he's told Scorpio Milo killed his master, but is later revealed to him that his master was killed by Pisces Aphrodite. Apparently, Albiore fought off Milo, since his power rivaled that of a Gold Saint, so Aphrodite had to be the one to kill him.

Previous War
The Cepheus Silver Cloth seems to have no living user in The Lost Canvas. The previous wearer of the Cloth comes back when Hakurei calls for those who fought with him in the previous Holy War.

Special Abilities of Silver Cloth of Cepheus
The manga version of the Cepheus Silver Cloth, while having all of the strength and endurance of a Silver Cloth, has no special traits that make it stand out as a cloth. The anime version, however, had chain weapons similar to Shun's weapon that could be used to fight with.
