Pisces Cardinale  (魚座（ピスケス）のカルディナーレ, Pisukesu no Karudināre) is the Pisces Gold Saint in the 18th century.

Plot (Next Dimension)
Cardinale is first introduced during the Pope's assassination attempt on the infant Athena, which is foiled by Virgo Shijima. Witnessing Shijima's efforts to protect the goddess, Cardinale deems the Pope a traitor and prepared to impart retribution on him, however, Shijima becomes the target of his deadly attack. Pisces has stated his loyalty to Hades, although his true allegiance is to Athena. He is currently chasing after Shijima with the intent to kill by orders from the Pope though he doubts that he would be needed. Inside the Shrine of Atena, Cardinale reaches Shijima that was locked inside the "Labyrinth of the Gods", a maze of illusions from which it is very difficult to go out, created by the Pope. The gold saint of the Pisces attacks him twice with his technique Dagger Roses, but the gold saint of the virgin avoids the roses using the powerful illusions. Then Shijima stop the duel, telling the terrible prophecy is about to happen, which concerns the thirteenth evil gold saint, Ophiuchus. Cardinale, however, continues to attack, and eventually believed to kill Athena and Shijima, but in reality it is just a delusion created by Athena, which begins to grow by breaking the power of Cronos. Cardinal returns to the attack, but is defeated by the divine cosmos of the goddess, which then takes his "Ariadne's Thread" that allowed him to move easily through the maze. Athena and Shijima escape the Pope's chambers only to find the way to the Temple of Pisces full of Cardinale's Royal Demon Rose. The sanctuary accepts Athena as the goddess she is and clears the way for her to pass. Just as they are walking a Serpent appears and bites Athena, the serpent speaks and tells Shijima that is Samael's venom which only Odysseus the Gold Saint of Ophiuchus would be able to cure her. More serpents appear to attack Shijima and at the moment thought to be dead, Cardinale shows up to aid Shijima and Saori as they were being attacked by Odysseus' Serpents. Cardinale confesses that he realizes that Saori is indeed Athena and will fulfill his duty as a Saint to protect her, he clears the Demon rose and allows Shijima to escape as he stays behind fighting the serpents, he sacrifices his life for Athena.
