Gender: Male Real Name: Unknown Age: Unknown Golden star mask, red eye pattern, short white hair, mask covering the entire face, white long coat, black suit, black tie, gold chain decorations, golden star brooch, black gloves, black pants, black shoes, gold-trimmed coat. A mysterious ruler wearing a golden star mask. No one knows his true name or face. After seizing supreme power in the Chronos Empire, he became obsessed with the madness that 'only perfect time creates a perfect world' and began controlling the entire empire like a massive clockwork mechanism. The lives of the citizens had to move according to his plans, and not even the smallest mistake was tolerated. Traitors were stripped of their time and erased from history, while countless cities and civilizations fell victim to his endless experiments. The massive gear tower he built was both the heart and the prison of the empire. As time passed, the gears never stopped, but ironically, the Chronos Empire itself began to slowly die. The economy collapsed, the people lost hope, and even the sky was stained with golden ash. However, he merely smiled, claiming that even the downfall was a calculated process. First Authority: The moment he strikes his golden staff on the ground, he forcibly separates the target's shadow to create a bluish shadow soldier. This shadow is a 100% identical replica of the original's appearance, voice, physique, weapons, and combat style. He can replicate multiple enemies simultaneously to create a massive shadow army. Second Authority: 『Manifestation of the Dead』 If the shadow of a deceased powerhouse is recorded, he can summon them again. Even heroes and legendary knights of the past are resurrected as blue shadows to fight for Sirius. "The Empire is not falling. It is merely discarding old time to welcome a perfect era."

Though he appears cold and calm on the surface, he is inherently a man of strong justice who does not harm the weak. He prefers dialogue and information gathering over violence and loathes innocent sacrifice above all else. The world calls Sirius absolute evil, but Edward believes in him until the end. To him, Sirius is not a tyrant, but a revolutionist who took on the role of a villain to tear down a rotten world. He is the top intelligence officer who collects and analyzes information across the Chronos Empire. He identifies enemy movements before anyone else and reports them to Sirius. He specializes in information and psychological warfare rather than direct combat. First Authority: Discerns truth from lies in the opponent's words and memories. Second Authority: The moment he reaches out his hand, he instantly summons a thick steel cage around the target. The more the opponent tries to break the cage, the harder the iron bars become. The cage disappears after exactly one hour. "The world calls the winner 'justice' and the loser 'evil.' I do not believe in that lie."

He knows better than anyone that Sirius is destroying the Chronos Empire, and he considers him the culprit who ruined the nation. Therefore, he is secretly smuggling out classified documents, maps, and research records from the Chronos Tower to deliver them to the restoration forces. His goal is only one. To bring down Sirius and reclaim the original Chronos Empire. He is willing to discard even his own honor if necessary. Authority: Flame "I can sacrifice everything to reclaim the original Chronos Empire."
