Biography
Athle is the prince of the Kingdom of Arcadia, he and his "Beast Warriors" under leadership of his assistant Regina and Jack Spade; a group who defends and risk their lives for the Kingdom of Arcadia. When the Empire stormed the Kingdom, Athle is forced to flee his home after it is attacked by a man known only as the Emperor. It is revealed early on in the game that the Emperor is after the 'Time-Space Transmission' technology recently discovered by Arcadian scientists; wanting to use it to travel back in time and conquer Zi. Most of the game is spent travelling back and forward in time to stop the Emperor's henchmen from altering history.
Athle and his friends travel in time on several occasions in pursuit of the Emperor's four henchmen, appearing at three points during the Zoids: Chaotic Century series, twice during Zoids: Guardian Force, once during Zoids: New Century Zero, and once during the era of the Silver Liger Zero Game Boy game.
But when the Emperor managed to find them, he was defeated by a mysterious man riding a silver Blade Liger, none other Max Rubin, Max thanked Athle for returning history to its normal state. Its rumored Max was alone and he was not with the Rottiger Team, and the team arrested the Emperor and the Best Four under Blood Keel.
