Biography

Athle is the prince of the Kingdom of Arcadia. He and his "Beast Warriors," under leadership of his assistants Regina and Jack Spade, defend the Kingdom of Arcadia. When the "Emperor" of a neighboring Imperial nation storms the Kingdom, Athle is forced to flee his home. It is revealed early on in the game that the Emperor is after the "Time-Space Transmission," technology recently discovered by Arcadian scientists, in order to use it to travel back in time and conquer Planet Zi. During most of the game, Athle travels back and forth in time, trying to stop the Emperor's men from altering history.

Athle and his friends travel in back and forth in time 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.

Although the Empeor manages to find Athle and his comrades, he is defeated by a mysterious man piloting a silver Blade Liger, later revealed to be Rottiger Team's Max Rubin. Max thanks Athle for returning history to its normal state. Athle's team is then able to arrest the Emperor, and his Best Four, under the command of Blood Keel.

Personality

"For the honor of the Kingdom of Arcadia!"

-Athle Arcadia

Athle's personality resembles that of Ruuji Familon from Zoids: Genesis; he tends to turn pessimistic when away from Regina. He is greatly respected as the Prince of Arcadia, portrayed as an honorable, modest leader. He and his Three Beast Warriors save the world from disorder, making them venerable heroes.

For some reasons Regina tries to meddle Athle several times, it is revealed that Athle is very awkward towards women. Which for example, he goes direct contact to Lieutenant Diamant, the leader of Rottiger.

Ability as a Zoid pilot

Athle mostly uses Liger-Type Zoids, infamously known for piloting the Arcadian Trinity Liger. In Legacy, Athle upgrades his Liger with special "Burning Armor." Later, in Zoids: Saga III and DS, it can fuse with the Victory Rex, resulting the creation of the Trinity Liger VF, and later, the Trinity Liger is switching into alternate forms, becoming the Trinity Liger EV.

Athle also uses starter-type Zoids, like the Shield Liger and Sabre Tiger. In addition, he sometimes pilots Fuzor-type Zoids such as the Chimera Dragon, Matrix Dragon, Gairyuki, and Liger Zero.

Character relationships

Like all characters, Athle has formed his own relationships:

Regina: Regina is Athle's mentor. Athle sometimes becomes annoyed with her when she draws attention away from his paperwork; in turn, she tends to get irked when she sees him associating with other women, notably Rottiger's Claudia Diamant (Zoids: Legacy, Zoids Saga III:Fuzors, and Zoids Saga DS).

Jack: Jack follows Athle steadfastly on his journey to restore the balance of the world. Athle considers Jack a joker, as well as a "magician" on the battlefield.

Earth: Although he is from the Empire, Earth will do anything to protect Athle and his friends.

Zeru: Athle is friendly towards Zeru.

Will: Athle and Will are friendly towards the other. Eventually, Athle leads Will to Orpis in an effort to capture him.

Arrow: Athle and Arrow have a mutual respect for one another. Arrow and his partner, Alma, help Athle finally capture Orpis.

Blood: Blood and Athle start as bitter rivals. Blood seeks to defeat not only Athle, but also Max, the pilot of the silver Blade Liger. After Orpis assassinates the Emperor, Blood teams up with Athle.

Zan: Athle and Zan have a mutual respect for one another.

Max (Zoids: Legacy, and Saga DS): Max was the one who saved Athle and his friends from Blood's henchmen in effort to stop the Emperor. By Zoids: Legacy and Saga DS, he is shown to have a mutual respect for one another.

Claudia (Zoids: Legacy, Saga III: Fuzors, and Saga DS): Athle is shown to have a mutual respect with Rottiger's Captain. For some reasons, Athle is shown to have signs of attraction to her, although Claudia was unaware of this, and this is why Regina gets annoyed at him.

Zoids piloted

Trivia

  • In Zoids Saga: DS, Athle was saved by a Liger Zero Falcon instead of a silver colored Blade Liger. Note that the Blade Liger and Zero Falcon are also piloted by Max.
  • The true name of Athle is "Roman" as said by Jack while their journey began, which means that Athle's true identity remained secret.
