| abstract | - Pegasus Tenma is the main protagonist of the Saint Seiya spin-off/alternate universe story The Lost Canvas, written and drawn by Shiori Teshirogi. He is the Pegasus Saint of the 18th Century, and the reincarnation of the Mythological Pegasus Saint who's destined to battle against Hades. An orphan born from the Japanese lord Yohma and the German maid Partita, he grew up in the outskirts of a small town in Italy alongside Sasha and Alone, who were respectively the Incarnation of Athena and the Receptacle of Hades. Tenma had always been a prodigy in the control of Cosmos, even when he was completely unaware of it's existence, claiming to have felt the "Universe within his body" since he was born. At age 12, he was discovered by the young Gold Saint Dohko, who was astounded with his talent and took him to the Sanctuary. There, he once again proved a prodigy, being trained by both Libra Dohko and Gemini Defteros, and finishing his training in only 3 years. In reality, Tenma's power had been derived from the fact that he possessed divine blood. His father Yohma is actually the Greek Primordial God Kairos, God of Momentary Time and Younger Brother of Chronos, who had impregnated a woman destined to become a Celestial Spectre of Hades, in an attempt to create a biological weapon he could use against Olympus. During his final battle with Hades, Tenma's cosmos briefly reached that of the 9th Sense, being capable of wounding the Divine Emperor. In the end, he and Sasha sacrificed their lives and souls, creating a wave of Heavenly Cosmos that decimated Hades's soul, leaving him incapable of acting for 200 years.
