Chronos

Chronos was Claymore No. 4 of Isley's generation and eventually became an awakened being. He was among the group of awakened former single-digit warriors who gathered outside Rabona to witness the being whose power surpasses the Abyssal Ones.

Etymology
"Chronos" is a translation of the Japanese "Kuronosu" (クロノス).

"Chronos" is derived from the Greek Χρόνος, meaning "time." In Greek mythology, he is the god of the time.

"Chronos" may also pertain to the personification of time in pre-Socratic philosophy.

Appearance
In his human form, Chronos appears to be a man with moderately long, black, wavy hair parted down the middle and sports a goatee.

In his awakened form, Chronos appears as a large, muscular male humanoid with thick, tube-like tentacles for hair.



Personality
Among the awakened beings who gathered around Rabona, Chronos is perhaps the most interactive, conversing with the warriors and Raki. He appears somewhat laid-back, though can be serious when the situation deems it necessary. He has also been shown to be patient, or at least more patient than Lars, and has confidence in his abilities.

Abilities and Powers
Chronos's abilities as a claymore remain largely unknown, but it can be deduced that he held some power as he was ranked as a single-digit.

In his awakened form, he has been shown to possess considerable strength as he managed to significantly damage Cassandra's base body with a single punch.

Biography
Little is known about him save that he was the fourth single-digit to awaken, leading the Organization to arrange a meeting between Isley, Rigardo and Dauf, the top three warriors, on Vinci Hill.

He survived several generations and was among the group of awakened former single-digit warriors who gathered outside Rabona to witness the being whose power surpasses the Abyssal Ones. He also admitted to Miria that he was curious to see the faces of the warriors who have successfully destroyed the Organization.

Later, he is shown along with the other awakened beings to have realized that Cassandra has accelerated her movement speed.

He was one of the awakened beings who survived a Destroyer-possessed Priscilla's initial onslaught, and then observed the claymores dispatch of the two awakened beings that were sent into Rabona during the attack. He conversed with Raki about his relationship with Priscilla and present when Miria proposed an alliance against Priscilla and Cassandra.



From afar, he and Lars observed two battles: the one between the Ghosts, aided by the female awakened beings, and Cassandra, and another between a Destroyer-possessed Priscilla and the being whose yoki resembled Riful's. He explained how Priscilla managed to make the Destroyer take all the damage from the Riful-like being, allowing her to free herself from the parasitic being.

Eventually, he and Lars joined the battle against a Priscilla-controlled Cassandra. He called Europa out, forcing the single-digit to stop feigning death and join the battle. He aided the other four awakened beings to severly injure the Abyssal One, with Clare delivering the finishing blow.
