Relationships
Relatives: Hyperion and Okianis (brothers), Zarakali (sister)
Okianis: Okianis sees the dark-natured Cronus as being too high-strung for his liking, much the same view as he has toward Hyperion. Luckily for everyone else, Cronus does not have the patience to try and sway the powerful Okianis toward his nefarious causes. In the rare instances that they are together on the same side, however, Cronus often uses Okianis as an ear for his furious rants, to which Okianis usually just interjects with an intermittent "whatever, brother".
Zarakali: As the anchor that binds her brothers to the physical world, Zarakali is an essential part of Cronus's life. Created by Asli after her predecessor died, Zarakali was treated like an annoying little sister in her youth by the older titans. Hyperion in particular was apprehensive toward her, finding that her abrasive personality left something to be desired when compared to her forebear. As it turned out, Hyperion was right to be wary of her. Feeling that she was being held back and deserved more power than what she had, Zarakali used her abilities to weaken the titans when she sided with Anti during a scourge. Zarakali was eventually defeated and imprisoned by the titans. Against Hyperion's wishes, she was later released from her prison on the condition that her powers would be severely limited until she matured and could be trusted not to abuse them. Cronus is rightfully wary of Zarakali, but appreciates her fierce spirit. The two of them seem to acknowledge each other's capabilities and do not ruffle each other's feathers. In arguments among the titans about right and wrong, Zara will often side with Cronus.
Notable Relationships
Hyperion: As polar opposites in their morals and personalities, Hyperion and Cronus are nearly always at odds with each other. Both being creations of Asli, however, they are often forced to work together and have thus learned to at least feign tolerance. Their relationship has become more tense since the last scourge, during which Cronus temporarily aided Anti. Since then, Hyperion has little faith that Cronus has any capacity for good at all.Okianis: Okianis sees the dark-natured Cronus as being too high-strung for his liking, much the same view as he has toward Hyperion. Luckily for everyone else, Cronus does not have the patience to try and sway the powerful Okianis toward his nefarious causes. In the rare instances that they are together on the same side, however, Cronus often uses Okianis as an ear for his furious rants, to which Okianis usually just interjects with an intermittent "whatever, brother".

Personality
Alignment: Chaotic evil (Notoriety)
Personality: Cronus is brutal and ruthless. He does what he feels needs to be done to achieve whatever it is he wants at the time, with no regard to how it might impact others. Asli does not particularly like him, but feels he is needed as Cronus can always be counted on to make logical decisions in situations where the emotional response would cause dire consequences. Though Cronus doesn't like answering to a higher power, he does seem to respect Asli most of the time. Cronus enjoys being strong, but he does notlike being responsible for other people and is highly unlikely to seek power over groups of people (i.e., world domination is not on this villain's to-do list).

History
Like his brothers, Cronus began his life as a non-corporeal entity created by Asli with the purpose of helping him make decisions for Velukaelo, the three of them forming a sort of council or external conscience. Known as the titans, the three of them are the oldest gods in Velukaelo's pantheon besides Asli and Anti and their mother Oreki. Because they were so powerful Asli created a fourth titan to keep them in check, whose power acted as an anchor that bound the three original titans to physical vessels. Unlike Hyperion and Okianis, Cronus has been known to waste his way through vessels rather quickly, sapping them of their life force to fuel his own power. In recent years, Cronus seems to be keeping to himself and leaving the chaos-making to younger gods. Being very old and having gotten mostly everything he wants, he is merely biding his time until the next great war when he can be put through his paces once more.
