About
Originally a human squire named Glenn, he was transformed into an anthropomorphic amphibian by the dark mage Magus. He serves as a chivalrous knight of the Kingdom of Guardia in the Middle Ages, wielding the legendary Masamune sword. He appears in Chrono Trigger, its compilation release Final Fantasy Chronicles, and various fan-made homebrew sequels like Crimson Echoes.
Designed by artist Akira Toriyama, the character's distinct visual style and personality have made him an iconic figure. In the English localization of the 1995 Super Nintendo Entertainment System release of Chrono Trigger, he was famously depicted speaking with a faux-Shakespearean, Middle English dialect, a creative choice by translator Ted Woolsey that was later modified in the Final Fantasy Chronicles (2001) compilation and subsequent ports to align closer to the original Japanese text.
Beyond his primary role, the character's presence spans multiple platforms and crossover contexts within the Chrono Trigger, Beauty and the Beast, and Survival Kids franchises. He is associated with titles such as Beauty and the Beast (1994) and the adventure game Stranded Kids (1999). Within the active fan-developer community, his narrative continues in prominent homebrew expansions, including Chrono Trigger: Flame Of Eternity (1990) and Chrono Trigger: Crimson Echoes (2022). His gameplay mechanics typically focus on water-elemental magic and dual-tech cooperative attacks, cementing his tactical utility in role-playing game history.
