Janus Cascade

Wild Arms 3
Janus Cascade is a Drifter thief known all over Filgaia. Born and raised in Little Twister, he's a brash outlaw who exudes overconfidence and arrogance. Unlike his followers Dario, and Romero, however, he can live up to his own boasts, usually.

Janus is first encountered attempting to steal the Arc Sceptre. The various party members of Wild Arms 3 each band together (albeit very loosely) to stop the theft, and Janus must escape the train without their intended goal. For the first part of the game, Janus and his group repeatedly confront Virginia's party over various artifacts. During these conflicts, Janus openly declares his admiration and affection for Virginia, who reciprocates to a point.

Ultimately, Janus's ambition loses him his comrades and even his humanity. When he attempts to claim the Dark Spear for himself at Ka Dingel, he is ultimately defeated. The Prophets, however, use the Dark Spear on Janus and mutates him into a demon form, the Demon Knight.For awhile, this seems to bolster both Janus's power and arrogance, and his next few encounters with Virginia's team are decidedly more unpleasant.

Janus reluctantly followed the Prophet's orders, seeking the time when he could betray them, but that time wouldn't come. Janus would meet his end when the Dark Spear within him would mature, aided frmo a download of Hyades, and recreate the legendary demon ,Siegfried. In the battle for possession, Janus would be impaled by the very blade he coveted.

Wild Arms 3 Bio
A Drifter with amazing abilities, who is known throughout the wasteland. He masterfully utilizes the "Bayonet", a difficult to handle weapon that is rarely used. He is fearless, smooth tongued, and over-confident, but has the abilities and skills to back them up.



Wild Arms 5
Janus appears as a 'narcissistic hunter' in the town of Laila Belle. Apparently, he's fairly well respected Golem Hunter in his own right, but still thinks too much of himself.
