| - Pisces Albafica (魚座(ピスケス)のアルバフィカ, Pisukesu no Arubafika) is the Gold Saint of Pisces.
- Pisces Albafica is the Gold Saint of the Pisces Constellation of the 18th Century, as seen in the Manga / Anime Saint Seiya: Lost Canvas. Born in the Netherlands, he was abandoned as a baby and left in a garden of red roses. A man who lived in a house next to the flowers soon found him, and began to raise the baby as his own. Said man was Rugonis, the current Saint of Pisces. Albafica's child was one of hardship, daily training and learning the arts of Cosmos and combat with his foster father and teacher. After many years, the young Albafica acquired a reasonable control of Cosmos and of the Demon Roses' poison, and soon Rugonis decided it was time to begin the final step of the boy's training: The Crimson Bond. Daily, Albafica and Rugonis would exchange a drop of their blood, so that their bodies would slowly grow accustomed to and develop it's own poison. Should Albafica's body and Cosmos prove unworthy of becoming the next Pisces Saint, he would perish. After much time of constant pain, both physical and mental, the youth pulled through, his body adapting completely to poisons of all manners. Unfortunately, this meant that his blood became far deadlier than that of Rugonis, who died satisfied. Now as the new Pisces Saint, Albafica once again lived a life of sadness. It was due to his own highly successful training and prodigious control of Cosmos that his mere prolonged presence proved highly venomous to normal humans and lesser Saints alike. Remaining in isolation, Albafica hid his emotions from all, living only for justice and protecting those he cared for under a stoic exterior. During the Holy War of 1743, Albafica protected the Sanctuary and the village of Rodorio from a horde of specters and fought directly with the Underworld Judge Minos, who dominated him in combat, breaking all of the Saint's limbs. Knowing his opponent would slaughter the innocent, and that he could not stop him normally, Albafica saw no other end to his life: Burning his Cosmos beyond his limitations, the Saint used all of his poisonous blood in an extremely deadly attack, dying in the process, but taking Minos' life with him. Smiling to the innocent of the village, Albafica perished as a hero.
