Hasgard is the Gold Saint of the Taurus Constellation from the 18th Century, as seen in the Manga / Anime Saint Seiya: Lost Canvas. A man as strong as he is physically imposing, Hasgard may intimidate on first glance, but beneath his rough appearance, lies great kindness and honor. As a Saint, Hasgard abandoned his true name, replacing it with that of the Red Giant Star Aldebaran, not only due to the Taurus Constellation itself, but as an homage to various past Saints of Taurus who also took the star's name and fell in previous wars.
