Crono Briare, the starting character on this trek through time and space begins as a young nobody, without a real purpose in life. The events at the Millenial Fair change all of that, sending his life into a spiral toward an ultimate confrontation with Lavos in which he dies.....at a date piror to his own birth by about 13 millenia. At this point, the fixed events kinda stop, but with the help of his friends, he is revived and continues the fight, but in silence. He is strong in the ways of Lightning Magic, and his spells, especially the incredibly powerful Luminare are quite useful in battle.
