Character » Dohko Gold Saint of Libra appears in 12 issues.
He is one of the oldest characters in the manga next to Aries Shion, as they both appear in the previous Holy War, and is most known by his role as Dragon Shiryu's mentor. Dohko, Draco Shiryu's master, is generally known as Roshi, or old teacher, that's probably out of respect for his age and position. Dohko is the only living Saint from the last Sacred war over 200 years ago, the other being Shion, the former Pope killed by Saga. They were the only survivors from the last Sacred war and each assigned a duty, Dohko's being to watch over the tower that seals the 108 Hades Spectors. Dohko looks like an old man but he actually is only 18. Athena granted him the method of faking death(age), so each year he lives only correspond to one day of a normal human. When in case of emergency, he can turn back to his young, handsome self again(of course he can't shrink back to an old man afterwards). This became useful in the Hades chapter when Shion was revived by Hades to kill Athena, and Dohko, not knowing that Shion and Saga's deeds was for a good cause, transformed and rivaled Shion, none of them seem to be hurt from their conflict though. Dohko was a greatly respected Saint and he was very wise, after the war with Ares he became the leader of all the Saints, as the Pope didn't exist anymore. During the war with Poseidon Dohko realised that Hades was going to revive soon and he ordered that all Gold Saints to stay in the Sanctuary, thus resulting in Seiya and co fighting alone, again.
