Chrownos

Chrownos (時冠；jikan) is a family introduced in SD55. The family name is a Japanese word pun on the Japanese word "time", but instead of using the usual kanji, one of the characters is changed to the character which means "crown". Hence, the family name can be interpreted literally as "king of time". Cards in this family are also designed around the theme of time. With time as its motif, a lot of the spirits in the family have effects related to the number of counters. 
While debuted in SD55, and having The SpacetimeDragon Chrono-Dragon as a signature powerful Spirit to represent the family, the family as a deck made its first major appearance in BS55. Unlike the previous Spirits in the family, this time all of them are Blue in color. Since all of them own the Primal family, it is possible for the deck to deviate from the Blue Primal deck and WBS deck introduced in the last few sets, while receiving generic Primal supports. A Primal Chrownos deck could therefore be constructed, with The TimeGuardian Lombardia as its finisher.
Moving on to True Rebrith era, the family and the Primal Chrownos deck as a whole continued to receive new supports in BS56 and BS57. Then at the last set of the era, BS59, a new wave of support for the family kicked in together with the introduction of The Grandwalker Chronos and its avatar, The ChrownosSupremeDeity Shin-Chronos. All the new Chrownos Spirits, however, have Chrownos as their sole family, and no other families. This cut off the support from the Primal era. The deck also proceeded to play with a new style, which involved discarding cards from own deck, and returning them to the deckbottom to trigger various effects, essentially another way of showing the manipulation of time. The deck's endgame involved using the special Count Break of The ChrownosSupremeDeity Shin-Chronos to skip the next opposing turn, which in turns give the turn player an extra turn.

The family in general serves as the major villain family throughout. 
In SD55, it is mentioned that the Chrownos Spirits assisted Lolo in his search for the missing Alex using their power of time travel. It is also hinted by then that there is a hidden leader and mastermind behind the Chrownos Spirits.
Later, on Alex and Vina's journey to save Fragment Hexa, they slowly realized that there was someone plotting behind the destruction of the world, and the aim was to re-create the world in the way they like. The Tri-Disaster Beasts and a certain Chrownos Spirit are exactly a part of the spirits that were sent forth to carry out such a task. And by the end of BS54, it was revealed that their true enemy was Chronos, the "Betrayed Grandwalker". In BS55, Alex and Vina were finally confronted with the Chrownos Spirits led by Lombardia, a general of Chronos. While ultimately defeating Lmobardia, and preventing his world-rewrite plan, the true battle with Chronos and his main army had yet to come. 
In True Rebirth era, Vina and Alex learnt from their visitors from the future that Chronos and his Chrownos army had been messing up not only Fragment Hexa, but also every dimension and spacetime. Defeating The OracleTwentyOnePillars XVI The Tower and his followers, Vina, Alex, and all their new friends eventually got to travel back to the future for the final battle against Chronos. With the help from various Oracle Spirits and other allies from past and future, they tracked down the location of Chronos' castle, and launched a full attack against Chronos' Spirits. While the main army was clashing with Chronows army at the front gate, Alex, Vina, and the others formed a suicide squad and infiltrated into the castle. Inside, with sacrifices and help from a lot of different parties and a perfect calculation of timing, Chronos was defeated by Vina once and for all. There are currently no mentions of where the Chrownos Spirits went after the fall of Chronos, but it is assumed that they vanished for good.
