Surplices

The Surplices are the armors of Hades' Specters, whom are the deity's personal warriors. There are 108 unique armors to fit each of the Specters, but there are also a mass produced Skeleton Surplice that each guard wears. Surplices have also been given to the deities that serve the god, such as Hypnos and Thanatos. New Surplices can easily be created for temporary servants such as the Gold Saints that were revived during the Holy War of 1990.

## Background

According to the Hypermyth, Hades had been observing the battles between Poseidon and Athena for centuries, even helping Ares at one point. Eventually Hades took note of the armors that the Athena´s 88 Saints and the Marina wore, and decided to create his own army. Hades named these armors Surplices, and unlike Athena´s Cloths, these would act in accorance with one of the 108 Demon Stars and seek out a suitable wearer. The armor and star would then instantly heighten the users Cosmo and make them a capable warrior of Hades.

The Saints eventually developed a way to keep the Demon Stars with the Surplices sealed inside a monument. Which made them unable to take on new users. The seal would dissolve every 247th year, enabling them to escape.

Hades and other gods are capable of creating Surplices, as is seen when Hades created Surplice versions of the Cloths for Saints that betray Athena. Kairos is also seen creating a Surplice for Partita.
