## First Appearance

### Novel

Chapter 1094 Wake of Ruin *(Human Appearance)*

**Saint Cor** also known as *Wake of Ruin*, is one of the two government Transcendents. A legendary figure who had been protecting the waking world since the times of the First Generation.

## Appearance

He had a subtle scent of rot and slaughter that followed him like an invisible mantle. He wears an austere military uniform that has an insignia of four stars emblazoned on its sleeve. His sharp, pale face was framed by unruly raven-black hair. There is bleak dullness in his dark eyes.

## Personality

Saint Cor was not a likable person but it was hard not to feel respect toward him. He was strangely low-key but his age alone told volumes about what kind of man he was, and what ordeals he had lived through.

He is a wise and experienced man who has seen a lot in his life and knows that the world is not always black and white.

## Aspect, Abilities & Flaw

### Transformation Ability

Wake of Ruin's Transformation was a myriad of crows. The countless crows circled like a giant whirlwind of darkness and pivoted with eerie synchronicity. Their black beaks and vicious talons emitted a sense of deadly sharpness.

His transcendent form is extremely hard to kill, requiring the extermination of every single one of the myriad crows, potentially causing repercussions for Saint Cor if the swarm suffers heavy losses. The government Saint excelled in battles against many Nightmare Creatures or potent adversaries who did not possess a lot of physical defense.

## Background

The government Transcendent was not as renowned as the Saints of the Legacy clans, his age and experience revealed his character and the ordeals he had endured.

He is a member of the First Generation. He wasn't in the same league as the legendary figures such as Immortal Flame and Nightwalker because he was but a young child when the Spell first descended. He had, however, watched and helped build the current world order. Even though Saint Cor became Transcendent later than members of the Second Generation such as Anvil and Ki Song, he was nonetheless regarded as their senior.

## History

The arrangement between the government and the great clans was unclear, but the fact that Wake of Ruin was allowed to be excluded from control and did not serve any of the Sovereigns suggested that there was more to the old man than first appeared. He was the entire Antarctica operation's field commander, and Jet had a close relationship with the veteran Saint, who was one of his most trusted operatives.

After the Battle of the Black Skull, he gathered the group of survivors and found them a shelter in the Nightmare Desert. However after ensuring their safety, he took as many Asceneded with him back to the waking world as East Antarctica must be in crisis.

## Trivia

* Soul Reaper was one of the first people to be contacted by Wake of Ruin.
* According to Sunny, Cor had a slightly sweet sickening smell that reminded him of the smell of the battlefield.
* His laughter sounded like the caws of a hungry raven.
* He liked Sunless because he was a direct person.
