[edit] The Guard Dog
Kurumada introduced Phlegyas in vol.24 of his manga. Phlegyas is the Spectre who guards the Dark Lake in the fourth prison. He usually freight people over, but he doesn't charge them as Acheron Charon did. Yet when the saints Gemini Kanon, Dragon Shiryu and Cygnus Hyoga, he charged one thing, their dead bodies. The Saints sensed that he was more powerful then the previous Specters they had encountered. But as they were in a hurry the two Bronze saints attacked the Spectre, but Lycaon knocked them unconscious easily with his "Howling Inferno" technique. He explained to Kanon that he had been ordered to take their dead bodies to the prison for the most serious sinners. But the Gemini Saint pushed out Lycaon's raft were Hyoga and Shiryu lay on, the Specter did not understand why he would do such a pointless thing. Lycaon mocked him, but the Saint calmly said that he would get on the raft after the Spectre was dead. Lycaon charged towards Kanon with his "Howling Inferno", but Kanon did not retilate and said that a technique does not work twice on a Saint. The Gemini Saint unleashed his "Galaxian explosion" technique, and killed Lycaon in an instant.
