SAINT SEIYA SOUL OF GOLD CAPÍTULO 12 SERIES
It is revealed later in the series that the saints are not the only humans to know about cosmo. In the first part of the series - composed by arcs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 - the five Bronze Saints fight the pope's troops in order to control the sanctuary, the only place from which Athena and her saints could effectively protect the world against the yet greater threats.

In the beginning of the Saint Seiya series, battles are fought to win back the control of the Sanctuary from Gemini Saga, the impersonator of the former Pope (in the manga, Shion, in the anime, Arles). The sanctuary usually intervene in affairs that threaten the peace and/or lives of a great qnumberof people. Athena's love for mankind inspired the birth of the saints, and the making of their cloths during the holy wars against Ares. The main objective of the sanctuary's existence (and the reason that humans allied with Athena) is to protect humanity and the world from divine forces that want to destroy or conquer it. Some Silver Saints are given command over units of their own rank, Bronze Saints or soldiers, but they must prove to be good leaders. Under the Pope, there are the 12 Gold Saints, who act as generals to Athena's army, leading the soldiers and lower-ranked saints into battle. Therefore, a human representative, known as Pope, is chosen among the saints to lead them between the eras.
