Since then, Glenn (now calling himself "Frog") has fought a one-man war against the Fiendlord's armies. Taking his general's advice, Magus cast another spell that transformed Glenn into an anthropomorphic frog and flung him off the mountain. Ozzie suggested that Glenn looked like an angry, hopping toad. Glenn picked up the broken hilt of the sword, growing angry and vengeful. Magus, in an act of utter spite, cast one final spell that killed Cyrus. Cyrus charged Magus, but was blown back by his powerful magic. Glenn could only stand back and watch, afraid to get involved.
Shortly thereafter, armed with the only weapon that could defeat him, Cyrus faced Magus. Cyrus single-handedly managed to defeat the twin Mystics, and they offered him use of the sword out of admiration for his skills. Together, they traveled to the top of the Denadoro Mountains to claim the Masamune from Masa & Mune. 590 AD, Cyrus and Glenn departed to face the Fiendlord Magus. Glenn and Leene became close friends, the young queen always fearing for his safety.įrog and Crono in the FMV of the PlayStation release. He journeyed with Cyrus on many adventures, including a battle the Toad King which yielded the retrieval of the Hero's Badge. In the end, Glenn came to Guardia to serve as Cyrus' squire. After Cyrus protested that Glenn was better than he with a sword, Glenn explained that he didn't think he could bring himself to hurt others. He asked Glenn to come with him, but Glenn didn't feel he'd make a good knight. Several years later, when Glenn was a teenager, Cyrus declared that he was going to enlist as a royal knight of Guardia. Glenn never fought back since it hurt him emotionally to try and hurt another. The children in his home town often teased him for reasons unknown. His closest friend was Cyrus, who was several years his senior. Glenn was born in Guardia, possibly in Truce or Dorino. Iconic for his green cape, Frog also wears britches, a belt fitted with a scabbard, boots, and blue gloves.īiography Childhood in Guardia Although transformed into an animal, Frog continues to wear human clothes, seemingly out of habit rather than apparent need. A few of his Techs involve the use of his long, sticky tongue to grapple enemies. His amphibian physiology allows him to jump very high and move very swiftly by hopping. However, he is immensely strong, since he is able to wield the Masamune with ease. In his changed form, Frog only stands around four to five feet tall. Frog wields a broadsword and can learn " Water" magic once he meets Spekkio like Marle, he also features a few healing techs. Frog can later put Cyrus' ghost to rest, regaining his courage and clearing his conscience, and he has the opportunity to either defeat or ally himself with Magus. He is the true bearer of the Masamune, an ancient sword whose offensive capabilities against magic users is Magus's major weakness. Blaming himself for failing to be strong, Frog is depicted as chivalric but mired in regret over the past. Frog dedicates his life to protecting Queen Leene and vows to avenge Cyrus by killing Magus. He later witnessed Cyrus's death at the hands of Magus, and shortly afterward, was transformed into an anthropomorphic frog by the dark mage. He was presumably a squire under Cyrus, a "Knight of the Square Table." (This pun only exists in the SNES/PS version.) Glenn had a notably close, although platonic, friendship with Queen Leene.
