Chris of Cross

Chris of Cross (also Prince Clother, King Clother) is a wanderer and former prince of the Kingdom of Cross. Chris's hereditary name is Clother, but he assumed the name Chris sometime shortly before the start of Star Ocean 2. He is son of the King of Cross. Chris's mother is unknown, his sister is Princess Rosalia. Chris was heir apparent to the throne of the Kingdom of Cross before spurning his birthright and going into hiding.

Story
The party may learn of a missing prince, Chris, by talking to servants around Cross Castle, early in the game. Even with the looming threat of the Sorcery Globe, Chris's absence manages to create its own crisis, as the King is now without issue.

Depending on party composition, the party may encounter Chris in a variety of different Private Actions. A special ending between Celine and Chris is possible as well. Chris returns to the kingdom and re-assumes his hereditary title and name, Clother. His in-game name changes to Prince Clother. During the special ending, Prince Clother has become King Clother and Celine Jules is now his queen.

In another notable direction of Private Actions as Claude Kenni (if the party did not acquire Celine), Chris will give Claude a General's Ring. This is the only way to acquire the ring in the game.
