"Fear the wrath of my pyroblasters, space weirdos! HAHAHAHAHA! Kablooey! Kablammy!" - Pyrrhon
Pyrrhon is a major character in Kid Icarus: Uprising. He is said to be the self proclaimed god of the sun, and assists Pit in fighting off an alien invasion. He appears during the Aurum arc of the main story (Mysterious Invaders, The Aurum Hive, and The Aurum Brain) as an ally in the former two and a brainwashed antagonist in the latter. His primary method of offense is his ability to manipulate fire and use it to attack enemies and his ability to fly fast. He is depicted as a strong head superhero-like character with a large ego and surprising intelligence, although the latter two traits do conflict with each other sometimes when Pyrrhon talks.
Appearances
Kid Icarus: Uprising
"The self-proclaimed "Sun God" who is investigating--and entranced by--the wondrous and alien Aurum. Pyrron's massive ego seems inversely proportional to his intelligence, making his boasts of divine lineage a bit hard to swallow."
Trivia
* Pyrrhon is likely inspired by Apollo, the Greek god of the sun, although his name appears to be based on Pyrrho, a Greek philosopher. It might also come from the word "pyro", which means fire.
* When Pyrrhon became possessed by the Aurum, he started speaking nonsense including binary numbers that translate into "kill".
* At one point Pyrrhon references Wikipedia by the in-universe name of Divinipedia.
* There is much debate in-game about Pyrrhon's godly status. Dialogue from both Palutena and Viridi indicates that neither are sure of whether he is a god or not due to his eccentric personality and thickheaded-ness, and his idol refers to him as the self-proclaimed sun god.
* He may also be based upon King Pyrrhus, due to the fact that he survives only three levels.
* He is one of the few major characters who does not have a weapon bearing his name- however, the Burning Palm may be inspired from him.
