He is the (possible) sun god, 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. | ||

At first glance, Pyrrhon seems to be an affable and boisterous character. The | At first glance, Pyrrhon seems to be an affable and boisterous character. The sun god is quite eccentric, acting as if he is a superhero from a comic book. As a result, he is seen as a bit of an oddball by the other gods and no one seems to take him seriously. Pyrrhon is very egotistical, possibly the most narcissistic character in the game. He usually addresses himself in third-person and refers to the other deities as "godlings". Despite his odd quirks, Pyrrhon is very brave, always rushing into danger head-on. However, this also causes him to act reckless as shown in [[Chapter 16]], where he inadvertently makes the [[Aurum Generator]] stronger with his firepower. | ||
However, [[Chapter 17]], reveals that his eccentric personality is merely a facade that masks a cruel and selfish egomaniac who will stop at nothing to achieve his ambitions. Pyrrhon is motivated solely by his ego, feeling that he is superior to all gods. He seeks to control the Aurum and become the strongest god in existence. | However, [[Chapter 17]], reveals that his eccentric personality is merely a facade that masks a cruel and selfish egomaniac who will stop at nothing to achieve his ambitions.

He also has immense knowledge of the Aurum, having studied them intensely. However, despite his intelligence and cunning, his mind appeared to be weak enough for the [[Aurum Brain]] to overwhelm him and turn him evil. | ||

As the self-proclaimed Sun God, Pyrrhon holds power over fire and is shown to be very adept in its use. Pyrrhon's main form of offense comes in the form of tossing salvos of fireballs at his opponents, or what he calls his "Pyroblasters". His strongest attack comes in the form of his "Pyro Cannon", a large column of fire he shoots from his hands. Pyrrhon is also capable of molding fire into whatever shape he desires such as waves of fire, a serpentine trail of flame he dubs the "Pyro Snake", and mines that explode upon contact with enemies or after a few second delay. Pyrrhon is also capable of regulating his body temperature as shown at the end of Chapter 15, where he was able to safely carry Pit out of the Aurum Islands without fear of burning him. Pyrrhon is also capable of flight and teleportation. | As the self-proclaimed Sun God, Pyrrhon holds power over fire and is shown to be very adept in its use.

Upon merging with the Aurum Brain, Pyrrhon's powers increase exponentially. Pyrrhon's merge now gives him control over every unit in the Aurum fleet, from the mighty battleship to the tiny foot solider. He can even amplify their strength with his fire powers. Like the other gods, Pyrrhon is capable of communicating through telepathy and can even block telepathic commands of other gods, shown when he prevents Palutena from extracting Pit during Chapter 17. Like other deities, he can also project his astral form. Though whether he had this ability before merging with the Aurum Brain is unknown. | Upon merging with the Aurum Brain, Pyrrhon's powers increase exponentially.

* According to Viridi, Pit is the only person that Pyrrhon considers an equal. This may be due to the fact both he and Pit are often looked down by most gods. | * According to Viridi, Pit is the only person that Pyrrhon considers an equal.
