Lynx
Lynx, known as Yamaneko in the Japanese version, serves as one of several antagonists in Chrono Cross.
An anthropomorphic feline, Lynx is Kid's archenemy.
He seeks the legendary Frozen Flame, and at the start of the game, he has been living among the Dragoons of Viper Manor in efforts to steal an item called the "Dragon Tear".
For reasons initially unknown to Serge, Lynx is actively seeking him out.
In Fort Dragonia, Lynx manages to possess Serge's body and to trap Serge in his own.
For this portion of the game, the player control Lynx's body with Serge trapped inside.
Meanwhile, Lynx, in Serge's body, quickly becomes a scourge, tarnishing Serge’s reputation, and placing Kid under a spell, forcing her to follow him.
Once back in the "Home World", Serge in Lynx's body, must also take the heat for the prior actions of Lynx in that world; where he served as an agent of the militarist nation of Porre and helped overtake El Nido.
Additionally, here, he had been responsible for leading the Acacia Dragoons to be trapped in the Dead Sea while searching for the Frozen Flame.
Lynx is not actually seen, but it is confirmed by series creator Masato Kato in the Ultimania guide that Lynx did go to the Dead Sea with Harle and died there.
Eventually Serge succeeds in getting his original form back, and defeats the true Lynx.
Near the end of the game, Lynx is revealed to have been Wazuki, Serge's father, brainwashed and shapeshifted by FATE.
When the young Serge was bitten by a panther demon, Wazuki and his friend Miguel sailed to meet the Sage at Marbule.
The violent storm caused by the Lavos-fused Schala threw them off course and they ended up in the Sea of Eden.
Due to the storm, FATE, the supercomputer which controls Chronopolis, shut down temporarily.
Serge was healed by the Frozen Flame but was at the same time chosen as the "Arbiter of Time" between Lavos and the beings of the planet.
Wazuki's mind was eroded by his fears, catalyzed by gazing into the Flame.
Wazuki and Serge returned to Arni, while Miguel remained trapped as FATE rebooted.
Despite their return, Wazuki's mind eventually succumbed to FATE; he was turned into the physical manifestation of Serge’s greatest fear, a humanoid panther, and was instructed to drown Serge in order for FATE to regain control of the Frozen Flame.
However, it was not sufficient, as the Flame's chamber is sealed by another defense mechanism.
In 1015 AD, Lynx and his assistant Harle attempt to persuade Lucca into unlocking the defense mechanism, Prometheus.
As Lucca does not comply, they burn down her home and orphanage.
This event can be witnessed later in the game, through time travel.
Serge watches the scene and meets Kid, before returning to his own time.
