Mars Clan

The Mars Clan is one of the three canonically mentioned clans of adepts in both Golden Sun games, the others being the Mercury Clan and the Jupiter Clan.

History
They are thought to be the ancestors of the people of Prox, as Proxians refer to themselves as members of the "Fire Clan of the North". This is made more credible by their settlement's close proximity to Mars Lighthouse. The present-day Mars Clan members - assuming Proxians are in fact related to it - have developed scaly skin, and have various skin colors, from pink to blue to green. Thus, they appear to be closely associated with Dragons; this happens to be the symbol for Mars, as seen in Mars Lighthouse.

Saturos, Menardi, Karst and Agatio
This association with dragons is also clearly shown in both Golden Sun games. In the first installment, Saturos and Menardi meld together upon the activation of the Venus Lighthouse into the Fusion Dragon; a huge, two-headed beast overflowing with Psynergy. In The Lost Age, the replacements of the slain duo, Karst and Agatio, are transformed into Flame Dragons by the wise one after succumbing to Mars Lighthouse. Agatio also employs his exclusive Psynergy Rising Dragon during both battles in which he is fought.

This opens up the possibilty that all of the elemental clans underwent some sort of mutation corresponding to the symbolic form of life they were associated with. This can be somewhat seen with the surviving Mercury Clan members Mia and Alex, as both have strikingly blue hair. Also, the Jupiter clan - of which Hama and Ivan belong and are generally accepted to be the ancestors of the people of Contigo and Shaman Village - are said to have possessed the ability to fly.

Other Possible Descendants
The dwarf race of Loho apparently migrated from the Northern Reaches to their current settlement in search of mining grounds. Because they do not appear to demonstrate any Psynergy, however, it is much less plausible that they are direct descendants of the Clan.
