Chrono is the son of Malachi and Beatrice. He is conceived on the journey between Earth and Mars and grows up on Mars. A disaffected child, he is classified as a “juvenile delinquent,” but is highly popular due to his magnificent skill at German batball. In accordance with Rumfoord’s prophecy about Malachi and Beatrice’s son finding an important piece of metal, Chrono accidentally acquires a strip of metal that he calls his “good-luck piece,” and which ultimately turns out to be the missing part Salo needs for his broken-down spaceship. After being taken to Titan and happily bequeathing his good-luck piece to Salo, Chrono joins a flock of Titanian birds, learning their language and making himself a cape of feathers so he can fly among them. He stays on Titan forever.
