Saturn is one of Charon's four (three prior to Charon's introduction in Platinum) Team Galactic commanders who appeared as recurring enemies in Pokémon: Diamond, Pearl and Platinum Versions.
Background[edit]
Saturn was loyally dedicated to accomplishing Cyrus's vision of a better world, like most of the Team Galactic commanders. He was fascinated by the irony of how Cyrus dreamed of a world without spirit, which he hated, while using his fiery speeches to rally the speeches of his followers. When Cyrus sent out his commanders to retrieve the three legendary mirage Pokémon of the lakes, Saturn was sent to Lake Valor after it had been hit by a Galactic bomb, where he was able to obtain Azelf. Lucas/Dawn then confronted him in the empty cave at the drained lake. Saturn felt that Jupiter should have been ashamed of herself for losing to such a child and then battled the player trainer in order to crush all opposition to Team Galactic. He lost and was then disappointed that he was only able to buy his teammates time; however, he felt assured that Lucas/Dawn, being a child, could not stop them now.
Afterwards, Saturn remained at Team Galactic's headquarters in Veilstone City, where he watched over the captured Azelf, Mesprit and Uxie with Charon while Cyrus and the others went to the Spear Pillar to perform the ceremony that would create their new universe. Saturn had trouble following Charon's logic and seemed suspicious of him, saying that Cyrus did not need his kind of moral support. Lucas/Dawn eventually came across Saturn. He was not too shocked, but he admitted that he did not understand Cyrus and why he let a kid like Lucas/Dawn roam around freely. Saturn battled them to make up for being insulted back at the lake, but he lost once again. He claimed that they were tough, but he still pitied the likes of them. Saturn then allowed them to free the three Pokémon, likely because Team Galactic had no more use for them. He also told them about the Red Chain that Cyrus had created for something at Mt Coronet, while claiming that he did not really know anything else about Cyrus's plans.
Following Cyrus's defeat and disappeara, Saturn was left in control of Team Galactic. In Platinum, Charon took control of a part of Team Galactic for a mission at Stark Mountain, but Saturn refused to participate and that group crumbled quickly with Charon's arrest. Saturn had learned that extremism was not the answer and decided to rededicate Team Galactic towards searching for new sources of energy, instead of lying about it in their commercials.
