Unlike other Astral Council members who are Modifiers, Oceanus will transform his appearance and give himself a new identity every so often in order to facilitate his activities within human society. He is currently known to the public as "Cadyllon" and appears as the young, successful son of a fisherman, but in fact, he is a Modifier who has been active since "The Dark Ages" and who has always strived to elevate art to new heights. While changing his appearance is fairly easy with the help of his Divine Power, he also has to retake the Council admission examination each time he assumes a new identity. Few Modifiers would go to all this trouble like Oceanus does. Ever since the Council was formed, the position of the third judge has always been held by Oceanus, leading Hades to jokingly refer to him as "The Unshakeable Third."

Equipping by Backflowing - Oceanus grants the following effects:
Increases Crit Rate by 10%.
There will be a combo count which accumulates with every normal attack hit and skill casting. When the combo count stack is at max or the combo is interrupted or ends, a temporary Ghost appears on the battlefield for a short time, dealing a series of strikes to the locked-on enemy that is equal to the combo count stack. Combo count stops stacking while this Ghost attacks. When the remaining number of stacks are insufficient for the cost of the Ghost's attack, the remaining combos will be directly expended instead. Every hit landed with a normal attack strike increases the combo count stack by 1 while each skill casting or post-Extremity Dodge skill increases the stack by 5, up to a maximum of 20 stacks, with the attacks dealing Water DMG equal to 100 ATK.
