History[]
Jugglus Juggler Chronicle: Ja no Michi wa Hebi[]
Sagittari was an orphan who was born during an interplanetary conflict. Because of her upbringing, she was forced to become a child soldier on a desolate planet and took up fighting as a means of living. After being recruited into the Interstellar Alliance, she was given command on her own squad of Special Force Officers and assigned to assassinate the leader of the Alliance's opposing faction. However not only were their actions were exposed, the Special Force Officers were left to die when the Interstellar Alliance suffered from an internal conflict, eventually getting themselves unpersoned to save face. Sagittari blamed herself for the deaths of her friends ever since and craved for more power to avoid the same incident from happening again. Upon hearing the legend of Crusader's Peak, Sagittari went to Planet O-50 and reached for the Voice of Light, but her grudges against the Interstellar Alliance shaped said power into the monster form known as Grigio.
Sagittari wished to use this newfound power to enact revenge on her ex-employers. Upon meeting Phalaris, she originally agreed to help boosting his arms dealing campaign by staging a monster attacks but one day when the former received the Fruit of Life from Celebro, the crazed Phalaris use his recently-acquired DNA modification technology to convert Grigio into Grigio Raiden, effectively rendering both Sagittari and her monster form as his mindless cyborg to control.
As Phalaris planned to escalate the conflict between the Interstellar Alliance and Imbat Federation, Sagittari obeyed his request by attacking the transport ship Aprohols and making Jugglus Juggler was arrested on Planet Kanon during his secret visitation to Micott's grave. Sagittari ambushed Juggler again when he infiltrated the Gigan Castle as part of Phalaris' plan to create a competition amongst the mercenaries for his gene bomb. When Biranki summoned Gango in a fit of rage, Sagittari transformed into Grigio Raiden to fight the monster to a standstill, but with Phalaris' death and Gango's disappearance, there was no one left to control her, causing the monster to continue its violent spree until nothing was left of Planet Baphomet. Grigip Raiden then left for Planet Earth under Celebro's orders to start his Civilization Self-Destruction Game, with Juggler followed in-suit and promising to give her a mercy kill.

Ultraman Z[]
As Grigio Raiden, Sagittari reawakened and fought against STORAGE and Ultraman Z, coincidentally at the same time when Haruki was still recovering from his guilt.

Trivia[]
- Juggler sympathizes with Sagittari, not only through her perpetual sad facial expression, but also from her backstory.

- He also relates her plight to Micott as both were victims of senseless conflicts made in the name of justice.
