>>89063511Saint is a metaphor for the Bodhisattva. A person in Buddhism who chooses to remains within the cycle and guide others to the path of Ascension. While he is immune to his own blasts he's perfectly capable of bathing in void fluid. His act of defiance towards the Void Worm is him choosing not to ascend. His intro cutscene even implies he has already ascended once and you've been an echo since the start.
