Biography
Cross was not seen in the early manga chapters as it focused on allen. The manga only makes mentions of him and what he has done. Cross went to Alistar Krory the third's castle and gave a strange plant to Krory. The plant bit Krory and gave him the power of his parasitic innocence. He went to china hunting the earl and meet a major ally of the order. He stayed with the ally for a full year while tracking the earl and eradicating the Akuma in the area.

Cross left china for Japan and lands in toyko. Cross goes into hiding to avoid being spotted by the earl and akuma. Cross does what he can to reduce the sheer amount of akuma while in hiding. In the meantime he watches the Earl's movements and knows the ark is nearly ready to be used.

When his apprentice and his team with Tiedoll's team faces off against the noahs cross watches from afar. When the Earl and the Noahs enter the ark cross enters unseen with them. He eventually enters Tyki's and Road's room later. When Allen falls down a bottomless hole Cross saves him.

Cross battles the monstrous Tyki by unleashing The Grave of Maria. Tyki is completely immobilized and cross fires his entire ammunition clip into tyki with lightning speed. Tyki falls from the injuries he just got but before cross can finish the fight the earl stops them. Cross and the Earl exchange a few words before they both leave.

Cross, Tiedoll, and their teams return to order headquarters to take a break. The excorists

Anti-AKUMA Weapon
Judgement (断罪者): This equipment-type Innocence takes the form of a large caliber revolver with an undermounted barrel. Cross is able to fire several bullets in rapid succession, often emptying his rounds in a split-second. These bullets will not cease until they hit their target. A symbol in form of a cross can be seen wherever these bullets hit (even on barriers). Cross has also shown an attack ability called 'Arrow Of Original Sin' (原罪の矢), which forms the shape of a demon-like bow around Judgement as a cross symbol appears in front of it. This ability was used by Cross to attack the Akuma Egg during Lulu Bell's attempt to overthrow Headquarters. Recently, Cross has shown the ability to use Judgement at a "purging level," which allows him to launch a large, devastating attack with a cross symbol on it similar to the crosses made by his regular bullets. This attack swelled and bloated the Level 4 Akuma and rendered it unable to defend itself. Grave of Maria (聖母ノ柩): This parasitic-type Innocence doesn't belong to General Cross himself, but to Maria, an Exorcist with a parasite type innocence. It has been remarked by Allen that Cross is able to use magic to control Maria's corpse during a fight therefore allowing him to also use her Innocence. It takes the form of a large, flattened coffin wrapped with a long chain. When the chain is removed, the coffin opens to reveal a beautiful woman in a fancy dress with a large bow tied over her eyes, which makes it slightly reminiscent of a butterfly. This 'woman' is in fact the corpse of Maria. With the defensive ability 'Magdala Curtain' (聖母ノ加護), Maria uses her song to create illusions that can conceal the presence of others. She also has another ability called "Carte Garde" which allows her (or Cross) to control the person's movements by affecting the brain. Lavi has pointed out that Cross Marian's use of the "Grave of Maria" anti-Akuma weapon is unorthodox and forbidden.
