A squire to Cyrus, the Knight-Captain to King Guardia XXI, Glenn always looked up to the older warrior as a mentor and "big brother" figure, as they had been close childhood friends -- Glenn had been picked on as a child. Though he was, in truth, the superior swordsman of the two, he always deferred to Sir Cyrus as the better man. When King Guardia sent Cyrus to the Denadoro Mts to recover the lost Masamune, Glenn happily accompanied him, and helped him to retrieve the mythical Masamune from its resting place atop the mountain peak. Prior to this, the two recovered the Badge of Courage from the Frog King
Unfortunately, the pair was attacked by Magus, then a powerful Dark wizard, and his cohort Ozzie. Cyrus was defeated; his last words to Glenn were to take care of Queen Leene, and then, tragically, he died in a burst of flames, disappearing completely in a matter of seconds before Glenn's horrified eyes. Before Glen could take any action, a mocking Ozzie goaded Magus into transforming Glenn into a huge, anthropomorphic frog. Frog established a forest abode in the Cursed Woods, and retained service to the Kingdom of Guardia; in the Lavos Timeline, Queen Leene was kidnapped and later rescued by Frog from the Cathedral. It is unknown what happened to Frog in this timeline afterwards, or whether he defended Zenan Bridge. In the Keystone Timelines, Frog assisted Crono and Lucca in their rescue of Queen Leene, and departed to the Cursed Woods. After Crono brought him the ressurrected Masamune, however, Frog joined the party for good. At the North Cape, Frog was offered a final chance to kill Magus in a duel, but declined, showing maturity.
Frog suffered from guilt most of his life in not being able to alter the death of Cyrus and failing in his mission, but this was resolved in part during the Cyrus's Ghost sidequest. Frog was allowed to speak to Cyrus beyond the grave, who conferred spiritual power on the Masamune. It is unknown what became of Frog after the events of Chrono Trigger; the PSX version depicts him outright as returning to human form, while the SNES version suggests he remains a frog. He probably returned to Guardia and lived out his life peacefully, bequeathing the Masamune as an heirloom of Guardia.
