Nagato Tohsaka

Tohsaka Nagato was the founder of Tohsaka family of magi that lived some 200 years ago. He was one of the three pupils of Zelretch that founded the tradition of Holy Grail Wars, other two being Makiri Zouken and Lizleihi Justizia von Einzbern.

Besides Magecraft, he practiced martial arts, and believed attaining emptiness through perfection of body was a way of reaching The Root. This practice was passed down through Tohsaka family, evident in Rin's prowess in martial arts in her confrontation with Caster.

As Nagato was a Hidden Christian, his family maintained good relations with the Church.
