Archer (Fate/Prototype: Fragments)

Archer (アーチャー) is the Archer-class Servant of Elsa Seijou in the First Holy Grail War of Fate/Prototype: Fragments of Blue and Silver. He is able to be summoned by the Protagonist in the Grand Orders of Fate/Grand Order.

Identity
Archer's True Name is Arāshu (アーラシュ), a hero of legend from ancient Persia. His alias is Arash Kamangir. If translated to English, that would be Arash the Archer. In the West Asian society, an archer is namely a bringer of tranquility, and that surely points out to Arash. Even in modern times, he is loved by the people of West Asia.

He brought an end to the 60-year war between the Persians and Turkish while serving under King, who was known as the last king of the age of gods in west Asia. This hero is the savior who brought peace and order to both these peoples. In legends, the "national border" between Persia and Turan was created by means of Arash's ultimate arrow. It is said that, in exchange for a special move beyond humans, he lost his life by having his body scatter in all directions. He accomplished the great feat of saving thousands of people during battle.

Appearance
He is described with eyes full of life with brown skin.

Personality
In regards to the Master who is attempting to regain human history, Arash will probably respond to him with all his powers. Even now, he has not forgotten: how he once lived as a hero who saved the people, how he once waged everything for the sake of the people.

Fate/Prototype: Fragments of Blue and Silver
Archer attacked Tatsumi Kitano at Akihabara. He met Lancer there. He made an alliance with Lancer to eliminate Saber. Before he fought against Rider, he asked Elsa what she wanted.

Elsa said Tatsumi Kitano's wish was "to save Tokyo and people who live in it."

Knowing of her real wish, Archer fought against Rider to save the city with Saber. He used Stella to break Rider's Ramesseum Tentyris in a combined attack with Saber (also using Excalibur Proto to help Archer.) Archer succeeded in eliminating Rider, but he also exhausted his Magical Energy. Before Archer disappeared, he showed sadness at not seeing Elsa any more and asked Saber "What do you wish for from the Holy Grail?".

Abilities
Archer wields a crimson longbow. His Noble Phantasm is Stella. His personal skill is Robust Health (頑強) comprises poison resistance and boosts stamina. He is compared by Saber to Sir Tristan, a man whose skill allowed him to easily surpass the limits of a bow as if it was simply natural.

He can shoot salvos of up to twenty arrows at the same time and each of these has enough power to easily shatter boulders. However, between each of these barrages, a very small pause occurs. He is also seen to launch a much greater barrage if he makes a more extended pause.

Creation and Conception
Tristan, one of King Arthur's knights, was originally considered as Archer, but another hero was decided upon. Archer is compared to Tristan by Saber a few times in the story.
