Assassin (アサシン, Asashin?) is an Assassin-class Servant able to be summoned by Ritsuka Fujimaru in the Grand Orders of Fate/Grand Order.
Profile
Identity
Assassin's True Name is Katou DanzouWP (加藤段蔵WP, Katō Danzō?). A thief and spy whose name can be seen in the KanazoushiWP and military sciences documents from the early Edo periodWP—In other words, a ninja. Known by the alias “Flying Katou” and “Kite Katou”, while her activities in the Kai and Echigo Provinces has been reported, her origins and objectives are wrapped in mystery with various theories existing about it.[1]
There are legends about how Katou Danzou operated puppets, karakuri dollsWP, but those are legends derived from the fact that “Danzou herself was a karakuri doll”—so is the setting in this work.[1]
A ninja descended from the Fuuma, who were mostly active and flourished during the late Warring States periodWP. However, her true identity is that of a karakuri doll manufactured by the sorcerer Kashin Koji. An artificial female ninja (kunoichi) molded with the cooperation of the first generation Fuuma KoutarouWP, and possessed no life as a human being. However, as a result of accomplishing many of her duties and being often talked about even in later literature, her existence was carved into human history as a Heroic Spirit.[1]

Personality
A karakuri ninja of few emotions, and is quite mechanical. A karakuri girl. She did not possess free will in her lifetime, and she was just a mechanical doll that just abided by the orders inputted into her—or so she defined herself. But upon being carved into human history as a Heroic Spirit and manifesting as a Servant working for the current world, she began to consider that maybe, she might be allowed to think - and have feelings - just like humans. She wants to do so, if she is allowed.[1]

Profile
A thief, spy whose name can be seen in Kanazoushi, military sciences documents from the early Edo period---
In other words, a ninja.
Known by the alias “Flying Katou” or “Kite Katou”, while her activities in the Kai and Echigo Provinces have been reported, her origins and objectives are wrapped in mystery, with various theories existing about it.
Level 1 Bond
Height/Weight: 165cm・45kg
Source: Historical fact, “Kouyou Gunkan”, “Hokuetsu Gundan”, “Otogi Houko”, “Kouetsu Gunki (Picture Book)”, etc.
Region: Japan
Alignment: True Neutral Gender: Female
She has a second Noble Phantasm called, “Youjutsu Zanhou・Yuugao”(1), but it is fundamentally not employed in FGO. It seems that she does not want to use it due being too much of a murderous technique.
Level 2 Bond
There are legends about how Katou Danzou operated puppets, karakuri dolls, but those are legends derived from the fact that “Danzou herself was a doll”--- so is the setting in this work.
A ninja descended from the Fuuma, who was mostly active during the late Warring States period.
However, her true identity is that of a karakuri doll manufactured by the sorcerer・Kashin Koji. An artificial female ninja (kunoichi) molded with the cooperation of the first Fuuma Koutarou, and not a living human. However, as a result of accomplishing many duties and being talked about even in later literature, her existence was carved in human history as a Heroic Spirit.
Level 3 Bond
- Artificial Limbs (Karakuri): A++
The flesh became a man-made mechanism - particularly, a wooden machinery (karakuri).
Bonus modifiers are added to action checks related to combat and success checks.
At A Rank, not only the limbs, but her entire body is an artificial “karakuri doll”.
- Ninjutsu: A
The general term for the secret intelligence techniques, combat techniques, larceny techniques, torture techniques, etc., employed by ninjas.
Its system differs between each school. Since Katou Danzou was loaded with the skills of Fuuma Koutarou (First), her school would be that of the Fuuma party.
Level 4 Bond
"Karakuri illusionary arts・swallowed bull"
Rank: C Type: Anti-Beast Noble Phantasm
Range: 0~20 Maximum Targets: 50 heads(3)
Karakuri Genhou・Dongyuu(2).
Producing a vacuum blade and, after drawing the target in, pulverizing him by compression. An application of the illusion of swallowing up a bull that was described in “Otogi Houko”.
Thanks to a Mystic Code that Kashin Koji himself included, this is endowed with demonic-slaying properties.
Just like the anecdotes, it also possible to employ illusions of “erasing objects from before people’s eyes” and “make erased objects appear before their eyes again”, but those are fundamentally not employed in FGO.
Level 5 Bond
A karakuri ninja of few emotions, quite mechanical.
Karakuri girl.
She did not possessed free will in her lifetime, and was just a mechanical doll that just abided by the orders inputted in her--- or so she defined herself. But, upon being carved in human history as a Heroic Spirit and manifesting as a Servant, she began to consider that maybe she might be allowed to think - and have feelings - just like humans. She wants to do so, if allowed.

加藤段蔵には傀儡、からくり人形を操ったという伝説があるが、これは「段蔵本人がからくり人形であった」事実から派生した伝説であった───と本作では設定する。
戦国時代末期に活躍した風魔の流れを汲む忍者。
しかしてその正体は、妖術師・果心居士によって作られたからくり人形である。
初代・風魔小太郎の協力を元に形作られた人造の女忍者（くのいち）であり、命のある人間ではなかった。だが、幾つもの務めを成し遂げ、後世の文献にあってもよく語られた結果、その存在は英霊として人類史に刻まれた。
アンロック条件：絆レベルを３にすると開放

○忍術：Ａ

からくりげんぽう・どんぎゅう。
真空の刃を生み出し、対象を吸い寄せた後に圧縮粉砕する。『北越軍談』にて語られた、牛を呑み込む幻術を応用させたものである。
果心居士が手ずから組み込んだ礼装により、魔性特攻の性質を有する。
逸話通りに「物体を目の前から消す」「消した物体を再び目の前に出す」幻術として用いる事も可能だが、FGOでは基本的に使用されない。
アンロック条件：絆レベルを５にすると開放
感情少なく、機械的なからくり忍者。
からくり少女。
生前には自由意志を持たず、入力された命令に従うだけの機械人形である───と自己を定義していたが、英霊として人類史に刻まれ、サーヴァントとして現界するにあたり、自分もまた人間たちのように思考し、感情を抱いても良いのではないだろうか、許されるのであればそうしたい、と考えている模様。
アンロック条件：『その心、人に似て』をクリアすると開放
一時期、風魔の里に身を寄せていた段蔵はとある赤毛の幼子の育ての親となった。初代風魔小太郎の技を一種のデータとして内蔵した段蔵は、最高の「風魔の技の伝達者」であったのだ。
時に忍術の師として導き、時に母のように慈しんだこの幼子こそ、誰であろう───
後の五代目・風魔小太郎なのである。 - Artificial Limbs (Karakuri): A++
