BarghestWP (バーゲスト, Bāgesuto?), Class Name Saber (セイバー, Seibā?), is a Saber-class Servant summoned by Ritsuka Fujimaru in the Grand Orders of Fate/Grand Order.
Profile[]
Identity[]
Barghest's other True Name is Fairy Knight Gawain (妖精騎士ガウェイン, Yōsei Kishi Gawein?, localized as Tam Lin Gawain).
A member of Faerie Britain's Knights of the Round Table. A Fairy Knight who assumed the name of the Saint Graph of Gawain who belongs to the Proper Human History's Knights of the Round Table. While she hails from the 'Fang Clan' renowned for their strong bodies, her Saint Graph is humanoid appearance-wise. The most feared Fairy Knight in Fairy Country. She's known as "Gawain the Loving" (愛多きガウェイン, Aiōki Gawein?) and "Gawain the Glutton" (大食らいのガウェイン, Ōgurai no Gawein?).[1]
Her name as a Fairy is Barghest, a title linked to a sprite associated with Northern England in Proper Human History. This entity takes the form of a chained dog adorned with fiery horns and eyes. In urban areas, it assumes the role of a fairy that foretells death and is believed to appear upon an individual's demise. In cases involving the passing of a prominent city figure, it is known to be accompanied by numerous subordinates (represented as dogs) and parades through the city streets. Beyond urban settings, it undergoes a transformation from a harbinger of death to a fairy that enacts death, often wandering across plateaus. It is commonly believed to prey on travelers it encounters. This folklore aligns with the broader narratives about fairy folk passed down through English traditions, categorizing it as a variation of the Black Dog.[1]
Appearance[]
Barghest is characterized by several distinctive physical features. Her long, ash blonde hair cascades down to approximately waist length. She possesses a notably tall, robust, and imposing stature, accompanied by a well-defined, ample bust. A noteworthy aspect of her appearance is her heterochromia, a condition in which her right eye exhibits variations dependent on her stage. These alterations range from an orange hue, a dark pinkish red shade, to the complete blackening of the sclera, with only a red circular border remaining in the place where her iris used to be. The left eye retains a teal-blue coloration throughout her different stages.
Barghest, with her striking physical traits, deviates significantly from the expected appearance of an Upper-Class Fang Clan Fairy in Norwich, intended to be the next generation of her lineage. Her distinct features closely resemble those of the Wind Clan member or even that of a Human. This deviation has led to speculation and debate within her community. Some conjecture that she may be a Changeling, while others postulate that she represents a manifestation of the Curse from the King of the Moss.[4]

Personality[]
Diplomatic and passive. Without hiding her feelings, she will share her intentions in a straightforward manner and then confirm the other party's feelings. She is a majestic and proud knight who doesn't feel ashamed in front of anybody, but when it comes to her (military) actions, she is the careful type who will take a proper look at the state of affairs first before making a move.
Only after seeing not only the convenience of one side but also the convenience of both sides, she takes up her sword, saying, "Let's annihilate the weaker one." Once on the battlefield, she is said to be a ruthless knight that mercilessly overruns the weak.
Although she has a straight-laced personality, since she has a noble upbringing (well-educated), she has the composure to appreciate jokes and has a fundamentally amicable way of thinking. However, since the person herself is not good at telling jokes or making others relax through the art of conversation, she isn't too talkative.
Perhaps due to considering the rule of survival of the fittest as absolute, she lets her guard down around those who feel "strong" to her, growing close to them and taking them as her lover. In truth, she is someone who easily succumbs to loneliness so she is quick to fall for others. In the past, she has taken many races...without distinction between men and women or fairy folk and humans...as lovers. However, those relationships didn’t even last a month and she returned to being single right away. Due to this, others call her a fairy full of love, but she receives cutting remarks from the Fairy Knight Tristan such as "I am simply the type to get bored easily; I am not at your level where you fall for others left and right". This is because she is compelled to seek out and ultimately devour strong mates in order to strengthen herself when the time comes for her to become the Black Dog; though she has tried to resist these cannibalistic urges and learned to love those who were weaker than herself, it only caused her instincts to force her to consume her loved ones instead. As the Black Dog, Barghest is little more than a raging monster that slaughters everything around her indiscriminately, with no trace of her original personality left.
She hails from the Fang Clan and, in human terms, she'd be a young lady from a count family. As a Fairy Knight she might behave in a stout-hearted and cold-blooded manner, but at her roots, she is kind and easily moved to tears.[1]
Relationships[]
- Baobhan Sith
- "Fairy Knight Tristan… No, here she's just Baobhan Sith, isn't she? If it's in Chaldea, where there are few fairies, I suppose she will behave as well but… What? She gets along and makes shoes with a Servant named Galatea, you say?"[2]
- "Baobhan Sith? Speaking of which, she can't be found. Even though it wouldn't be odd for her to visit Her Majesty Morgan's hotel... Speaking of odd, I have caught sight of an odd Servant wearing a pelt in the forest. This southern country is full of mysteries..."[5]
- She can not get along with the uninhibited and reckless Tristan, who treats fae and humans alike as toys that she will break.
- Tristan, on the other hand, having taken notice of how Gawain reeks of blood, wants to get along with her as people of the same kind, due to Tristan being one-sidedly sympathetic towards her.[6]
- Melusine
- "So Melusine’s here! Ha, hahahahaha!! Very well then, let’s settle who’s the strongest knight of the Fairy Kingdom! And you’ll be on my side, right Master?"[2]
- "Melusine... She gets to sunbathe on the beach every day, how nice. Is that supposed to be her guarding Her Majesty Morgan? It would appear her habits to slack off also need to be corrected here."[5]
- Even though she might also be one of the knights following Morgan's orders, Gawain hates Lancelot. The rumor among the fae folk that Lancelot is stronger than Gawain is also aggravating, but the reason for her dislike is that she has grasped that despite the strength Lancelot possesses, she is not serious about protecting Britain.
In addition, Gawain, who holds a tiny bit of love for all life, does not feel an ounce of love (appetite) towards Lancelot alone. This is because she managed to perceive on instinct that she is 'a filthy being that is neither faerie nor human and does not belong here'.[6]
- Morgan
- "Even Your Higness Morgan is here. Well, if it's a Master like you, even Your Higness will lend you her power, though… An astounding rival has appeared."[2]
- The lord she swore fealty to. Morgan is also quite fond of Fairy Knight Gawain.[6]
- Morgan (Swimsuit)
- "I have no idea why we came to a southern country, but since it's Her Majesty Morgan, she surely has some profound reason. Still, this place seems to be a little inconvenient. As a member of the clans of the Land of the Fae, I will attend to her so she can live a life worthy of a queen here."[5]
- Artoria Caster
- "Artoria… was it? I feel like we met somewhere in the past, but she didn't impress me. I guess she was so small I couldn't see her… Eh, don't say that? It will become more and more complicated? Is that so, I don't understand the sensibilities of the common people."[2]
- A powerless faerie who keeps pestering her. Once she was confirmed to be the 'Child of Prophecy', she became a target to be eliminated; however, that was only done for the sake of the Land of the Fae. She held no hatred for Artoria Caster herself. ...In fact, the childhoods of Barghest and Artoria Caster have a lot in common, which is also why the two of them feel "comfortable when they are together, even though they don't get why". Of course, the people in question are not aware of the reason behind that.[6]
- Artoria Caster (Swimsuit)
- "It's a great help that Artoria Caster is cooperating with us to protect the forest, but...can't something be done about her putting us in the red with the evening meals she consumes after she's done with her volunteering..."[5]
- Habetrot
- "Just why does Habetrot flee whenever she sees me? I just want to ask her for advice... She keeps saying she's running away for my sake, but I don't understand what she's talking about at all. Do you know what she means, Master?"[2]
- Mash Kyrielight
- "Mash Kyrielight, I owe a great debt to you. Just tell me if you need my Demonic Sword; I'll overcome innumerable obstacles and hasten to your side."[2]
- Cnoc na Riabh and Male Protagonist
- "Cnoc na Riabh from the King clan?! Impossible, why is she at Chaldea?! Ushering in the queen wasp that makes domination itself her sustenance, what were you thinki-─── No, I was wrong... I am not qualified to attack her. Both she and I are faeries dangerous to Proper Human History. I have no objections against what omae, who trusted and summoned me, decide."[2]
- Cnoc na Riabh and Female Protagonist
- "Cnoc na Riabh from the King clan?! Impossible, why is she at Chaldea?! Ushering in the queen wasp that makes domination itself her sustenance, what were you thinki-─── No, I was wrong… I am not qualified to attack her. Both she and I are faeries dangerous to Proper Human History. I have no objections against what kimi, who trusted and summoned me, decide."[2]
- Gawain
- "It’s S-s-sir Gawain! He’s so cool! And the outline of his physical muscles that cannot be hidden. Ku… I need to calm down, I’m acting in a shameful manner, I should have already moved beyond falling in love through specs alone."[2]
- The leader of the Knights of the Round Table that she respects. "Those who possess a heart stronger and more just than that of others' will denounce the evil that torments people." For Barghest, who was isolated within the Fang Clan as an unwanted child, those knights' code of conduct was something she yearned for and an ideal she pursued.[6]
- Tristan
- "Tristan, the child of sadness. I might have been unaware of who you were, but I would like to apologize for the impolite way I spoke to you back then. ...Well, I don't feel an ounce of shame about the battle we had following that. All I'll say is that your technique was splendid."[2]
- Ibuki-douji
- "Ibuki-douji. Yes, yes, I understand without you sating it. She's the prophesied child in Proper Human History, the being who stands at the top of every Saber, the messiah with the vertical sweater that surpasses the thin King of Knights! …She's not? Run away? A holy sword is coming flying from there, you say?"[2]
- Nitocris
- "I called out Nitocris, but I got her in a bad mood. Those ears… I really thought she was a fellow from the Clan of the Fang, so I carelessly licked her nape…"[2]
- Shuten-douji / Ibaraki-douji / Tomoe Gozen / Kijyo Koyo
- "Those who have horns and aren't humans. Oni, they are called. They're different from my horns, but the roots may be the same. Our fate too will turn out similarly as well… That's what it means."[2]
- Ivan the Terrible
- "Hold on, who's that gargantuan person...... built exactly like an elevated mountain, with muscles exactly like boiling magma...... He must be a late Fairy Lord. Ku... I'm starting to salivate. What? A Russian Emperor? You only look like a beastman, but aren't one? But wait, you're a mammoth no matter how I look at you though..."[2]
- Don Quixote
- "As a servant who supports their lord, I can't help but respect Sancho-sama's way of being. That might be the ideal form of a servant that walks together with their walks together with their lord."[5]
- Daikokuten
- "Daikokuten-sama took great care of me on this occasion. It's all thanks to them that Hotel Blistine is always clean and comfortable. Their only fault - if we can call it that - is that they are way too modest. They firmly insisted on being paid only the wages of one person."[5]
- Sima Yi
- "Reines-sama's servant also seems to possess wonderful serving skills. To give the universal familiar, fluid metal, the form of a servant and intelligence. Seems like Reiner-sama not only has the qualities of a tactician but also that of a queen."[5]
- Bedivere
- "Despite possessing fair looks, with a refreshing standing posture, he sticks to the shadows to make his lord stand out. So that's Bedivere, one of the Knights of the Round Table... A fearsome talent who was surely born to become a butler. Is there any butler candidate that could be his match in Her Majesty's faction...ah, there is one. A refined follower who, if trained well, could make Her Majesty stand out. Master, do you have any plans for later? No? Wonderful. Then how about taking some new lessons?"[5]
- Beni-enma
- "To add Japanese cuisine to my breakfast repertoire, I asked Beni-enma-sama to instruct me. I haven't had such fulfilling training in a while, I am immensely satisfied. To think she would be on the same level as Boulder Lion Boggart. ...Speaking of which, Beni-enma-sama has a lodging facility as well. Next time, I'll lend her my assistance to return the favor."[5]
- Roland
- "Master, recently, there is a personage who frequently gets naked in the hallways or the cafeteria, right? How should I talk to that personage, I wonder. Muscles tempered like diamonds that wouldn't lose to that of Sir Gawain...Would be possible to have a serious bout with him?"[5]
- Kyokutei Bakin
- "I have a close relationship with Omichi. Jogging with the Eight Dog Warriors is a good change of pace, after all. I would like Yatsufusa to come out once in a while, but I'll restrain myself."[5]
- Huyan Zhuo
- "So that's what they call a Phantom. She seems to be a Servant that's a mix of a warrior and a faerie. She moves like a shadow where her footsteps can not be heard, with well-trained thighs like the trunks of large trees, and sharp eyes that are always observing her surroundings... There is no mistaking it, she is a powerful individual comparable to the likes of the Knights of the Round Table. I'm sure she is a hearty and pleasant person. Please, introduce me to her by all means!"[5]
Role[]
Fate/Grand Order[]
Fae Round Table Domain: Avalon le Fae[]
Barghest was born as a Child of the Calamity, the reincarnation of the Great Calamity that Morgan averted 1000 years ago, and made to instinctively seek and devour strong mates to strengthen herself for the day she becomes the Black Dog that would destroy Britain. Morgan used the name Gawain as a seal to prevent Barghest from becoming the Calamity. But Barghest reached her limit long before she lost her Gifted Name, and it's miraculous she lasted as she did.
Constantly overcome with grief and self-loathing every time she ate a lover of hers, Barghest taught herself to love someone weaker than herself. Then, one day, she found a sickly and crippled human in the forest by the name of Adonis. She took him back to her manor and took care of him. She fell in love with him, and he comforted her every time she confided her woes to him. Unfortunately, Barghest's instincts one day overwhelm her and she accidentally eats Adonis. Out of grief and self-loathing, she nearly succumbed to her curse. But Oberon, considering it too early for that to happen, sealed her memory and made her think Adonis was still alive.
When Barghest returned to Manchester from Camelot ready to evacuate the fairies to the Proper Human History, she saw them gleefully killing the humans. Unbeknownst to her, they've been killing and eating the humans every day in the shed. Hearing that they were imitating her, Barghest's memories of eating Adonis are restored and she proceeds to massacre the fairies, realizing they cannot be allowed to leave Britain. She loses control of her bestial impulses and devolves into the Calamity, with her last conscious act being to beg Chaldea to kill her before she destroys Britain.
Barghest slowly makes her way to Norwich, destroying cities and razing forests and prairies as she does. She eventually arrives in Norwich and destroys the Vault Fortress, killing Spriggan. Ritsuka and Mash soon arrive, and with her Master supporting her from the Shadow Border, Mash heads out to kill Barghest so she doesn't leave Britain and become a Calamity to the Proper Human History. The battle affects Ritsuka adversely when Mash's shield glows and summons Gawain and Lancelot. Though Heroic Spirit summoning should be impossible in this Britain, Gawain believes it worked because their names were engraved on certain individuals. He and Lancelot then help Mash slay Barghest.[4][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][3]
Abilities[]
Barghest was born naturally strong.[3] Due to this, Boggart always admired her sheer strength.[10] She is blessed with an exceptional Saint Graph, even for one of the Fang Clan.[13] What she eats makes her stronger,[4][13][3] which makes her unusual for a Fairy.[4] Furthermore, she can inherit any unusual powers or abilities from the fairies she eats, although they are limited on capacity and compatibility. Right now, she is full with Foul Weather, the great Earth Clan Fairy. She needed his Sacrament for the Caterpillar War, so she challenged him to a duel, defeated him, and devoured him.[4][3] With this crucial ability, Barghest was able to defeat the Land-eating Calamity of 1800 AD.[4][3][19] Unlike the Calamity of Norwich, it wasn't a Great Calamity.[4] However, her ability to defeat it on her own led to Morgan recognizing her skill and appointing her as Fairy Knight Gawain.[10][4] Fairy Knight Tristan claims that no other Fairy could take Barghest's place as a Fairy Knight.[12] She is also regarded as Morgan's right-hand woman.[7]
Despite being an Upper-Class Fang Clan Fairy,[18] Barghest doesn't look anything like her previous generation and resembles a Wing Clan instead. Or rather, a Human.[4] The reason for this is that Barghest is the Leader of Black Dogs, the Curse the King of the Moss put on the Fang Clan.[16] Barghest was destined to become a Calamity with the passing of time, however, Morgan delayed it by giving her a Gifted Name.[15][16][17]
- Main article: Lord Black Dog Barghest
Combat[]
Barghest's horns are called Antennae of A-Rei, which act as seals to her instincts. She says they could be regarded as a second Soul.[2] During the Caterpillar War, she gained the means to strengthen it.[4] Boggart explains that he is part of the reason she became a Fairy Knight. He recommended her to fight using a sword and stop using her claws and jaws.[10] Due to this, Barghest carries a greatsword wreathed in black flames.[7] Although later called Fairy Sword Galatine in reference to the sword used by Gawain in Proper Human History, it isn't a real Holy Sword.[17] It is actually her transformed horn.[10][17]
Barghest is a Magical Energy-eater. When fighting someone with low Magic Resistance, she absorbs their life-force until draining them completely.[7][11][3]
Fairy Knight Gawain[]
Leonardo da Vinci states that she can't get a reading on Barghest's Magical Energy signal.[7] Although Ritsuka Fujimaru senses the same power as Gawain from the Holy City,[7] Barghest is confident that she can't hold a candle to the real Gawain.[4] Fairy Knight Lancelot is widely regarded as the strongest Fairy Knight, surpassing even Barghest.[7] Furthermore, Beryl Gut implies that Fairy Knight Galahad is also stronger than Barghest, as he believes that only Melusine could stop her.[10]
Barghest survives Tristan's attacks and Failnaught.
As Gawain, Barghest wields a silver-white armor created by Ector during a span of four years.[18] This, along with her powerful body, grants her outsanding Endurance.[7][10] During her fight with Tristan, Barghest was restrained with magical strings. Tristan used the mass of the entire town to pin her down while he attacked her. However, even Tristan's Failnaught was unable to kill her, and she simply broke free with her own Noble Phantasm.[7] When Boggart fired Black Barrel, it melted down six hundred royal army soldiers alongside Sheffield's main gate in an instant. However, Barghest survived getting hit by it and claimed that it was just a beam of hot Magical Energy. She says that the only threat it posed was a bit of iron poison and that it doesn't compare to a single strike of Morgan. After Boggart deflected a string from Fetch Failnaught, Fairy Knight Tristan stated that his skin must be tougher than Gawain's.[10]
When Senji Muramasa infiltrated Camelot to assassinate Morgan, Barghest was so taken aback that she wasn't able to stop him from sneaking into the throne room.[8][9] However, Barghest claims that she was just distracted by his unfamiliar technique at the time and that she could take him now because he has lost the element of surprise. Especially now that Morgan assured her not to worry about the castle being destroyed from collateral damage. Muramasa agrees that she did seem a bit constrained back then and that it should help her move around better. He wishes to cross swords with her again without holding back in a head-to-head fight.[4]
Barghest also uses Fairy-eating Black Dogs in combat.[7]
True Name[]
When Barghest's True Name is revealed, she becomes stronger than in her Fairy Knight form. She is a creature of the night, so as far as she is concerned, Gawain's Morning Light and Numeral of the Saint have been holding her back.[11] Furthermore, Oberon states that Barghest has ten times as much strength and skill as Artoria Caster powered by two Bells of Pilgrimage does, so fighting the former one-on-one would be suicide.[12] Da Vinci claims that Artoria powered by six bells would be fine if Barghest were to attack her. Grimm the Wise also states that Artoria Caster, Super Mash, and Ritsuka Fujimaru, are the only ones who can hold their own against Barghest, implying he and Senji Muramasa can't.[14]
The combined efforts of Artoria Caster powered by one bell, Senji Muramasa, Oberon, Da Vinci, and Ritsuka Fujimaru were able to defeat Barghest. While Barghest had one knee on the ground, Da Vinci was convinced that she still had strength to spare and that they could have kept fighting until they were all dead, Barghest included, if the latter had wanted to.[11] Muramasa admits that Oberon was really good in that fight, and that they wouldn't have won without him.[12]
During The Collapse, Barghest killed 70 Moss on her own before getting exhausted due to the Black Dog curse taking effect. She went on to kill at least four more afterward.[16]
Skills[]
Class Skills[]
- Magic Resistance (C Rank): Regardless of class, a Fairy Knight possesses powerful magic resistance.[6]
- Mad Enhancement (A+ Rank): Barghest appears to have no mental abnormalities, but she must prey on a mate on a regular basis. After being assailed by this impulse, if it is not resolved promptly, she will go mad and turn into a Berserker who will slaughter everything indiscriminately, over and over again.[1][6]
Personal Skills[]
- Numeral of the Saint (B Rank): A skill transferred from the Heroic Spirit Gawain of the Proper Human History. In the morning, while the Sun shines down on her, Barghest's basic abilities are drastically increased.[1] Barghest claims that Gawain's "Morning Light", the Numeral of the Saint that gives power during the day, is nothing but a hindrance to a creature of the night like herself.[11][6]
- Wild Rule (C Rank): Proof of being the apex predator of the the Fang Clan. The true power of the Lord of the Black Dogs. One who protects the law of nature and enjoys its blessings. Said rule takes survival of the fittest as its main principle and asserts that it is only natural for the frail race of humans to be dominated.[1] Wielding her own horn as a weapon, the Fairy Sword Galatine chews up the flesh of her opponents and converts it into power for Barghest. With each attack, she recovers HP and ingests the opponent's strengthening buffs, making them her own.[6] She makes use of this ability to devour Ritsuka Fujimaru's Command Spells during the battle at the human farm west of Salisbury.[7]
- Foul Weather (A Rank): An ability acquired by Barghest through one-on-one combat with Foul Weather, a great fairy who lived in Cornwall and is said to have built a cathedral in a single night. A powerful Fae Domain that protects the allied camp.[1] It was acquired out of necessity in order to protect one's base during a certain disaster that caused a large number of carnivorous insects.[6] Barghest states that Sheffield's walls may even surpass this skill, and that even if her army was equipped with Anti-Fortress gear they would likely lose 20% of their men before taking the castle.[10]
- Fairy Knight (A Rank): The divine protection of being chosen as the protector of the Fairy folk. It is a self-buff that is specialized towards Anti-Unit and Anti-Civilization, but it forbids offensive actions against other Fairy Knights and if the possessor kills other Fairy Knights, they will break down.[1]
Noble Phantasm[]
Barghest's Noble Phantasm is Black Dog Galatine. Fairy Knight Gawain is confident she can match the original Galatine carried by Gawain.[4] She used this Noble Phantasm to kill Tristan.[7] She also used Galatine on Sheffield's main gate, burning it down to the tenth layer.[10] It is also powerful enough to kill over 10 large-type Moss if they all gather on a single point, however, they consciously avoid doing so in fear from it.[4]
After Barghest lost her Fairy Knight status, Fairy Knight Lancelot stated that Barghest in her enlarged Fairy Body can fight her on even terms. She also claims that Barghest could defeat the entire Round Table Army on her own.[14]
Other Capabilities[]
Fairy Knight Gawain's Black Dog.
- Fairy Knight Gawain can turn Humans into Black Dogs.[7]
- Fairy Knight Gawain has extremely good eyesight, as shown when she saw Cnoc na Riabh's army from twenty kilometers away.[4]
- Barghest is a really good cook. However, she claims that her simple dishes are a far cry from the gourmet cuisine they serve in Camelot.[13]
Forms and alternate versions[]
Black Dog Barghest[]
Lord Black Dog Barghest (黒犬公バーゲスト?) is Barghest's real form as a Black Dog. When summoned as a Servant, it becomes her final Ascension.
Abilities[]
During The Collapse, Barghest burned down Manchester, completely destroying it. While the walled cities held out, her fire devastated entire forests and plains. The smoke from the fire gathers in the sky forming thunderclouds. She then consumes the lightning they generate as her primary food source, increasing her Magical Energy with every step she takes.[16] Based on her previous battles and performance in Manchester, Jingle Abel Meuniere believes that she can absorb the life force of any Human with low Magic Resistance who gets too close. Her Magical Energy consumption has a one-kilometer radius.[3]
Barghest kicked the Shadow Border like a football.[16] Super Mash claims that Lord Black Dog Barghest is stronger than her Demon Hound counterpart.[3]
Black Dogs are attracted by her presence and follow her all lined up in a procession. According to Captain Nemo, it would take her four to five hours to reach Oxford from Manchester at that pace.[16]
Demon Hound Barghest[]
Demon Hound Barghest (魔犬バーゲスト, localized as Demonic Dog Barghest?) is Barghest's final form as a Calamity.
Appearance[]
Her body is over 40 meters tall and surrounded by red lightning. Gawain and Lancelot compare her to Cath Palug.[3]
Abilities[]
Barghest burned Oxford to the ground. Jingle Abel Meuniere claims that they would need the Storm Border to even stand a chance against a monster like Demon Hound Barghest. However, Mash states that there is nothing to be afraid of, as the previous Barghest was much stronger. To support Mash, Ritsuka Fujimaru stays in the Shadow Border and summons two Shadow Servants remotely from 1 kilometer away. After the two of them get defeated, Fujimaru starts coughing blood from lack of Magical Energy. Meuniere claims that without Fujimaru's support, Mash doesn't stand a chance by herself due to all the Magical Energy Barghest absorbs. Thanks to Fujimaru summoning Gawain and Lancelot, they manage to defeat Barghest in a few minutes.[3]
- Skills
- Shadows that Signal Death (死を告げる影?)
- Noble Phantasm
Demon Hound Barghest's Noble Phantasm is Thundercloud-Eating Barghest (雷食のバーゲスト?).
Swimsuit[]
Abilities[]
- Class Skills
- Magic Resistance (C Rank)
- Mad Enhancement (C Rank): Forming the UDK and becoming its leader, Barghest's predatory impulses have been curbed. Her two pledges to protect the animals inhabiting the forest and to act as a servant of the hotel as well as manage it seems to have suited Barghest's personality surprisingly well.[20]
- Fairy Knight (E Rank): The divine protection of being chosen as a protector of the fae folk. It's a self-strengthening specialized for Anti-Unit and Anti-Civilization, but it forbids attacks against other "Faerie Knights" and a Faerie Knight that kills another Faerie Knight will destroy themselves. ...However, since she has a different oath this time, her oath as a Faerie Knight has weakened.[20]
- Thundercloud Eater (A Rank): An Anti-Calamity skill. The ruler of Black Dogs, Demon Hound Barghest was an Elemental Eater who swallowed thunderclouds to grow, but this time's Barghest utilized that special trait of hers as a Calamity to exhibit a powerful fire-extinguishing ability against the fires occurring in the forest and urban area. When the field is Burning, she possesses a powerful skill that replenishes her Noble Phantasm automatically.[20]
- Personal Skills
- Guardian Knight Union (A Rank): Those who protect the peace of the animal kingdom and fight its threats. Barghest disciplines herself that large creatures should bear a large responsibility, and asserts that animals that are vulnerable as a species are destined to be protected. The "Wild Rule" possessed by her Saber Saint Graph has been altered to suit Summer. With that creed of hers, the skill should be more defensive than offensive, but it has ended up even more offensive than "Wild Rule". "If there is a threat before you, you should start with eliminating it. If you want to protect something, it is only natural to ensure their safety first, right?"[20]
- Queen Keeper (A Rank): The knowledge, etiquette, and ability to be the perfect servant attending to Queen Morgan. The queen's head maid who provides the greatest comfort. Amazing buffs and heals for everyone but herself.[20]
- Strike Weather (B Rank): The demonic black hound that marches through cities and sets them on fire has turned into a white faerie that summons a flash flood to quell the flames. With the enlarging of the faerie's body, the power of the Noble Phantasm is increased and its scope can be picked between "wide area" or "concentrated". "Wide area" is an AoE hosing of an even larger area to extinguish fires, while "concentrated" is a ST hosing that can extinguish the fires of any building regardless of how massive they are by increasing the water pressure. However, using the skill grants her the "Super Large" trait, which is quite troubling since it increases the number of weak points.[20]
- I Can Make The Replacement In Time (D++ Rank)
- Noble Phantasm
UDK Barghest's Noble Phantasm is Watersave Galatine.
Development[]
Creation and Conception[]
Barghest was designed by MELON22 in Fate/Grand Order. Her scenario writer is Kinoko Nasu in Fate/Grand Order.[6]
Comment from illustrator[]
"Since her setting was of a "character that is actually kind and easily cries", my initial design had her with kinder eyes. However, seeing those, Nasu-sensei replied with "Your specialty is lowering the bond level of female Servants with a piercing gaze by talking to them, right? I'm good at that too. Well then, please give back that feeling in the design." I made the adjustments in high spirits. And that is how the Faerie Knight with a sharp gaze was born." (MELON22)[6]
