Caster (キャスター, Kyasutā?) is a Caster-class Servant summoned by Ritsuka Fujimaru in the Grand Orders of Fate/Grand Order.
Profile
Identity
Caster's True Name is AsclepiusWP (アスクレピオスWP, Asukurepiosu?) is a hero of Greek myth who studied under Chiron and later became known as the “God of Medicine”. He was also a member of the Argonauts led by Jason. Being a child of Apollo, he eventually gained the power to resurrect the dead, which was viewed as a problem, and thus he was struck down by godly thunder. Apollo consorted with a woman named Coronis and sired a son.
However, a crow spoke to him of her infidelity (a lie it had made up), and in his rage, he killed her and changed the formerly white wings of the crow to black. But Apollo, regretting having killed Coronis, took the child (Asclepius) from her body which was on the verge of cremation, and entrusted him to the wise centaur Chiron to raise.
Asclepius studied medicine and hunting under Chiron, but eventually became more talented in medicine than him.
The healing art that came from the blood of Gorgon given by Athena gave rise to the medicine that was able to resuscitate the dead. However, if one is able to overcome death, the inherent value of the realm of the underworld becomes lost.
Feeling a sense of impending crisis, the God of the Underworld, Hades, went to Zeus to request a favor (as Asclepius was a child of Apollo and he could not interfere directly), and Zeus struck him down with a bolt of lightning. In order to quell the anger of Apollo, whose son was killed, Zeus pulled the dead Asclepius up into the seat of a god (Ophiuchus).

Abilities
Caster's Noble Phantasm is Resurrection Fraught Hades.
Caster primarily commmands his mechanical snake, Aesculapius, to attack his enemies. It is capable of changing its size, duplicating itself, and spewing deadly mist. Casterr himself usess his surgical knives like daggers; dual-wielding or throwing them with manipulated trajectory. He can also manipulate his staff.
Indian Lostbelt
When he was summoned to the Indian Lostbelt and his master was God Arjuna, Caster was given a small fraction of the Amalgam God's divinity and divine authority of one of the many Indian Gods he was merged with as one of his Lokapala. With the god in question being Yama the Indian God of Death and the Underworld, effectively granting him the power to create hordes of undead armies for him to call upon and command. Caster has also displayed the ability to freely restore his undead no matter how much their bodies are destroyed or ravaged during battle, effectively granting him a near inexhaustible army.
After his first confrontation against Chaldea, Caster was once again given another Divine Authority in order to further empower himself by God Arjuna. With the Divinity being the Vedic God,Varuna, who is associated with Water,Rain and Medicine, Greatly amplifying and enhancing all of Caster's abilities and powers due to him being more more compatible with this God than Yama due to him also being associated with Medicine and Water.
With this new divinity, Caster was now granted a degree of water based healing powers, as seen where he was able to instantly heal hordes of Kali beasts, increase their powers and manipulate them biologically to merge them together as a single monster by creating a water ripple like effect.
However unlike Yama, Caster was shown to mainly access this newfound power via a special item or tool in order to use Varuna's divine authority due to already being given the divinity of Yama and even then the sheer power of him now hosting two Gods, rapidly caused Caster's body to slowly be destroyed from the immense power and strain it took to contain both of the God's divinity's.
