Caster (キャスター, Kyasutā?), True Name unknown, is a Caster-class Servant summoned alongside Assassin as the two Servants of Joanne Mellisell in the Doubles Subcategory Holy Grail War of Fate:Lost Einherjar.
Profile[]
Identity[]
Currently Caster's True Name is unknown, but her familiar is of Slavic origin,[1] meaning she is likely Slavic as well.
Appearance[]
Caster appears to be an old woman, an enchantress, and a young girl all at once. She wields a long gnarled staff in one hand. Her left leg has been replaced with a magical tool, and a towering shadow with an eerie glow trails behind her.[2]
Personality[]
Role[]
Fate:Lost Einherjar[]
Caster sent familiars into Oslo at the start of the Doubles Subcategory Holy Grail War, one of which was encountered by Berserker.[1] Assassin and Caster observed the battle between Archer, Berserker, Lancer, and Rider, concealed by the trees of the forest that the fight took place in. Caster found something very amusing about Berserker's presence, and wondered if it was the work of Odin or the Norns.[2]
Abilities[]
Caster has a Lešij as a familiar.[3] It is a three meter tall humanoid shadow, with floor-length hair and wearing the wind like a bounded field. It can run along walls at over 500 kilometers per hour, and its sharp claws can cut through flesh and bone.[1]

Forest apparitions or spirits from Slavic folklore. Known for their diverse forms, they possess the ability to alter their size, shapeshift, and manipulate the wind. They enjoy pranks and sometimes abduct women and girls. Some legends claim they take the spirits of the deceased girls they ruin as wives. While ancient, higher-ranking entities may be revered as forest guardians and classified as elementals in the Clock Tower's taxonomy, the individual encountered in this story was of a lower or middle rank.
Summoned as a Caster spirit, it was granted a makeshift Saint Graph composed of shadows and was patrolling the perimeter when it encountered Berserker. Mistaking Berserker for a mere human, it was obliterated with a single swing of an axe. It should be noted that it did not lack the ability to sense magical energy. In fact, it was rather skilled in this regard...レーシイ Lešij

太古の性質を維持した上位個体であれば、 森の守り神とされ、時計塔に於ける分類で 言うところの精霊と指定される可能性もなくはないが、 本作に登場した個体は低位な いし中位のものであった。

むしろ感知には長けた個体であったのだが......?
