Celenike Icecolle Yggdmillennia (セレニケ・アイスコル・ユグドミレニア, Serenike Aisukoru Yugudomirenia?) is the Master of Rider of Black in the Great Holy Grail War of Fate/Apocrypha.
Profile[]
Background[]
She was born in the Icecolle family, a fairly old bloodline of practitioners of the dark arts. The Icecolle were forced on the run by the devastating witch hunts of the Middle Ages. They escaped from western Europe all the way to Siberia, they lost the foundation of their thaumaturgy and eventually fell into decline. Celenike was the first child to be born of the decaying bloodline in a long time. Her elders, who devoted their lives to perfecting the dark arts, doted upon her and poured every teaching they had into her.[2]
Celenike became a member of a Romanian organization called Yggdmillennia. Celenike obtained a glass bottle with a liquid stain in it for the Great Holy Grail War.
Appearance[]
Celenike is 26 years old during in the Great Holy Grail War.[1] A cruel female magus who possesses a clever-looking beautiful face. Despite seeming to have a clear-cut appearance, her entire body reeks of blood due to acts such as kissing the innards used in her rituals.[3] The stench of death that follows her is far too thick. She has probably been covered in blood and gore since she was born. She can use perfumes and wash herself from the smell of it, but death itself will never leave her.[2]
Personality[]
A sadistic female Magus who runs a business killing others with curses. The only Yggdmillennia scion to place her own benefit above that of the clan. Celenike also had the most vindictive personality among the Yggdmillennia clan.[4]
To Celenike, who was raised and doted upon by the old female Magi who practiced the dark arts, patience and self‐control were the same things as torture. She could only maintain self‐control with things regarding Magecraft.[4]
To her, the homunculus was already nothing more than an annoying pest. The kind of bug that one had to search for through even the roots of grass and eradicate.[4]
She is surprisingly well versed with technology, and has tried to curse people to death on the computer through the electronic network.[4][5]
Role[]
Fate/Apocrypha[]
Beginning Stages of the War[]
Celenike punishing Astolfo.
Celenike summons Rider of Black with a glass bottle containing stains left by some kind of liquid as a catalyst in a multiple Servant summoning. After being displeased by Gordes' refusal to reveal Saber of Black's name and his subsequent haughty attitude, she decides to give Rider a tour of the castle. Though his appearance is contrary to the legends, his body-type fits her tastes exactly, causing Celenike to use Rider for her own sadistic pleasure, though Rider is not bothered by this.
After Rider helps a homunculus, later named Sieg, to escape with the help of Ruler, Celenike "punishes" him, although Rider is more bored than tormented.
Battle At Castle Yggdmillennia[]
During the final stages of the battle between the Red and Black Factions, Celenike appears on the battlefield, confronting Rider and Sieg. Enraged by Rider showing care towards Sieg, she uses her Command Spells to force Rider to attack Sieg, with Rider barely being able to resist. Before Celenike can use her final Command Spell to force Rider to kill Sieg, she was decapitated by Saber of Red, who kills her simply due to disdain towards her.
Fate/school life[]
In Volume 10, she met Manaka Sajyou who had traveled to Romania and became good friends, and they are apparently responsible for an explosion that occured in Romania, with Ayaka Sajyou traveling there to deal with her sister and Celenike.
Abilities[]
Celenike is an outstanding practitioner of dark arts, rituals involving using the innards of beasts and humans for sacrifices. The dark arts require a particular disposition, namely, one who would not hesitate to pull apart living sacrifices. One who would not falter at supplications until the required amount of suffering—from the offspring of beast and man, excellent human beings and kind animals, old men and old pets, the pregnant and the unborn—had been reached. When she offered her sacrifices, her iron will suppressed all emotions and allowed her to perform any amount of heinous rituals. She was taught to present herself externally, and control herself internally. For only a failure would lose oneself in the joy of the slaughter. Because of her status as a dark arts practitioner, she can sense hostility directed towards her.[2]
With her Witchcraft, Celenike is able to create dark stains that cause vertigo and nausea when one enters in contact with them. She also possesses an old-looking nail, likely some Mystic Code, which gives agonizing pain throughout one's body should even just one part of the body be impaled by it.[2]
She has abundant knowledge of the modern era and has even tried to curse people to death on the computer through the electronic network.[4][5]
Development[]
Reception[]
Yuuichirou Higashide hinted that Eiichirou Mashin (Author of Fate/school life) is a fan of Celenike and he apologizes for her death.[5]
Fate/strange Fake's writer Ryohgo Narita has also mentioned on Twitter that Celenike exists in the World of Fate/strange Fake, but since she won't appear, it's just meaningless teasing.[6]

I’m sorry, Mr. Mashin. (TL Note: This is the author of the manga “Fate/school life”. This is most likely referencing how Mashin is known to be a fan of Celenike and apologizing for how she died.)
…One of the Masters of the Black Camp. She is a magus of cursing techniques who curses her enemies to death. She has great skill, but she fails in terms of personality. She also possesses abundant knowledge of the modern era and has even tried to curse people to death on the computer through the electronic network.
In the Icecolle family’s dark arts rituals, it is the one that kills the sacrifice rather than the sacrifices themselves that must fall into a trance state. They always watch and deal with the other person with ice-cold eyes. It is the same as taking a solemn attitude towards the lives of living creatures when cooking meat.
It is the correct way to act when facing those who will become sacrifices—at the very least, the Icecolle family teaches this doctrine.
But still, perhaps they sacrificed too many people. Gradually, the thread of curses binding the Icecolle family became too thick and strong, and the additional factor of them moving their territory caused them to suddenly decline. Though the other members of the Icecolle family noticed Celenike’s distortion, they chose to shut their eyes to her sadistic hobbies due to her rare talent.
That pampering became the underlying cause that led her to prioritize her personal desire in the midst of the Great Holy Grail War and meet a tragic end… Well, she serves as an example that shows how magi who mistake the objective of their training end up like this. Or perhaps the sacrifices that the Icecolle family had killed until then had aimed to balance accounts in this way.
There are two flaws to cursing someone. No matter how well you curse someone to death without exposing your actions—that curse will eventually rain down upon the curser on a whim. Celenike just happened to receive the backlash this time.セレニケ・アイスコル・ユグドミレニア【人名】
