Hephaestion Mnemosyne (ヘファイスティオン・ムネーモシュネー, Hefaisution Munēmoshunē?), Class Name Pretender (プリテンダー, Puritendā?), is a Pretender-class Servant summoned by Ritsuka Fujimaru in the Grand Orders of Fate/Grand Order. Prior to her True Name Deposition as a Pretender, she possesses the True Name Hephaestion (ヘファイスティオン, Hefaisution?). She originates from Lord El-Melloi II Case Files.[5][6]
Profile[]
Identity[]
The Shadow as a child
Never named at birth, the Servant lacks a proper True Name as a Heroic Spirit, but she is referred to as "Iskandar's Shadow," "Hephaestion," and "Faker" depending on circumstances. From her summoning as a Faker-class Servant, the Class Name can be said to be the first name she ever received,[7] so she has a preference for it.[3] She was the younger twin sister of the real Hephaestion, one of the generals serving under Alexander the Great. Her birth was orchestrated by Olympias, Iskandar's mother. She required a confidant for her son who would protect and never betray the King of Conquerors, and a mage who would defend the king from any oncoming curse. The former became the real Hephaestion, and the latter, her.[8][3]
She originally served as the queen's chaperone.[9] Olympias wished she remained caged up in a temple, repeating the same prayers over and over again so she could become a priestess of Dionysus. MiezaWP, the "Shrine of the Nymphs", the school of the philosopher AristotleWP she attended alongside Iskandar and his future generals, was the only place she could call home. She only learned half of what the others did, but she loved spending her time watching the clouds.[10]
She was not just a magus, but Iskandar's "Magical Shadow", as it may be hard to imagine her as a body double for a man like Iskandar who was over two meters tall. Because she had no name, she was able to magically impersonate Iskandar and draw in all kinds of curses.[7][3] She was taught from a young age by Olympias, to act as a mage, body-double and confidant to Iskandar, and also acted for her brother at times. Combined with spreading rumors of Iskandar's appearance as based on her own, so distinctly different from his, she was the ideal vessel to receive any curses directed towards Iskandar.
Not accepting these near inhumane circumstances, Iskandar attempted numerous times to give her a proper name and identity,[5][6] all of which she vehemently refused due to her loyalty to him and her desire to continue serving him as his "Shadow". Since giving her a name would weaken the spells redirecting curses from him to her she rejected each time. Not only that, but for the sake of protecting Iskandar from various forms of curses and magecraft, she developed numerous counter-intelligence schemes. That is why the descriptions left behind about Iskandar don’t match the appearance of the Servant Iskandar at all.[7]
Eumenes and CleitusWP always shunned her because they were skeptical of magecraft.[10] She and Hephaestion were both already dead by the time Iskandar died.[11]
Because of her own hatred toward Iskandar's army, she refuses the call whenever Iskandar uses Ionioi Hetairoi despite being qualified. In Lady Reines's Case Files: Plus Episode, Faker's Saint Graph has mixed with a fragment of Mnemosyne. While the percentage of Mnemosyne in her is minimal, it changed her, and as a result, she gained the Pretender Class and her parameters and Skills partially altered.[12]
Appearance[]
Faker wears an outfit extremely similar to that of Alexander as a child. She has heterochomatic eyes, with one appearing to be a very pale grey with a slight goldish tint, while the other is blue. When Faker uses her Mystic Eyes, both eyes glow orange.

Personality[]
Faker appears as a haughty young woman, citing herself as the primary confidant of Iskandar, and bears a dislike for Lord El-Melloi II. She grows angered when he refers to himself as Iskandar's subject, claiming to be disgusted because he has no qualifications to be so. She considers him to be similar to Eumenes.[13] A Magus from the ever-enchanted Age of Gods who is infinitely loyal to Iskandar, yet hates the king and his army more than anyone else.[3]
Despite her loyalty, she resents Iskandar for never letting go of his dream to see Okeanos, believing he knew it was not real but still desired to seek it out. This eventually caused her to harbor a certain level of contempt for his army and her fellow subjects who unquestionably followed his dream, despite the revelation of the truth that there was no sea at the end of the world. Her absence from Ionioi Hetairoi is due to her opinion on the army after the Wars of the DiadochiWP. When Iskandar activates his Noble Phantasm the spirit of Iskandar's Shadow hears the call, in the process of being summoned she is given knowledge of events after her death and learns about the Wars of the Diadochi, and then she rejects the summoning before it is completed.[7]
After Gray absorbs some of her Magical Energy, she becomes impressed enough to show off her Mystic Eyes of Compulsion. At the same time, her warrior's pride compels her to rescue Gray from an avalanche, stating that "Warriors should die on the battlefield."
As a servant of Dionysus the god of wine, she regularly outdrank other members Iskandar's army.[7] She had a poor relationship with the other retainers of Iskandar, which caused problems for her brother as he tried to find a way to mend those relationships.[14]
In addition, the reason she rejects the summons of the Ionioi Hetairoi comes from the following flow of events. "She is called by Iskandar" ⮕ "Immediately before being summoned, she is given the fundamental knowledge from the world about the Wars of the Diadochi" ⮕ "Before the summoning is completed, she rejects it." A summoned Heroic Spirit, if not from the Holy Grail then from the World itself, receives knowledge about the present era. In the case of Ionian Hetairoi, it is the latter that provides the information.[7]
Just as she said during the story, "Being a warrior is a question of both body, mind, and spirit." Her love of battle and the skills that saw her through numerous battlefields made it possible for her and Heartless to break through the Spiritual Tomb of Albion alone. Despite how much of a mismatched pair the two of them may seem, her partnership with Heartless is one she finds unexpectedly comfortable. Though it was never discussed in detail, the way Heartless’ life changed after being betrayed by his students and her unwillingness to forgive the betrayal she suffered in the Wars of the Diadochi demonstrated a clear unity of values between them.[7]
Relationships[]
- Iskandar
- "Lord...Iskandar... Apologies. I ask that you not ask me to face the King of Conquerors. Why? Partly because I am ashamed to meet him, even if he has forgiven me. But one day, I shall..."[15]
- Her one and only king. A scorching passion that will never fade, even at the end of time.[4]
- Alexander
- "I don't believe this... I never imagined I'd ever get a chance to meet the King of Conquerors at that age... Now hold on, Alexander! That's enough of the Protection of Zeus for now!"[15]
- "If Zeus’ Divine Blessings were to be cut off... no, forget it."[4]
- Olympias
- "You... There are so many things I want to ask you. But I think it’s better for both of us to leave it be."[4]
- Hephaestion (True)
- "My brother likely still perceives me as a mere child, not even ten years old."[4]
- Ptolemaios
- "He came out on top? Ugh, just hearing that makes me sick! But I guess it's no surprise. He's always been one to succeed."[4]
- Lord El-Melloi II
- "I didn't think it was true, but I see that perverse Lord is here too. He looks pissy, as usual. Be careful. A man like that is the sort likely to stir up trouble for the whole world."[15]
- "Gloomy. Scrawny. Cheap. Despite appearing to have endured such hardship, he’s the ultimate troublemaker, a veritable plague. Reminds me of that secretary. I wish he’d simply vanish."[4]
- Doctor Heartless
- "I’ve always been thankful towards that heartless mage. He granted me a name without naming me."[4]
- Reines
- "The successor for the Department of Modern Magecraft? Come on now, there's too many of those in Chaldea! ...You're not going to tell me the Grand Puppeteer's here too, are you!?"[15]
- Gray
- "Gray? I didn't think she would be here in Chaldea too. Well then, I'll put her through some training. I've always thought she had the potential to become a good warrior."[15]
- "Promising. I'd like to handle her training myself. Also, she should sever her ties with her stubborn master as soon as possible."[4]
- Melusine
- "Albion? You're THAT Albion? How is it possible for a giant labyrinth I once traveled through to turn into a Fairy Knight? Oh, I see... I guess that would make it possible..."[15]
- Leonardo da Vinci
- "Ah, so you're Da Vinci... No, don't worry about it. But...yeah... All I want to say is that I wish you good health as long as fate allows."[15]
- EMIYA
- "The name EMIYA does ring a bell to me. The circumstances may be different, but you were called Faker at one point too."[15]
- Pretender Servants
- "I see...so that's what the other Pretender is like..."[15]
Role[]
Fate/Grand Order[]
Lady Reines's Case Files: Plus Episode[]
While Ritsuka Fujimaru's body is going through the Patchwork London Singularity, a physical embodiment of their memories wakes up aboard the Rail Zeppelin along with Faker, who was able to retain her memories of when Doctor Heartless summoned her as a result of being integrated with a part of Mnemosyne's systems. Together Fujimaru and Faker make their way through the train while figuring out what brought them there.
Abilities[]
As she didn't leave behind any anecdotal stories in history, her status as a Servant is rather weak, but she still boasts a considerable and comprehensive combat ability. This results not just from having powerful skills or Noble Phantasms, but from the wide variety of physical and magical options available to her in combat, and her ability to keenly recognize which of those options is optimal for each situation.[7]
Her main armament is a short sword akin to Iskandar's spatha, but with two horns curving off the hilt, and she shows the strength and skill to overpower Gray. In her Second Ascension, she uses a staff to cast spells. The staff appears to be a thyrsusWP, which are associated with DionysusWP. In her Third Ascension, Faker uses a long sword as her primary armament.
Mystic Eyes of Compulsion.
Faker possesses Noble Colours rank Mystic Eyes of Compulsion (強制の魔眼, Kyōsei no Magan?), which give her the ability to forcibly take control of her target's body against their will and can even compel them to speak the truth. It causes the victim physical and mental strain as they are still conscious of their actions.
Faker has also displayed a level of skill in using magecraft and spellcraft, as seen in her attempts to use several offensive spells against Gray. Her magical energy takes the color of vibrant red lightning similar to Iskandar's blue. The DionysusWP that Faker references normally corresponds to the god of wine BacchusWP, but the magecraft she uses actually points to the maddened Zeus himself. In short, an omnipotent god gone mad. Abandoning reason and embracing infinite chaos is truly suitable as a source for magecraft.[7] As Dionysus is a god of alcohol, and alcohol is closely tied to dreams, Faker is able to look into others' dreams with her magecraft.[11] The lineage of her magecraft can be traced back to Hecate, giving Faker a loose connection to Medea and Circe who also use spells derived from Hecate.[16]
In Fate/Grand Order, her Saint Graph is mixed with Mnemosyne, the Autonomous Observational Existence Verification System built by Chaldea. The percentage of Mnemosyne in her is derisory, but due to that, she gained the Pretender Class, and had her parameters and Skills partially altered.[12]
Skills[]
Class Skills[]
- Independent Action (B (EX) Rank): It is possible for a Servant to stay in the world for two days without a Master. However, this is the ideal value achieved by maximally conserving mana and avoiding battle and Noble Phantasm usage.[2]
- Camouflage (B Rank): At B Rank, it is possible to fool an opponent by appearing as another Class or with different parameters.[2]
- Territory Creation (EX Rank): A Skill she only has in Fate/Grand Order. Mnemosyne's Skill. Due to being an Autonomous Observational Existence Verification System, she's practically a type of workshop, in a sense. Hephaestion mixed with Mnemosyne can operate this "workshop's" features inside herself.[12]
- Oblivion Nullification (EX Rank): A Skill she only has in Fate/Grand Order. Mnemosyne's Skill. A Skill mostly similar to Oblivion Correction. The system named after the memory goddess Mnemosyne enables her to almost perfectly carry over her memories from previous summons, although this feature is limited to when she's summoned by the Chaldea summoning system.[12]
Personal Skills[]
- For He Is Another Iskandar (Fake) (A Rank): Allows Faker to imitate Iskandar's Noble Phantasms and Skills as his body double. Copied Skills are dropped by one rank, but it is possible to slightly change their function.[2][7][3]
- High-Speed Divine Words (B Rank): As a sorceress from the Age of the Gods, she is able to cast greater magecraft with this spell.[2][3]
- Blessing of the Nameless (EX Rank): Whether by sword, Magecraft, or curse, she can take the damage in place of someone she recognizes as her Master. The damage can also be mitigated if the correct measures are taken.[2][3]
- Mystic Eyes of Compulsion (B Rank): Noble Colours. Possesses a Mystic Eyes that can force others to follow orders.[4]
Noble Phantasm[]
Iskandar's Shadow possesses the Noble Phantasm Hecatic Wheel, similar to Alexander's Gordius Wheel, drawn by two skeleton Wyverns rather than Divine Bulls. It is a lower rank than Gordius Wheel, but through the use of her Skill For He Is Another Iskandar (Fake) she is able to give her chariot functions that Gordius Wheel did not have, such as an autopilot.[16][2]
Faker also possesses Ionioi Hetairoi through the use of her Skill For He Is Another Iskandar (Fake), though because she normally rejects the army in its entirety she does not use it and in fact never thought of the idea. But with the experiences she gained through her summoning under the Faker class - where she manifested Ionioi Hetairoi after being transformed into Divine Spirit Iskandar[17] - which she remembers due to Mnemosyne's ability to keep those memories between summonings, this gives her inspiration to manifest the Noble Phantasm via her For He Is Another Iskandar (Fake) Skill and the ability of the Pretender class to disguise her True Name and class as Iskandar. The total time it can be manifested is only a few minutes, and only a fraction of the full army is manifested, being comprised of just foot soldiers willing to obey her, and they all have contribute to help maintain the bounded field. Notable figures such as Hephaestion, Eumenes, and Ptolemy cannot be found within the army, but she does summon Iskandar himself. As she is forcibly manifesting it, it burns out her Saint Graph.[18]
Development[]
Creation and Conception[]
Hephaestion Mnemosyne was illustrated by Mineji Sakamoto in Fate/Grand Order. Her scenario writer is Makoto Sanda in Fate/Grand Order.[4]
Concept art in Lord El-Melloi II Case Files material reveals that at one point she was going to have blonde hair.
Comment from Illustrator[]
I considered the novel’s design (Ascension 1) to be complete, so coming up with something new was quite the challenge. (Mineji Sakamoto)[4]

An Extra class created by Heartless in order to summon imposters and body doubles.
Within the story of Case Files, it refers to Iskandar’s body double, who ignores the Ionian Hetairoi. Her Personal Skill “He is Another Iskandar (Fake)” grants her some of Iskandar’s Personal Skills, as well as a distorted version of the Noble Phantasm Gordius Wheel, a sight that shook El-Melloi II to his core on their first meeting.
Her true identity is that of Hephaestion’s younger twin sister, born at the behest of the King of Conquerer’s mother Olympias, to protect him for his entire life.
Though it may be hard to imagine her as a body double for a man like Iskandar who was over two meters tall, her role as a body double was a magical one.
As such, she had no name.
After separating from Olympias, Iskandar tried to give her one numerous times. Since doing so would weaken the spells redirecting curses from him to her, however, she rejected each time. Not only that, but for the sake of protecting Iskandar from various forms of curses and magecraft, she developed numerous counter-intelligence schemes. That is why the descriptions left behind about Iskandar don’t match the appearance of the Servant Iskandar at all.
The Class name of Faker is, in a way, the first name she ever received.
As she didn’t leave behind any anecdotal stories in history, her status as a Servant is rather weak, but she still boasts a considerable and comprehensive combat ability. This results not just from having powerful skills or Noble Phantasms, but from the wide variety of physical and magical options available to her in combat, and her ability to keenly recognize which of those options is optimal for each situation.
Just as she said during the story, “Being a warrior is a question of both body, mind, and spirit.” Her love of battle and the skills that saw her through numerous battlefields made it possible for her and Heartless to break through the Spiritual Tomb of Albion alone.
Despite how much of a mismatched pair the two of them may seem, her partnership with Heartless is one she finds unexpectedly comfortable.
Though it was never discussed in detail, the way Heartless’ life changed after being betrayed by his students and her unwillingness to forgive the betrayal she suffered in the Wars of the Diadochi demonstrated a clear unity of values betwen them.
◆
The Dionysus that Faker references normally corresponds to the god of wine Bacchus, but the magecraft she uses actually points to the maddened Zeus himself. In short, an omnipotent god gone mad. Abandoning reason and embracing infinite chaos is truly suitable as a source for magecraft.
Of course, as one who serves the god of wine, nevermind Iskandar, she regularly drank all of his close friends and advisors under the table.
In addition, the reason she rejects the summons of the Ionian Hetairoi comes from the following flow of events. “She is called by Iskandar” ⮕ “Immediately before being summoned, she is given the fundamental knowledge from the world about the Wars of the Diadochi” ⮕ “Before the summoning is completed, she rejects it.” A summoned Heroic Spirit, if not from the Holy Grail then from the World itself, receives knowledge about the present era. In the case of Ionian Hetairoi, it is the latter that provides the information.
Were she to be summoned again as a Servant, as usual she would forget everything that happened during the course of these incidents. But what if she were summoned as part of the Army of the King? What if she were summoned in a Singularity that ignored the correct chronology of history, or by a system completely different than the one set up in Fuyuki?
The answer will remain a mystery until such an event occurs.フェイカー【サーヴァント】
影武者や偽物を呼び出すための、ハートレスがつくりだしたエクストラクラス。
事件簿本編では、『王の軍勢』を無視する、イスカンダルの影武者をさす。固有スキル「彼もまたイスカンダルなのだから」（偽）によって、イスカンダルのいくつかのスキルと、宝具・神威の車輪を変則的に模倣した彼女は、出会った頃のII世を精神的に大きく揺さぶった。
その出自は、征服王イスカンダルの母・オリュンピアスによって、生涯イスカンダルを守護すベく製造された、ヘファイスティオンの双子の妹。
影武者といいつつ、ニメートルを超える偉丈夫イスカンダルと似ても似つかないのは、彼女が魔術的な影武者であるため。
よって、彼女は名前を持たない。
オリュンピアスと離れた後、イスカンダルは何度も名を与えようとしていたのだが、そうなればイスカンダルを狙った呪いを引きつける術式は衰えるため、毎回彼女は固辞していた。そればかりではなく、イスカンダルを狙った各種の呪いや魔術を防ぐため、数々の情報工作も講じていた。後世に残ったイスカンダルの姿が、サーヴァント・イスカンダルと一致しないのはこれによるものである。
フェイカーというクラス名は、ある意味で彼女が初めて得た名前にも等しかったのだ。
人類史にまともに刻まれた逸話をもたない彼女は、サーヴァントとしての格は高くないものの、総合的にはかなり高い戦闘能力を保持している。これは単なるスキルや宝具だけの問題ではなく、魔術や白兵など戦闘で取れる選択肢の多さと、その中から最適解を選び出す嗅覚の鋭さのゆえだ。
彼女が作中ロにした通り、「戦士たるとは肉体と意志と魂すベての問題だ」ということになろう。戦闘を楽しみ、自分の持つ能力で数々の戦場を突破してきた彼女だからこそ、霊墓アルビオンをハートレスとふたりきりで突破することを可能としたのだ。
ハートレスとのコンビは、まるで不似合いのようでいて、彼女には存外心地よかった。
詳しい事情こそはっきり語らなかったものの、弟子の裏切りによって人生を変えられたハートレスと、後継者戦争による裏切りが許せなかった彼女は、価値観の底が一致していたのだろう。
◆
彼女が奉じるディオニュソスは、いわゆる酒神バッカスに相当する神性だが、フェイカーの扱う魔術においてはむしろ狂気に陥ったゼウス本人をさす。つまり、それは万能にして狂気なる神だ。理性を打ち捨てた無限の混沌こそは、魔術の源としてふさわしい。
当然、酒の神を奉ずる彼女もまた大変な酒豪で、あのイスカンダルはおろか、酒飲みにおいてはその腹心全員を何度となく負かしたことがあるとか。
なお、彼女が『王の軍勢』を拒否していた流れは、「イスカンダルに呼ばれる」⮕「召喚直前、世界に後継者戦争などの基礎知識を与えられる」⮕「召喚が完全成立する前に拒否」という順番になる。召喚された英霊は、聖杯ないし世界からその時代の知識を与えられるのだが、『王の軍勢』に呼ばれた英霊は後者となるためだ。
今回の事件で起きたことも、再びサーヴァントとして召喚された彼女は当然忘れているはずだ。しかし、固有結界である王の軍勢に召喚された場合は？そんな時系列を無視するような特異点、はたまた冬木のそれとまったく異なる召喚形式で呼ばれた場合は？
答えは、そのときになるまで分からない。 - ↑ Lord El-Melloi II Case Files Volume 5: case. Mystic Eyes collection train (Lower) - Chapter 5 Part 2

[] Lord El-Melloi II Case Files material - Encyclopedia: Hephaestion [Person], p.108 Hephaestion [Person]
Faker’s older brother. The true Hephaestion.
Iskandar’s closest friend…though he didn’t think so himself.
While his sister spread such information around, Hephaestion was aware that was simply counter-intelligence. Hephaestion was inserted at Iskandar’s side so as, even if only a little, to reduce the chance of him being attacked.
His sister’s relationship with Iskandar’s other retainers was rather poor, a daily pain in Hephaestion’s stomach as he tried to find a way to mend those relationships. If alive today, he would no doubt be accused of having a siscon streak in him. In a way, one could say that fear became accurate after his death.
At any rate, when Hephaestion was summoned by Iskandar’s Noble Phantasm Ionian Hetairoi, he was the first to notice his sister’s absence.
If summoned as a Servant, he would gain a number of Iskandar’s Skills and Noble Phantasms from his own Personal Skill, “He is Another Iskandar (True).” The difference between his version and his sister’s “Fake” version of the skill is that his version does not copy the acquired abilities at a reduced rank. Conversely, it would be difficult to use them in the ways Faker does.ヘファイスティオン【人名】
フェイカーの兄。真なるヘファイスティオン。
イスカンダル第一の腹心……とは本人は考えていない。
妹はそういうふうに喧伝しているが、あれはむしろ情報工作の類だと、ヘファイスティオンは認識している。イスカンダルの側には、常にヘファイスティオンありと刷り込ませることで、少しでも襲撃を減らそうというものだ。
妹がほかのイスカンダルの家臣と折り合いが良くないことについて、なんとか解決できないかと日頃胃を痛めていた。現代であれば、シスコンの気があると言われたことだろう。ある意味でその懸念は死後にあたったと言えるかもしれない。
なにしろ、イスカンダルの宝具・王の軍勢で呼ばれたとき、妹がいないことに真っ先に気づくのは彼なのだから。
サーヴァントとして召喚された場合、イスカンダルの一部スキルと宝具を借り受ける固有スキル「彼もまたイスカンダルなのだから」（真）を保持することとなる。妹が持つ同名スキル（偽）との違いはランク減少が起きないこと。逆に、フェイカーのような応用は難しい。 - ↑ 15.0 15.1 15.2 15.3 15.4 15.5 15.6 15.7 15.8 Fate/Grand Order Lines

Originally, the Noble Phantasm of Iskandar, Gordius Wheel.
Due to the skill “He is Another Iskandar (Fake)” that Faker possesses, she has also gained this Noble Phantasm. However, while Iskandar’s chariot is pulled by a pair of divine bulls, hers is pulled by magically animated bone dragons.
Compared to the original Gordius Wheel, it’s Rank and power have diminished considerably, but in exchange it is capable of many more things. One is the autopilot feature shown in Grand Roll. In addition, if Faker pours her own magical energy into it, it is capable of exhibiting a level of power similar to the original Gordius Wheel.
The name “Hecatic” is derived from the goddess Hecate, from whom Faker’s lineage of magecraft from the Age of Gods finds its source. Though faint, there is some connection to the Caster of the Fifth Holy Grail War.魔天の車輪【宝具】
もともとは、英霊イスカンダルの宝具・神威の車輪。
フェイカーは、固有スキル「彼もまたイスカンダルなのだから」（偽）によって、この宝具を取得している。ただし、イスカンダルの場合と違い、神獣である雄牛ではなく、魔術による骨竜で戦車を牽引する。
本来の神威の車輪より、ランクと威力はやや下がるが、代わりにできるようになったことも多い。冠位決議編で見せた自動制御などはそのひとつ。また、一瞬の威力だけであれば、フェイ力ーの魔力を過剰に注ぎ込むことによって、本来の神威の車輪に匹敵させることも可能。
ヘカティックとついているのは、フェイカーの扱う神代魔術の系統がヘカテを源流としているため。第五次聖杯戦争に登場するキヤスターとの、ごく淡い縁である。 - ↑ Lord El-Melloi II's Case Files Volume 10: case. Grand Roll (Lower) - Chapter 5 Part 6
