Iskandar (イスカンダル, Isukandaru?), Class Name Rider (ライダー, Raidā?), is the Rider-class Servant of Waver Velvet in the Fourth Holy Grail War of Fate/Zero. He is summoned by Ritsuka Fujimaru in the Grand Orders of Fate/Grand Order.
Profile[]
Identity[]
Alexander the Great, the King of Conquerors (征服王, Seifuku-Ō?), summoned as the adult aspect known by the name Iskandar (イスカンダル, Isukandaru?) rather than the youthful aspect known as Alexander. Known by many names, Alexander, Iskandar, Alexandros, Dhul-Qarnayn, and "he of the two horns," he was the young prince of the small kingdom of Macedonia in the 4th Century BC. Due to the influence of his mother Olympias, as a child he indulged in many tales of legendary heroes and came to believe he was the son of Zeus,[5] despite there being an absence of clear evidence.[1][10][11] He was known as a "peerless pretty boy" who was noticed by many sages, such as AristotleWP, as a prodigy. During this period of his life, he spent much of his time training as a soldier, studying philosophy and political sciences, and reading great legends. While he bloomed with many talents, he approved of every and all possibilities, able to be called the "personification of possibilities" itself.[10] He possessed a close friend, an "amazing man" who truly began to show his talents after Alexander's death, who would often drag him around rambunctiously in a manner to his later encounter with Taiga Fujimura, expanding Alexander's horizons thanks to his actions.[12] Though considered beautiful, his self-recognition in being the child of Zeus granted him strength, reducing his boyish looks over time.[10] He later encountered the Gordian KnotWP, cleaving the rope with his sword and taking the divine bulls offered to Zeus by King GordiusWP as his own for use with his chariot.[11]
Starting with succeeding the throne of Macedonia in Greece at the age of twenty, his conquest quickly subdued the neighboring countries and became the leader of CorinthWP. His eventually eyed his ambitions towards the straitsWP, seeking to extend his reign into Persia. Sweeping through from the far west with his army, none underestimated it, rumors of its might spreading through countries long before the army's arrival. As his army's great morale overwhelmed even the most devoted of warriors, they were even more shocked when he spared them, told them of his goal, and returned dominion of the lands to the nobles. He exclaimed to them that: "My goal is the end of the world. My destination is the furthest border of the East. I want to behold Oceanus with my own two eyes. I want to leave my footprints at the beach beside that endless sea.” Though they thought his words folly, many were rekindled to the dreams of their youth, setting off after Alexander to join his conquest.[13] During the conquest of Persia, Alexander came to view Darius III and his Athanaton Ten Thousand as a worthy rival, blocking Alexander's path numerous times.[14] The name Iskandar was given to him by the Arabs and the Persians.[15] Due to Darius' immense height, after finally conquering the Persian Empire, Alexander required the footstool of Darius' throne to be swapped with a table to properly sit on it despite his own great height. This played a part in history recording Alexander as being short.[13]
After Persia and with a goal of the most extreme eastern edge of Asia, they marched through Egypt and through western India during the "great eastern campaigns."[11][16] Marching without end, they crossed boiling deserts, passed over chilling, snow-capped mountains, and forded billowing rivers. They fought savage beasts and fought for their lives through numerous unknown foreign tribes displaying alien weapons and battle strategies. Although an innumerable number of soldiers died, they kept their great morale to the end, holding proud smiles and listening to the sounds of the ocean they sought in their hearts, despite never reaching it.[13] In the end, he brought about the largest empire in history to date and became the "great king who built the era known as the Hellenistic civilization." He reached the success of a great hero in just ten years after beginning his conquest, but soon died after living only a period of thirty three years.[11][13] His dying words, "Leave everything to the strongest." ended up splitting it apart instead.[15] His campaign to the East went as far as India. There, his troops and generals complained of fatigue, and so he turned back to Babylon, where he suddenly passed away. Following his death, the empire split into four warring factions that "quickly disappeared into the sands of history."[16]
Due to his great exploits in life, some say he was chosen by the twelve historical Gods of Olympus.[17]
Appearance[]
Rider without his mantle.
Rider is a gigantic man standing over two meters in height. He has large muscles that give the impression of being able to kill a bear with his bare hands. He has sternly chiseled features with eyes that give off a dazzling glow, able to overtake Waver's soul in an instant with their sharpness, and burning red hair and beard. He wears bronze armor, with cuffs and greaves with white-furred fringes, that leaves his arms and thighs unprotected. He wears a thick red mantle with a fluffy white fur collar. It is luxuriously decorated, and looks like a curtain wrapping the stage of a theater.
At Stage 1, Rider wears his customary armor without his mantle. Rider's Stage 2 appearance is the same as that of Stage 1, but with the fur mantle added. Stage 3 Rider also wears added armor, and his fur seems a lighter color.
While historical records called him short because he could not reach the foot stool of Darius III's throne after conquering the Persian empire and had to swap it for a table to sit on the throne, he claims that it is because he was truly short when compared to Darius. In the end, he considers that history written by random people cannot completely and accurately describe the situation back then, so he has no problems with the inaccuracy.
During life, Alexander took the lead in wearing Asiatic clothing due to his interest in cultures of his conquered land, causing his followers to avert him like the plague. He does the same in the present, changing into contemporary styled clothes while in public because of trying not to lag behind Saber and her suit. He orders an XL sized T-shirt based on the Admirable Tactics" videogame he takes to playing in his free time. It is white shirt with the logo of the game imprinted on top of the world map, looking much like a cheapskate product from the games segment published on the front page of the special edition a magazine.
He is very happy with it because it gives him "the effect of having the whole world on my chest" and goes well with the conqueror outfit. Due to his pride in the shirt, he first attempts to move around in public without any pants or undergarments, which he doesn't find to be strange in the least. He refers to pants as "that thing that causes you to stumble", and hates the idea of having to wear them. Waver eventually buys him large jeans, so that he can actually go out without troubles.
For the sake of protecting Iskandar from various forms of curses and magecraft, his body double in life developed numerous counter-intelligence schemes. That is why the descriptions left behind about Iskandar, such as being small and thin with heterochromia, don’t match the appearance of the Servant Iskandar at all.[18]
In Fate/EXTELLA, he has the following costume:
- Formal King (フォーマル・キング, Fōmaru Kingu?)
In Fate/EXTELLA LINK, he has the following costumes:
- Conqueror's Armor (征服王の革鎧?)
- Battle President (バトル・プレジデント?)
- Macedonian Rider Armor (マケドニアの騎馬甲冑?) (DLC)

Personality[]
Iskandar is noble and physically overbearing. He is not pragmatic, but is a person who lets history run its course and acts according to his impulses. While he is wild and somewhat inconsiderate to others, his greed inspired his subjects and ultimately resulted in their happiness. He is always jovial, values friendship highly, and he regards the bond with all of his followers in Ionioi Hetairoi as his greatest treasure. They all, being inspired by such a magnificent king, in turn gives him their undivided loyalty and adoration. He also admires people who treat friendship with sincerity, such when he meets Taiga Fujimura. He is compassionate to those with whom he bonds, such as telling Waver Velvet that it is natural to be sickened by Caster's atrocities and that he would strike anyone who would feel nothing from the sight.
He was adventurous and had the goal of reaching the edge of the world during his life, and he looks forward to conquering the world now that he has found out it is a sphere, and how small his empire that he spent his life conquering was compared to the size of the world. He desires to conquer the world as a human, so that is his only wish for the Holy Grail. He is not overly cruel as would be expected from a tyrant, but tries instead to keep bloodshed to a minimum despite his love for battles and destruction. He is fine with not actually winning the battle outright, and even attempts to recruit the other Servants as his followers after witnessing their prowess for himself. He prefers to conquer his enemies by winning without killing and controlling without humiliating them. He admires Artoria's abilities as an individual and believes that she would be an amazing asset to his army. He is seen as a unique individual with strange ideas unbefitting of his legacy, but Waver is able to understand the meaning behind his conquest. He sees Iskandar as deserving of title of "King of Conquerors" because that which he strives to conquer most is not lands or material wealth, but the hearts of people, the toughest conquest that can be undertaken by anyone.
His way of kingship is his greatest pride and as such, he despises Artoria's way of kingship, the direct antithesis. He calls her naive for considering sacrificing herself to save her kingdom, and goes so far as to denounce her as a king. He insists that a king should be setting vivid examples to be followed, bond with his subjects at personal level, and his way of living should be something inspiring to and envied by all under his rule, not a distant ideal or martyr whose deeds would be praised yet whose path is so full of sorrow and pain that it would only inspire a sense of dread. To him, a selfless king who isolates himself from his people to die for ideals is nothing but a fool, which is worse than a tyrant. He is also in opinion that a king should be vibrant, a figure who is inspiring and leading his people, instead of being a distant loner who concerns himself only with protecting and saving his people. Ultimately, he would grieve and weep over his losses and mistakes, but he would stay true to himself and never regret decisions made as a king.
He has a mutual rivalry with Gilgamesh, and offers for a joint conquest to take over the world.[19] Despite all Servants who have first seen him thought him to be stupid and preposterous for a conqueror of his reputation, he eventually earns their respect, even Gilgamesh who rarely shows any respect to anyone, but he claims that he will only ever have one friend. The respect Iskandar inspired in Gilgamesh is great enough that the King of Heroes deems him worthy enough to be faced with Ea and Enkidu in their final fight, even though Gilgamesh can easily win without using them.
Iskandar is bisexual, so it is possible he would have attempted sexual relationships with both Kayneth and Sola-Ui Nuada-Re Sophia-Ri if he had been summoned by them.[20]
Iskandar takes a great interest in the modern world, often spending his free time eating crackers and watching videos to learn about the new world around him. He is also especially eager to go outside and experience things as a human. He especially takes a great liking to the video game called, Admirable Tactics.[21]
Relationships[]
- Waver Velvet
- Waver initially disliked Iskandar for his boisterious ways, comments about his short stature, and disobedience despite being his Servant. Nonetheless, the two were quick to bond during the Fourth Fuyuki Holy Grail War. Iskandar came to admire his wit and determination despite Waver having the lowest of opinions of himself. During their first encounter with the other Servants, Kayneth Archibald El-Melloi begins to berate and torment Waver. Iskandar instantly defends Waver's dignity. Despite being timid, at least Waver would ride with him and Iskandar notes that only someone who will ride onto the battlefield with him is worthy of being his Master. Before the final battle against Gilgamesh, Waver becomes Iskandar's subordinate. The bond between them continued to hold after the Grail War, with Iskandar visiting Waver in his dreams years after.
- Artoria Pendragon
- While Iskandar considers Artoria to be both naive and foolish for her idealism, he doesn't despise her personally. He admires Artoria for her abilities as a Servant, as such he greatly wishes to have her as part of his army. Iskandar feels sorrow towards Artoria and her ideals, believing that the burden of them to be too great for a little girl who should've had a normal life.
- "Hmm? Is that Britain's King of Knights? Her expression is telling me she's free of her doubts. Hmm, this is not good. I'm happy for her, but this feeling of exhilaration... Let me go tease her for a bit!"[22]
- Artoria Pendragon Alter (Lancer)
- "...What's this, am I still drunk from yesterday? I think I'm seeing the King of Knights but with a more rounded body. And... she rides a fine steed. Though it's no match for my Bucephalus!"[22]
- Gilgamesh
- Although he wishes for them to join forces in conquest, Iskandar understands he and Gilgamesh can never be friends. He also hates the sick pleasure Gilgamesh takes in watching Artoria despair under the weight of her ideals. He considers him the most troublesome of foes, yet even more worrying as an ally.
- "This is a surprise. The King of Heroes is here with you! He's trouble as an enemy but he's even more troublesome as an ally. You don't happen to have any difficulties with him, do you? Hmm?"[22]
- Zhuge Liang
- "Huh? There's the strategist with a stern face. Eumenes would put up a good fight... Or maybe he's still a bit immature on the inside. It'd sure be interesting to have him meet Hephaistíon!"[22]
- While he does have an eye on him, he does not view at him any special way. It may be harsh, but said hero acquaintanceship with him is but of one among the many encounters for Iskandar.[23]
- Alexander
- "Hey there now, so you have the immature me tagging along with you, too? You sure are cruel, Master... I'm a bit embarrassed."[22]
- Iskandar is fond of his younger self, but feels a bit embaresed by how immature and inexperienced Alexander is. In turn, Alexander is impressed by the strength of his older self.
- Darius III
- "Darius III, huh? Hmm. I have quite a history with that king, but I regret that we never shared a drink. I thought maybe it'd be different this time... But his current form is from the third time I pursued him. It seems that our destiny is ever to kill each other."[22]
- His greatest rival. Were both of their standpoint to be just a little bit milder, he would like to share a drink with him.[23]
- As in life, Iskandar and Darius are rivals, but share a mutual respect for each other. Both want to have a rematch between their Ionioi Hetairoi and Athanaton Ten Thousand.
- Achilles
- "What!? Achilles the great hero is here!? Aaah, to think my greatest wish has finally come true! Come, let's have a footrace! And a swimming race! I'd also like a wrestling, horse riding, and javelin competitions with him! Ooh, my heart won't stop pounding! Anyway...so that armor of his is the legendary... Hm, the Greeks are certainly amazing..."[22]
- It would appear that the bold and fearless Conquest King would reflexively tidy his clothing and address him. He had aspired to him since his childhood, and even as an adult Achilles is the great hero and an objective for him.[23]
- Iskandar is a fan of the Iliad and thus he is also a big fan of Achilles.
- Qin Shi Huang
- "The Immortal Emperor... Would one go as far as plucking his own people's potential in order to fulfill his wish for peace? Hmph, what a tyrannical rule."[22]
- Iskandar dislikes Qin Shi Huang, believing him to be a tyrant who stunted his people's potential for the sake of peace.
- Ozymandias
- "Ah, even the Pharaoh of the Sun is here, too! Haha, I'd like to take a peek inside that shrine of his...but I feel I'd be in mortal peril if I tried."[22]
Role[]
Fate/Zero[]
Rider was summoned by Waver Velvet with an artifact; a mantle once worn by Iskandar. This artifact was originally Lord El-Melloi's and was stolen by Waver, who intends to prove that his teacher is wrong.[24][25][26][27][28][29]
Iskandar, the King of Conquerors, is noble and physically overbearing. He is an enormous man who has little interest in the Holy Grail and cares more about conquering the world again, especially now that he realizes the world is much bigger than he was aware of during his life. He is especially fascinated by ordinary aspects of modern life and intends to inform the world of his return, much to Waver's chagrin.
He arranged a King's Meeting at Einzbern castle to discuss with the other Heroic spirit Kings about their desire for the Holy Grail. In the Kings Meeting, he expressed his desire for the Holy Grail is not for conquering the world but his true incarnation so that he can become a human again and not bound as a servant. However, after learning from Saber wish to change the past to save her country, Rider was disappointed and does not acknowledge Saber as a King, addressing her as "little girl" and calling her by her title with little intention other than mocking her.[30][31][32][33][34]
He helped fight Gilles de Rais.[35][32][34]
In a battle with Saber prior to his final engagement with Gilgamesh, Rider gambled using Gordius Wheel against Saber but his chariot was destroyed by Excalibur. Rider would not manifest Ionioi Hetairoi as he was saving it for Gilgamesh.[36][37]
Before the final fight, Rider asked Gilgamesh whether he can join forces together as Rider has his armies and Gilgamesh has his weapons and they can conquer the world easily but Gilgamesh declined, stating that there was only one comrade he would ever have and there could be only one king.[38]
Rider is slain by Archer
He fought against Gilgamesh on a bridge, Rider used Ionioi Hetairoi: Army of the King as a final move. However, Gilgamesh wipes out half of the army with his Enuma Elish, causing the reality marble to dissipate. As a result of the instability, the rest of the army fades, leaving Rider with no choice but to charge him head on. Rider rushes bathing in the curtain fire of Gate of Babylon. Upon nearing him and right before he can deliver the final blow, Rider is bound stiff by Enkidu, and eventually slain by Ea. Gilgamesh appears to have had great amounts of respect for Iskandar, addressing the dying King of Conquerors with the comparatively more respect, and stating that he would be ready to accept his opponent's challenge at any given moment.
The Outsiders’ Performance[]
In the side story of the special drama CD, Taiga Fujimura as an adult tells Saber how she was inspired to become an English teacher when she encountered Waver and Rider in the Fourth Grail War.[39] She was looking for the thief who broke into her friend Otoko Hotaruzuka's store and stole their best wine barrel. She encounters both Waver and Rider during in the night after she fell from the roof. Rider becomes a translator for both Taiga and Waver, as Waver did not learn Japanese before coming to Japan, and Taiga explained to Waver and Rider that she chased after the thief until he flew off.[40]
The Outsiders’ Performance
Taiga instantly jumped in the cold water to save a dog,[40] while believing Waver and Rider would also help out.[41] As Waver and Rider helped Taiga out of the water, Waver questioned why Taiga is so persistent in helping people. Taiga replied that she believes in kindness in others. Waver thinks this is quite cute, though Rider says something completely different which left Waver in disarray: Rider claims he wanted Waver to have a romantic experience. Taiga chased after an underwear thief, dragging Rider and Waver to help her.[41] After they handed the underwear thief to the police, they helped reunited the puppy to its owner.[42]
Waver asked Taiga if she helped others, does not she have any problems herself. Taiga claims that she is worried about her love, school and future. Waver and Rider suggested she is suitable for teaching and guiding those who seek knowledge. Waver suggested they should part ways and head back home but Taiga wants to go after the wine barrel thief. Waver and Rider explained that searching for the criminal at night in Fuyuki City is getting more dangerous. Taiga tried to introduce herself to the two but Waver hypnotizes Taiga to head back home for her own safety. Rider thought of stealing more wine barrels from the market for Taiga but Waver stopped him from creating more trouble, Waver had a plan that could help her.[12] Taiga says an anonymous person sent a dozen barrels of high-class London red wine outside her friend's house.[39]
Lord El Melloi II's Case Files[]
Ten years after the Fourth Holy Grail War, Waver - now an adult known as Lord El-Melloi II - still dearly misses Iskandar. He keeps both the red cloth that was Iskandar's catalyst and Iskandar's t-shirt as keepsakes, and for the first half of the series plans on entering the Fifth Holy Grail War so that he can summon Iskandar again and be reunited with him.
Grace note[]
After the incident aboard Rail Zeppelin, Waver has a dream where he sees Iskandar waiting for him at the ocean Iskandar once sought. Iskandar asks Waver if he is coming to join him, and after Waver dismisses it as a dream, Iskandar notes how he's become too logical of a person. He is impressed to see that Waver is now a teacher, to which Waver responds that he has changed in the years since the Grail War but he still isn't ready to stand beside Iskandar yet, as his journey is not yet over. Iskandar asks Waver if his journey so far has been fun and Waver begins to cry as he affirms that yes it has - his journey to follow Rider's legacy.[43]
case. Grand Roll[]
Iskandar and Waver reunite in Lord El-Melloi II Case Files.
Through a complicated ritual involving Faker, the Spiritual Tomb of Albion, the time acceleration magecraft of Norikata Emiya, and legends of how Iskandar was the son of Zeus and was welcomed by the Twelve Olympians upon his death, Doctor Heartless plans to transform Iskandar from a Heroic Spirit into a Divine Spirit and then summon him into the modern day, thus bringing back the Age of Gods.[44] The method of summoning Iskandar was inspired by Blackmore Cemetery, and like how Gray was supposed to become King Arthur, Heartless transforms Faker into Iskandar.[45][46]
Heartless succeeds in summoning Iskandar as a Divine Spirit, and upon manifesting he activates his Noble Phantasm Ionioi Hetairoi. Within the desert and surrounded by Iskandar's soldiers who had come to greet their king, Waver uses a Command Spell provided by the Edelfelts which they had left over from the Third Holy Grail War, and his authority as Iskandar's Master, to unsummon Iskandar, foiling Heartless's plans to bring back the Age of Gods.[47]
Although Heartless is stopped, Iskandar is still a Divine Spirit. He uses his powers as one to grant Gray a miracle, resurrecting her companion Add whose consciousness had died during the battle in the Spiritual Tomb of Albion.[48]
Fate/Grand Order[]
Fate/Accel Zero Order[]
Iskandar and Waver come to the sewers in search of Giles de Rais to kill him. They arrive too late, though, and interrupt the fight between Ritsuka's party and EMIYA, forcing the latter to retreat. Iskandar discerns that El-Melloi II and the others are a third party unrelated to Caster, much to the latter’s relief. He assumes El-Melloi II was trying to pick a fight with Waver based on how he insulted Waver for overestimating his own abilities and not understanding the situation. He then challenges El-Melloi II to a fight, but the group retreat to avoid a fight.[49]
He and Waver meet the group again when they disrupt his discussion with Artoria Pendragon and Gilgamesh to kill Gilgamesh with Lancelot's help.[50] However, after Gilgamesh perishes, Artoria is suddenly attacked by Lancelot due to his Master, Kariya Matou, passing out. The group helps her fight Lancelot, but Iskandar soon stops the fight. He has decided to join Lancelot against El-Melloi II. El-Melloi II asks him why, as he did everything to avoid this conflict. Iskandar replies it’s because he doesn’t like him to El-Melloi II’s devastation and for interfering with the Grail War. He warns Artoria and Diarmuid Ua Duibhne that they'll be his enemies if they side with El-Melloi II. He then leaves with Kariya and Lancelot, promising to settle things with El-Melloi II once Lancelot recovers.[51]
Outside the Matou Residence, Kariya tells Iskandar and Waver how he came to be Lancelot's Master. Iskandar punches him upon hearing that he plans to kill Tokiomi Tohsaka now his Servant Gilgamesh is gone. He then reminds Kariya that he should prioritize saving and protecting Sakura Matou first. Seeing Kariya doesn't have his priorities straight, Iskandar abandons the idea of him and Lancelot being his allies. He then proceeds to burn all the worms in the basement, capturing Sakura in the process. He agrees to give her to Kariya in exchange for his right hand and Command Spells, which Kariya concedes to. After severing Kariya's hand, Iskandar notices the Crest Worms are keener on eating the Command Spells than their host. He then has Mithrenes take Kariya and Sakura to a hospital outside of Fuyuki before leaving.[52]
He later confronts Ritsuka's party in the Grail's Chamber. El-Melloi II asks him if he intends to continue the war, even though he should be able to sense the cursed magical energy emanating from the Grail. Iskandar doesn’t care because he merely wants to entertain himself and El-Melloi II. El-Melloi II is frustrated he would fight for such a selfish reason when the world is facing a crisis. He then fights Iskandar after the latter accepts him as a worthy opponent.[53]
He defeats Iskandar, though he believes he couldn’t have done it without Zhuge Liang’s power since his own power is lacking. Iskandar however tells him it only matters how said power is used. He suspects El-Melloi II would understand that if he saw his real Ionioi Hetairoi and flicks his forehead. He then disappears commending him for a good fight.[54]

Fate/EXTELLA[]
He becomes a playable character for upcoming war and be available choice by Hakuno Kishinami. He's in Altera's party along with Altera, Gilgamesh, and Jeanne d'Arc.[56]
The Heroic Spirit Iskandar is a Top Servant in Moon Cell. When the Moon Cell senses that Altera has been released, it summons him to do battle with her. However, being unaccustomed to fighting on SE.RA.PH, with all its subtle differences to the Earth he lived and died on, he approaches the fight as a kind of warm-up. Because of that, he loses. Altera then declares that his life belongs to her, and forces him to join her army. Technically, this also makes him a Servant of Altera's Master, but Altera treats them both as if they were the same rank. Altera understands that her victory over Iskandar was a matter of circumstance, and that they are evenly matched in terms of strength. While, subsequent to their fight, she does wield power over him, she does not consider him to be beneath her — nor does she look down on Jeanne, whom she recruits in a similar fashion. Iskandar understands that as well; but accepts his defeat with dignity. From then on, he pledges to assist Altera in achieving her goals. Make no mistake, however: He is loyal only to Altera, and not the Umbral Star.[15][57][58][59]
Flame Poem[]
Iskandar aids Jeanne in defending Mare Origo against Nero Claudius' forces. During the course of the battle, he fights Nero, and is defeated by her. He later helps defend Mare Carcer, but Nero defeats him again.
Orchid Words[]

Dawn[]
Iskandar heads with his army for the Zero Dark to kill Altera under Moon Cell's orders. Altera's forces intercept his forces at Mare Mellum, eventually forcing a confrontation between the two commanders. Impressed by Altera's swordsmanship, Iskandar asks for her name, but he doesn't recognize the name. He wonders if Altera is disguising her name with a skill, but he ignores it to continue his duty. He nearly scolds Altera for being unrestrained, but realizes she has her reasons. He then fights her to make her understand, but she eventually disarms him. Accepting the loss, he decides to join her.
A few days later, Iskandar aids in conquering Mare Mellum against Nero's forces. The next day, he and Jeanne help conquer Mare Aurum. After the battle, Altera realizes Nero launched an attack on Mare Carcer while she distracted by Gawain, and summons Iskandar and Jeanne back. She orders them to destroy every enemy program in the Zero Dark while she attacks Nero's main forces in Mare Carcer.
Golden Poem[]
Iskandar leads Altera's forces against Nero's own, along with Gilgamesh and Jeanne. After much of his army is routed, he appears before Nero, and praises her combat prowess and confidence. Nero asks him why he joined forces with Velber, to which answers he joined when lost against its servant, Altera. He continues that he wishes to show Altera there is more to fighting than destruction when she called herself the "embodiment of destruction" by showing her his way of conquest. Nero then challenges him to show his way of fight, and he's defeated. As he begins to disappear, Iskandar states his way of battle is to place one's price on the line while fighting for supremacy, not just pure destruction. Satisfied with the battle, he thanks Nero, and bids her farewell before disappearing.
Other appearances[]
He was briefly mentioned in Einzbern Consultation Room, Rider went straight to the Great Grail without coming to the Consultation Room as he had no troubles and his master Waver was still alive. Irisviel von Einzbern commented that Rider and Waver pairing were very rare in the fourth grail war as they were happy with each other.
Rider makes a cameo appearance in Carnival Phantasm in the last episode. He was seen drinking beer with Taiga and Gilgamesh.
In Fate/Apocrypha,[60] Fate/strange Fake,[61] and Lord El-Melloi II Case Files,[62] Lord El-Melloi II still kept his red mantle catalyst safely and he is often reminiscing Rider. He originally intended to lend the catalyst to Flat Escardos.[61]
In Fate/strange Fake, when Saint Germain first meets Richard Lionheart, he mentions having also met Rider when he was still alive, who apparently agreed to listen to the strange and eccentric man.[63]
In The Adventures of Lord El-Melloi II, a recreation of Iskandar created by Atlas technology appears when the defense systems of the Library of Alexandria create a copy of Iskandar's army to fight off intruders.[64]
In Type-Moon's April Fools' Day 2009, moon.cinemas.jp is a fake movie theater site listing a number of parody films. Rider is featured as Tank Man in Sensha Otoko.
Abilities[]
Iskandar is an extraordinary Heroic Spirit.[25][28] Goredolf Musik regarded him, alongside the King of Heroes and the King of Knights, as one of the powerful Servants that would be required to take down Lostbelt Ivan the Terrible.[65] However, it should be noted that this was before learning the latter had fused with a Demonic Beast mammoth.[66] In the Moon Cell, Iskandar is among the seven Top Servants,[15] the best and the strongest servants on SE.RA.PH.[67]
During the events of the Fourth Holy Grail War, Iskandar was weakened due to having Waver Velvet, a third-rate,[30] perhaps second-rate, Magus as his Master.[34] This is believed to have greatly weakened his parameters.[30] However, he is still without a doubt, a powerful Servant. Despite being a Rider, a class generally regarded weaker than the Three Knight Classes, his basic abilities still were at a more than average level. Just making eye contact with him once on their first meeting was enough to overwhelm Waver like a small animal and instinctively communicate that he was a mighty servant with outstanding abilities.[26] The only time Iskandar was considered to be in prime condition was during the fight with Gilgamesh where he was empowered by three Command Spells. His Magical Energy was increased several times thanks to them, causing his aura to overflow. Despite having lost access to Gordius Wheel, Iskandar was now at his 'most perfect'.[38] Gilgamesh, who had decided not to hold back in their fight prior to their confrontation,[37] recognized him as an 'enemy'.[38]
Combat[]
Sword of the Kupriotes
In combat, Iskandar wields a spathaWP (スパタ, supata?) sword named Sword of the Kupriotes (キュプリオトの剣, Kyupurioto no Ken?, Sword of Kupriotes). Gifted to him in life by the King of the Cypriots; its hilt was decorated with the likeness of a lion. Despite being a valuable sword splendidly arranged, its Magical Energy is not on the level of a Noble Phantasm.[26]
Iskandar is implied to be an incredibly powerful combatant on foot. Even while weakened during the Fourth Holy Grail War, he is capable of reacting to one of Hassan of the Hundred Faces' surprise attacks with lightning speed during the raid in Gilles de Rais' workshop. Having lost the element of surprise, the few Hassan present stood no chance of winning given the great difference between them and Iskandar.[30] His great Strength allows him to block Artoria Pendragon's Invisible Air despite the latter having a greater advantage at the time due to the momentum provided by Yamaha V-Max's maximum speed. Nevertheless, Artoria was unable to break through Iskandar's defenses and was deflected away. However, no matter how physically strong Iskandar is, he would be at a disadvantage against Artoria's in a sword fight.[36] During the fight with Gilgamesh, Iskandar was capable of closing the distance between them while blocking, dodging, and getting hit by at least eighty Noble Phantasms from Gate of Babylon. He would have managed to strike Gilgamesh had the latter not restrained him with Enkidu at the very last moment.[38]
Iskandar vs Altera
During the events of Fate/EXTELLA, Iskandar was summoned as a Top Servant to defeat Altera. However, being unaccustomed to fighting on SE.RA.PH, with all its subtle differences from the Earth he lived and died on, he approached the fight as a kind of warm-up, and thus, lost. Although Altera then declared that his life now belonged to her, and forced him to join her army, she understands that her victory over Iskandar was a matter of circumstance and that they are evenly matched in terms of strength.[56][15] In his rusty state, Iskandar's power is easily a match for Karna.[citation needed] Even Nero Claudius powered by one-third of the Regalia admits that her functions and statistics are at a disadvantage against Iskandar. However, she still managed to defeat him. Altera was surprised by this, saying that he was certainly not holding back.[57] In the "Golden Poem" Arc, Nero with now two pieces of the Regalia fought and defeated Iskandar yet again. This time, she states that Iskandar was a fearsome opponent and that without the power of the Regalia and the support of his Praetor she wouldn’t have been victorious.[58] She further states that she’s not confident she would win if they were to fight again.[59]
Mordred claims that Iskandar could take a blow from Clarent to the face and keep standing after the dust settled.[68]
Skills[]
Class Skills[]
- Magic Resistance (D Rank): Cancel Single-Action Spells. Magic Resistance of the same degree of an amulet that rejects Magical Energy.[1][4] Due to being a Rider, a class separate from the Three Knights, Iskandar's Magic Resistance isn't high-ranked enough to challenge a Caster head on without any strategy. Due to this, Waver Velvet wasn't confident in attacking Gilles de Rais' territory without any plan in mind.[30]
- Riding (A+ Rank): The skill of riding animals and vehicles. Creatures on the level of Phantasmal Species and Divine Beast can be used as mounts. However, that does not apply to members of the Dragon Kind.[1][4] Iskandar has different mounts he can employ in combat:
- Gordius Wheel: The reason Iskandar qualifies for the Rider class is the war chariot Gordius Wheel.[26] It has greater dimensions than an ordinary truck,[36] and it is carried by two divine bulls at a maximum speed of 400 km/h.[28][36] As a former offering from King Gordius to Zeus,[26] the chariot can fly, and it releases a web of lightning with as much Magical Energy as what Diarmuid Ua Duibhne or Artoria Pendragon would unleash if they used every ounce of their Strength. Its aura is so large and threatening that most would mistake him for a thunder god. In fact, given the connection to bulls, the first one to come into someone's mind would be the highest god of Mount Olympus.[28] Compared to a modern day weapon, it would rival a Strategic bomberWP. He would transform the whole Shinto area into scorched earth if he was left wild for not even an hour.[26] Although the maximum impact of the chariot is struck by its wheels, just getting trampled by the eight hooves of the bulls is enough to completely incapacitate someone as durable as Berserker Lancelot.[28] Furthermore, in a fight against Artoria, Iskandar would be at a disadvantage the further away he is from her, due to the characteristics of Excalibur. It would probably be safer to have a close-range melee battle that could limit the destructive power of her Noble Phantasm.[36]
- Bucephalus: Iskandars secondary mount is his horse Bucephalus. Just like the soldiers of Ionioi Hetairoi, it became a Heroic Spirit that could be summoned by Iskandar. In fact, if it was Human, it would be just as impressive as any one of his subordinates.[30]
Personal Skills[]
- Charisma (A Rank): The nalent to command an army. Can be said to have achieved the greatest popularity as a Human being.[1][4] His overwhelming charisma is incomparable with other mortals. It's so great that his majestic and elite armies worship him like a god, and are willing to give up their lives to him.[31]
- Those Who Go to the Beyond (A Rank): Upgrade from Charisma in Fate/Grand Order.
- Divinity (C Rank): Despite the absence of clear evidence, according to many stories it is said he is the son of Zeus, the greatest of gods.[1][4]
- Tactics (B Rank): When Iskandar was alive, his military prowess that resounded in the Islamic world derived into many heroic tales and was propagated all over Asia.[9] Tactical knowledge used not for one-on-one combat situations, but for battles where many are mobilized. Bonus modifiers are provided during use of one's own Anti-Army／Anti-Fortress Noble Phantasm or when dealing against an enemy Anti-Army／Anti-Fortress Noble Phantasm.[1][4]
- Subjugation Tactics (A Rank): Upgrade from Tactics in Fate/Grand Order.
Noble Phantasms[]
Iskandar's first Noble Phantasm is Via Expugnatio, the trampling attack performed with Gordius Wheel. The damage is decided twice, first by the hooves, then the wheels of the chariot. Along with all physical damage, there are also the effects of lightning, the manifestation of Zeus. Should the target fail its Strength check, additional damage will be dealt.[1] Iskandar states that he could probably defeat Artoria Pendragon or Lancelot with just his war chariot.[34] During his confrontation with Artoria, the two battled in a straight road not obstructed by anything. Although this situation was uniquely advantageous for Artoria's Excalibur, Iskandar decided to fight her regardless to determine whose kingship was better. Given the one-hundred-meter distance between the two servants, Iskandar judged that he had a 50% chance of hitting Artoria with Via Expugnatio before she could activate her Noble Phantasm.[36] Although Iskandar's chariot was ultimately destroyed by the Holy Sword,[36] Waver Velvet notes that his presence had been the reason Iskandar's determination faded away at the critical moment, choosing to dodge the attack at the very end.[37] Had Waver not been there, Iskandar might have come out victorious.[37]
Iskandar's trump card is Ionioi Hetairoi, a Reality Marble that summons his former soldiers as Heroic Spirits. Each of these tens of thousands of warriors is their own independent Servant without a Master with an E Rank Independent Action skill, allowing materialization possible for a maximum of 30 turns.[1] It is widely regarded as a Noble Phantasm on the same power level as Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon.[19][30] Tokiomi Tohsaka initially believed that Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasm was the strongest. However, this opinion was shattered by Ionioi Hetairoi's existence.[30] Due to this, Tokiomi considered Ioinioi Hetairioi the most threatening obstacle, even more so than Artoria Pendragon's Excalibur or Lancelot's Knight of Owner.[33] Although Artoria believes that she can defeat Iskandar single-handedly,[33] she fears that even if she exerts Excalibur's power to its full extent, victory is not guaranteed.[36] The result of a showdown between an Anti-Army and Anti-Fortress Noble Phantasm was already beyond the capacity of Human imagination.[36]
Development[]
He was first mentioned in the encyclopedia of Fate/side material.[19] Kinoko Nasu claims that if he wrote Fate/Zero, Iskandar would have been more like Red Saber.[69]
Creation and Conception[]
Rider's initial designs.
Takashi Takeuchi considers Rider to be the key character of Fate/Zero due to the time and energy that went into his design. He considers it difficult to draw due to its complexity and detail. Gen Urobuchi compares him to a heavy tank and the Rider of Fate/stay night to a racecar. His Gordius Wheel embodies the "tank-ness", but it is too large to enter sewers. The original idea for it was to give it the ability to change sizes by substituting its parts and transforming, but it still would have been too large.[2]
Takashi Takeuchi feels that without his mantle, Rider gives off an intimate feeling that puts him in style with commoners. Takeuchi felt like a loincloth may have been suitable for him. Out of his initial designs, Takeuchi likes the one with the "three feelers" in the center.[2]
Iskandar was designed by Takashi Takeuchi in Fate/Grand Order, the coloring of Stage 4 was done by Shimokoshi. Gen Urobuchi is the scenario writer for his character in Fate/Grand Order.
Reception[]
Nasu viewed Iskandar as a worthy opponent to Gilgamesh, but the Iskandar Urobuchi created was an excellent, wild, and unprecedented character that even he could have never thought up.[69]
- In the Type-Moon's 10th Anniversary Character Poll, Rider was ranked 6th, the second most voted male character.

Comment for Alexander
Takeuchi: We are the King of Conquerors! Because he can be said to be the ultimate key person in F/Z, a lot of time and energy went into his design. He has a detailed and complex design, so he became a very difficult character to draw.
Urobuchi: If 5th Rider is a racing car, then 4th Rider is a heavy tank, Which one would you choose to take a ride on?
Takeuchi: Actually, the heavy tank-ness of the Gordius Wheel is cool. But it can't enter a sewer at all.
Urobuchi: At one point, that Noble Phantasm was designed to have the ability to change its size at will by substituting its parts and transforming. Even then, though, the sewers would be too narrow.

Without the mantle, you get an extremely intimate feeling from him. The King of Conquerors in the style of commoners. [Takeuchi]

Profile
Iskandar is the naming for Alexander III in Persian, he is also known by the nickname of Twin-Horns King (Dhû'l Qarnayn).
With the eastern expedition, his military prowess that resounded in the Islamic world derived into many heroic tales and was propagated all over Asia.
Level 1 Bond
After he inherited the Macedonian throne at the age of 20, he suppressed the Greek city-states and invaded West Asia.
He acquired the status of Pharaoh of Egypt, defeated the robust Persian Kingdom and built a great empire that reached as far as the distant India.
Level 2 Bond
That passion towards conquest was not a desire to rule under the name of territorial expansion, but the strong influence of an explorer-like aspect of pursuing an unknown world. He appointed local personnel for the ruling of conquered regions and proactively endeavored in the appeasement with the West Asian culture, building the cornerstone of Hellenic civilization.
Level 3 Bond

Level 4 Bond
"Troops of the King"
Rank: EX Type: Anti-Army Noble Phantasm
Ionian Hetairoi.
A inherent bounded-field of summoning. The trump card of the King of Conquerors.
People themselves are treasures. The distinguished services of matchless brave warriors are by themselves the proof of a king.
Consecutive summoning of the personal guard he lead in his lifetime as independent Servants, trampling down on the enemy with a military force of tens of thousands.
Level 5 Bond
In the "Troops of the King", the entirety of the Iskandar Army from when he was alive is summoned. The symbol of his kingship, a bond with his retainers that overcomes even time went as far as being sublimated as a Noble Phantasm.
This originates from the fact how he - while alive - was not a hero that raised deeds of arms as an individual, but a hero that fought while commanding a military force.
Level 5 Bond
The passion of the King of Conquerors, who accomplished an extraordinary great expedition based on the dearest wish of reaching the farthest sea - Okeanos, does not change regardless of which age's Holy Grail War he is summoned to.
Taking no notice of even the miracle of the Holy Grail, he marches once again towards the ends of the world. Glory lies for sure at the distance.イスカンダル - ライダー

His normal facial expression is calm. Still, he is constantly filled with a firm fighting spirit. During battle, he open his eyes and begins the destruction of the target by becoming a storm itself.
(due a high "Mad Enhancement", most of his human nature has disappeared)
Level 3 Bond
In contrary to the sternness of his fight, strangely his reactions towards the Master are mostly obedient.
As he does not runs wildly in normal times, and comparatively listens properly to what he is told, his effective Restarting Skill is also not wasted when retreating from battle.
Level 4 Bond
"Athanatoi Ten Thousand"
Rank: A Type: Anti-Army
Ten Thousand Cavalry of Immortality.
Ten thousand soldiers transformed into moving corpses and walking skeletons appear, gather and become a "war elephant of death", exterminating the enemy.
Level 5 Bond
Immortal corps Athanatoi. The ten thousand elite men that existed as a historical fact turned into a Noble Phantasm, their indestructible and immortal nature is being emphasized due to the legends established in future years.
The "war elephant of death" is a colonial organism of sorts that completely destroys the opponents of the king with a terrifying blow of magical power.
Interlude
His wish for the Holy Grail is "a rematch with Iskander".
Not a one-on-one, he desires a rematch that is clash of troops against troops--
Although a comparatively obedient Servant, he is likely to run wild when his wish is involved, so special attention is required.ダレイオス三世 - バーサーカー

[] Fate/EXTELLA material - Encyclopedia: Iskandar [Servant], p.097-098 [T] Iskandar [Servant]
A Rider-class Servant in Altera's army.
He was born in the 4th century BC to the royal family of Macedonia, a kingdom in Greece.
Thanks to the influence of his mother, Olympias, he was fascinated by the exploits of heroes in mythology. He believed that he was the son of Zeus (who was also regarded as an Egyptian god by the name of Amun).
He inherited the throne at the young age of twenty, and began his great conquest by uniting the Grecian states. He raised an army and led them in a campaign to the East, not only conquering the great kingdom of Persia, but also many of the kingdoms under its control, beginning with Egypt.
The name Iskandar was given to him by the Arabs and the Persians. His campaign to the East went as far as India. There, his troops and generals complained of fatigue, and so he turned back to Babylon, where he suddenly passed away.
He created the greatest empire in the history of mankind as a conqueror, but his dying words, "Leave everything to the strongest." ended up splitting it apart instead.
Today, the Heroic Spirit Iskandar is a Top Servant, known among his peers as the "King of Conquerors."
When the Moon Cell senses that Altera has been released, it summons him to do battle with her. However, being unaccustomed to fighting on SE.RA.PH., with all its subtle differences to the Earth he lived and died on, he approaches the fight as a kind of warm-up.
Because of that, he loses. Altera then declares that his life belongs to her, and forces him to join her army. (This sort of thing is bound to happen when you don't play with your full attention on the game...)
Technically, this also makes him a Servant of Altera's Master, but Altera treats them both as if they were the same rank.
Altera understands that her victory over Iskandar was a matter of circumstance, and that they are evenly matched in terms of strength. While, subsequent to their fight, she does wield power over him, she does not consider him to be beneath her — nor does she look down on Jeanne, whom she recruits in a similar fashion.
Iskandar understands that as well; but accepts his defeat with dignity. From then on, he pledges to assist Altera in achieving her goals.
Make no mistake, however: He is loyal only to Altera, and not the Umbra' Star.イスカンダル【サーヴァント】

[] Lord El-Melloi II Case Files material - Encyclopedia: Iskandar [Heroic Spirit], p.098 Iskandar [Heroic Spirit]
The King of Conquerors, Iskandar. Also known as Alexander the Great.
A great Heroic Spirit, whose exploits were only matched by a small handful of others across the entirety of human history.
Summoned in the Fourth Holy Grail War under the class of Rider, he was the Servant of Waver Velvet. His Noble Phantasms were Gordius Wheel, the Wheel of Heaven’s Might, on which Faker’s “Hecatic Wheel” was based, as well as the Rank EX Ionian Hetairoi, Army of the King, which could summon forth tens of thousands of Heroic Spirits.
Though he never really appeared in Case Files himself, his influence was enormous.
Even Heartless himself had an undeniable eye for him. Due to his great exploits in life, some say he was chosen by the twelve historical Gods of Olympus…Heartless’ plan began from that anecdote.
Though it can’t be said whether the words Gray heard at the end of Case Files truly belonged to him or not, the resurrection of the box in her hands was unquestionably a miracle.イスカンダル【英霊】
征服王イスカンダル。もしくはアレクサンダー大王とも。
世界史全体を見渡しても、これほどの偉業をなしたものが何人いるかという大英雄。
第四次聖杯戦争においてはライダーとして現界し、ウェイバー・ベルベットのサーヴァントとなった。宝具はフェイカーの『魔天の車輪』の原型となった『神威の車輪』による蹂躪走法、そしてランクEX、数万の英霊を呼び出す『王の軍勢』。
事件簿においてはほぼ本人は登場しなかったが、その存在感は絶大。
ハートレスによって目をつけられたのも、むべなるかな。あまりの偉業ぶりから歴史上オリンポス十二神に選ばれかけたこともある……という逸話より、ハートレスの計画が始まったのだった。
本編最後にグレイが聞いた言葉が、本当にイスカンダルのものだったかどうかは分からないが、彼女の手の中に蘇った匣だけは、紛うことなき本物の「奇跡」であった。 - ↑
[] Lord El-Melloi II Case Files material - Encyclopedia: Faker [Servant], p.106-107 Faker [Servant]
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。 - ↑ 19.0 19.1 19.2

The fourth entry in a super-popular series of war games set during World War II, where players control the Axis powers and fight against the Allies. The subtitle is "The Melancholy of Dr. Porsche".
Since the game systems had already reached the limits of complexity and difficulty in the previous installment, this newest version simply added more nations, stages, and maps. And with new units like the Focke-Wulf Triebflügel, the V-3 cannon, and a clone of the Führer himself, it surpassed the realm of war games and became a chaotic melting pot that defies description. Even now, it enjoys a small but intensely dedicated fanbase.アドミラブル大戦略Ⅳ【その他】

[] Fate/Zero material - Encyclopedia: Iskandar [Servant], p.090-091 Iskandar [Servant]
The Rider class Servant of the Fourth Holy Grail War.
He was originally supposed to be summoned by Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald, but instead formed a contract with Waver Velvet, who stole the catalyst Kayneth had prepared before the war began.
Going in, the original author entrusted me with just three pieces of information regarding Alexander: his true name, the Noble Phantasm called "Army of the King", and the fact that there must be a development where Saber comes to reconsider her own kingship through her conflict with him and Gilgamesh.
So, starting from there I figured the most important thing was that he be a totally different sort of king from both Saber and Gilgamesh. That's why I decided to come up with his general appearance and personality first, and only research his actual history afterward, all the while looking for ways to twist and distort things along the vector I had already imagined for him. But then, the more I read about him, the more I realized Alexander the Great's actual life was like something out of Shounen Jump. I barely had to change anything about him at all!
With the way he faced formidable foes with the utmost respect and behaved more like an adventurer than a statesman, I can't help but imagine him as a character in one of Hara Tetsuo's manga. Actually, now that I think about it, It'd be great if Hara Tetsuo made an Alexander the Great themed manga for real! I'm being serious.
His love of the Iliad ran so deep that he once totally disregarded strategy in favor of sightseeing around the city of Troy. He might have been the first celebrity otaku in human history.イスカンダル【サーヴアント】
第4次聖杯戦争におけるライダーのサーヴァント。当初はケイネス・エルメロイ・アーチボルトによって召喚されるはずが、聖遺物を盗んだウェイバー・ベルベットによって召喚され、契約を結ぶ。
原作者によって託された課題は三つ。イスカンダルという真名と、王の軍勢という宝具、そして「セイバーはギルガメッシュやイスカンダルと闘争することで、王としての自分を考え直す」という展開である。
そこでセィバーともギルとも違う王者、という三角測量によって、まずは容姿と性格の方向性が決定され、後は史実のエピソードを、どうやってそっちのベクトルにねじ曲げていくかという作業が課されたわけだが……文献に当たれば当たるほど、アレキサンダー大王の少年ジャンプ的生涯はこちらの予想の斜め上を行き、なんかこちらの希望した方向性と充分近い路線にのっけから居てくださった。数々の強敵に対するリスペクトぶり、為政者ではなく冒険者としての行動原理など、どう見ても原哲夫ワールドの住人としか思えない。っつうか、いつの日か原哲夫先生にアレキサンダー大王を題材として漫画を描いていただきたい。マジで。
戦略そっちのけでトロイア名所観光をおっぽじめたりと、そのイリアスの愛好っぷりは、もはや人類史最初のオタクセレブと呼ぶに相応。 - ↑ 25.0 25.1 Fate/Zero - Volume 1: The Untold Story of the Fourth Holy Grail War, ACT.1

Then, how about the red Saber (Saber Extra), who appeared in Fate/EXTRA?Q: Having the "black" one as the main character and the "white" one as the villain is a refreshing idea. Then, how about the red Saber (Saber Extra), who appeared in Fate/EXTRA?
Uro: That character is completely disconnected from the other Sabers. Personally, she looked like a female Gilgamesh to me.
Nasu: If I had written Fate/Zero, then Iskandar would have been a character like Red Saber. In my mind, I can only see Iskandar as a worthy opponent to Gilgamesh, but the Iskandar Urobuchi created was an excellent, wild, and unprecedented character that I could have never thought up. But I want to surpass him somehow, so maybe Red Saber was born out of my drive to create a different tyrant from Iskandar.
