Jacques de MolayWP (ジャック・ド・モレー, Jakku Do Morē?), Class Name Saber (セイバー, Seibā?), is a Saber-class Servant summoned by Ritsuka Fujimaru in the Grand Orders of Fate/Grand Order Arcade. He is also summoned by an unnamed Master "After" the Holy Grail War in Fate/Requiem.
Profile[]
Identity[]
The Knights TemplarWP, a knight order that protects pilgrims to the sanctuary of Jerusalem.
Molay is the 23rd president and famous as the last Grand Master.
Philip IV of FranceWP, who wanted the enormous assets of the Knights, suspected Morey as a heretic and abolished the Knights.
Molay was burned at the stake in Paris, leaving behind the words of the curse.
There is not a man west of Austria who does not know his name.[1]
History[]
13th century. Born at that time as a child of a small aristocrat in Molay, Burgundy, who belonged to the Holy Roman Empire.
Molay, who joined the Knights Templar at the age of 21 and became a knight, participates in the defense of the city of Acre, which was his last base, but the city falls without receiving the reinforcements of the Crusades.
Although the Knights' headquarters was moved to Cyprus, Molay did not give up on the recapture of the Sanctuary and burned his passion for the Crusades' re-expedition, advocating the reform of the Knights, which had been corrupt and proud, and became president.
The Knights Templar has earned enormous wealth through donations from the princes of each country, and has increased its assets by widely operating the financial industry, which is a pioneer of the banking industry, and has more than 10,000 large and small divisions throughout Europe. He owned a property comparable to the kingdom.
Molay tried to be a devout monk as the fall was spreading to the Knights who had lost sight of their purpose.
He regretted his unsuccessful military achievements and sought to recapture the sanctuary of Jerusalem.
The sinister day when the Knights Templar were arrested all at once after being dressed in heretical wet clothing such as black magic and Satanism by King Philip IV of France is said to be the origin of what is commonly referred to as "Friday the 13th."
Molay, who was burned at the stake after imprisonment and torture, shouted a curse on Philip IV and his puppet Pope Clement V.
In fact, they die debilitatingly without waiting for a year.
Molay, who became a servant, has mercy but no hatred for the French royal family who eventually followed the path of decline.
However, I want you to return the loaned money. That's it.
Appearance[]
Personality[]
A serious and shy person, one's first impression is that Jacques is bad at communicating and has an air of frailty. When it comes to negotiating, however, he changes completely, displaying a persistent, tenacious force of will. As his physical health declines, his arguments become sharper as he corners his opponent without backing down.
He stubbornly tries to following the Templars' vows of "poverty, chastity and obedience" and "death before surrender". As the Templars' funds are the property of God, his attitude in regards to handling money is unusually practical. He endeavours to keeps his emotions under control during his dealings so as to never be at a disadvantage.
That said, his stomach gets upset easily to the point of vomiting, during which time he can only think about cute things.
Relationships[]
- Richard I
- "King Richard I, who commanded at the forefront of the 3rd Crusade, the valiant King of England! The first battle of the campaign was fought in Akon and Cyprus, both of which were marked by the passion of the Lionheart King. However, at the end of his expedition, he never set foot in the holy city of Jerusalem, even though the city was within sight at last. Was it because he did not want to be defenseless in front of his arch-enemy?... Or was it because he regretted not having achieved the desired results in the war? I have often thought about his regret and pride as a king......"[2]
- Saint Georgios
- "Saint George, the famous dragon slaying Guardian Knight. Ah! We were both summoned to the same Singularity. Even though we swore to false oaths and were both under the influence of the Book of Madness....we still stood on the long road of pilgrimage and fought together, and I consider it an honor. Please forgive my rudeness."[2]
- Jacques de Molay (Female)
- "What if a version of me corrupted by the evil attribute were to manifest? I can't say that it will never happen. Everyone runs the risk of falling into temptation and falling from grace. However, that is not something that can directly observed. As long as I'm myself if there is even a sliver of conscience left in me, you have to tighten it up strictly and without mercy."[2]

Comment from Illustrator[]
"Jacques de Molay (Saber) is a Servant that represented the financial organization (bank) of the Knights Templar so I created a design based on the black arm covers worn by bankers in the past. The pouch was also made to look like a wallet, and bar codes, which are associated with money, were also incorporated into the costume. The sheep character was also designed to resemble mascots, often seen in banks. The wrists, ankles, and neck are drawn one size thinner than usual because he tends to get sick. For Molay (Foreigner), the sheep has been changed to a goat, and the back of the shield has been made to look like a Genghis Khan pot." (Kouhaku Kuroboshi)[3]
