Jiao (鮫, Kō?) is a spirit summoned by the Godfelling Crossbow in Fate/strange Fake.
Profile[]
Background[]
Jiao is a figured related to the legends of Qin Shi Huang (whom they call Zheng[2][3][1]) and Xu Fu. Notably, Qin Shi Huang was the one who killed him using the crossbow after trying many other Mystic Codes to do so.[1] They were once called a deity, and once had a name long ago but have since "lost it".[3] "Jiao" is the name they give Sigma to call them by.[4]
Appearance[]
Jiao has a beautiful androgynous appearance[2] and voice,[3] making it difficult to tell if they are a man or a woman.[1] They are shrouded in an aura of opulence produced by their distinctive makeup and the glamorous red clothing they wear, making Tsubaki Kuruoka wonder if they are royalty.[1]

They are one of the only characters able to sense Watcher.[1][4]
Development[]
Creation and Conception[]
Originally, rather than Jiao, Qin Shi Huang was going to appear in the role of the spirit manifesting from the Godfelling Crossbow in Fate/strange Fake, planned with the series' original release five years prior. Due to the character appearing in Fate/Grand Order, Narita developed instead a new character for the role, commenting that it worked out because the new character was fun to write.[5]
