Louis XVIIWP (ルイ十七世, Rui jū nana-sei?), Class Name Avenger (アヴェンジャー, Avenjā?), is an Avenger-class Servant summoned by an unnamed Master "After" the Holy Grail War in Fate/Requiem.
Profile[]
Identity[]
The second son of Marie Antoinette and King Louis XVIWP of France, his full name is Louis Charles, Duke of Normandy. He was the last King of France at the end of the Bourbon Dynasty.[2] He was imprisoned during the French Revolution, endured abuse and horrible conditions during his imprisonment, and died at only ten years old. Louis was considered King by French royalists after his father's death, but he never actually ruled, having been in prison the entire time.
Appearance[]
Louis appears to be only an innocent young child, described by Erice Utsumi as like purity sculpted in alabaster.[3] When Erice found him inside his prison Noble Phantasm La Grosse Tour, Louis appeared starving and haggard, with thin cheeks and shriveled limbs.[2]
A design for Louis appears in the Fate/Grand Order -turas réalta- manga.
Personality[]
Louis is talkative and chatty. He can be friendly, but his lines may contain the impression of unsettling and uncomfortable. He is described by Erice as a monster who is called from the land of the deceased and once again unleashed into the world.[2]
Role[]
Fate/Requiem[]
Five years before the events of Fate/Requiem, a nine-year-old Erice Utsumi met Louis and his Master at a therapy session which Erice was forced to attend. Erice befriended the two of them and would visit the Master's workshop, where he made things like children's school bags and shoes. Aware that Louis's Master was somewhat mentally disturbed, Erice took it upon herself to help him. Erice thought that, by giving support and with Louis on his side, the Master would be able to live in the drastically changed society "After" the Holy Grail War and help him get used to and blend into the lifestyle.[2]
Shortly after Erice befriended Louis and his Master, people began to go missing across Mosaic City without a trace, with their mutilated corpses found later in different locations. One day while visiting Louis's Master, Erice was told to no longer visit his workshop as he would be going somewhere far away, and let out a huge rant about the Holy Grail system and his absolute dissatisfaction about how the people's free will had been taken away due to the inclusion of Holy Grail and Servants into their lives. This was the last time Erice had a proper conversation with him.[2]
Some days later Erice ran into Louis on the street and learned that his Master had not in fact left the city. She returned to his workshop to find her Dread Spirit abilities activating automatically. The further into the Master's workshop Erice went the more dead bodies she found, accompanied by the sound of Louis humming. Erice's memories after that are blank, but she awoke to find that she had killed Louis's Master in self defense.[2]
Erice fell into Louis's Noble Phantasm La Grosse Tour, a recreation of his prison from life. Louis stood motionlessly and collapsed in her arms, fading away without his Master alive to supply magical energy. With his last words he called out for his mother.[2]
Karin was one of Louis's kidnapped victims, and one of the few who survived. It was due to this that she and Erice first met.[2] When Erice met Voyager five years later she was initially wary of him because he, like Louis, appeared to be only a young boy.[3]
Fate/Grand Order[]
Black Marie manifested from Erice's guilt.
Marie Antoinette mentions Louis during the Orleans Singularity, saying how her son was killed just to hurt her.[1] She calls him Charles, perhaps to differentiate him from his father Louis XVI; Louis XVII's full name was Louis Charles.
In the Board Game Apocalypse event, Erice's guilt over killing Louis caused her own Dread Spirits to manifest in the form of Black Marie.[4]
Abilities[]
Louis' Noble Phantasm is La Grosse Tour.
