Profile[]
Background[]
Harwey fathered of Leonardo B. Harwey through Alicia and fathered Julius B. Harwey through an unnamed woman. Leo was raised as the heir to the family, set to be the next "king." Julius was considered worthless, initially discarded and later turned into an assassin for the family. Julius spent time under the care of Leo's mother, never seeing his father's face. After Julius had lived with Alicia for a short time, Harwey ordered him to kill Alicia, stating, “Leo will be the next King. Eliminate everything that is unnecessary to him.”[1]
Personality[]
Harwey places all importance on Leo's upbringing, discarding the mother of his child and his other son all for that purpose.[1]

Julius Belkisk Harwey.
He is a Master, but not a Wizard.
He is a captain of the West Europe Plutocracy’s private army (Counter-Terrorism Unit) and is a skilled assassin who has worked in the shadows to eliminate many enemy forces.
Julius has a different mother from Leo, and participating in the Holy Grail War is part of his mission to support Leo. Julius was given the Servant Assassin who was summoned by another Wizard who used to be in Leo’s service.
As a child of the Harwey family Julius had high expectations placed on him, but it became clear while he was still in the womb that he was powerless and defective.
The Harwey family threw him away as garbage for the reason “this child will bear us no profit” but Julius managed to survive thanks to his abnormal willpower, and in time he crawled up the ladder to his current position.
When Julius turned six years old (coincidentally the same year that Leo was born), in order to be “profitable” for the family, his youth was essentially discarded, and his body was forced by various medicines to rapidly develop into an adult body.
Three years later his existence was finally deemed to have some value, and after completing his first job he was placed out of sight and out of mind in the Harwey assassin unit.
This is why he has so much combat experience despite being as young as he is.
He was able to gain enough sway over the other members of the unit through sheer willpower rather than relying on talent or his household’s authority.
If Leo is the light of the Harwey family, then Julius is the dark. Julius takes all the darkness upon himself and walks the villainous path.
This is once again digression; however Julius’s physical body that lies dormant on Earth is half dead.
Julius’s body has been modified so much that he will no longer be able to function normally as a human after this mission. He is organically connected to the Harwey super computer. Using the backup of the super computer to his advantage, Julius pushes the limits of the rules in order to eliminate all obstacles to Leo’s victory.
There is no future for Julius on Earth. He can never return alive.
Julius does everything in his power to make it so that Leo will win, but he doesn’t do this out of loyalty to the Harwey family.
When Julius was still a child Leo’s mother, Alicia, acted like a mother to Julius. Julius fights to protect and support Leo because of her words. “Take good care of Leo for me.”
The short time Julius spent with her was the only time he was able to be like a normal child.
However it ended all too soon.
Disdained as a defective product, he was given a harsh first test of his skill.
“Leo will be the next King. Eliminate everything that is unnecessary to him.” said his father whose face he had never seen.
It was a moonless night. He walked along the familiar path he often took to her room.
Beautiful long golden hair. A calm and peaceful sleeping face.
A small clicking noise resonated in the room as he started to pull the handgun’s trigger.
Her gentle voice replayed in his head.
“Take good care of Leo for me.”
Bang. The dull sound that came from the gun.
Julius lost the only person who had ever tried to cheer him up, and at the same time he finally proved his worth [to the Harwey family].

In the preliminaries Julius is the only Master who thinks that the protagonist might pose a risk.
Thanks to Julius’s keen sense, he was able to see that the biggest obstacle to Leo’s victory was in fact the protagonist rather than Rin or other favored Masters.
That naive amateur would prove to be a rock that the King would stumble on.
After a series of clashes, the protagonist encounters Julius in the 5th round.
Even after being defeated and dying, Julius remains as a vengeful ghost and once again faces off against the protagonist in the final layer.
The reason that Julius is so obsessed with the protagonist is not because the protagonist is Leo’s biggest obstacle, nor because Julius realized the protagonist’s true nature.
It’s simply because Julius is furiously irritated.
Just like Julius, the protagonist worked his way up from the bottom. So when they met the protagonist could immediately and clearly see through Julius, and this aggravated Julius to no end.
Julius would only find out the cause of his vengeful impulse in the final moments before his complete destruction.
◆
Julius also appears as a Master in CCC.
Since the protagonist can’t remember anything, as far as he/she is concerned Julius is just a very slick handsome guy that always seems to be at Leo’s beck and call.
Julius is the Student Council’s secretary. He can be a bit gloomy, but he is a reliable young man.
Actually Julius has retained just one memory.
He remembers turning into a vengeful ghost and trying to attack the protagonist, and his resulting “complete destruction” (death). He didn’t die in the fifth round, and only died much later after becoming a ghost.
BB has no idea that Julius survived till much later than the fifth round as a ghost, and mistakenly pulls the “ghost” version of Julius back into the fray of battle despite Julius knowing everything that will happen until the seventh round.
After being employed as one of BB’s pawns Julius pretends to have died holding a grudge against the protagonist, but he actually takes action to support the protagonist from the shadows.
The reason he does this goes without saying.
In the last moment before being destroyed when he was ghost, Julius finally found the light he always desired.ユリウス・B・ハーウェイ【人物】
ユリウス・ベルキスク・ハーウェイ。
マスターのひとりだが、ウィザードではない。
西欧財閥の私設部隊（対テロ部隊）の隊長として多くの敵勢力を秘密裏に葬ってきた殺し屋である。
レオとは腹違いの兄弟で、レオのサポート役として聖杯戦争[ミッション]に参加。先行したウィザードが獲得したサーヴァント・アサシンを譲渡されていた。
ハーウェイの子として期待されたユリウスだが、胎児の状態ですべてにおいて能力値が低く、また、欠陥を備えていた事が判明。
ユリウスは“この子供は利益を生まない”という理由で廃棄品として捨てられたが、異様な精神力で生き延び、現在の地位にまで這い上がった。
彼は六歳の時……（奇しくもレオが生まれた……）に、大人たちの言う『利益』を出すために幼年期を捨て、薬によって成人の体に成長した。
三年後に生存価値を認められ、初仕事の後、現在の暗殺部隊に籍を置くことになった。
年齢こそ若いが戦闘経験は豊富なのはこのためだ。
彼は私設部隊の荒くれ者たちをまとめるだけの説得力[バックボーン]を、才能や家柄ではなく精神力だけで獲得した。
レオがハーウェイの光であるなら、ユリウスは暗黒部分を一手に引き受けた外道である。
また余談ではあるが、地上で瞑想しているユリウスの肉体はなかば死体。
ユリウスの肉体は今後の生活に支障が出るレベルの脳改造を施しており、ハーウェイのスパコンと有機的に繋がっている。このバックアップを最大限に使い、ユリウスは聖杯戦争のルールすれすれの手段でレオの障害を排除していた。
ユリウスには生きて地上に戻る未来はない。
レオを勝者にせんと全力を尽くすが、それはハーウェイへの忠誠心でもない。
彼は幼年期、ユリウスに母として接してくれたレオの母・アリシアの遺言を守るために戦い抜いた。
“レオをよろしくね”と微笑む義理の母[アリシア]。
彼女と過ごしたわずかな時間だけが彼の人間らしい幼年期だ。
だが、それもすぐに終わる。
不良品と蔑まれながら与えられた最初の性能試験。
次代の王に不要なものを排除しろ、と顔も見た事のない父は言った。
月光の途絶えた夜。行き慣れた女の私室。
美しく長い金の髪。穏やかな寝顔。
ふと、ハンドガンのトリガーを引く瞬間、
穏やかな声が再生された。
“レオをよろしくね”
タン、という味気ない銃声。
自分を奮い立たせていたただ一つの人間性を失い、彼はようやく、自己の有用性を証明した。
◆
ユリウスは予選の段階から主人公を危険視していた、ただひとりのマスターである。
ユリウスはその嗅覚で、レオにとって最大の邪魔者は凛や他のマスターではなく主人公だと理解していたのだろう。
あの素人。あの平和にゆるみきった男／女こそ、王[レオ]がつまずく路傍[ろぼう]の石だと。
幾たびの衝突を経て、主人公とは五回戦で激突。
戦いに敗れた後もその執念でゴーストとして残り、最後の階層でもう一度、主人公と対峙する事になる。
ユリウスが主人公に固執していた理由は、
レオにとって最大の障害だったからでも、
主人公の正体に気づいたからでもない。
彼はただ、いらだっていたのだ。
自分と同じ一般人からのたたき上げである主人公が、まっすぐに自分を見据えて立ち向かってきた事が、どうしようもなく癩に障った。
それが何を求めての衝動[もの]だったのか、彼は消滅の間際に知る事になる。
◆
CCCでも登場するマスター。
記憶を思い起こせない主人公にとっては、レオに振り回される謎のイケメンという立ち位置。
生徒会の役職は秘書。陰気だが頼りになる青年として活躍する。
実はひとりだけ記憶を保っている。
EXTRAでゴーストと化して主人公への復讐に現れたユリウスは、その時点で“死亡”した。彼が消滅したのは五回戦ではなく、もっと後なのである。
それを知らないBBは「ゴースト化していた」ユリウスを引き込んでしまったので、ユリウスだけは七回戦までの未来を知っている。
ユリウスは“主人公に怨みを持ったまま死亡した”フリをしてBBを欺き、水面下で主人公の助けとなるよう行動する。
その理由は言うまでもない。
ゴーストとなって消えた彼は最期に、望んでいた光を手に入れたのだから。
