Rider (ライダー, Raidā?) is the Rider-class Servant of Shinji Matou in the Moon Holy Grail War of Fate/Extra.
She is able to be summoned by Ritsuka Fujimaru in the Grand Orders of Fate/Grand Order.
Profile
Identity
Rider's True Name is Francis DrakeWP (フランシス・ドレイクWP, Furanshisu Doreiku?), she was a ship's captain who made her name as both an adventurer and fleet commander.[5][4] He was a man in historical fact, but Drake appears in this work as a woman. This is caused by the fact how nobody in her surroundings saw Drake as a woman. According to a sailor, "Ergh, we cannot call ourselves men if we look the captain as a woman; or rather, it would be rude towards her."[4] She was the renowned explorer who successfully became the second person alive who circumnavigatedWP the globe, the first person known to have attempted this feat was Ferdinand MagellanWP but he died halfway through his voyage, and so Sebastian Elcano took the lead of the expedition and became the actual first one to circumnavigate the earth. She paved the way for England to become the dominant superpower in the Age of DiscoveryWP through its substantial earnings.[5][4]
During the time of Francis Drake, England was considered to be a second-rate power with no real influence beyond its borders and no colonies of worth overseas. It was primarily due to his voyages and successes on the high seas that gave rise to the British EmpireWP. What created the opportunity for them to be reborn in the world as the British Empire were the voyages that Drake accomplished. The story goes that there were six tons of just spice in the load she had at the time of her return, and that by far exceeded the national budget of the England of that time. These commodities and the detailed maps produced during the world circumnavigation became the capital to put together a fleet that could compete with the world's champion - Spain - and served as foundation for the establishment of the East India CompanyWP.[5]
This person was also the one who was given credit for the virtual destruction of Spain's Invincible ArmadaWP, which caused the nation once thought of as "the kingdom on which the sun will never set" to the edge of collapse. During what was to be the final confrontation between England and Spain's Invincible Armada, the name given to the Spanish naval forces during the period of history known as the Age of Discovery. The Invincible Armada consisted of an estimated 65,000 men serving on more than a hundred large warships, each of which weighed in at over 1,000 tons. Francis Drake was commissioned as a vice admiral in the English navy. Using an unorthodox strategy involving the use of fire-ships, she forced the Spanish fleet into open water where they could be bombarded with cannon fire. Spain's Great Britain Conquest Armada was defeated without being able to land. After this, the Spanish people started to fear and call Drake in the following way "The Devil" (『悪魔』, "Akuma"?).[5]
An oft-mentioned aspect of the Drake mythos is that of his ship, the Golden HindWP. Not only was it the flagship of Drake's fleet, it was seen as a symbol of hope and a source of miracles. The exploits the Golden Hind made possible elevated Drake to a level on par with King Arthur. Both are said to dwell in Avalon, the city of the dead, and will eventually return to lead England to true glory.[5]
In addition - and this is merely literary creation - there is also a story full of romance in which Drake was a companion of Queen ElizabethWP and, just before setting sail for the world circumnavigation, switched places with the Queen, who could no longer go out in public due to receiving a wound on her face.[5]
She died of dysenteryWP at the age of 55. Her dying wish was that she be buried in her full armor.[5][4]
Appearance
Though a male in real history, Francis Drake has materialized as a woman.[5] Rider is a female pirate captain with long wavy crimson pink hair, blue eyes and scar across her face. She wears brown choker collar almost attach to her dark pink captain vest that shows her breasts, white pants, and long dark brown boots.
Personality
A woman pirate who is more manly than men.[4]
Rider proclaims her personality as selfish and greedy; she is also devilish in battle. She is a person who has dedicated her life to hedonistic pursuits and sees no difference between a paragon of virtue and a rogue scoundrel. She revels in all things gaudy, whether they are in war or in her private life, and is content to chase after ephemeral pleasures and leave nothing of worth behind, much like the passing of a raging storm. She is particularly entranced with treasures of gold and silver, but her true love lies not with enduring treasure, but those treasures that explode like fireworks and then quickly fade away.
« I chase after gold so that I can scatter it like a storm! » |
(As she so often declares) |
As a devoted libertineWP, all that matters to her is the inevitable crash at the end of it all. A Heroic Spirit who is completely indifferent to the frailty of human existence, she is content to indulge in her own whims and desires until death comes to greet her.[5] She admits it's against her nature to enjoy fighting weaker opponents and she hoped to see Hakuno and the servant to grow stronger.
Relationships
- Shinji Matou
- Rider treats Shinji as a younger brother, often pointing out his flaws. A self-proclaimed villain who is only interested in money, she seems to only work with Shinji for monetary reward. However, despite all her apparent character flaws she accepts her loss with good grace, displaying her belief in impermanence, the idea that nothing lasts forever.
- Gilgamesh
- It is for this reason that she is incompatible with Gilgamesh that symbolizes "an inexhaustible treasury."[5]
- Tamamo no Mae
- She would also be at odds with Caster, as she is the epitome of eternity.[5]
- Artoria Lancer - Alter
- Anne & Mary
- Edward Teach
Role
Fate/Extra
She was summoned by Shinji and is the first servant that Hakuno's Servants fights. When she contracted to Shinji, she said to her master about being prepared to win or lose and always laugh at bad memories. She proclaims herself to be a hired gunsman and she will only work on the amount that Shinji offered. In the manga, Rider briefly fought against Gawain until Kirei Kotomine suggest them to stop.
She is first encountered when Hakuno Kishinami and the servant was going to collect the first Cipher key. She briefly fought against Hakuno's servant until SE.RA.PH intervened. When Shinji hacked the arena to a treasure hunting event, he was hoping this would improve Profligate Pillaging skill and to satisfy Rider's comments about lack of treasury.
In the elevator, Shinji suggested to Hakuno to surrender and work with him. However Rider believes a fixed game doesn't suit to her style. Eventually, she loses against Hakuno's servant, and Shinji blames Rider for being weak. She admits to her failings and calmly suggest to Shinji to accept his fate as they lose. She reminds Shinji about the conversation they had before contract as Master and Servant. She told him to be prepared, because a villain's final moments are laughably miserable. As she fades, she forced a smile toward Hakuno and hopes them to become stronger.
Last Encore
In a flashback, Rider defeated an astronaut Servant and his Master, qualifying her and her Master Shinji Matou to ascend to the second floor. Instead, traumatized by all the death he had been exposed to, Shinji resolved to stay on this floor and rework it into a paradise. Amazed, Rider agreed to support him.[6]
Rider is first found by the male Hakuno Kishinami and Saber in a bar of the ocean city located in the first floor of the Sea of Seven Heavens and Saber first mistakes her for a Master, as she is dressed in casual clothing. She explains to them that the Masters in that city gave up on the Holy Grail War and their Servants in order to live peacefully. After Saber left the bar, Rider asks Hakuno is he was going to sell Saber, to which he responds by asking her if she would turn her gold to mud just to survive. She praises his response and comments that there is still one Master like him who kept his Servant.[7]
After flooding the city, Shinji calls upon Rider to battle Hakuno and Saber. Rider arrives on the Golden Hind and opens fire on Saber, but Rider notes that as she had not fought a battle in a while, her skills and aim are rusty. Saber is eventually knocked into the water, but Hakuno saves her and restores her energy. Saber reveals she figured out Rider's true name is Francis Drake, so Drake congratulates her. Saber uses Imperial Privilege to take control of a sunken ship and ram the Golden Hind with it. As Saber boards her ship and charges her, Drake tries to shoot her, but her guns have run out of ammunition and Saber runs her through.[6]
As she lies dying, Drake asks Shinji to sever their contract so that he will not die with her, but he refuses to abandon her. When Hakuno says he doesn't hate Shinji anymore, Drake tells Shinji that his guilt over betraying his friend is lifted, but Shinji retorts that Hakuno is not his friend. She asks Hakuno why he wants to ascend the floors, but she and Shinji die before he can answer.[6]
Fate/Extella Link
Francis Drake is a member of Karl der Große's party.Different from Karna,she disagrees with Karl der Große's ideas,which considered to be the same as plunder.Refusing the invitation of Nero Claudius,Francis Drake claims that her cooperation with Karl der Große is a business and it is a good opportunity to plunder Rome.
Fate/Grand Order
Okeanos: The Four Sealed Seas of the End
Drake is a living hero during the Singularity. Before the arrival of Ritsuka Fujimaru and Mash Kyrielight, Drake and her men aboard the Golden Hind set out on a seven-day voyage, during which they came upon Atlantis and its god, Poseidon, who attempted to destroy the world. Drake managed to beat Poseidon and take the Holy Grail that he had from him. This Holy Grail was a genuine one and not one of the ones causing Singularities. It granted Drake enhanced physical abilities, on the level of a Servant. She and her crew then got caught up in a storm, that caused them to be drawn into the "Okeanos" Singularity, an endless ocean created through the contention between Drake's Grail and the Grail of "Okeanos".
Drake meets with Ritsuka and Mash when they are led to her hideout, after having defeated some of her men. They hold a celebration, during which Ritsuka and Mash notice Drake's Holy Grail and think that it is the Grail of the Singularity. However, they find out that it's a real Grail, not the one they are looking for. Drake decides to aid them in their search, setting off with them and her crew.
They encounter other Servants, including Asterios and Euryale who join them, as well as Blackbeard and his allies, who hold the Grail of the Singularity. They fight Blackbeard's forces twice, managing to beat them on the second time with the help of Artemis and Orion. However, Hector kills Blackbeard and escapes with both the Grail and Euryale. They track down Hector, who arrives onboard the Argo, where Jason, Heracles and Medea Lily also await. Drake's forces are unable to defeat them, instead, managing to escape.
The party encounters Atalanta and David, who join them to defeat Jason and prevent him from reaching the Ark. They then confront Jason again, managing to defeat his allies and Jason, who is transformed into the Demon God Forneus, ending the Singularity.
Salomon: The Grand Time Temple
Drake was amongst the "Okeanos" Singularity Servants to aid Chaldea against Demon Gods Pillars.[8]
Agartha: The Mythical Subterranean City
- Main article: DahutWhen the Agartha singularity manifested, Drake disappeared from Chaldea, ending up inside the singularity. Her Saint Graph was modified by Scheherazade's Phenex-enhanced Noble Phantasm, and she was made to play the role of Dahut.[9][10][11][12]
Abilities
She wields a pair of FlintlockWP style pistols and Hakuno initially thought that she was an Archer class. Normally Flintlock pistol can fire a single bullet but in her case, she can fire them rapidly and Rider claims that her pistols run on mana as ammunition.
Her Noble Phantasm is her flagship, the Golden Hind, at the fore, a vast flotilla of smaller craft expand ever outward and exterminates her enemies with overwhelming firepower. Its attributes contain vestiges of not only the fleet that eventually defeated the mighty Spanish Armada, but also of the stories involving the golden stag and the eventide tempest that had spread throughout the whole of Europe. Golden Wild Hunt is Rider's ace in the hole and forms the basis of her day-to-day life. The eventide tempest is the encapsulation of all storms, from blizzards to cyclones, which manifest in the imagination of men as beasts and soldiers, saviors and monsters. Depending on who is speaking, the leader of these apparitions ranges from a fallen King Arthur to the Norse god Odin to the first murderer of men, Cain. in England, it is believed that Francis Drake rides the endless storm despite the fact that the role assigned to her is usually given to malevolent figures of history and myth.[5]
Rider has 3,094 HP, and her in-game skills are:
- Helada Sol Poniendo: Big Sister's Resplendent Plunder (姐さんの華麗な略奪, Nee-san no Kareina Ryakudatsu?, localized as Profligate Pillaging) - Her ATTACK power increases based on treasure found. She will use this skill on the 1st move. This Skill is affected by how many Pirate Bounties she got during the Treasure Hunting event.
- Culverin Cannons (カルバリン砲, Karubarin-Hō?) - Drake can also materialize certain portions of a ship, such a causing four cannon ports to materialize in the air and having them fire at the enemy. It inflicts physical damage on an enemy. She will use this skill on the 3rd move.

02 - Invincible Armada
The name given to the Spanish naval forces during the period of history known as the Age of Discovery.
The Invincible Armada consisted of an estimated 65,000 men serving on more than a hundred large warships, each of which weighed in at over 1,000 tons. Its might was such that it earned Spain the reputation of being "The kingdom on which the sun will never set."

The sailing logs of a renowned explorer who successfully circumnavigated the globe.

ワイルドハントとは暴風雨や吹雪など嵐の化身で、猟犬や山羊、馬や武装した兵士、怪物などの姿で現れるとされる。
これを率いる者は、伝説では悪魔化したアーサー王や古代の神オーディン、最初の咎人カインなどであるとされ、そうした者たちの中でもイギリスで広く信じられているのがフランシス・ドレイクである。

The person who circumnavigated the globe and paved the way for England to become the dominate superpower in the Age of Discovery through its substantial earnings. This person was also the one who was given credit for the virtual destruction of Spain's Invincible Armada, which caused the nation once thought of as "the kingdom on which the sun will never set" to teeter on the edge of collapse.
She is a person who has dedicated her life to hedonistic pursuits and sees no difference between a paragon of virtue and a rogue scoundrel. She revels in all things gaudy, whether they are in war or in her private life, and is content to chase after ephemeral pleasures and leave nothing of worth behind, much like the passing of a raging storm.
She is particularly entranced with treasures of gold and silver, but her true love lies not with enduring treasure, but those treasures that explode like fireworks and then quickly fade away.
As she so often declares, "I chase after gold so that I can scatter it like a storm!"
It is for this reason that she is wholly incompatible with the Hero of Legend that symbolizes "an inexhaustible treasury." She would also be at odds with the fox-eared Caster, as Caster is the epitome of eternity.
As a devoted libertine, all that matters to her is the inevitable crash at the end of it all. A Legendary Spirit who is completely indifferent to the frailty of human existence, she is content to indulge in her own whims and desires until death comes to greet her.
She died of dysentery at the age of 55. Her dying wish was that she be buried in her full armor.
02 - "Franciscus Draco"
Sir Francis Drake is generally considered the first person to successfully circumnavigate the globe (the first person known to have attempted this feat -- Ferdinand Magellan -- was killed halfway through his voyage).
Though a male in life, Francis Drake has materialized in Fate/EXTRA as a woman.
During the time of Francis Drake, England was considered to be a second-rate power with no real influence beyond its borders and no colonies of worth overseas. It was primarily due to his voyages and successes on the high seas that gave rise to the British Empire. The combination of the wealth he brought to the country and the detailed maps he produced while circumnavigating the globe allowed Britain to assemble a fleet that rivaled that of Spain's.
An oft-mentioned aspect of the Drake mythos is that of his ship, the Golden Hind. Not only was it the flagship of Drake's fleet, it was seen as a symbol of hope and a source of miracles. The exploits the Golden Hind made possible elevated Drake (known and feared by the Spanish as El Draque) to a level on par with King Arthur. Both are said to dwell in Avalon and "across the ocean", the city of the dead, and will eventually return to lead England to true glory.
During what was to be the final confrontation between England and Spain's Invincible Armada, Francis Drake was commissioned as a vice admiral in the English navy. Using an unorthodox strategy involving the use of fire-ships, he forced the Spanish fleet into open water where they could be bombarded with cannon fire.
In addition - and this is merely literary creation - there is also a story full of romance in which Drake was a companion of Queen Elizabeth and, just before setting sail for the world circumnavigation, switched places with the Queen, who could no longer go out in public due to receiving a wound on her face.01 - 人物背景:
世界一周を成し遂げ、その収益でイギリスが大航海時代の覇者となる道を開いた人物。
また、強壮であったスペインの無敵艦隊を葬り去り、太陽の沈まぬ帝国と呼ばれたスペインを事実上瓦解させた。
◆
享楽主義者で、善人も悪人も区別なくあつかう性格。
とにかく派手好きで、私生活も、強壮も、嵐の様に吹きすさんだあと、何も残らないような刹那的快楽を良しとした。
金銀財宝を愛しているが、彼女が愛しているのは“永遠に続く財”ではなく“花火の様に消えていく財”。
「アタシが金貨を集めるのは嵐の様に使い切るためさね!」
とは本人の談。
そういった理由で、いかに黄金好きでも“使い切れぬ財宝”を象徴する英雄王とは相容れない。
同じ理由で永遠を定義する狐耳のキャスターとも相容れない。
◆
刹那的な快楽主義者であるため、果てにあるものは華やかな没落である。
この英霊は生(人生。人間としての意義、誇り)に執着するのではなく、死(万人共通に訪れる没落)を良しとした。
53歳の折、疫病に倒れる。
死の直前、錯乱して病床で鎧を着ようとするなどの奇行が目立ったという。
02 - 『悪魔』
フランシス・ドレイクは世界一周を生きたままなし得た人類最初の偉人である。
(一人目のマゼランは途中で死去)
史実では男性だが、EXTRAでのドレイクは女性として現れている。
◆
当時、技術的にはそれなりでも国力に乏しく、まともな海外植民地も持たない二等国だったイギリス。
彼らが世界に冠たる大英帝国として生まれ変わったきっかけは、ドレイクが成した航海からだ。
彼女が帰還後に積載していた香料だけでも6トンはあったとされており、これは当時のイギリスの国家予算を遥かに超えていた。
この財貨と世界周航で得られた詳細な地図が、世界の覇者スペインと戦いうるだけの艦隊をそろえる資金となり、東インド会社を設立させる基盤になった。
……もし世界を変える存在を定義するなら、この船は間違いなくその定義に該当する存在だろう。
ドレイクの船、黄金の鹿号は単なる一隻の船ではなく、そういった奇跡を成しえた希望の船なのだ。
この事もあって、エルドラゴ(フランシス・ドレイク)はイギリスの未来の王・アーサー王と同一視されることもあった。
冥界(アヴァロン、海の彼方)から帰還し、英国に勝利を約束する存在となった為である。
スペインの無敵艦隊との決戦時、フランシス・ドレイクは英国艦隊の副司令官として参戦。
火船と呼ばれる特殊な戦法を用い、スペインの英国征服艦隊を上陸させることなく大敗させた。
この事から、ドレイクはスペイン人からこう呼ばれた。
悪魔。
「太陽の沈まぬ王国」を歴史の盟主から引きずり落とした、太陽を落とした女、と。
……また、あくまで創作にすぎないが、ドレイクはエリザベス女王とは何度か交友があり、世界一周航海の直前、顔に傷を負った為に人前に出られなくなった女王と入れ替わった―――などという、浪漫あふれる話もある。 - ↑ 6.0 6.1 6.2 Fate/Extra Last Encore - Episode 03: The Night of the Golden Hind and the Storm -Golden Wild Hunt-
