Saber (セイバー, Seibā?) is a Saber-class Servant able to be summoned by the Protagonist in the Grand Orders of Fate/Grand Order.
Profile
Identity
Saber's True Name is Gilles de RaisWP (ジル・ド・レェWP, Jiru do Rei?), the heroic aspect not normally summoned due to the corrupted aspect having more notoriety as "BluebeardWP" (青髭WP, Ao hige?). [3][2][4] He was a French nobleman, ranked as a baron, and member of the military during the 15th century.[3][2][4] He had a vast fortune, buying up many works of art, and it seemed to many that it would never deplete.[2] His apex land holdings eventually exceeded those held by the Duke of BrittanyWP and could be regarded as a threat to the king.[5] He became a national hero during the Hundred Years WarWP while serving under the Jeanne d'Arc after helping to recapture OrleansWP, and he was given the highest honor with the title of Marshal of FranceWP.[2] Both were present at the coronation ceremony of King CharlesWP, decorated as saviors and national heroes, and it became a memory that forever encapsulated his glory that even his corruption could not overwhelm.[6] Gilles viewed Jeanne as the basis for everything to him, his sole salvation and the proof that God existed, so his pious heart fell into despair after Jeanne was executed as a heretic.[3][2]
Gilles before his execution ("The Execution of Gilles de Rais")
Gilles wasted his seemingly endless fortune extremely quickly to the point where his public finances were almost entirely depleted, so he started to get involved with alchemy with his friend François Prelati, a cleric, to make up for the financial burdens.[3][2][5] As he went into madness over the loss of Joan, he began to perform cruel deeds to prove that God is absent because he should punish such actions, losing sight of his monetary problems in dabbling in alchemy and instead concentrating on the aspect of the black magic of summoning demons.[3] François was the primary magus in charge of the rituals, Gilles having no true knowledge of the craft and only acting as a patron.[5] He started to abduct young boys from the area of his domain, raping and slaughtering them by the hundreds, which eventually made him the model for fairy tale "Bluebeard."[3][4]
Despite the atrocities, others only feared that he would sell his domains to an enemy nation for the purpose of raising money, so they convicted and executed him for his blasphemy and cruel deeds only for the political pretenses of seizing his territory in 1440.[3] Due to the nobles of the era disregarding the human rights of commoners, they felt the populations of their territories were no more than disposable livestock. They equated their slaughter to no more than animal abuse and would not have even dealt with Gilles had his land holdings not been so large and had he not been so recently wasteful.[5] It could be said he who "couldn't help but hold suspicions against God exactly because he extolled God too much and infatuated himself with scornfully cursing God" was "finally destroyed without being judged by God."[3]
Appearance
A somewhat skinny lady-killer. At the times when his tension was still low.[2]
Personality
With a honest and valorous personality. He is a lover of art. For Gilles de Rais, the holy woman Jeanne D'arc was everything. One could say that she herself was the sole salvation in this depraved reality and, at the same time, the proof of God's existence for Gilles. Reality is bitter. The time to fall in darkness has come. The past shall never change. Regardless how much of an outstanding military man he is, it does not change the fact he is also a serial killer. However, even still he must continue to seek redemption forever.[2]
Role
Fate/Apocrypha
Gilles killing children in front of Ruler.
After Caster of Red shows Ruler illusions of her past through the use of First Folio, Caster changes to a different scene, a scene after her execution in her lifetime and therefore story. Caster of Red changes the scene to Gilles's castle, a scene which caused Ruler to think weird. Caster of Red shows Ruler with visions of Gilles de Rais's tale. Caster of Red changes his method and summons Gilles de Rais via his Noble Phantasm and the support of Hanging Gardens of Babylon and Assassin of Red, Caster of Red takes the soul of Gilles and given him a body. Ruler witnessed Gilles killing children but says it is just a hallucination. Caster of Red corrects Ruler saying it is actually real, Gilles is seen gripping onto a boy with silver hair. Gilles talks about how this happened to him because she abandoned him. After witnessing the atrocities Gilles had committed, Ruler started to break down. Gilles tell her that she's a saint who tried to treat everyone equally, even Pierre CauchonWP. Gilles pointed out that she was not honest about her feelings for Sieg, Ruler denies it and says she only assisted him because he needed help. Gilles then says that Assassin of Black needed help and she killed her. He then adds that how it is obvious she loves him, that her universal love for humanity is just a lie. Ruler says that she doesn't love him because she doesn't have the right to love. After all she is the Maid of Orleans, Jeanne La Pucelle.
Caster of Red and Gilles both claps and tells her, she has done a good job. Caster of Red cancels the illusion and took her out so Shirou Kotomine could talk to her. However Gilles is still in the real world as well. They tell her that Sieg died fighting against Lancer of Red. Ruler uses her presence detection to confirm and finds that Saber of Black is gone. She starts crying saying because she got him into this mess she was really the one who killed him. Shirou comes in and talks about how he wants to give everyone Third Magic so they won't end up like Gilles who changed because she died. To prove that point Gilles changes into his form from Fate/Zero. Gilles talks about how the children can't be saved so he has to atone by saving the world.
Then Ruler and Gilles have a debate about saving the world. Ruler manages to convince Gilles to repent and aid her. However she has complete belief in him anyway. Gilles doesn't have a status as Ruler saw him with her True Name Discernment skill. Physically he's weaker than a Caster-Class servant and he's weaker than his counterpart in the Fourth Holy Grail War. Ruler gives Gilles her Flag to protect Sieg while she's casting her La Pucelle. Gilles uses this to protect both Ruler and Sieg against Shirou's meteors.
Fate/Grand Order
Orleans: The Wicked Dragon Hundred Years War
Gilles appears as a secondary character in the Orleans Singularity, where he leads the french army in an effort to take France back Jeanne Alter. He attempts to lead Lyon with his army and take back the city from Jeanne Alter's minions. However, his army are attacked by wyverns while on route to Lyon, but Jeanne (who just left Lyon with Ritsuka's group after saving ]]Siegfried]]) goes to help them. Gilles soon orders his army to launch their artillery at the wyverns, which gives Jeanne the oppurtunity to attack Carmilla, who retreats with Sanson. After the group kills Lancelot, Gilles attempts to speak with Jeanne to confirm her identity as the real Jeanne d'Arc, but she decides not to answer so as to not endanger his position. As he watches the group leave, Gilles decides that he and his men must reexamine everything they know of the "Dragon Witch"; questioning if her actions were that of an evil impostor of Jeanne. Gilles and his army later aid Ritsuka's group when they battle against Jeanne Alter's group. After Ritsuka's group defeat Gilles (Caster), Gilles arrives in Orlean's palace, where he is overjoyed to see Jeanne. However, she tells him that the history of her being executed and him mourning her death will not change, but she hopes that in different form they'll fight together again. Hearing her words, Gilles realizes that Jeanne, even in death, still cares for France; asking her forgiveness for France betraying her.
SABER WARS – Lily’s Cosmic Training – The Caliburn Awakens
Salomon: The Grand Time Temple
He is amongst the Orleans Singularity Servant to assist the Chaldea against Demon Gods Pillar.[7]
Interlude
In his interlude Sword of the Saint, Gilles has Ritsuka and Mash accompany him back to France in order to retrieve Jeanne's sword. The group then goes to Orlèans, believing the sword may be there, but they encounter possessed corpses. After defeating initial group of corpses, Gilles decides that finding the source of their possession is currently more crucial than finding the sword. With Fou's help the group find the sword as well as strong magical presence powerful enough to create another singularity if left unchecked. However, a shadow Servant forms when they try to take the sword, but it is defeated by them. Retrieving Jeanne's sword, Gilles tells Ritsuka that while Jeanne never drew her sword, she carried her army's sins with her. He then vows to not anyone draw the sword but her until the day she'll have to draw it herself.
Abilities
In most Holy Grail Wars, Gilles is summoned not as a Saber, but as a Caster. This is probably caused by how his bad name as Bluebeard is more well-known around the world.[2]
Saber's Noble Phantasm is Saint War Order and Prelati's Spellbook.
His Skills are Military Tactics, Golden Rule, and Mad Enhancement, an oddity for a Saber that represents his ever-present hatred of Jeanne's Death.
Prelati's Inspiration (プレラーティの激励, Purerāti no Gekirei?) is a skill that Gilles receives encouragement from Prelati. It takes the form of STR reinforcement via magecraft but as a cost, his memories of his life after Jeanne's death becomes more and more distinct.[1]

Profile

Interlude
This man, who couldn't help but hold suspicions against God exactly because he extolled God too much and infatuated himself with scornfully curse God, was finally destroyed without being judged by God.

[] Fate/Zero material - Encyclopedia: Gilles de Rais [Servant], p.097-098 Gilles de Rais [Servant]
A nobleman from 15th Century France. As a leader in the French army, he fought alongside Jeanne d'Arc to put an end to the Hundred Years War, and was hailed as a hero who saved his country. But soon after he returned to his territory, he began kidnapping, raping, and killing young boys one after another, eventually coming to be feared as the villain "Bluebeard".
However, it was all-too-common in that era for nobles to disregard the human rights of commoners and treat the populations of their territories as disposable livestock. So, under normal circumstances even killing them en masse shouldn't have been treated as anything more serious than animal abuse. But unfortunately for Gilles, he had an enormous amount of land holdings at the time, far exceeding those held by the Duke of Brittany, and enough to be regarded as a threat by the king himself. On top of that, due to his mind-boggling wastefulness in his private life, his public finances were almost entirely depleted, and there were apprehensions that he may try to sell his land to enemy nations. As a result, he was condemned and executed for his crimes as a pretext for seizing control of his assets.
As for Gilles' relation to sorcery, he turned to alchemy in an attempt to relieve his financial difficulties, and eventually strayed down a dark path that led him to try summoning a demon. But while it's certainly true that he participated in the ceremony, the actual magus was his friend François Prelati – Gilles himself was nothing more than a patron. As such, he is not a Heroic Spirit that qualifies for the Caster class. Or rather, he is not even a proper Heroic Spirit at all. The fact that Ryuunosuke's bogus ritual ended up actually completing a summoning sorcery was, honestly, more or less a total fluke. In that sense, the "Caster" Gilles de Rais is just as much of an irregular Servant as the "Assassin" Sasaki Kojirou.ジル・ド・レエ【サーヴァント】
15世紀フランスの貴族。フランス元帥としてジャンヌ・ダルクとともに百年戦争を終結させ、救国の英雄と讃えられた。が、自らのl領地に戻ってからは、近隣の少年を次々と持致しては陵辱・惨殺するという所行を繰り返し、一転して『青髭』の異名で恐れられるようになる。
ただし当時の一般常識に照らして言えば、そもそも貴族が平民の人権について理解を示すこと自体が希であり、領主が領民を家畜同然に扱うのは当然。たとえ虐殺したとしても犬猫の虐待とそう変わらない程度の非道としか見なされなかった。ジルの不幸は、当時の彼の所領の総資産がブルターニュ公のそれを遥かに凌駕する規模のものであり、国王にすら脅威と見なされるものだった点である。なおかつ私生活における極度の浪費癖から、ジルの財政そのものは完全に破綻しており、ともすれば領土を敵国に売り渡す可能性すら危惧されていた。結果、その領地を没収する口実としてジ
ルは平素の悪行を断罪され、処刑されることになる。
ジルと魔術との接点は、財政難を賄うための金策として始めた錬金術が、迷走の末に悪魔召喚に至ったという世知辛い経緯によるものであり、たしかにジル自身も儀式に参加はしたが、真に魔術師
と呼ぶべきは彼の友人であり導師であったフランソワ・プレラーティの方で、ジルはあくまでそのパトロンに過ぎなかった。本来であればジルはキャスターのクラスに適合する英霊ではない。という
