Servants (サーヴァント, Sāvanto?) are Spirits summoned by the Holy Grail for the purpose of competing under Masters in the Holy Grail War.[1]
Characteristics[]
Servants are Spirits made into special Familiars of the highest rank, referred to as Ghost Liners by the Mage's Association, that are bound to the Master. Typically Heroic Spirits under most systems, they can also sometimes be Divine Spirits, Phantoms, Wraiths, and living people depending on various circumstances.
Pure Heroic Spirits, the "main body" in the Throne of Heroes, can only be summoned by the World, and summoning even one is considered to be a miraculous occurrence. Differing from the normal definition of Familiars that can be likened to minor mascots unable to be stronger than their masters, Heroic Spirits are the most powerful of beings with which even the five Magicians would never be able to forge a contract with. Rather than it being a hard process to summon them or the fact that they far surpass Magi, it is their intrinsic nature in that they are beings beyond Magecraft.
Magi can perform rituals to borrow their power to mimic them, such as using Spiritual Evocation's Partial Access[2] and Trance Mediumship,[3] but cannot summon actual Heroic Spirits themselves.[4][5] Even then, the technique to momentarily borrow a part of such a power is extraordinarily hard to do.[6]
Even the Holy Grail lacks the power to summon a true Heroic Spirit, so the process is facilitated by summoning them into one of seven vessels prepared beforehand.[7] The Greater Grail makes a copy using information from the "main body" of the Heroic Spirit, an "emanation", that returns to them as information, in the form of a soul, upon the death of the Servant. Disconnected from the "main body", they are able to know of the actions of the Servant through records, as if reading a book.[1]
Similarly as to how Daemons require a form invented by humans in order to take shape, Heroic Spirits need a form to exist in the world. The vessels, Classes, act as their temporary name and method of existing. Acting like a "passport to the present", the vessel prepares them for their role as a Familiar in advance, allows them to take on that role to help them take form, and brings them forth into the world. Each Class identifies only the core Skills of the Heroic Spirit because replication of all their abilities is impossible. Their main traits align with the Class and are given form, matching the principal nature of the Class.[8] Only heroes matching the attributes of the Classes are brought forth, allowing them to be summoned into any reflecting their abilities.
Although too powerful to be controlled by humans, they are bound by three Command Spells, representing the Masters' "right to rule" over them, with obedience towards the Command Spells being the "absolute condition required for materialization."[7]
Due to the prospect of having a wish granted by the Holy Grail, it also serves as an incentive to cooperate with the Master, as well as requiring them for Magical Energy upkeep and acting as their anchor to the world. Killing them will normally go against their purpose, but the Command Spells protect the Master from those who would kill them to seek out one who would be more suitable.
Origin[]
The Ritual: Heroic Spirit Summon (儀式・英霊召喚, Gishiki: Eirei Shōkan?) is a ritual by the Planet to summon "humanity's strongest seven Heroic Spirits," Grand Servants, to fight against "a single powerful enemy," such as the Beasts.
Ritual: Holy Grail War (儀式・聖杯戦争, Gishiki: Seihai Sensō?) is a derivative of that ritual, alterering the spell to be used by humans for the sake of wishing on a Holy Grail. It took the concept of "seven powers against one" and turned it into "seven Heroic Spirits fighting one another." In comparison to the Grand Servants, the resulting Servants are described as "cheap, convenient, multi-purpose Familiars" by Andersen.[9]
Class Name[]
The Class Name (クラス名, Kurasu-mei?) of a Servant is the name by which they are referred in a Holy Grail War. Corresponding to their Class, the Master will typically refer to them only by that name to avoid exposing their True Name.
True Name[]
The True Name (真名, Shinmei?) of a Servant is something vital to battle, as it can reveal much about them. They most often have their Masters refer to them solely by their class name unless they do not care like Jack the Ripper, wish to have a closer connection to their Master like Tamamo-no-Mae after she reveals her identity, or are under circumstances where it no longer matters like those trapped in the Sakura Labyrinth. There are Servants and Masters with extreme confidence or no filter in revealing their True Names for all to hear, such as Iskander exclaiming his name without regard and Illyasviel von Einzbern having supreme confidence in Heracles even with his name revealed.
Their names can reveal certain traits about their abilities, allowing for specific countermeasures, and there are many famous heroes that had met untimely deaths in life. Those killed by poison will be more susceptible to it, those shot down by arrows will be weak against them, those with weak spots will be severely disadvantaged if they are targeted, and those with traits like being weak to monster-slayers or Dragon-slaying weapons can be specifically damaged in accordance.
Even without such a specific countermeasure being available to one Master, releasing that information to the other Masters can allow for other countermeasures to be brought forth. Most Masters should know instantly of their own Servants' identities, but something like Secret of Pedigree can block even that, and the refusal of a Servant to disclose it can keep them from knowing. In the case of a weak Master susceptible to mind control, they may forgo telling them altogether until necessary.
Famous heroes like King Arthur and Siegfried are very likely to have their identities found out more easily than others, with simply glancing upon Excalibur being enough for any Heroic Spirit to identify King Arthur. Others need to utilize their Noble Phantasms before they reveal themselves, but it may require deductive reasoning even then. While the oldest legendary hero Gilgamesh is able to show off his Noble Phantasms without many being able to guess his identity, and despite his belief that his identity should be obvious to others, he generally discloses it himself.[10]
Someone like EMIYA, being a Counter Guardian from the future and displaying numerous Noble Phantasms with Unlimited Blade Works, is a complete anomaly to others, greatly confusing all who fight him with his contradictory traits that do not match any known hero. There are also those without specific weaknesses whose True Names will bring no trouble if revealed, like Astolfo.[11]
There may be slight variations to the True Names depending on different circumstances:
Body[]
Although Servants are beings of Ether that do not get energy from oxygen, they are given forms similar to air-breathing lifeforms, allowing them to "carry out pulmonary respiration as a land type endoskeleton life form." Though they do not require oxygen to function, the lack of air from suffocation can halt their Magical Energy cycle. Though they can likely endure more than a human, they will eventually reach their limit if enough time passes.[12] Differing from the normal blood of humans, the blood of Servants is the Magical Energy that drives their Saint Graph.[13] The bodies of Servants can still be affected and killed by fatal amounts of radiation despite being spiritual lifeforms.[14]
While some Servants exercise for recreation, their body of Ether is unaffected aside from generating sweat.[15] If a Servant's body part is severed, it can remain in the world so long as the Servant's Spiritual Core is intact. If it is given another source of Magical Energy before the Servant fades away, it can remain in the world afterward.[16]
Appearance[]
Heroic Spirits will most often take the form that represents their golden age at the prime of their lives, but effects like those of a strong curse or a personal attachment to the form can change that to even their selves from just before death.[17] Certain wounds, conditions, and illnesses may remain should they be "something indispensable" for their origin, such as Nero Claudius's migraines as the Skill Migraine,[18] Okita Souji's tuberculosis as the Skill Weak Constitution,[19] and Beni-enma's severed tongue.[20]
Once a Servant has been summoned in a Holy Grail War, it is possible for them to retain items from the war, such as Cú Chulainn's makeshift spear from the Second Tokyo Holy Grail War[21] or Artoria's lion plush given to her by Shirou Emiya.[22]
If a Servant is summoned or altered in an abnormal way, that self is recorded. Amakusa Shirou Tokisada says that his summoning in the Ruler-class is a right he gained after his Master forced him into the class, but summoning him without an urgent matter would be almost impossible.[23]
Skills like Mad Enhancement, Mental Pollution, and Innocent Monster can influence their forms and personalities when summoned as Servants, changing them drastically depending on how they were perceived in life or after death. The preference of the Master and suitability for certain Servant classes may also affect them. It also may be the case that how history recorded them became distorted, such as Astolfo appearing feminine when history calls him the "most handsome" of his peers, Alexander the Great being very tall when history recorded him as shorter than average, and those of an opposite gender from their legends.
For those of an opposite gender from recorded history, Chaldea Security Organization notes the phenomenon happens quite frequently, citing lost or misrecorded history, the body representing a unit of Servants rather than an individual person, and other unique cases. Such cases typically come from eras where records are sparse, so the idea of it happening with a famed person from modern history who left behind photographs, self-portraits, and personal anecdotes is seen with suspicion. Chaldea's speculation on such a case would be someone deluded into believing they are the individual, an abnormal Saint Graph, or simply a lie about their True Name.[13]
- Artist Servants - Mozart's opinion is that artist Servants can only be summoned in two states, their selves as children and their selves as young adults. He declares they can appear in no other age, stating that their peak represents the height of their "genius." For those summoned as children, he states, "The ones who appear as children grew up to be decent, dignified adults. That's why they manifest as 'children,' when they were called geniuses. Child prodigies who didn't care about the problems they caused." As the talents of an artist originates from their instinct, they are summoned at the point said instincts were their strongest, their state as "pure geniuses." For young adults, Mozart states, "Those ones are weirdos and scum, who would never change until the day they die!" Romani Archaman states that such a declaration is convincing coming from Mozart.[24]
- Elizabeth Báthory - Elizabeth is summoned as the unwed daughter of house Báthory, and Innocent Monster brings out the qualities of her Dragon blood.[25]
- Hans Christian Andersen - Summoned in the form of a young boy for an unknown reason, he attributes it to either being the point where he was "most overflowing with sensitivity" or possibly the preference of his Master, Kiara Sessyoin. Innocent Monster causes him to take on a number of attributes from his stories.
- Jack the Ripper (Berserker) - Having never been revealed to the public, this form of Jack the Ripper can take on the forms of any of the multitude of theories behind the murders.
- King Arthur - King Arthur is a special case in that she is not yet deceased as of her summoning. Taken directly from when she makes the Contract with the World, she is different from regular true Heroic Spirits.
- Li Shuwen - Normally older after having discovered in life that his true strength was that of his convictions, his Master wishing for a stealthy Servant brings forth his younger self with traits more suited to his Assassin class.[26]
- Medusa - While she appears in the human state from before her descent as a monster, she is just the Gorgon in human form. Sides of herself can become those of a monster at any time, mirrored by her Monstrous Strength Skill.[27]
- Nursery Rhyme - Takes on the form of its Master's projected feelings.
- Hassan of the Hundred Faces - While a single being in life, his Noble Phantasm Zabaniya: Delusional Illusion has separated him into many different entities that wish to have a unified personality.
- Vlad III - Strongly influenced by both his heroic deeds in Romania and the attribution of Dracula to his legend, he has been shown in two different states. Innocent Monster greatly applies the status of Dracula to him, while being summoned in Romania greatly emphasizes his heroic aspects.
Manifestation[]
Servants are beings able to switch between a Spiritual Body and Material Body at will. While in spiritual form, they cannot be easily detected by enemies due to being invisible to the naked eye and most forms of scrying, or be affected by physical interference. They can travel where they please without being impeded by walls, but they also cannot carry anything in that state. Their senses are limited to spiritual sensations, so they must materialize in order to fully experience normal senses when sharing a visual link with their Master. Their upkeep cost is low when not materialized, so many Masters prefer them to stay in spirit form when they are not fighting or doing other tasks that require them to be in physical form to lower the cost on themselves. Depending on the disposition of the Servant or a special case like Artoria Pendragon, such an order may be impossible. It is also hard for them to affect a Material Body in that state, so they must materialize to properly engage in combat.
While they may bleed and take damage to their organs, their true being resides in a Spiritual Core (霊核, Reikaku?) they obtain upon first materializing. The Spiritual Core is described as "their center, their heart, their CPU" that dictates their every function.[28]
Their Material Body envelopes the core, and damage must be inflicted to it in order for them to be defeated. It gradually diminishes under Magical Energy expenditure and while sustaining bodily damage, and their expenditure will escalate under such conditions. If it is damaged through powerful Magical Energy, curses, or Noble Phantasms, it will be destroyed, meaning that the Servant can no longer stay materialized. The heart and head are directly connected to it, so they are a Servant's greatest weaknesses. Sustaining damage will significantly weaken it, with some Servants having it instantly destroyed and some with Skills like Battle Continuation being able to at least temporarily sustain themselves.[29][30]
While they have Material Bodies like humans, the composition is drastically different. They are of a much higher magnitude, so it is normally impossible for portions to be transplanted onto a human. Shirou Emiya is able to obtain Archer's arm due to them being the same person.[31] Normally the recipient would die of shock, but being even closer than twins allows the surgery to succeed, although Shirou needs to wear the Shroud of Martin to supress the negative effects Archer's arm would have on his body. It is still too much for him even in that case, so being connected to it slowly kills him. Sieg, a Homunculus, obtains Siegfried's heart, gaining the ability to transform and have a longer lifespan, yet his body is consumed by memories of Siegfried until it is no longer the same, ending up transforming into a Dragon.
Erice Utsumi, through her Dread Spirits, can use her power to rip out a Servant's Saint Graph, killing them. The Saint Graph blackens and becomes one with Erice's branch, and Servants killed in this way do not return to the Throne of Heroes, so if a new copy of them is summoned they will not remember the experiences of the version that was killed.[28]
Upkeep[]
Servants must maintain a certain amount of Magical Energy to remain materialized and fight, and they must have an anchor to the world, their Master or another physical being in order to remain in the world. Their current strength is reflected by their current stores of Magical Energy, so they will lose strength as they lose Magical Energy. The Holy Grail itself provides most of the upkeep for Servants during the duration of the Holy Grail War, so Masters, granted Magical Paths to supply Magical Energy, do not need to provide vast amounts of Magical Energy normally.
More Magical Energy intensive Servants like A-rank Servants and Berserker-class Servants can still pose a great threat should they not have the ability to provide their upkeep, even draining them to death in the case of Berserkers. Those who are cognizant are able to throttle the Magical Energy they intake, keeping their output to a minimum or using only their own stores when their Masters are unable to provide their full cost.
If the Servant is without a Master, has issues with the Magical Paths, or has a Master unable to supply Magical Energy, they must supplement themselves elsewhere. As Human Spirits, they have the ability to consume the Souls and minds of people and convert them into Magical Energy. Their basic abilities do not change from such nourishment, but they become tougher as their Magical Energy capacity increases. They can also intake semen or blood for energy depending on their method of processing it. Places like Ryuudou Temple can naturally allow them to subside longer, and draining directly from Ley Lines is possible for some.
With a full stock of Magical Energy, they can subside for a time even with the constant cost of upkeep, and they regain some Magical Energy from their own Magic Circuits daily. Remaining in spiritual form can decrease their upkeep, and while in material form, dematerializing weapons and armor can help cut it somewhat. Food can be converted to supply some Magical Energy, and sleeping can stop the consumption. This only helps when no action is taken due to even a single battle using upwards of twenty times as much Magical Energy as simply existing, so such methods are only stop-gaps compared to taking in souls.
Servants do not need to eat food, but food can be converted into Magical Energy to slightly offset energy consumption.[32] Many Servants, especially those who are royalty, choose to do so for recreational purposes.[33] In the case of a Servant possessing a human body directly like Jeanne d'Arc, she needs to eat due to the high amount of calories she burns as a Servant affecting the body's energy, but the human body will not die from starvation.[34] Servants can become intoxicated from alcohol consumption.[35]
Servants do not need to sleep, but they can sleep in their physical body as a means of reducing Magical Energy consumption if they cannot or refuse to return to spiritual form.[33][36] For Artoria Pendragon who cannot receive Magical Energy or return to spiritual form in the Fifth Fuyuki Holy Grail War, sleeping combined with her natural regeneration of Magical Energy give her a small surplus of energy if she doesn't battle.[37] They do not posses the function to dream like humans, but the Master and Servant connection can allow some Master and Servant pairs to see past memories of each other in the form of dreams.[38]
Even having a full supply will not help a Servant should they lose their anchor to the world with the loss of their Master, so they must quickly seek out another contract. While normally not much of a burden, their Magical Energy noticeably drains by the second without one. Depending on the amount of Magical Energy and upkeep cost, they may only be able to stay materialized for a brief time. Artoria Pendragon can manage only two hours, while Medea can last two days with a full supply of Magical Energy.
Those with Independent Action are able to subside without Master support far longer than others, allowing them a better chance to seek out another contract. Much like the class container, their anchor is a "passport to the current age", so losing that will mean being forced to return to the "outside." They cannot form proper contracts with other Servants, as Spirits cannot link Spirits to the World. Medea is able to summon Sasaki Kojirou, but it is an improper summoning with several complications; rather than her being his anchor, it is the mountain gate, so Assassin cannot leave the area. Without a Master, they are no different than regular Spirits and may be affected by the Holy Church's Scripture.
It is possible to remain materialized as a normal Familiar after the Holy Grail War ends, but it greatly increases the cost without active support from the Holy Grail. Rin Tohsaka, a superior Magus, has no issue in providing for Artoria Pendragon's upkeep, Noble Phantasm usage, and Shirou Emiya's Reality Marble at the same time during the Holy Grail War, but in-turn requires the majority of her Magical Energy and Shirou's help in keeping Saber materialized after it ends in Unlimited Blade Works.
The only one easily able to maintain a Servant is Sakura Matou after becoming the Lesser Grail in Heaven's Feel, granting her a limitless supply that easily allows her to maintain Medusa.
Gilgamesh incarnating allows him to exist indefinitely by granting him A+ Independent Action, allowing him to exist for ten years with no issues. Amakusa Shirou Tokisada becomes incarnated through another method, allowing him to exist for about sixty years. Chaldean Servants can be maintained for an essentially infinite amount of time due to the combination of an advanced Magical Energy Reactor and Merlin providing a link to Avalon's Mana,[39] and are furthermore able to retain far more Magical Energy than they could if they were summoned through other methods.
Classification[]
- Main article: Class
Heroic Spirits summoned by the Holy Grail are placed into one of various Classes (クラス, Kurasu?). The seven standard classes are the Three Knight (三騎士, Sankishi?) classes of Saber, Lancer, Archer, and the Four Cavalry (四騎, Shiki?) classes of Rider, Caster, Assassin, and Berserker.[40] There are also non-standard Extra Classes (エクストラクラス, Ekusutora Kurasu?) that are "split off from the regular servant classes in order to take on certain roles", such as Ruler which oversees the Holy Grail War.[41]
Sherlock Holmes posits that due to Heroic Spirits being a concept irrespective to the existence of Classes formed for the Holy Grail Wars that not all cases of Heroic Spirits can fit into the mold of the Class system. While the Extra Classes can lessen the chance, he says that the amount of Heroic Spirits forced into Classes under which they do not belong will not be zero. This could lead to potential strain on the Servant, such as Florence Nightingale, where they are unable to deduce if her mentality reflects that of her mindset in life or a characteristic granted solely by the Berserker class. The latter case could lead to strain on her mind and Saint Graph.[42]
Under the Fuyuki-based rituals, it is said that only the Three Knight classes will definitely be summoned according to the framework of the ritual, allowing for variation in the rest of the classes. Classes are said to have occasionally changed between the various Fuyuki Holy Grail Wars, but the Three Knight classes will never be replaced by Extra Classes.[43] More than one version of the same class cannot be summoned, even if all the Masters were to use the variation in the summoning chant to get a Berserker-class Servant for example.[44] Within the framework of the False Holy Grail War, the Saber-class does not even exist. Other systems like the Moon Holy Grail War, Chaldea system, and "After" the Holy Grail War allow for the summoning of hundreds of Servants, so there is no restriction on multiple classes.
Servants are normally only of the singular class under which they are summoned, but certain circumstances allow for multiple classes at once or class changes.
- Within Chaldea Security Organization, the Servant Saint Graphs are able to be self-modified in certain circumstances.
- The Skill Double Summon allows for two classes to be utilized simultaneously, limited only to the Cavalry classes and "modern classes" like Gunner.
- The Skill Double Class denotes a Servant formed from the fusion of two others, but provides "No actual benefits in particular."
- The Berserk status is able to be added to a Servant to grant a Berserker-like mindset.
- Within the Class Card system, Berserker Class Inheritance confers the status of Berserker on another card.
- Elizabeth Báthory and Li Shuwen undergo unconventional changes to the Berserker class in the Moon Holy Grail War.
Some Servants possess the innate ability to switch classes:
- Assassin Servant Henry Jekyll and Berserker Servant Hyde can switch between each other at will with their Noble Phantasm Dangerous Game.
- Saber Gilles de Rais has the potential to turn into his Caster self through the usage of Prelati's Spellbook.
- Atalanta Alter, summoned in the status of using her Noble Phantasm Agrius Metamorphosis, will return to her Archer self if the Noble Phantasm is forcibly peeled off.
- Tokugawa Ieyasu naturally possesses the ability to switch between all seven standard classes.
- Jack the Ripper's Saint Graph will change and he will cease to be a Berserker if his true identity is revealed.
Standard Classes[]
- The seven servant classes summoned during a Holy Grail War.
- Saber: Servants placed within this class have high parameters and are powerful melee warriors armed with swords. It is commonly assumed to be the best class overall. The class skills of this class are Magic Resistance and Riding.
- Lancer: Servants placed within this class are very agile and skilled with long-range melee weapons, such as spears, lances, etc. The class skill of this class is Magic Resistance.
- Archer: Servants placed within this class are usually proficient with projectiles and can survive longer without a Master nearby due to their special class skill Independent Action; the strongest Archers can be difficult to control at times, in fact, due to their near-total independence from their "Masters". The class skills of this class are Magic Resistance and Independent Action.
- Rider: Servants placed within this class place emphasis upon speed and powerful Noble Phantasms, which often include their mounts. Their special class skill is Riding, which allows them to fully utilize abilities of their mounts (which can range from simple horses to mechanical vehicles to divine or supernatural creatures). The class skills of this class are Magic Resistance and Riding.
- Caster: Servants placed within this class are adept in Magecraft and have a special Class skill akin to a Reality Marble, called Territory Creation, which alters or creates space around them to enhance their sorcery. The class skills of this class are Item Construction and Territory Creation.
- Assassin: Servants placed within this class are proficient in assassination and stealth. Within certain wars, only Hassan-i-Sabbah can be summoned due to the etymology of the word "Assassin" acting as a catalyst. The Assassins' special Class skill is Presence Concealment, which allows them to remain undetected. Offset by their stealth is their moderate combat skills. Due to this, Assassins often target Masters instead of Servants. The class skill of this class is Presence Concealment.
- Berserker: Servants placed within this class are always heroes who have gone berserk in their lifetime or fight recklessly. This trait allows them to use the special Class skill Mad Enhancement, which trades their consciousness (i.e. sanity) for a large power boost. Most Masters are incapable of controlling their Servant once Mad Enhancement has been activated, which eventually results in their death. The class skill of this class is Mad Enhancement.
Extra Classes[]
- Servant classes that are summoned as a result of unconventional circumstances.
- Ruler: Servants placed within this class govern the Holy Grail Wars and are summoned by the grail directly due to situations that could threaten the war, they are granted rights of an administrator and Command Spells. While typically saints are summoned into it while managing wars related to the Holy Grail, others can be summoned into the class if they are impartial. The class skills of this class are Magic Resistance, Item Construction, God's Resolution and True Name Discernment.
- Avenger: Servants of this class can be summoned by tampering with The Holy Grail’s summoning ritual, Servants placed within this class are driven by revenge that did not fade even after their deaths. The class skills of this class are Magic Resistance, Avenger, Oblivion Correction and Self-Replenishment (Mana).
- MoonCancer: Servants placed in this class are described as irregulars that threaten the world of the moon. The class skills of this class Magic Resistance vary between servants with the only skill shared among all of them being Territory Creation.
- Alter Ego: Servants placed within this class are beings split away from the Saint Graph of another and now act independently from their original selves. A phenomenon where one persona of that Heroic Spirit gains independence as a separate entity. The class skills of this class vary between servants.
- Pretender: Servants placed within this class are those who became heroic spirits while pretending to be someone else in life, they are masters of deception, and are able to deceive the World itself with their lies. Among other effects, this allows them to disguise themselves as another Class and even use that Class's Skills.
- Foreigner: Servants placed within this class are those who have survived being connected to the Outer Gods that exist outside the universe, and wield strange powers tied to their otherworldly patrons. Such Servants are rarely summoned, as they can inadvertently act as a path for the Outer Gods to enter the world for their own incomprehensible purposes. The class skill of this class is Existence Outside the Domain.
- Shielder: Servants placed within this class primarily utilize a shield and excel in defensive techniques. The class skills of this class are Magic Resistance, Riding and Self-Field Defense.
- Faker: Servants placed within this class are represented by fakes, summoning counterfeits and body doubles. The class skills of this class are Independent Action and Camouflage.
- Watcher: Servants placed within this class have some function of observing their Master for a greater purpose. The class skills of this class are Magic Resistance and Territory Infringement.
- Saver: Servants placed within this class are "Messiah" type Servants. The class skills of this class are Charisma and Counter Hero.
- Non-classed: Some temporary Servants, like the army summoned into Ionioi Hetairoi, are Servants without a class. Gilgamesh during Fate/EXTRA CCC is beyond being confined to a class, so he does not have one.

- Tiger (タイガー, Taigā?) is the name Taiga Fujimura gives herself in the Hanafuda scenario, but Illya just decides to turn it into "Taiga".
Mental[]
Alignment[]
- Main article: Alignment
All Servants have an AlignmentWP (属性, Zokusei?), a status showing a clear representation of the mentality of the Servant, differing from the elemental alignment of Magi.
It is broken down into two parts, a combination of the principles they consider important to their personality. Principles are reflected as Chaotic (混沌/渾沌, Konton/Konton?), Lawful (秩序, Chitsujo?), and Neutral (中立, Chūritsu?, "True"), and their personalities are reflected as Good (善, Zen?), Evil (悪, Waru?), and Neutral (中庸, Chūyō?).
Other personalities include Summer (夏, Natsu?) and Bride (花嫁, Hanayome?).Berserker Servants have also displayed Insane (狂化, Kyōka?) as a "principle", and Mad (狂, Kyō?) and Reckless (暴走, Bōsō?) as their "personalities." Differences in personality will not result in major discord, but differing principles can make Servants resolving their differences of opinions difficult.[45]
While two Servants may have the same personalities as "good", like King Arthur and Gilgamesh, their Lawful and Chaotic principles lead to differing opinions.[46]
- Servants without a known alignment can be found here.

Knowledge[]
Those summoned as Servants are given the minimum information required to allow them to fit into any era. No matter how ancient the Heroic Spirit, they should understand a number of concepts that were not known in their time.[47]
The idea that Artoria may be shocked about the immediate world initially worries Shirou Emiya, but the knowledge makes such worry unnecessary. Irisviel von Einzbern first believes that Saber may find flying in a plane to be an amazing experience, but it instead seems less than expected to her. Flying in a plane is also mitigated due to her Riding Skill that could potentially even grant her the ability to fly it. While not given enough information to actually drive modern vehicles, higher ranks of Riding grant the ability to manage such through intuition even if they do not actually recognize what each separate control of a vehicle will actually perform what action.[48]
Conversely, even though Jeanne d'Arc understands the basic principles behind the concept of a plane, she is unnerved by the idea of a mass of metal flying through the sky and only has the relief that it did not fall out of the sky after landing.[34] With language, Iskander displays the ability to speak English to his Master, Waver Velvet, and also speak Japanese to Taiga Fujimura, allowing him to easily translate between the two.[49]
The knowledge is not all-encompassing, so concepts may still have to be explained to them. Rider is shocked at the true scope of the world compared to the area he had conquered in life, and needs to have certain areas shown to him on a map. He enjoys spending his time learning about different aspects of the world such as wars since his time, and details like the price of a stealth bomber are not immediately known to him.[47] Saber does not understand the idea of dating until it is specifically explained.[50]
They are granted knowledge on the Holy Grail ritual itself, but only as much as the outside Masters are told. They do not know of its true purpose in being a method requiring all seven to be sacrificed to reach the Root, only believing it to be a war for a single wish. The knowledge can change upon the nature of the war changing, allowing knowledge of the two teams of Servants and factions of the Great Holy Grail War to be given to them.
They are not granted knowledge on other Heroes through the Holy Grail, but rather from knowledge gained within the Throne of Heroes. Witnessing traits of other Servants can allow them to deduce their True Names with the knowledge even if they are from incompatible eras. Aberrations like Artoria Pendragon, who is not part of the Throne of Heroes due to her circumstances, are able to identify those whose legends would have been known to them in life, such as Cú Chulainn,[51] but cannot identify the legends of later Heroic Spirits like Gilles de Rais even after being directly named.[52]
Memories[]
Under the Fuyuki system, Servants are summoned with the memories of only when they were alive, not retaining anything from after they became a Heroic Spirit.[53] The memories of Servants are returned to the Throne after each summoning, their experiences stored as integrated memories.[54]
The Throne of Heroes, having no concept of past or future, contains all of these memories. As the act of a Servant taking in all of a Heroic Spirit's memories would create contradictions, like knowing of events of the very Holy Grail War into which they were summoned, their memories are adjusted to match the time and place into which they are summoned.[55]
The Throne also adjusts knowledge and memories according to the world in which they are summoned, to avoid the Servant being confused by multiple sets of memories.[56] Gilgamesh in Fate/strange Fake speculates that, "It may be a desperate measure on the part of the Throne to curb the world's contradictions, even if only slightly."[55]
The Chaldea system of summoning is an exception that allows for Servants to remember past summonings or retain memories.[57] Within Chaldea, the storage of Saint Graphs allows for defeated Servants to be resummoned with all their memories from Chaldea, but certain circumstances can potentially destroy those memories.[58][59]
Memories formed in Singularities are also more easily remembered.[57] Trisha Fellows, who studied Heroic Spirits, theorizes that Reality Marbles, along with Singularities, may allow Servants to keep memories of their summonings.[60]
Certain circumstances can also allow certain Servants to bypass the system. Artoria Pendragon's unique circumstances cause her to remember everything she experiences in chronological order.[53] Kundry, due to the circumstances of having been reincarnated multiple times before becoming a Heroic Spirit, remembers all of her summonings.[61] Gilgamesh, while not naturally retaining memories, can bypass the restriction by utilizing his clairvoyance to see into other worlds.[55]
Differing from those who do retain memories, while Francesca Prelati is a still existing version of the Heroic Spirit François Prelati, Francois only remembers up until he was first executed when summoned as a Servant.[62] Should Hassan of Serenity ever fall in love during a summoning, those memories will be sealed within the Throne of Heroes, making it so that particular version will never be summoned again, even in the case of being summoned into the Chaldea system.[57]
Saint Graph[]
- Main article: Saint Graph
The Spiritual Foundation (霊基, Reiki?, Localized as "Spirit Origin"), or Saint Graph (セイントグラフ, Seinto Gurafu?), of a Servant is the core of a Servant's existence, described as "their center, their heart, their CPU" that dictates their every function.[63] It differs from the Spiritual Core acting as the foundation of the Servant container.
Within Chaldea Security Organization, they are able to store the Saint Graphs of Servants to allow for their quick resummoning with their memories intact.
Heroic Spirit Possession[]
Heroic Spirit Possession (英霊憑依, Eirei Hyōi?) is the process of a Heroic Spirit fusing with a human in some capacity. It is possible for a Servant to possess a human, fuse with a human to become a Demi-Servant, and for a human to act as a vessel for the summoning of a Heroic Spirit that lacks a body of its own or possesses Divinity too high to manifest directly to become a Pseudo-Servant.
Normally the Souls of Heroic Spirits would overwhelm those of humans, making it impossible for them to intermix and grant a human the powers of the Heroic Spirit. Pure souls like those of Homunculi can have a better time accepting their power and withstanding transformation of the flesh. The act of a Heroic Spirit possessing a human for even a single second can be called a miracle in itself.[64]
- The Greater Grail is able to make the process work for Jeanne d'Arc by searching for a match with a compatible physical build, spiritual build, personality, and Magical Energy. The possession seals the target's former personality and spiritually installs the Heroic Spirit. After receiving clearance from the host personality, it performs a "cross-domain base anatomy backup" to be able to restore the target even if Ruler is killed. It adapts the physical and spiritual build, grants the Class Skills, grants knowledge of Heroic Spirits and the modern era, and inputs other required data. Overwriting and merging with the target's body and personality, Ruler notes having most of the target's memories. Rather than two personalities in one body, it is more that they merged into one.[34]
- Through an intermediary, like a part of a Heroic Spirit's body or a related Catalyst implanted into someone's body, it can be possible to call down the Heroic Spirit directly from the Throne of Heroes to inhabit their body. The process requires something of great power like a Command Spell, and the transformation will only last a few minutes. Due to possessing Siegfried's heart, his soul, and through special Command Spells, Sieg is able to act as a shell for the body of Siegfried, retaining his own personality while being able to utilize Siegfried's abilities.[64]
- In the case of Pseudo-Servants, a human whose soul is sufficiently close to the Heroic Spirit in terms of both personality and characteristics is selected and initially summoned, followed by the Heroic Spirit that will inhabit the human body.[34] The result of the possession is a being with a personality similar to that of a combination of both the Heroic Spirit and the vessel, with the potential of unconsciously inheriting the vessel's memories. In general, the Heroic Spirit's personality and mind is dominant but there are exceptions in cases where the vessel has an unusually strong will or if the Spirit is willing to allow the vessel's personality to maintain control.
- The Demi-Servant process is only possible with humans that have been genetically engineered from birth for the sole purpose of being compatible with the merger process. Even then, the process is dangerous for both parties and has a minimal chance of success. Only a handful of attempts at creating Demi-Servants have been recorded, and of them only one was ultimately successful.[65]
Effects on the Master[]
Some Servants can share their characteristics with their Master.
- Mash Kyrielight, a Demi-Servant of Galahad, grants her Master, Ritsuka Fujimaru, a resistance to poison through her Noble Phantasm, Lord Camelot.[66]
- Through the usage of Avalon as a Master's Noble Phantasm, Artoria Pendragon's Magical Energy can act as a catalyst to imbue the effects of the sheath upon the Master. Upon learning of Shirou's healing, Rin incorrectly assumes Shirou Emiya's healing is a byproduct of the contract due to not knowing of the existence of Avalon.[67]
- There is a known case of a Servant able to share a physical body with their Master. This causes the Master to become close to an immortal existence for the duration of the Holy Grail War by not being able to die until the Servant dies, but it does not increase their power to the point where they would be able to fight an existence greater than an Assassin-class Servant.[64][67]
- Jack the Ripper possesses the capacity to possess the body of their Master when summoned in a class other than Berserker.[68]

Heroic Spirit Swordmaster[]
Heroic Spirit Swordmasters (英霊剣豪, Eirei Kengō?) are modified beings present in the Shimosa Singularity. Originally regular Heroic Spirits, they were altered by Ashiya Douman, who cast the Karma of the Absolute Massacre (一切鏖殺の宿業, Issai Ōsatsu no Shukugō?, localized as Curse of Annihilation) on them, greatly increasing their power and granting them regeneration and Skills similar to Mad Enhancement and Presence Concealment.
They are nothing more than walking corpses that have lost their humanity. According to Caster of Limbo, only Senji Muramasa's finest katana, Myoujingiri Muramasa, can wound them. Later on, Fuuma Kotarou was also shown to be able to hurt them with his kunai, after he had absorbed Katou Danzou's Magical Energy.[69]
They are also capable of casting a spell similar to a Reality Marble of a field of corpses where the loser's soul will be consumed.

Living Servant[]
Servants summoned with a living body. Because many Heroic Spirits within the Throne of Heroes are only recorded after their death, their summoned form is a pure simulation that isn't classified as "alive", so actually being summoned with a living component is a rarity. This typically appears in Pseudo-Servants manifesting through a pre-existing human or a Homunculus prepared for them, but there are a few cases where the Throne has recorded a living being, and in rare cases they were recorded entirely as themselves without any special additions. While no less powerful than an ordinary Servant, they are susceptible to things that an ordinary Servant wouldn't be, such as hunger and exhaustion.
List of known Living Servants:
- Mash Kyrielight - A live human implanted with the Saint Graph of Galahad at birth.
- Senji Muramasa - A Pseudo-Servant using Shirou Emiya as a vessel.
- Ishtar - A Pseudo-Servant using Rin Tohsaka as a vessel. (Ereshkigal, though also possessing Rin, is not counted as alive.)
- Astraea - A Pseudo-Servant using Luviagelita Edelfelt as a vessel, manifested by Zhuge Liang's Chu Shi Biao Noble Phantasm calling upon Waver's allies.
- Jaguar Man - A Pseudo-Servant using Taiga Fujimura as a vessel.
- Parvati/Durga - Pseudo-Servants using Sakura Matou as a vessel. (Kama, though also possessing Sakura, is not counted as alive.)
- Amour - A Pseudo-Servant using Caren Hortensia as a vessel.
- Manannán mac Lir - A Pseudo-Servant using Bazett Fraga McRemitz as a vessel.
- Illyasviel von Einzbern (Fate/kaleid) - Recorded as herself, having split from the original following an unconscious wish to aid Chaldea as she returned to her own world after their shared adventure. (Sitonai, who uses Fate/stay night's Illyasviel von Einzbern as a vessel, is not counted as alive due that Illyasviel having already died.)
- Miyu Edelfelt - Recorded as herself, having split from the original following an unconscious wish to aid Chaldea as she returned to her own world after their shared adventure.
- Chloe von Einzbern - Recorded as herself, having split from the original following an unconscious wish to aid Chaldea as she returned to her own world after their shared adventure.

Shadow Servant[]
Shadow Servants (シャドウサーヴァント, Shadou Sāvanto?) are a variety of Servant that is incomplete, degraded, or false.
- The FATE system of Chaldea allows for its Masters, such as Ritsuka Fujimaru, to summon Shadow Servants to assist in battle when in a Singularity.[70] These Shadow Servants are false copies created from their residual Spiritual Foundation. Ritsuka Fujimaru is the only one seen using this ability and is still able to summon Shadow Servants even when cut-off from Chaldea. So far it is unknown if they posses this ability because they are the Master of Chaldea or if it's their own ability.
- Within the Moon Cell, Karl der Große creates Shadow Servants with the residual energy a Servant's Spirit Core leaves at the location of their summoning.
- The term can refer to Servants that manifest in any manner different from their normal form, such as the summoner lacking Magical Energy or the summoning circle being insufficient.
- Blackening Servants can leave them in a state of being Shadow Servants.
- Remnants of a destroyed Heroic Spirit's Spirit Origin can sometimes be attracted to sources of Magical Energy and grudges instead of returning to the Throne of Heroes. If this occurs, the broken Spirit Origin will reconstitute into a Shadow Servant.
- The Seven Fake Heroic Spirits created by Jeanne Alter are similar in nature.
Solo Servant[]
Solo Servants are Servants summoned by the Moon Cell after the formal end of the Moon Holy Grail War in Fate/EXTELLA. They exist independently without the need for a Master.
Stray Servant[]
- Main article: Stray Servant
Stray Servant (はぐれサーヴァント, Hagure Sāvanto?, localized as "Rogue Servant") is a term for Servants who were summoned without a Master or lost their Master. For those in a normal Holy Grail War, they can last between several hours and several days depending on their abilities; they can supplement themselves via mana transfer, but require an anchor to exist for longer than that. Servants that possess the Independent Action Skill, usually found on the Archer class, typically last the longest. Stray Servants appearing in the Grand Orders are summoned by the Counter Force and are able to exist without a Master due to the unusual conditions inherent in Singularities and Lostbelts.
Top Servant[]
The seven Top Servants (トップ・サーヴァント, Toppu Sāvanto?) are Heroic Spirits hand-picked by the Moon Cell for their exemplary strength,[71] widely considered to be the best and the strongest on SE.RA.PH.[72] These are "Heroes among Heroes" known throughout the world for their famed exploits. These champions are summoned as special classes separate from the seven standard classes. Normally, they exist only to protect the Moon Cell. In Fate/EXTELLA, they are summoned to combat the Umbral Star, and prevent the awakening of Velber 02.[71] In Fate/EXTELLA LINK, their task is to stop Karl der Große's Oraclization.[72]
Leonardo da Vinci states that even at full power, a Top Servant's Noble Phantasm almost certainly couldn't break an entire planet apart. Even if an Anti-Planet Noble Phantasm existed, on paper, it wouldn't be enough to destroy the Earth due to the Counter Force.[73]
Current Top Servants[]
- Artoria Pendragon: She is referred to as the ultimate doomsday device summoned by the Moon Cell to cut down and kill Altera with Excalibur should she become too much to handle.[74]
- Gilgamesh: Even by Top Servant standards, Hakuno Kishinami states that Gilgamesh is incomparable. He came from the Far Side to the Near Side of the Moon without being summoned. A feat that according to Jeanne d'Arc is impossible even for a Top Servant.[75]
- Iskandar: When the Moon Cell sensed that Altera had been released, it summoned Iskandar to take her down. However, being unaccustomed to fighting on SE.RA.PH, with all its subtle differences to the Earth he lived and died on, he approached the fight as a kind of warm-up, and thus, he lost. Although Altera then declared that his life belongs to her, and forced him to join her army, she understands that her victory over Iskandar was a matter of circumstance, and that they are evenly matched in terms of strength.[76]
- Karna: Hakuno Kishinami regards him as a strong hero even among Top Servant standards.[77][78]
- Jeanne d'Arc: She is the Ruler summoned by the Moon Cell. When Altera defeated Iskandar, the Moon Cell fell into panic and summoned Jeanne d'Arc along with another Top Servant to defeat her this time.[75]
- Scáthach: She is summoned in reaction to Karl der Große causing trouble in SE.RA.PH. Despite her being "Top Lancer", when she attempted to kill him, she ended up under his Oraclization spell. This doesn't quite mean that she lost, but rather, that she was compelled to give him her blessing, likely as part of his assimilation.[72]
Just an army formed by three Top Servants; Iskandar, Gilgamesh, and Jeanne d'Arc, and commanded by Altera were so strong, that Cú Chulainn states that even if Nero Claudius' and Tamamo-no-Mae's own armies joined forces, making a group formed by; Karna, Gawain, Lu Bu, No Name, Li Shuwen, Medusa, along with their two leaders and Cú himself, they wouldn't have much of a chance at beating them head on. Being amongst warriors, having been through hundreds of battles, and being regarded as a really powerful Servant, Cú doesn't say this lightly. No Name states that the Servants that Cú saw are Top Servants without any doubt, and they are even elite by that standard. He claims that they are easily on par with Karna in terms of military strength, and that there are at least two of them.[71]
Despite their combined strength, Hakuno Kishinami states that compared to Sefar's scream, Altera's army is nothing.[79] This is even ignoring the fact that Sefar was in her "hatchling" state, and that the more she destroys, the bigger and stronger she will get.[80]
Other[]
- Altera: She is stated to be evenly matched with Iskandar in terms of strength.[76] She is later shown fighting evenly with Jeanne d'Arc, and even Gilgamesh, albeit with support of Hakuno Kishinami.[75]
- Caenis: According to Leonardo da Vinci, Caenis' Saint Graph is on the level of a Top Servant or a Divine Spirit.[82]
- Cerberus (Lostbelt): Cerberu's destructive power and durability are stated to be easily on par with that of a Top Servant.[83]
- Charlemagne: After first meeting him, Hakuno Kishinami states that Charlemagne is a strong Heroic Spirit and that he might even be on par with the Top Servants.[84]
- Cú Chulainn (Lancer): Although Cú Chulainn is not among the seven Top Servants during Fate/EXTELLA and Fate/EXTELLA LINK, he is referred as such in the Fate/EXTRA Last Encore CD Drama.
- Cú Chulainn (Caster): Mash Kyrielight speculates that Cú Chulainn is a Top Servant.[85]
- Elizabeth Void: Elizabeth Void claims to be an "abominable Top Servant."[71]
- Karl der Große: Scáthach states that Rex Magnus is a being even greater than the Top Servants.[86]
- Kriemhild (Empowered by 2 Holy Grails): Kriemhild empowered by two grails is on par with a Top Servant and her parameters surpass even Siegfried's.[87]
- Mash Kyrielight: Mash by the time of the South American Lostbelt is approaching the level of a Top Servant.[88]
- Romulus: Romulus is a Heroic Spirit of the Lancer class, and he would no doubt be a Top Servant if he were to appear on SE.RA.PH.[90]
Udon Servant[]
Udon Servants (うどんサーヴァント, Udon Sāvanto?) are Servants created in the parody work Learn with Manga! FGO. They are created from mixing a Spirit, Holy Grail Mud, and udon doughWP. They start out as small, sentient blob of udon dough, eventually developing into Servants.[91][92]
Summoning[]
Masters summon their Servants at the start of each ritual. Different systems possess different means of facilitating the summoning.
Summoning without a system[]
It is possible to utilize Heroic Spirit summoning without establishing a dedicated system around a Holy Grail or other catalyst. Gilgamesh utilizes what he calls "real Heroic Spirit summoning" in the Babylonia Singularity, saying it is unlike that of Chaldea. Merlin notes that the timeframe being that of the end of the Age of Gods makes it easier to summon them than in modern times, saying that neither he or Gilgamesh would find it easy to summon them in the Magecraft-diminished 21st Century.[93]
Without Chaldea's system, Sion Eltnam Sokaris summons the Captain by forcibly mixing two Saint Graphs together.[94]
Fuyuki-based systems[]
Under systems based upon the Fuyuki ritual, there are several factors that determine which Heroic Spirit the Master will summon. It is general that the seven participating Masters are all Magi due to requiring basic Magecraft to properly perform the summoning, but the quality of the Masters does not matter so long as the most basic summoning requirements are met to fill out the Holy Grail's requirement of seven Servants being manifested. Upon selecting the Masters, the Holy Grail distributes the massive amount of Magical Energy it has gathered among them to facilitate the process.[95]
Performing a Summoning Ritual facilitates the process in which the copy of the Heroic Spirit is brought into the chosen class container. Most Masters will prepare a Catalyst with which to summon their desired Heroic Spirit, but it is not absolutely necessary. Without a specific artifact, the Holy Grail will, rather than basing it on their power, choose a Servant based upon similarities to the summoner's own nature.[11][96][97]
When choosing based on power with a Catalyst, bad compatibility may make forming a bond impossible, bringing about hardships without being able to have faith in each other. When allowing for a good affinity, it may bring forth a weaker Servant, and it is possible that a single mistake could rouse bad feelings between them due to the resemblance in their personalities being so close.[11]
It is also possible to predetermine the Class of the Servant through the alteration of the summoning incantations, though this is only limited to the Assassin and Berserker Classes.[98][11][99]
Summoning Ritual[]
While the Summoning Rituals (儀式の召喚, Gishiki no Shōkan?) are generally specific, their main goal in the Holy Grail War system is to act as a precaution to create a bond with a perfect, reliable Servant. They really only require a summoning circle, even if unskilled: a ring of purification carved around a ring of four purging circles, surrounding a ward of summoning.[11]
Catalysts can bypass the need of chanting a spell, but doing so can create aberrations like Gilles de Rais being placed into a normally unsuitable class,[100][101] or King Arthur having a bad connection with her Master that does not allow her to receive Magical Energy through normal methods.[36]
Flat Escardos is a complete anomaly in that he is able to complete the ritual without even meaning to summon a Servant, simply by "fiddling" with the Magical Energy in the area. The connection to his Servant is spontaneously established, and it is unknown if it can be called a miracle, luck, or an achievement of his own latent potential.[68]
It is possible to specify in the Summoning Ritual that the Servant be placed under the Berserker class for those familiar with the workings of the Holy Grail System. By adding in a specific line, Zouken Matou and the Einzbern family, as members of the Three Founding Families, were able to choose this class during the Fourth Holy Grail War and Fifth Holy Grail War respectively.[98][102] In the Great Holy Grail War, each faction has a Summoning Ritual according to the color they represent.[11]
Catalyst[]
Catalysts (触媒, Shokubai?) are symbols and holy relics used to attract the desired Heroic Spirit. Requiring something with a connection to the hero, it can be anything from a sword, armor, a talisman, or even their bones. While something like Rin's Pendant is an artifact holding great power on its own, it is unable to help summon a Servant. If the catalyst is one that is particularly weak, or if it is one with a connection to many different Heroic Spirits, the Heroic Spirit among the candidates that has good affinity with the Master will be chosen. Should the summoner lack a catalyst entirely, then the summoner acts as the catalyst themselves.[96]
Some are those that have only been connected to a single Heroic Spirit, allowing them to be brought forth regardless of affinity with the Master. In a rare case, EMIYA's catalyst is not the pendant Rin Tohsaka owns in the present. EMIYA is instead a case where he holds a catalyst with a connection to his summoner.
Catalysts are extremely valuable, and it can take much effort depending on the Servant the Master wishes to summon. The Mage's Association, having been collecting the esoterica of thaumaturgy for generations since ancient times, has a grand number of catalysts "numbering among the stars."[33] Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald is able to order a relic from Macedonia,[103] while the Einzberns have to specifically have Avalon excavated from Cornwall.[104]
Within the Fate/Apocrypha world, the spread of the Holy Grail War system means many catalysts quickly disappearing over seventy years and numerous Grail Wars. Especially those of Gilgamesh, King Arthur, and Alexander the Great have been scattered and lost over time, and Yggdmillennia specifically collects desired artifacts over decades to procure enough excellent Heroic Spirits.[11] The Association still has enough even then to easily provide seven catalysts to their Red Faction on a short notice.
Moon Cell[]
The Moon Cell summons Servants for Masters through compatiblity.
Chaldea (FATE System)[]
Chaldea uses the FATE summoning system created by Marisbury Animusphere. Its foundation is in Galahad's shield Lord Camelot, which was made using the Round Table and therefore represents "a place where heroes gather". Using that meaning, the shield serves as a catalyst for countless Servants.[138]
Chaldea's summoning system requires both Master and summoned Servant to agree to the summoning.[139]
Due to the Human Order being in disarray and its own unique properties, it allows for the summoning of Divine Spirits, although typically with limitations, such as manifestation in a human body.[140]
Ainsworth (Class Cards)[]
Servants summoning Servants[]
It is also possible for some Servants to bring forth other Servants under limited conditions with their own abilities and Noble Phantasms. The newly summoned Servants can then participate in the summoning themselves; these "Chain Summonings" will call upon progressively more powerful Servants and can even summon Divine Spirits.
- Alexander the Great's Ionioi Hetairoi allows for tens of thousands of Servants to be summoned within the Reality Marble. Only one can be summoned outside of it due to the corrective impulses of the World.
- Okita Souji's Flag of Sincerity can summon a small squad of Servants to fight temporarily.
- William Shakespeare's First Folio can bring forth Servants as "characters", but they are weaker than a Caster-class Servant in function.
- Scáthach can summon Servants with her Original Runes, using herself as the catalyst.
- Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Transcendent Dazzling Castle of the Sun can summon a number of his retinue as Servants, but they can only fight outside of the fortress for a brief period due to their energy source being located inside.
- Richard I's Rounds of Lionheart allows for him to bring a small group of Heroic Spirits with him upon his summoning, voluntarily bringing them directly from the Throne of Heroes.
- Jason's Astrapste Argo allows for him to call on his companions, the Argonauts.
Limitations[]
Anti-Heroes[]
Under normal circumstances, the Fuyuki ritual is made for the summoning of only "pure Heroic Spirits", so with the exception of Hassan-i-Sabbah, those who are "mixed spirits" "who only have the aspect of a Heroic Spirit" cannot be summoned. Through the induction of Angra Mainyu into the Grail after the Third Holy Grail War in the main timeline and the alterations made by Darnic Prestone Yggdmillennia in the alternate timeline of the Great Holy Grail War, it becomes possible to summon those with Anti-Hero aspects.[64][141] That limitation is not present in other Holy Grail Wars like the Moon Cell Holy Grail War.
Divine Spirits[]
Divine Spirits cannot be summoned normally under most systems. Due to their nature, it is nearly impossible for them to manifest in the current world.
- Fuyuki - Within the Fuyuki system, summoning full Divine Spirits is beyond its ability, and it is said the capability to reproduce phenomena of that level would render the Holy Grail unnecessary in the first place. Only through losing their complete Divinity did Chiron and Brynhildr become existences able to be summoned, and Medusa, more of a Divine Spirit than a Heroic Spirit, became applicable only after her Divinity decreased through becoming a monster. The Einzberns were confident in their ability to circumvent their own system to bring about the God Angra Mainyu, but he was a Heroic Spirit instead.
- Moon Cell - Within the Moon Cell, the recorded Divine Spirits are considered to be non-human Heroic Spirits and stored in its Servant records. Though none are summoned for the proper Holy Grail War, BB creates the Alter Egos from combining several Goddesses into each of them.
- FATE - Under the FATE system, it is possible for Divine Spirits to be summoned, but Dr. Roman explains that such a thing should be impossible. The known examples so far bypass their restrictions by either reducing their own Divinity level to a stable state, possessing a human vessel to become a Pseudo-Servant (e.g. Ishtar, Ereshkigal, and Parvati), manifesting through the Saint Graph of a Heroic Spirit they are closely tied to (as is the case with Orion), or are weak enough to be manifested through the container of a Class (e.g. Stheno and Euryale).
- Class Cards - Under the Class Card system, Julian Ainsworth has encapsulated the power of Magni, the half-giant son of Thor into a Class Card.
- Imperial Holy Grail - Under the system used by the Nazis in the Strange Tales of the Imperial Holy Grail, it is possible to summon Pseudo-Servants, including Divine Spirits, in a limited capacity.
Eastern Servants[]
Within the Fuyuki Holy Grail War system, there is a rule that makes only the summoning of Western Heroic Spirits possible due to the Holy Grail being a Western, Christian concept and that the summoning system was created in the world of Western Magi.[142][143] Sasaki Kojirou of the Fifth Holy Grail War is a complete aberration in many ways. Other systems like the Moon Cell Holy Grail War have no such restrictions.[144]
Hassan-i-Sabbah[]
Within the Fuyuki Holy Grail War framework, one from the grouping of nineteen Hassan-i-Sabbah will generally be summoned as the Assassin-class Servant due to the very name "Assassin" acting as their catalyst. It is said to be fixed in the system itself that Hassan will always be summoned,[33] but there is a small chance, so low as to be considered nonexistent, that another will answer the summons.[145]
Within the world of Fate/Apocrypha, the Subcategory Holy Grail War led to a proliferation in the number of Hassans summoned, allowing all of their True Names and Noble Phantasms to be documented. Masters eventually began adding additional lines to the summoning incantations and bringing catalysts not associated with Hassan to call upon different Heroic Spirits.[145]
The Moon Holy Grail War and FATE system do not possess this limitation.
Strength[]
- Main article: Skills
Servants have six primary statistics that make up their overall strength:
- Strength (筋力, Kinryoku?): Bodily might in terms of power.[46]
- Endurance (耐久, Taikyū?): How much damage one can withstand.[46]
- Agility (敏捷, Binshō?): Quickness and speed of reaction.[46]
- Magical Power (魔力, Maryoku?): How much Magical Energy can be handled.[46]
- Good Luck (幸運, Kōun?): The quality of one's luck.[46]
- Noble Phantasm (宝具, Hōgu?): The strength of the Noble Phantasm one owns.[46] While the ranking will often match their strongest Noble Phantasm, it will sometimes only reflect a secondary Noble Phantasm, or display a ranking higher or lower than their available wares.[146][147][148]
Each of the statistics and Skills are translated into specific parameters, reflecting the individual ability of each Servant. They display strength and speed far beyond normal humans, showing in battle displays likened to a "dimension that is completely at odds with the physical laws of this world." Simple hand-to-hand combat between two Servants is enough to wreck a city street in a manner able to be compared to having been carpet-bombed, damaging the ground with only their footfalls, cutting metal with only the backlash caused by their weapons clashing, and tearing away iron from simply brushing against it with weapons.[149] The usage of their Noble Phantasms can easily leave an area in complete ruin, some displaying the capability to easily wreck part of a city with minimum usage or even an entire city should enough time pass.
Both their movement speed and dexterity is enough to make them invisible to the human eye, looking like a breeze of wind when running past and only leaving the aftershocks of their attacks to be felt by onlookers.[149][150] Compared to even a top-class motorcycle like Saber's V-Max able to reach over four hundred kilometers per hour, the dexterity of a Servant places them far above it in both maximum acceleration and speed, and they can rival a jet fighter in speed with proper footwork.[151]
It may be still advantageous to use a motorized vehicle in a pursuit due to it only relying on its fuel rather than using their own Magical Energy while running on foot.[152] The speed of bullets travelling faster than the speed of sound poses no threat, unable to surpass the speed with which they wield their weapons, and those with greater dexterity can easily deflect them with their weapons.[151][153] Not bound by normal logic, they are able to move up the sides of buildings simply by kicking off the sides.
Even the smallest of Servants will have little issue in carrying a person,[33] and Rider, casually copying something out of a comic, is able to lift a vehicle from a construction site to slam down onto her opponents.[27] Even those who are physically weak compared to others like Caster-class Servants show great feats of strength, Gilles de Rais displaying grip strength enough to easily crush a human skull,[154] and Medea severing an arm with a ritualistic dagger unable to normally even be considered lethal to a regular human.[155]
It should be noted that all Servants, even those of Divine Spirit origins, are still affected and limited by at least some of the laws of physics (including gravity and conservation of mass), unless they have unique abilities to bypass these laws.[156]
Master's Perspective[]
Masters who have made contracts with Servants have the ability to read out the status of a Servant with powers of clairvoyance,[157][159][160] called "Master's Perspective".[161]
Master's Perspective allows Masters to measure their Servant's abilities and perceive them a way most comprehensible to them. Some classify according to color, and others classify according to animals. Shirou sees Saber's status, and all other Servants, in a way similar to role-playing games' character sheetWPs.[157] Tiné Chelc perceives them as six rivers flowing from a mountain at different speeds.[160] Haruri Borzak sees them as honeycomb patterns.[162]
It is a unique ability granted by the Holy Grail that summoned the Heroic Spirits, so it cannot be used by those without a contract. They can see through the abilities of the other Servants and compare them to those of their own so that they can guide them as efficiently as possible in battle situations. Tokiomi Tohsaka owned a book that provides a similar ability, but it is useless to a full Master. It was passed on to Rin Tohsaka after his death, and she gives it to Shirou Emiya because he lacks a proper connection to Saber. The book itself is blank, but simply looking at a random page gives him an image in his head that allows him to look upon all known statuses of the Servants in the War. Reading the book will give him new details any time he reads it, and Rin says that he will be able to identify Servants from intuition without using the book after he gets used to it. It is reflected in-game as the Servant status screen.[159]
Factors[]
The strength of the summoned Servants depends on various factors. It is ideal if the Servant can wield their original power as a Heroic Spirit, but it is also possible that they can even surpass their original selves in the case of the attribute enhancement from Mad Enhancement of the Berserker class.[40] Servants are not necessarily more powerful than when originally alive, with some lacking certain abilities, having degraded characteristics, or even becoming weaker as confirmed in dialogue regarding Servants such as Sigurd and Solomon.[163][164]
It is also possible to obtain abilities from Class Skills they did not originally have in life, such as Riding modern vehicles, or have their own attributes strengthened by their classes' natural attributes.[165][166]
- Cultural Sphere (文化圏, Bunkaken?) - The Land (土地, Tochi?) in which the Servant is summoned and the Recognition (認識, Ninshiki?) they receive there are factors that play a role in their strength. The closer they are to the stage of their legend, a geographical boost, and the more that they are known makes them "stronger", bringing them closer to the strength they had in their legend and providing them with more of their equipment displayed in their legend. Depending on the circumstances, it is possible it can bless them with additional Noble Phantasms.[167] The boost from recognition alone is not that large in making a difference in power as when Rin Tohsaka is speculating on Gilgamesh's ability to overwhelm other Servants.[168] Land plays a greater factor with Cú Chulainn, Heracles, and King Arthur being three heroes around the same level of strength when summoned in Europe. Each would be strengthened in Europe and benefit most greatly in battle in their home country, though Heracles' fame would allow him to display excellent power throughout all of western Europe.[169] Cú Chulainn, gaining zero influence from not being known as well in Japan, does not fully display his "shining existence" on par with them while in Fuyuki, but would anywhere else in the world.[170][171] He would obtain several benefits from being summoned in his homeland, Ireland, and outfight Diarmuid Ua Duibhne, who would have an advantage when both are unaffected by the cultural sphere and have other factors at play. Vlad III gains a great boost in Romania, placing him on the same level as those famed heroes, and Semiramis gains her maximum fame while in the confines of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.
- Magical Energy of the Master - The more powerful the Magical Energy of the Master, the greater the Servant will be able to reach the strength they displayed in their legend. If they cannot provide proper energy or if the Servant lacks a Master for a time, their parameters lower in proportion. If it is a lack of energy, unknown factors will lower parameters and Skills with some Servants, while the Master's way of life may affect others.[167][172] King Arthur, serving under several different Masters, displays a number of different sets of parameters due to fluctuating levels of energy. Under Shirou Emiya, she receives no energy because his Magical Paths are obstructed and cannot display her full strength. Kiritsugu Emiya is able to supply energy to have her be stronger than when under Shirou, but her luck is affected by his personality due to still not providing enough energy. Rin Tohsaka is an excellent Magus that allows her to unleash her full abilities without being affected.[167] Two Servants who would be balanced differently under other circumstances may find the balance tipped when one has better Master support.[171]
- Container Parameters - Unmodified by the strengths and weaknesses of specific Heroic Spirits, the containers of the seven standard Servant classes of the Fuyuki Grail War possess known base parameters.[173] The parameters of the containers has not been shown to affect summoned Servants, allowing for parameters higher and lower than those of the containers. If the hero should be utterly weak to the point of defenselessness like Stheno and Euryale, it is possible for the containers to increase their strength far beyond their regular selves.

Assassin | D | D | B | E | B |
Strengthening[]
Ascension[]
Under the FATE system, it is possible for Servants to undergo Ascension (霊基再臨, Reiki Sairin?, Spirit Foundation Second Coming), a reform for the Servants to become stronger by coming closer to their "starting point of conception" by providing Flames of Wisdom and magical materials to enhance their Saint Graph. It may even bring about a younger, more inexperienced form without reducing their power as a Servant because it is the "most fitting figure" for them.[174]
Doctor Heartless dubs his ritual to change a Servant into a Divine Spirit Shadow Ascension (霊基虚影再臨, Reiki Kyoei Sairin?), based on the Blackmore Cemetery's ritual to recreate King Arthur combined with the Initiation of the labyrinth Spiritual Tomb of Albion.[175]
Form Change[]
Form Change: Altered Morphology (形態変化, Keitai Henka?) is an element present in Fate/EXTELLA that allows for Servants to be strengthened in battle, altering their outward appearance and weapons.
This is only given to the wielders of the Regalia, rings that symbolize the Royal Authority of SE.RA.PH, given to Servants who have won a Moon Cell Holy Grail War.
Mythological Mystic Code[]
Within the Moon Cell, it is possible to unlock the Origin of a Servant, granting them great power on the same scale as the Ten Crowns possessed by BB. This is known as the Mythological Mystic Code (神話礼装, Shinwa Reisō?). As a result of analyizing the data from the Ten Crowns the protagonists gained from Robin Hood, Rani VIII and Rin Tohsaka acquired rights to access "original power" from the Moon Cell. The Ten Crowns is the beginning of human history, the dawning of the light of civilization. To summarize, it is the power of the Origin that began the human genome. It is something all human beings hold within them. By entering the Servant's virtual mind/body to access the Heroic Spirit core directly, it is possible for the Master to reach the Heroic Spirit's Root that the Moon Cell had sealed away, and release the Mythological Mystic Code. This is an origin that even the person themselves can never know. The farthest point that became the cause of the birth of their very being. In other words, zero.[176]
By removing their limiter, the Servant acquires the same level of "fundamental truth" as BB due to now being able to raise their spiritual rank according to their will. With this power up alone, the student council estimated Hakuno's Servants, be it Nero Claudius, No Name, Tamamo-no-Mae or Gilgamesh depending on the player's preferences, would have a 0.9999% chance of victory against BB. In order to help them and Hakuno in the final battle, even if just a little, Rin Tohsaka redirected all the power that had been previously protecting the school building to stop BB and the Alter Egos from entering, and all the resources that comprised the building to them, to further empower them. By the point they finally faced BB, their power had been increased to the same rank as hers. Thus, it became possible to defeat her by severing her link to the Moon Cell before she could fire her Noble Phantasm.[176]
All four Servants to have ever unlocked this form became capable of moving faster than light, as shown when Kiara Sessyoin blasted them away to the ends of the galaxy, only for them to return short after. Although this shocked Kiara, it is noted that the only reason she was defeated by Hakuno's Servant is that the Alter Egos, BB, and Sakura inside her preventing her from using her "omnipotence" in order to protect their love, Hakuno. Had she known she had such fatal weakness before hand, Kiara states that she would have simply blown them away to some random realm, just to later destroy that realm alongside them.[176]
Because the Mythological Mystic Code a very powerful engine, its power places much burden on the Servant. Sakura claims that the basic Servant frame is not capable of withstanding the power output of the Mythological Mystic Code, and she asks Hakuno Kishinami to limit its use to one time only.[176]
When discussing how to free Altera from the shackles of the Umbral Star, Nero stated that this power would be enough to face Velber, although she feared that her Cyber Frame would not be able to handle that amount of pressure for long. However, taking into account that they also had the Royal Authority of the Regalia, Nero claims to have the power to make miracles happen. Although Nero says that using this Mystic Code is not a bad idea, Hakuno isn't entirely sure it would work. The Mythological Mystic Code is just the "manifestation of a Hero's Origin", so it wouldn't be enough to influence Altera, whose strength was backed by the Umbral Star, which is on a whole different level of power. To do so, they would need power on the same level as Altera. Even if they were to use the incredible power of the Royal Authority, and even if Saber were able to release her full power with the Mythology Mystic Code, the formats of the Moon Cell and the Umbral Star are too different. Hakuno states that this solution doesn't address the root of the problem. Since its power is ultimately just a function of the Moon's Holy Grail, all they could hope for at best would be to destroy Sefar, and even that wasn't guaranteed.[177]
The only four Mythological Mystic Codes are the following:
- Nero Claudius: Mythological Mystic Code of Emperor
- No Name: Mythological Mystic Code of Wrought Iron
- Tamamo-no-Mae: Mythological Mystic Code of the Sun
- Gilgamesh (Fate/EXTRA CCC): Mythological Mystic Code of Genesis
Artoria Caster has the sword Mythological Mystic Code Marmyadose, though it is currently unknown if they are related to the Mythological Mystic Codes gained upon unlocking a Servant unlocking their Origin.
Battle[]
Battles between Servants can be called a process of gradually shaving off the Magical Energy that forms their bodies. Attacks that consume a great amount of Magical Energy will inflict a massive amount of damage on the opponent, but it will also weaken the attacker in the process. In order to inflict a great amount of damage with minimum expenditure of Magical Energy, it is necessary for them to collect intelligence regarding the enemy and assault their weakness. The greatest weapon is their Noble Phantasm, and a battle between Servants can often be called a battle between Noble Phantasms.
When describing their strength, they can be likened to a single jet fighter in pure attack power, far beyond the ability for a single person to fight. While strong, they would have to refuel many times in order to destroy a city. Though there are many modern weapons that are more powerful, their status as spiritual bodies makes them among the most powerful due to being immune to modern weapons. Their Noble Phantasms can be likened to a jet's ability to load a nuclear warhead far beyond its normal fighting power, with some Servants having extremely powerful ones.[178]
With Servants, those with an "extremely average Noble Phantasm" would have one around the level of B Rank which has strength able to be represented through numbers. Broken Phantasms, Invisible Air, and Gae Bolg's thrown strike all deal pure physical damage, while Gae Bolg's piercing version carries a conceptual effect able to kill opponents of a much higher level than the wielder.[179]
Affinity[]
Affinity between Servants can factor into battles.
- Class Affinity - The various classes posses compatibilities against each other. Within the gameplay of Fate/Grand Order, this results in increased and decreased damage, but it is unknown what effect it has in the story. The only time it has been mentioned is within Fate/Grand Order, and no other story has mentioned it.[180] Class affinity is said to be large enough that it should be factored into fighting the enemy.[181]
- Hidden Attribute - The five main attributes Heroic Spirit affect Servants as well, but it does not provide a great advantage and does not need to be factored into battle under normal circumstances.[181]
Humans and Modern Weaponry[]
As spiritual beings and divine Mysteries, Servants cannot be harmed by normal means and are still considered Spirits even in physical form, so they cannot be physically harmed by regular humans or modern weaponry.[182][183] They can only be harmed by attacks accompanied by Magical Energy like a Servant throwing dirks imbued with Magical Energy, so they can ignore even debris in battle unless it should become contaminated by an enemy's Magical Energy.[64]
Only Servants can normally harm other Servants physically, so even a paper knifeWP could be used to harm a Servant should another Servant wield it.[182] Servants that are physically incarnated through methods such as Blackening can no longer return to spiritual form, allowing them to be damaged with strong enough magical weapons able to pierce the shadows surrounding them in the case of Blackening.[183]
For a human trying to apply pressure to a Servant, even one physically the size of a child, it feels like trying to bend a steel beam. Punches with all of their strength will not even cause a Servant to budge a millimeter, and even Souichirou Kuzuki, whose punch is potent enough to crush a human's skull, can only slightly move Archer's head from the impact.[184] Stabbing them with a knife does nothing but bring about a "prickling irritation" that does not hurt at all.[11]
Servants can be harmed by physical attacks strengthened magically through Reinforcement or enough Command Spells.[185][186] "Mere bullets" normally pose no threats to Servants regardless of the caliber, but firearms wielded as regular weapons by Servants like Francis Drake's pistols are able to inflict damage,[187] and those ascended to the rank of Noble Phantasm like through Lancelot's Knight of Owner can prove lethal with a single shot.[151]
Other opponents[]
Beings other than Servants that are able to combat Servants are few in modern times. Beings such as Arcueid Brunestud (Remake) at 30% of her strength, Amaterasu, and Kingprotea would always generally win against a single Servant due to their overwhelming ability. Arcueid could potentially be overwhelmed by two Servants fighting at once even though she is around four times as strong as one, while Amaterasu and Kingprotea require the strength of several Servants to be defeated.[178][188]
If speaking of a Servant with an extremely average Noble Phantasm, the members of the Twenty Seven Dead Apostle Ancestors (Remake), Kouma Kishima (Remake), and Aoko Aozaki can fight directly, while Ciel (Remake) and Shiki Ryougi's third personality can keep up in a defensive fight that can still be called a fight. Ryougi's normal personality and Shiki Tohno have no chance of matching Servants, but the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception they carry are capable of affecting such beings whether they are incarnated or spiritual bodies.[179][189][190]
Humans utilizing ten Command Spells would also be able to damage Servants.[185] Kirei Kotomine and Kiritsugu Emiya at the peak of their strengths during the Fourth Holy Grail War could defeat Servants, but only when the weakest, Caster and Assassin, are at their most exposed, or when they have special conditions in their favor like surprise or suitability against the opponent.[191]
Against Dead Apostle Ancestors, both are types of beings that live in Mystery, so such battles would come down to "having the means of killing the other guy somehow." Servants will generally hold a slight advantage, barring compatibility issues, and the Knight classes, Saber, Archer, and Lancer, will all be able to have solid fights. While Artoria Pendragon's Excalibur is extremely effective against those who overwhelm by material quantity and alienness, there are those capable of surviving being hit by Excalibur-class attacks through pure endurance. At the same time, those same ones with extreme endurance would have a tough time with Cú Chulainn's Gáe Bolg.[192] ORT, to which Earth's rules do not apply, and Primate Murder, which has an advantage against Primates and requires seven Counter Guardians to control, can be called in a league of their own above both Ancestors and Servants.[193][194]

Heroic Spirits were Heroes who have left behind great feats in legends after death and become subjects of belief.
Normally, a Heroic Spirit is summoned by the world as power that protects humans.
The ones summoned by humans are Servants. However, Heroic Spirits cannot be controlled by humans, and to summon them, the Holy Grail or something with power of that sort must be used.
The Servant system of Fuyuki summons Heroic Spirits with the power of the Greater Grail. Heroic Spirits summoned as Servants are like "emanations", copies created using the information of the main body of the Heroic Servant.
•Birth of Heroic Spirits
It's been explained that Heroic Spirits are beings that heroes whom belief has been gathered upon become after death, but heroes of myths and legends can be born by the gathering of belief even if they didn't exist. Also, there are those who those who make a contract of some sort with the world when they were alive and as compensation become Heroic Spirits after death. In the Fifth War, Hasan Sabaha was a hero that actually existed, and Herakles and Medusa are ones of legends. Also, Emiya and Artoria are beings that became (or will become) Heroic Spirits after their contract with the world. Those who have become Heroic Spirits are freed from the constraints of time and are moved to the Throne of Heroes, existing to the outside of the World.
•Heroic Spirit summoning
Heroic Spirits are beings cut off from the time axis and can be summoned in any era, regardless of past and future. However, the only one that can summon the main body of the Heroic Spirits is the "world", and alas, humans can't summon the main body and can only summon their emanations, the Servants. Speaking of which, the information (souls) making up the Servants return to the main body at the same time as the death of the Servant, and the main body can know, as records, about the actions of the Servants as if reading a book. - ↑ Lord El-Melloi II's Case Files Volume 10: case.

The Heroic Spirits summoned by the Holy Grail. They fell under the "Familiar" classification.
Seven Classes (only) were designated in advance. They were souls of the greatest purity called forth by using relics tied to the specific Heroic Spirits.
Originally they were not existences that could be controlled by mere humans, but they were forced to cooperate with the Masters due to the Command Spells. These Command Spells represented Masters' right to rule. For Servants, obedience towards the Command Spells were "the absolute condition required for materialization".
Servants could revert to Spiritual Form at any time. While in Spiritual Form, they could pass through inorganic matters that lack mana.
During Lancer's surprise drop attack from the ceilings at the Emiya residence, he phased through the roof and entered the living room. He then materialized after clearing the ceiling.
While in Spiritual Form, Servants were not affected by physical interference. However, their abilities to affect the material world decreased. As a result, it was considered advantageous to materialize during combat.サーヴァント【魔術】

[] Fate/EXTRA CCC - Elizabeth Secret Garden [T] Profile
Name: Elizabeth “The torture idol of the dragon family, Elizabeth Báthory! I’ll break your heart to pieces too!”
Height: 154cm “No, 172cm! What do you think of this incredible supermodel-esque stature? My horns are quite tall.”
Weight: 44kg “An idol’s age and weight ought to be kept secret, but, hey, do you really want to hear it? No matter what? Well then I suppose I’ll have to say…I’m a lovely 44kg.”
3Size: B77/W56/H80 “Don’t you have to do such and such to make them big? I-I'm not such an easy girl!”
Home: House Báthory “The ancient dragons. The noble bloodline that bears their fangs. The House of Báthory in Hungary. The place that was everything to me.”
Birthday: May 17th “Could you leave the presents with my manager?”
Weak Point: If you expose my reverse scale I’ll never forgive you “I’ll have to stab you, crush you, wring you dry, and then... you have to take me as a bride!”
Fetishism: Torture…? “No, that’s a duty of the nobility, so that’s different. So, then… w-with the opposite sex? I don’t know anything about that, but, uh, fingers are certainly lovely aren’t they?”
What do you look for in a partner? There are a lot of things, but really… “Pedigree, wealth, work, hobbies… There are a lot of things, but ignoring all that, something that just comes like a lightning—that thing called destiny.”
What’s your favorite color of underwear? Always what’s most fashionable in show business “And a top idol most definitely has stripes!”
How do you spend your free time? Recovering from fatigue with a relaxing bath “It’s not that easy, keeping up this beauty.”
Romanticism (Sweets):
Elizabeth’s first SG.
Written as "Romanticism" and read as "Sweets." Perhaps it could be described as delusional tendency to fall in love with love, a maiden’s heart like a mouth full of sweet cake draped with honey.
Because she has never experienced romance herself, Elizabeth has a tendency to yearn for love stories she read in books. When combined with her nature of falling in love quickly, even the smallest things can raise “flags” for her, making this a very troublesome SG.
Creatures that are fun to bully are her type. What seems to make her heart skip a beat is the strength of heart to firmly look back at her, even while shaking in pain, never giving in no matter how much she strikes or stabs.
<>
Although Elizabeth is known for her bloodbaths and penchant for torture, she has surprisingly pure and honest sense of chastity. As a noble who received proper education, she is a knowledgeable and prudent woman fit to be a feudal lady.
... If she didn’t have that strange delusional tendency and penchant for torture, that is.
Fond of Cooking (Wish to be a Beloved Wife):
Elizabeth’s second SG.
Though Elizabeth herself says she likes cooking, this is not a simple fondness for the act of preparing food, like that of the red-mantled Archer. Elizabeth’s fondness for cooking comes from a desire to be praised by or to monopolize the person she likes. Essentially it amounts to nothing but a desire to be beloved as a wife. However, her skill in cooking is utterly lacking.
From how fondness for cooking appears as the apex of her wish to be a wife, we can infer that Elizabeth places heavy emphasis on meals. Perhaps it is a dragon’s instinct.
<>
Though Elizabeth shares her love of song with Saber and her wish to be a beloved wife with Caster, what lies at the bottom of those wishes are completely different.
Preparing food as a method to confirm husband’s love — to keep husband charmed — does not come from an “equal relationship.” She “bestows meals” to her husband as a noble. It’s no different from feeding... raising an animal. It contains none of the “romance” she longs for. The overlord disposition ingrained into her by heredity devours even her modest dreams.
Purity (Inexperienced):
Elizabeth’s third SG. We would like to leave just what constitutes “purity” to the reader’s imagination.
Servants are revived in the form that represents golden age of their lives. So Elizabeth appears as an unwed daughter of house Báthory, a young girl in love with love… presumably.
<>
An idol must be pure like snow. Romance might be fine, but the moment she comes to know love, her radiance is lost. As long as she immerses herself in the idol business, this SG will be eternally indestructible. - ↑
[] Fate/EXTRA - Li Shuwen (Assassin) Matrix [T] Class: Assassin
Master: Julius Harway
True Name: Li Shuwen
Noble Phantasm: No Second Strike
Keyword: A second strike isn't needed, Obfuscation
Strength: B, Defense: C, Agility: A, Magic: E, Luck: E
Obfuscation: -, Liuhe Quan: A+++, Concealment: AKewords 01 - No Second Strike
Li Shuwen's blows are almost always fatal, whether he throws a hard blow designed to kill or a simple feint to draw his opponent into an attack. A saying that has managed to survive the passing of years is, "For Li Shuwen, a second strike is needless." It is this saying from which his Noble Phantasm get its name.
To be accurate, this isn't a Noble Phantasm in the traditional sense of term. Rather, it is the ultimate expressions of the true power possible by mastering the martial arts. Li Shuwen is considered to be one of the very few to have gained total mastery over his style, and in fact was believed to have transcended the need for physical attacks, instead defeating his opponents by engulfing them in Chi.
There is much debate as to whether Li Shuwen actually uses his Chi to defeat his opponents, although the very few who have managed to survive a confrontation with him report suffering all of the effects associated with this attack, such as obscured senses, heightened state of paranoia, and the feeling that their nervous system was under almost unendurable strain.
02 - A second strike isn't needed
This was the second name given to one of the strongest practitioners of kung fu in Bajiquan history. Considered to be the ultimate master of Bajiquan, it is said that this person was able to take the life of his opponents with a single gentle touch.
03 - Obfuscation
A skill used to completely conceal one's presence.
Although this ability allows the user to become almost completely invisible, the sheer amount of magical energy required almost screams out that some form of thaumaturgy is being used. Should this person's opponent be a skilled magus, their presence would be noticeable in some extrasensory fashion.
There is a way to achieve this state of being without the use of any kind of magical aid and using only the abilities inherent within one's own physical form, but the level of concentration required is far beyond what humans are capable of.01 - 无二打
李書文の剛打は、牽制やフェイントの為に放ったはずの一撃ですら敵の命を奪うに足るものであった。
「李書文に二の打ち要らず(神槍无二打)」
无二打は、そんな彼の称号がカタチになったものである。
明確に言うと宝具ではなく、武術の真髄。
李書文は達人であり、その勁力が優れているのは言うまでもないが、それ以上に重要なのが相手を「気で呑む」事を実践していたことにあると考えられる。
一説によると、李書文は拳の破壊力だけで相手を倒してはいないらしい。
彼によって絶命せしめられた者たちのほとんどは内臓の破壊ではなく、現在で言うところのショック死状態であったと伝えられる。
「気で呑む」技法は、技法としては固定された名称がなく、わずかに仙道修行の周天行における空周天に酷似した発想があるのみである。
周天行とは気(エネルギー)を心身に巡らせ、それによって全身を活性化した上で気を共鳴・増幅して養っていく鍛錬法の一種。
そのひとつの到達点が全身を気で満たすものであり、また、周囲の空間に自身の気を満たす事にある。
李書文はこの行法によって相手を「気で呑む」、つまり自身の気で満ちた空間を形成することで完全に自分のテリトリーを作っていたのではないか、と考察される。
「気で呑まれた者」は、一部の感覚が眩惑され、緊張状態となり、この状態で相手の神経に直接衝撃を打ち込んだ場合、迷走神経反射によって心臓は停止する。
即ち、ショック死である。
02 - 二の打ち要らず
中国拳法史上、最強の一人と名高い拳法家に贈られた二つ名。
この称号を贈られた拳法家は八極拳の使い手であり、仕合において、どのような軽い手であれ、触れれば相手の命を奪ったという。
03 - 気配遮断
姿を隠して行動するスキル。
その究極として透明化があるが、これは多大な魔力を使用するため“魔術が使われている”気配を残してしまう。
よって、敵対者が優れた術者である場合、
「姿は見えないが何者かが細工をしている」
と感知されてしまうのだ。
魔術にたよらず、自らの体術のみで行う透明化。
それはもはや人間の域とは呼べない魔技である。Skills Obfuscation [-]
While a common skill of all Servants of the Assassin Class, the level to which he is able to almost completely obscure his presence goes far above the limits normally associated with this ability.
Liuhe Quan [A+++]
A Chinese meditiative ideal. It is a belief that true mastery of martial arts comes not through training, but acceptance. As this technique is extremely difficult to understand, let alone master, it is only when achieving the rank A that one is thought to have actually begun to learn. Those with ranks exceeding A are considered true masters of the arts.
Concealment [A]
A technique in which one uses their Chi to blend in with the whole of their surroundings. For masters of the ability, it is possible for them to truly become one with the world and have their very forms seem to become invisible.気配遮断[-]:
アサシンのクラスが持つ共通のスキルだが、このサーヴァントが持つ気配遮断スキルはそれらのどれにも該当しない。
中国武術[A+++]:
中華の合理。宇宙と一体になることを目的とした武術をどれほど極めたかの値。拾得の難易度は最高レベルで、ほかのスキルとは違い、Aでようやく"修得した"と言えるレベル。+++となれば達人中の達人。
圏境[A]:
気を使い、周囲の状況を感知し、また、自らの存在を消失させる技法。極めたものは天地と合一し、その姿を自然に透けこませる事すら可能となる。Details 01 - Character Background
Li Shuwen (1864-1934)
A Chinese martial arts master from Yanshan County, Hebei-Cangzhou. One of the foremost practitioners of the style of the style known as Bajiquan, he was so powerful that many remarked that with him, "a second strike is needless as long a single blow will suffice."
In addition to his skills in hand-to-hand combat, he was also supremely talented in the use of the spear, so much so that he earned the name "Divine Spear Li." His occasional us of this weapon sometimes causes his opponents to mistakenly classify him as a Lancer. While this wouldn't normally be entirely incorrect, due to his Master's desire for a stealthy Servant capable of killing from the shadows, the traits more associated with the Assassin class have come to the fore.
On a final note, since his ability to become invisible is based on his natural abilities and not on any form of thaumaturgy, he is all but undetectable to the vast majority of magi or anyone dependent on magic.
02 - "Master of the Demonic Fist"
Li Shuwen, Master of the Demon Fist.
One of the few undisputed masters of martial arts, he maintains a delicate balance between the innate goodness and inherent evil found in all men. He fell victim to poison after earning the undying hatred of the countless families of those he had killed.
As a Servant, the balance he maintained in life has slipped slightly, but he still values rationality greatly. While he does not see much difference between good and evil, he will react with disgust and utter contempt for those who stray from rational thinking. And for those who allow what Christians call "The Seven Deadly Sins" to overwhelm their lives, he brings swift and inevitable death.
Although he was known as a deadly fighter throughout his life, in his later years he discovered that true power lay not in the strength of his fists, but in the strength of his convictions. He spent the remainder of his life following valor, not violence.
He freely acknowledge that in his current incarnation he is nothing more than a professional killer, but does so without bitterness or regret. And although he uses his power as Julius directs, could it be that...?01 - 人物背景:
李書文。1864~1934年。
河北省滄州市塩山県出身の中国武術家。
「二の打ち要らず、一つあれば事足りる」と謳われる、中国拳法史上、有数の拳法家。
李氏八極門の祖である李書文は、“神槍李”とあだ名されるほど槍に長けた人物であったとされている。
彼の使った六合大槍は、八極門の基本的な武器であり、極論して良いならば八極門の素手の技法(八極拳)のほとんどはこの六合大槍の技法を学ぶための前段階に過ぎないとさえいえる。
本来なら彼のクラスはランサーだが、その場合、晩年の姿として現れる。
マスターであるユリウスとの相性から若く猛々しい李書文が望まれ、アサシンとして現れたと思われる。
また、余談ではあるが彼の透明化は圏境による瞑想の極意である。
何の魔術も使わない透明化である為、魔術理論に生きる者たちにとっては“絶対に感知できない”達人の技だ。
……加えて余談ではあるが、かつて地上には李書文同様、何の魔術も使わず人の業のみで分身を自在とした剣士がいたらしい。
その秘剣の名は燕返し。
奇しくも、アサシンのクラスによる魔技であった。
02 - 『魔拳士』
魔拳士・李書文。
基本、義を通す善性だが、悪もまた良しとする武芸者。
あまりに多くの対手を殺めた事で多くの憎しみを買い、最後は毒を盛られて命を終えたという。
◆
サーヴァントとしての書文はその道徳性こと一般常識から逸脱していたが、人間性そのものは合理性を重んじる“良識人”である。
正義も悪もそう大差はないが、某(なにがし)の行いが合理に損なっている…無駄が多い…のなら、某(なにがし)に対して露骨な嫌悪を向けるのである。
この某(なにがし)が巨利をむさぼる悪党であった場合、そして某(なにがし)の被害にあっている者からの懇願があった場合、李書文は“縁が出来たな”として某(なにがし)と対峙し、結果として殺害する。
一見、義侠の徒に見える行為だが、中華における義侠とは『情をもって剣を取る』なので、彼の考えは真逆にあたる。李書文の性格、合理性はむしろ現代人のそれに近いものだったようだ。
単純に(純粋に、ではない)強さのみを求めた李書文だが、晩年は暴力の強さではなく、自身の生き方、信念の強さに武を見いだしたと言われる。
自身を拳法家というより殺し屋のたぐいと自認しているが、それを卑下する事も、誇る事もない。
生前は善(よ)く学び、善(よ)く戦い、善(よ)く殺めたので、無念や怨念はまったく持っていない。

[] Fate/complete material III: World material - FAQ with Nasu: Servants, p.132
Q: Can the spiritual core of a Servant be thought of as a vital area that, if destroyed, would cause instantaneous death, like a human’s heart or brain?
Q: Can the spiritual core of a Servant be thought of as a vital area that, if destroyed, would cause instantaneous death, like a human’s heart or brain?
A: The heart and brain are certainly vital organs. Though they are different from the spiritual core, they can be considered organs directly connected to the core.
When the spiritual core is weakened through mana consumption or damage to the physical body, powerful mana, spells, and Noble Phantasms can no longer be materialized, and the Servant will disappear.Q:サーヴァントの霊核とは、人間の心臓やのうと同じで、破壊されると即死する急所のようなものと考えてよいのでしょうか?
A:心臓、脳は確かに急所です。霊核とは別のものですが、より霊核に直結した器官と考えられます。
霊核は魔力消費、肉体損傷によって弱体化し、その状態で強力な魔力、呪い、宝具を受けると現界を保てなくなり、サーヴァントは霧散します。 - ↑
[] Fate/complete material III: World material - Records of Heavens Feel - Servant System: How to Defeat A Servant, p.018 How to Defeat A Servant
When a Heroic Spirit emerges into this world, he first acquires a Spiritual Core. The Heroic Spirit then materialises as the body envelopes this Spiritual Core. In order to defeat a Heroic Spirit, one must inflict damage to the Spiritual Core. The Spiritual Core gradually diminishes as a result of massive magical energy expenditure or sustaining bodily damage. Under these adverse conditions, the Heroic Spirit’s expenditure of magical energy will escalate, and should damaged be inflicted through powerful magical energy, curse, or Noble Phantasm, the Spiritual Core will be destroyed, and the Heroic Spirit will no long be able to remain materialised. The heart and head are connected directly to the Spiritual Core, thus they are the weaknesses of Heroic Spirits. Sustaining damage at these locations will significantly weaken the Spiritual Core.
•Battle of Servants
The battle between Servants can be called a process of gradually shaving off the magical energy that forms the their bodies. Attacks that consume a great amount of magical energy will inflict a massive amount of damage on the opponent, but it will also weaken yourself in the process. In order to inflict a great amount of damage with minimum expenditure of magical energy, it is necessary to collect intelligence regarding the enemy and assault his weakness.

[] Fate/complete material III: World material - Records of Heavens Feel - Servant System: Spiritual Body and Material Body, p.018 Spiritual Body and Material Body
“Spiritual Body” is a word that describes an existence with spiritual properties. In other words, a shape is constructed without relying on components with physical properties. On the other hand, “Material Body” means something that is identical in structure as our flesh bodies. A Material Body, just like us, cannot walk through walls, and will hurt and become wounded when beaten with an iron baton. However, a Spirit Body is capable of completely disregarding such physical interference. Attacking a Spiritual Body with a baton or sword (unless they are magical items) will only hit empty space.
When Servants materialise, they acquire Material Bodies in this world. They can also switch to Spiritual Bodies through their will. Spiritual Bodies have the advantages such as low mana consumption, and difficult to be detected by enemies. One of the properties of a Spiritual Body is that it is unaffected by physical interference, but conversely it is difficult for a Spiritual Body to affect a Material Body. As a result, Servants Materialise when engaging in combat.
Although both are Material Bodies, the composition of Servants and Humans are drastically different. Naturally, it is impossible to transplant a portion of a Servant’s Material Body to a human. However, Emiya Shirou was able to successfully transplant Archer’s left arm to replace his own lost left arm. How is this possible? It is because Shirou and Archer – Heroic Spirit Emiya are the same person.

[] Fate/complete material III: World material - Records of Heavens Feel - Servant System: Class, p.015 Class
A "Servant Class" is a container prepared for materialising a Heroic Spirit that is summoned into the current era as a Servant.
There are seven Servant Classes: Sabre, Lancer, Archer, Rider, Caster, Assassin and Berserker. Since there cannot be repeats of any one class, the seven Servants participating in a Holy Grail War will be of different classes.
Heroic Spirits determine their classes on the basis of their characteristics, and then summoned as the Servant of the corresponding class. For instance, the only class appropriate for Artoria is Sabre, but Hercules, who was said in legends to be proficient with all weapons, can be summoned into all classes but Caster. The affinity between the Master and the Heroic Spirit will determine which class the Heroic Spirit will be summoned into. However, the Einzberns, as one of the "Three Founding Families" and well-informed of the rules of the Servant system, was able to preemptively interfere with the system and summon Hercules as Berserker.
Among all the classes, Sabre, Lancer and Archer are also called the "Three Knights". They are frequently Heroic Spirits from the Age of Gods when sorceries were common. Due to high magic resistance, modern magi are unable to inflict damage to them.
The Assassin class is special, as the only qualifying Heroic Spirits are the Hassan al-Sabbah's.
Saber
Knight of the Sword. The compatible Heroic Spirit naturally needs to possess legends as a knight of sword, as well as the highest levels of attributes in all but MGI. Class Abilities include Magic Resistance and Riding. Also, compatible Heroic Spirits usually excel in delivering powerful burst attacks.
Lancer
Knight of the Lance. Its high qualifying conditions are second only to Sabre. Attributes are excellent overall, in addition, AGI must be high. Of course, Servants of this class are proficient in hit-and-run tactics that capitalise on range and speed. This class includes many Heroic Spirits who were knights.
Archer
Knight of the Bow. A class that excels in possessing powerful Noble Phantasms. The qualifying condition is not attributes, but the possession of powerful projectile weapons or special abilities related to projectile weapons. Highly effective as scouts. They have not only the Magic Resistance ability of the Knight Classes, but also the class ability of Independent Action.
Rider
Mounted soldier. Heroic Spirits who rode mounts (not limited to living creatures) qualify for this class. Although attributes tend to be lower compared to the Three Knight Classes, this is compensated by the abilities of the mount described in legend. Besides Magic Resistance, class abilities also include high Riding.
Caster
Magus. Qualifying conditions only include mastery of sorceries of the highest calibre. Due to this trait, the qualifying Heroic Spirits tend to have low combat abilities. In addition, since the majority of Servants have Magic Resistance, this class is thought to be the weakest of all.
Assassin
Assassin. The only qualifying Heroic Spirits are the generations of Hassan al-Sabbah's, and one of them would be summoned. All of them do not have glorious legends as heroes, thus possess low attributes. Class ability is Presence Concealment, and the use of this ability during battle is the lifeline of Assassin.
Berserker
Mad Warrior. Heroes who have gone berserker during battle qualify for this class. Normally it is considered ideal if a Servant can wield power at the level of the original Heroic Spirit, but "Mad Enhancement" allows for the attribute enhancement of the Servant beyond the ability of the original at the cost of sanity. A class originally used to enhance weak Heroic Spirits. - ↑ Fate/Grand Order - Jeanne Alter Interlude: That Which Must Be Corrected

In Fate/stay night, all of the Servants' alignments can be viewed on their respective status screens.
The first part indicates the principles they consider important, and the second part indicates personality.
Below is a complete list of alignments featured in the game, for comparison purposes.
Saber: Lawful Good
Lancer: Lawful Neutral
Archer: True Neutral
Rider: Chaotic Good
Caster: Neutral Evil
Berserker: Chaotic Insane
Assassin: Lawful Evil
Kojirou: Neutral Evil
Gilgamesh: Chaotic Good
Saber Alter: Lawful Evil
While a difference in personality generally won't be too much of a problem, a difference in principles will inevitably lead to friction.
Saber and Gil would be a good example of that.属性【その他】

•Alignment
A status showing a clear representation of the mentality of the Servant. It represents a combination of the policy they place importance on and their personality, policies being "lawful, neutral, chaotic" and personalities being "good, neutral, evil". These are different from the fire, wind, and other alignments of magi.
Non-matching personalities won't result in major discord, but differing policies will result in difficulty in a Servant resolving differences of opinion with another Servant.
Lawful Artoria and Chaotic Gilgamesh will often have differing opinions despite their personalities both being the same "good".
•Parameter Rule
A set of rules for representing the rank of a particular status. They range from A~E. EX is in a league of its own, representing powerful to the extent of rendering comparisons meaningless. If we assign numbers to ranks, then E=10, with each subsequent rank increasing by +10. Ranks with “+” such as A+ and B+ can momentarily multiply its associated numerical value. For instance, C+(30) can temporarily boost its power to 60, exceeding Rank A (50). Also, “++” represents multiply by three times.

TYPE-MOON Ace Volume 10 Question: So there is still quite a bit of background information that has yet to be revealed.
Narita: That’s right. One of the most core pieces of information had been about the conditions for becoming a Heroic Spirit. This was revealed in a bonus novel that came with the UBW 1st season BD box. About how Merlin is still alive in the present so he can’t become a Heroic Spirit. As Gilgamesh is also a fellow clairvoyance user, I asked about the state of Gilgamesh’s memories when he’s summoned. The answer I got was that Gilgamesh can see the possibilities of various parallel worlds if he so chooses, but the Throne adjusts the memories and knowledge of the Heroic Spirit according to the world they are summoned in, so he won’t be confused by having multiple sets of memories. I was told that even if he did use clairvoyance to see the possibility of a world where he was swallowed by the mud of the grail, Gilgamesh would reject that world line as being nonsense. I heard a bit of the workings of the Greater Grail, what it was based on, and other bits of important background information for Fate, but I believe Nasu will one day write the story of how the Greater Grail was disassembled! - ↑ 57.0 57.1 57.2 Fate/Grand Order - Hassan of Serenity Interlude: That's Why I'm Going to Die Here, As Myself

[] Fate/EXTELLA material - Encyclopedia: Artoria [Servant], p.097 [T] Artoria [Servant]
A mysterious heroine who briskly sets foot on the chaotic new SE.RA.PH.
Like Iskandar, she is a Top Servant.
Her true identity is shrouded in mystery, and there are no plans to reveal it during EXTELLA.
She is here strictly to play a cameo role. Her stance is, "I don't really know anything about Altera, but all I have to do is defeat evil, right?" Because she is utterly free to do as she likes, she fits in no matter where she goes.
Since she has no influence on the main story, she has no real reason to be concerned with its proceedings.
Yet despite her seemingly unimportant role, Artoria also has the responsibility of cutting down and killing Altera with Excalibur if she becomes too much to handle. She is truly the ultimate doomsday device.アルトリア【サーヴァント】

[] Fate/EXTELLA material - Encyclopedia: Iskandar [Servant], p.097-098 [T] Iskandar [Servant]
A Rider-class Servant in Altera's army.
He was born in the 4th century BC to the royal family of Macedonia, a kingdom in Greece.
Thanks to the influence of his mother, Olympias, he was fascinated by the exploits of heroes in mythology. He believed that he was the son of Zeus (who was also regarded as an Egyptian god by the name of Amun).
He inherited the throne at the young age of twenty, and began his great conquest by uniting the Grecian states. He raised an army and led them in a campaign to the East, not only conquering the great kingdom of Persia, but also many of the kingdoms under its control, beginning with Egypt.
The name Iskandar was given to him by the Arabs and the Persians. His campaign to the East went as far as India. There, his troops and generals complained of fatigue, and so he turned back to Babylon, where he suddenly passed away.
He created the greatest empire in the history of mankind as a conqueror, but his dying words, "Leave everything to the strongest." ended up splitting it apart instead.
Today, the Heroic Spirit Iskandar is a Top Servant, known among his peers as the "King of Conquerors."
When the Moon Cell senses that Altera has been released, it summons him to do battle with her. However, being unaccustomed to fighting on SE.RA.PH., with all its subtle differences to the Earth he lived and died on, he approaches the fight as a kind of warm-up.
Because of that, he loses. Altera then declares that his life belongs to her, and forces him to join her army. (This sort of thing is bound to happen when you don't play with your full attention on the game...)
Technically, this also makes him a Servant of Altera's Master, but Altera treats them both as if they were the same rank.
Altera understands that her victory over Iskandar was a matter of circumstance, and that they are evenly matched in terms of strength. While, subsequent to their fight, she does wield power over him, she does not consider him to be beneath her — nor does she look down on Jeanne, whom she recruits in a similar fashion.
Iskandar understands that as well; but accepts his defeat with dignity. From then on, he pledges to assist Altera in achieving her goals.
Make no mistake, however: He is loyal only to Altera, and not the Umbra' Star.イスカンダル【サーヴァント】

A Heroic Spirit of the Lancer class, he would no doubt be a Top Servant if he were to appear on SE.RA.PH.
He is a Hero who appeared in the myths surrounding the beginning of ancient Rom, and is credited with helping build the country. Born to the War God Mars and the beautiful princess Rhea Silvia, he was raised by wolves and went on to become the founding father of the empire. A divine ancestor of Nero, evidence of him can be seen in this tale when an emotional Nero shouts, "Magna Voluisse Magnum," the name of his Noble Phantasm.ロムルス【サーヴァント】

First, the Master performs a ritual to interfere with the Greater Grail, then the Greater Grail borrows the information of the main body of the Greater Grail in the Throne of Heroes.
The information (soul of highest purity of the Heroic Spirit) is blown into the container that is the Class, and the created copy of the Heroic Spirit is the Servant.
The Servant is an unstable existence that should not be in the world so its coordinates in the world have to be anchored, using the Master as the host. The Mater also has the role of supplying magic energy to the Servant.
When performing the ritual, the Master can designate the Heroic Spirit to be summoned by preparing a catalyst with ties to the Servant of his desire. When there is no catalyst, a Heroic Spirit with good affinity with the Master is summoned. In the case of catalysts for multiple Heroic Spirits (for example, the gates of Troy, the symbol of the Trojan War), the Heroic Spirit among the candidates that has good affinity with the Master will be chosen.

[] 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

[] Fate/Apocrypha material - Encyclopedia: Knights of the Round Table [Organization], p.156-157 [T] Knights of the Round Table [Organization]
The general term for the knights who left their names in King Arthur’s legend. They are called the Knight of the Round Table because they gathered around a round table along with King Arthur. The knights sitting around the table were all regarded as equal to one another, including the King himself, and they were admired throughout the country. Though the number of them varies according to each story, the standard pattern of thirteen knights is accepted in “Fate/stay night”.
In the “Apocrypha” world, the separate splinters from the Round Table serve as summoning catalysts for Heroic Spirits. From among eleven of the knights (with King Arthur and Galahad excluded), the one most compatible to the Master is summoned through it. Like an S-rare definite ticket. Whether it be someone like Lancelot, Gawain, Tristan or Percival, no matter who comes, you truly get the cream of the crop. During these current times where subspecies Holy Grail Wars are popular, they appear in the market at high prices. Naturally, there are many frauds and swindlers. It’d be nice if a certain oil magnate got swindled.円卓の騎士【組織】

[] Fate/Grand Order - Camelot: The Sacred Round Table Realm - Section 14: Hidden Research [T] Holmes:
You are Master Gudao, and she is Mash Kyrielight.
Over there is Xuanzang Sanzang, a Servant. And you are Tawara Touta, a Servant.
And you… Oh? What a surprise. You’ve befriended a knight of the Round Table.
A pleasure to meet you, Sir Bedivere. I mustn’t forget to extend my friendship to a fellow Englishman.
1.How do you know my name!?
2.How do you know everyone’s true names!?
Holmes:
Elementary, my friends.
Mash:
(There’s his signature line! He’s the real Mr. Holmes!)
Holmes:
We’ve already made contact, through an exchange of information before you came here today.
Mash:
Information?
Holmes:
You safely recovered the intelligence that I left at the Magic Association in London, right?
All I did was organize the documents, but I believe I did you a valuable service.
I picked out only the information you needed, and arranged it in a manner that was easy to understand.
At that point, you’d already accepted me as a collaborator aiding you from the shadows.
1.Come to think of it…
2.Andersen did say something…
Mash:
Yes, Andersen mentioned that someone had already organized everything before he started his research!
So it was all thanks to Mr. Holmes!
Holmes:
Yes. If I had made it too easy, Makiri would have found out.
I arranged it so that only a truly wise man would come to realize its meaning, in his pursuit of truth.
You needed to know that information. Not as observers, but as the investigators of this murder mystery.
1.Murder mystery?
Holmes:
Indeed, a murder mystery. A case on a scale unlike any I have encountered. “The Exhaustive Slaughter of Humanity by the Incineration of the Human Order.”
Truly, a case of mythic proportions. Is it any surprise that I would appear on the scene?
Bedivere:
…Um, Gudao, Lady Mash, I’m sorry to interrupt when you’re so excited, but…
Who is he? Holmes… I remember no knight by that name…
Holmes:
How tragic.
It’s true that I was never knighted as a “Sir,” but the man who recorded my exploits received that honor.
Bedivere:
? The man who passed on your feats was a knight? Erm… my lady?
Mash:
Yes, Sir Bedivere. Mr. Holmes is the world’s most famous detective.
Your class is… Caster, probably? You’re the genuine father of all detectives.
Ahh, if only comms were up and running, the Doctor would be overjoyed!
I can barely contain my own excitement! Sherlock Holmes was real!
In other words, Sir Conan Doyle’s novels were Dr. Watson’s memoirs!
Holmes:
Heh. Our humble attempts to earn a living were worth it after all, if they brought this angelic child such joy.
But Miss Kyrielight, my true self is nothing like the man you imagine me to be. Sadly, that story will have to wait for another day.
Right now, I cannot accept you as a client, Mr. Gudao.
Mash:
Oh… Really?
Mr. Holmes just gave us his opinion without sugarcoating it at all… it really is him…
Holmes:
Hahahahaha! What an avid reader! You know me so well!
…Hm. There are many things I wish to help you with, but there are priorities to follow.
I have been charged by Sir Babbage to uncover a mystery.
He only left behind a slight shred of his intellect, but even that fragment was like a galaxy of brilliant genius.
Until this case is concluded, I cannot join Chaldea.
That is, however, not a critical problem. I shall leave the battle to your heroes.
I am a detective. I have no interest in justice or glory. I merely solve mysteries. It is my duty to do so.
Mash:
(H-He’s exactly how I imagined him!)
1.You’re saying that you just got here before us?
2.What could the mystery be…?
[1] Holmes:
Exactly! I opened the trap door to invite you in!
[2] Holmes:
I’m going to give you a lecture on just that. We’ve a long road ahead, after all.
Sanzang:
You’re saying that you’re on Gudao’s side, but you can’t join us?
Holmes:
Yes. My friends, you have come to this academy in search of knowledge.
The Old Man of the Mountain probably impressed on you the need to know everything, correct?
Thus, you must go to the center of the academy. I also have business there.
The core lies a distant 500 meters below the surface. These tunnels were deliberately designed to resemble an underground labyrinth.
I will lead the way to the core. You’ll clear the traps with your bodies.
I’m sure this will be a rewarding collaboration. Now, let us make haste. Infinite knowledge awaits us!
Bedivere:
We’ve come to work together with Master Holmes… Are you sure about this, Gudao?
1.Let’s trust the detective.
2.We share a common goal.
Fou:
Foh. Foh, fooh!
Bedivere:
I see. I was never good at dealing with his type. He gives off the same odor as Merlin…
Mash:
Master, mana signatures detected! Something’s coming!
This is the same as London — autonomous familiars!
Holmes:
So the defense systems are still active after all! I was right to wait for your arrival!
My existence is currently unstable, so I cannot engage in combat. I have high hopes for your performance!
[battle]
Holmes:
In any case, what precisely is the Academy at Atlas?
A good question, Mister Gudao.
That which is so called bases itself in the other Atlas Mountains (もう一つのアトラス山, mou hitotsu no Atorasu-san?), situated in Egypt -- an academy for Alchemists.
It is referred to also by the appellation of "The Giant's Pit" (巨人の穴倉, Kyojin no Anagura?, lit. "Giant's Pit-Cellar").
One of the three primary branches of the Thaumaturgical Association --
an institution that specializes in aggregation (蓄積, chikuseki?, lit. "accumulation") and appraisal (計測, keisoku?, lit. "measurement").
Diverging from the modern practice of Alchemy (現代錬金術, Gendai Renkinjutsu?, lit. "modern Alchemy") that has since the medieval period entered the vogue,
they are an organization that conducts inquiry (解明, kaimei?, lit. "elucidation") into the basis of Magecraft (魔術の祖, Majutsu no So?, lit. "the forefathers / origins of Magecraft") and the Laws of the World (世界の理, Sekai no Kotowari?, lit. "the principles / rationalities of the World").
Though they are indeed Magi, I've heard that they're predominantly academics possessed of scant Thaumaturgical Circuits (魔術回路の乏しい, Majutsu-Kairo no Toboshii?, lit. "a destitution of Magecraft Circuits").
As an inevitable consequence, within the course of their study of Mysteries, they came to rely not upon Mana, but upon a great variety of instruments.
Said instruments evolved in form so as to closely resemble those technologies employed in scientific inquiry.
Pseudo-Spiritrons (疑似霊子, Giji-Ryōshi?, lit. "pseudo-spiritual particles") ...
Making use of the soul as a quantifiable (観測可能な, kansoku-kanō-na?, lit. "capable of being observed") energy,
they were able to coin (創造, sōzō?, lit. "create / fabricate") Homunculi -- organisms possessed of Thaumaturgical Circuits.
1.It’s really dangerous, got it.
2.Why’s it called the Titan’s Pit?
[1] Holmes:
A simple understanding! Very good!
[2] Holmes:
Hm. In Greek mythology, remember that titan who held up the world? His name was Atlas.
Perhaps they inherited his duty.
The Atlas Academy has always been in the Atlas mountains. I’ve heard that its naming was just a simple decision.
The alchemists of the Atlas Academy are descended from the goddess Isis, the ancestor of magi in Egyptian mythology.
Its appearance in this Egypt may be thanks to that connection.
Bedivere:
They hid themselves underground in their study of magic… no wonder I’ve never heard of this school.
But I see no students. Is the Atlas Academy destroyed?
Holmes:
…No. According to my investigations, the Atlas Academy has operated from before the Common Era into the year 2016.
The fact that we haven’t seen anyone is probably…
No, let us avoid conjecture. All will be clear once we reach the core.
An underground academy full of mysteries. Laboratories built with unknown technologies…
It may be the ideal shelter. Or perhaps, it is little more than a mass grave.
Let us pursue the truth with hope in our hearts.
Bedivere:
The construction of this place is rather convoluted. It’s more like a labyrinth than an academy.
There have only been forks with two paths as we’ve descended, but turn back and you find yourself at yet another fork.
It feels intended to confuse the traveler. Almost as if…
Holmes:
Indeed, it is designed to confuse anyone trying to get out. One can enter, but leaving is no trivial feat.
Mash:
It’s the opposite of what you’d imagine as a defense against looters. I wonder why it’s built this way.
Holmes:
They feared people leaving more than they cared about visitors.
The Atlas Academy is an assembly of geniuses. They each have their own independent workshops, within which they conduct their research.
There are no taboos in this place. No penalties to prevent the creation of the most unethical of weapons.
There is only one rule here. That which is created here must never leave.
That is the founding principle of the Atlas Academy. They have observed this rule for over two thousand years.
If I were to name an exception, it would be the seven contracts created during the founding of the academy.
The Atlas Academy is bound to cooperate with someone who possesses one of these contracts.
I’m sure they posed no small source of headaches to the headmasters. They probably thought their predecessor created the contracts on a whim.
As of the year 2000, four contracts had been recovered, but the locations of the remaining three were unknown.
[alarm]
Holmes:
Oh, the automated defenses activated in the middle of our conversation! Take care of them quickly, would you?
[battle]
Holmes:
…Hm. Mister Gudao, do you care to hear my impressions of your battle command?
1.Yes.
2.No.
[2] Holmes:
Ha ha ha, too bad! It appears you don’t know me as well as Miss Kyrielight does!
Sherlock Holmes never holds his tongue, never restrains himself, and never passes up a chance to annoy people!
I merely offer my estimations!
Holmes:
In other words, Mister Gudao, I’m frankly astonished.
The might of your collective combat ability is breathtaking, of course, but this is merely secondary to a greater factor.
I might say that the root of your strength comes from the form of your contract.
Never before has there been a Master connected to so many Servants.
Even more extraordinary is the duration of your contracts.
Originally, the summoning of Servants was meant to be a temporary measure, something created only for a given battlefield.
An indefinite contract like yours should be impossible. And I expect that you, Master Gudao, have no secrets.
In other words…
1.In other words? (gulp)
Holmes:
…By the way, Miss Kyrielight. I see that you still can’t make full use of your Noble Phantasm.
Why is that? Is it intentional?
1.Did you just change the subject!?
2.Mash still doesn’t know her true name…
[1] Holmes:
Ha ha ha. Hahahahahahahahaha.
Mash:
…Yes, I still don’t know the identity of the Heroic Spirit that granted me power…
Holmes:
That isn’t true. Its identity isn’t much of a problem. Your approach is merely incorrect.
But worry not. The solution will come soon. There is no problem I cannot solve with data.
…No, I apologize. I overspoke. There are still things you don’t know.
We are still locked in fierce baritsu with an outstanding problem — the culprit behind the incineration of humanity. The true nature of the King of Magic.
There is just no information about him at all.
He’s left many traces throughout the ages, but none of these clues lead directly to King Solomon.
If only there were someone who had met the King of Magic directly, we could perhaps parley with Solomon, or investigate him further, but I doubt there are any convenient witnesses to be found. All we can do is make guesses about him with the limited information we have.
1.Um… We’ve seen the King of Magic.
2.Well… We’re acquainted with the King of Magic.
Holmes:
! So you were the critical reference I needed! By all means, tell me everything!
What did he look like? What did he sound like? What style of magic did he use? And above all…
…Above all, I want to hear your direct impression of him.
Incongruity. Yes, that’s the word. Anything you noticed off about him will be key.
Please, try and remember. Any trifle is valuable, no matter how small. Did you notice anything strange about the King of Magic?
1.I remember what he looked like, but…
2.Come to think of it, something was…
[1] Mash:
I remember too, but I can’t match up my memories… My visual memory of him feels like it’s smothered in noise…
[2] Holmes:
Yes, something was…?
1.There was one thing about his appearance…
2.It felt like he wasn’t complete…
Holmes:
Something incomplete… Something incomplete, eh? If someone meeting the King of Magic for the first time felt that, then…
It must be something unintentional, so subtle as to make one think, “oh?” in unconscious confusion.
Miss Kyrielight. Could I ask you to sketch the suspect?
I want you to draw the King of Magic that you saw. Normally, even this minor act would trigger a punitive curse, but we are in the Atlas Academy. Its countermeasures against external curses are likely impervious. There is no danger to you.
Mash:
Understood. Drawing isn’t my specialty, but I’ll do my best to get his form down on paper.
And… if you don’t mind, Mister Holmes, I’d like to offer my opinion as well.
It isn’t the same incongruity that Senpai mentioned, but the King of Magic we encountered felt unstable in his words and actions. That’s what stood out to me.
His moods swung from violent to calm, and there were times he was completely indifferent to us.
To me, the changes all felt very sudden…
Holmes:
Hm. Describe it in detail. What was your dialogue like?
Holmes:
I see. Thank you, Miss Kyrielight.
That information was truly beneficial. It was enough to give me a slight grasp on the true nature of the King of Magic.
Mash:
Y-You’re welcome. The honor was mine.
Holmes:
From your encounter, I believe that the King of Magic’s personality resembles a kind of mirror.
Mash:
A mirror?
Holmes:
Yes. A mirror that reflects those who stand before it. It reflects the personalities of the people talking to it.
If a disorderly person is speaking, he becomes vulgar…
And if an intelligent person speaks, he answers seriously.
He answers savagery with cruelty, and calm with serenity.
I doubt that he lacks a self. This isn’t also the same as having multiple personalities.
It is likely that the King of Magic possesses multiple attributes. Or rather, an excessive number of them. That appears to be who he is.
1.Oh, so when Mordred was violent…
2.Oh, so when Andersen was a jackass…
Mash:
But he also said that he was indifferent to us, and that life had no meaning.
I don’t think there was anybody there who was thinking that.
Holmes:
There’s the rub. That is what I find frightening, Miss Kyrielight.
“Indifference to humans” is one of the truths about the King of Magic.
After all, he has already annihilated humanity. He is unlike the Lion King currently attempting to destroy this era.
He’s already won. He showed himself because victory was in his grasp.
Of course he would feel indifferent to us. He has already moved on to his next endeavor.
For example, imagine that there is a desk here. On top of the desk is a plan titled “Human Order Incineration.”
He has long since completed that work, and is sitting at the next desk.
Normally, that would be the end of it. Humanity should not have the option to fight him.
But a miracle happened. It goes without saying that I mean all of you at Chaldea.
A slim, blank space on the now unoccupied desk.
Mash:
…You’re saying that the King of Magic is indifferent to us because the incineration of the human order is a task he already completed?
Holmes:
Right. It would be more accurate to say that he is busy with his current work.
I am afraid to learn what that new endeavor is.
Listen, my friends. This is what we call a perfect crime.
There was no one who could prevent it. We’ve been completely outplayed.
A detective’s job begins after the crime has occurred… After victims appear.
Even if we can shed light on the truth behind the crime, there is no way to reverse the deed.
But you are different, Mister Gudao. You alone have the power to defy this rule.
The King of Magic doesn’t believe that you can, and that is the sole weakness in his diabolical atrocity.
Holmes:
Rejoice, my friends. We’re almost at the core. Many answers await us ahead.
The Old Man of the Mountain sent you here for two reasons.
The first concerns this singularity. You are here to acquire information on the Lion King’s goals and holy lance.
The second has to do with all seven singularities. In short, it relates to one aspect of the mystery behind the incineration of the human order.
I am prepared to help you answer both of these questions. But before that…
[alarm]
1.Before that, we have to clear out these defenses, right?
2.Right on time!
Holmes:
No. I have a warning. Rather, a declaration.
The greatest reason I have come to you now is because Chaldea’s eyes cannot reach this place.
I will say this while I can. I do not trust Doctor Roman.
[battle]
Mash:
So this is the core of Atlas… There’s a sky in this underground chamber, Master!
Bedivere:
A space large enough to contain a town… To think someone could build such a massive cavern underground…
This indeed seems to be an academy. It contains all the things people need to live.
I’m sure the students find it wholesome as well, even if that sky is man-made.
Holmes:
Furthermore, those obelisks in the center are the Atlas Academy’s greatest storage media, the pseudo-spiritronic processor Trihermes.
1.This is the… original?
2.Now that you mention it, this construction…!
[1] Holmes:
That’s right. What you have in Chaldea is nothing more than a copy of this.
It is photonic crystal, which has even been called Philosopher’s Stone. It is an out-of-place artifact impossible for current terrestrial science to create.
[2] Mash:
You’re right! It’s the same as the control room in Chaldea!
Though… most of it is buried in sand…
Holmes:
Now, I’ve already acquired access rights. Normally, one would ask the staff for assistance…
But as you can see, we are in a completely unoccupied ruin. With apologies to its owners, we will have to use it ourselves.
Mash:
…Yes. I wonder why the staff is absent, though.
The entrance is buried in sand, but the facility seems to be in working order-
Holmes:
The reason is obvious — this is the Atlas Academy of 2016. It is from your era.
Mash:
The Atlas Academy of our time… Oh! Da Vinci mentioned that.
She said there was another temporal aberration within the Egyptian territory, already removed from this time period.
So this is what she meant!
Holmes:
Indeed. The magi have been incinerated, but the academy itself remains.
Now, then. Let us proceed to the main topic. All events are recorded in Trihermes.
Though we, not being Atlas alchemists, may be unable to learn all of that information…
Unadulterated truth… We should be able to find what we need if we look for the outcomes alone. We’ll see the outcomes of the mathematical operations, at least.
1.What are you looking for?
2.It isn’t nice to spy on people, you know.
[1] Holmes:
I’m ashamed to say that I need records which even I cannot recall. I seek the document of a certain, secret event.
[2] Holmes:
Ha ha ha ha ha ha! That’s not it at all. I’m interested in the honest truth!
There’s not a speck of guilt on my conscience, nope! The truth excites me, not the ecology of private individuals!
Holmes:
Now, Trihermes, bird that soars through the afterlife! Answer my query!
I seek an incident that has been erased from all records. Show me the unabridged record of the Holy Grail War that took place in Japan, in the year 2004!
Mash:
The Holy Grail War!? You mean Singularity X?
T-The Director did say that a ritual called the Holy Grail War took place in Singularity X, but…
Do you mean that the truth of humanity’s incineration- That the spark was lit there!?
Holmes:
No, it didn’t begin there. But it is an important factor.
The Holy Grail War is a grand ritual in which Heroic Spirits are summoned and made to fight each other, after which the surviving Master and Servant obtain the Holy Grail.
You know that much, Mister Gudao?
Good. Now, it really did happen. And the final occurrence was in 2004, in the Japanese city Fuyuki.
I investigated the records of this war, but despite my efforts, I learned nothing about its course or its conclusion.
All I could find was data on the beginning of the Holy Grail War; nothing but a list of the seven magi that gathered to fight in the war.
And, one of those individuals is known to you. Rather, his daughter, I should say.
1.Could it be…
2.Chaldea’s previous director…?
Holmes:
That’s right. I speak of Olga-Marie Animusphere’s father, the late Director of Chaldea.
He was a Lord of the Clock Tower who traveled to Japan in secret and fought in that blood-soaked ritual.
His name is…
…Hm. The results are back. It’s kind of sad that it doesn’t make any noise.
But, I’m glad to see that they were within my estimates. Now, one of my questions has been answered.
In 2004, the Holy Grail War took place in Japan. Its victor was Marisbilly Animusphere.
Trihermes recorded that he killed six magi and obtained the omnipotent wishing machine known as the Holy Grail.
Mash:
He… obtained the Holy Grail?
Before the human order was incinerated… before rei-shifting had been developed?
Holmes:
Yes. The record goes on. Marisbilly brought an assistant with him to the war.
In the year following the Holy Grail War, this person received a special invitation to join the staff of Chaldea.
It was unheard of for someone to become the head of the medical facility at age 22. So much that I would hesitate to call him a normal human being.
1.The head of the medical facility…
2.………
Mash:
Romani Archiman?
The Doctor… knew the previous director before coming to Chaldea?
Holmes:
Yes. What’s even stranger is that Romani Archiman’s history is completely unknown.
No matter how deeply I looked, I could find no records on him before the Holy Grail War. If we used Hermes, we could probably dig something up, but we simply don’t have time to sift through personnel files on billions of individuals, which change every year.
That is why I don’t trust Doctor Roman. Without a doubt, he is a human, and no magus, yet…
He is hiding something. It is something extraordinary. Something close to the truth of all this.
Mash:
……
Sanzang:
Umm… Can I ask something?
I’m not trying to complain that I’m tired of keeping quiet all this time, but…
You said that Marisbilly guy got the Holy Grail, right?
What did he wish for?
Holmes:
Unfortunately, Hermes has no record of his wish. It only shows the results.
According to Hermes, Marisbilly flourished as a magus after the war.
In the Clock Tower, Chaldea and the Animusphere family’s theories had heretofore been regarded as abstract and impractical.
But, a string of successes reversed the Animusphere’s fortunes. The Heroic Spirit summoning system was established.
Virtual experiments were conducted that allowed one to not only observe the future, but to interact with different time periods through rei-shifting.
Around 2004, Chaldea, previously a mere astronomical observatory, was built into a research facility.
Conventional reasoning would conclude that Marisbilly wished for prosperity.
He had no reason to wish for the incineration of the human order. According to documents, his personality was “hard-working.”
He had ordinary desires, ordinary envy, and he loved ordinary fortune. That’s the kind of man he was.
In that case, he may have been manipulated by a third party, or perhaps he unintentionally trod on a land mine.
Mash:
A third party… Might that be Professor Lev?
Holmes:
Lev Reynol was assigned to Chaldea in 1999, coinciding with the technology transfer for Observation Lens Shiva.
He was a pawn of the King of Magic. There is no doubt about that.
…This is the part that vexes me most, to be honest. Lev joined Chaldea with an agenda in mind.
In that case, it would mean that there was a problem at Chaldea before the Holy Grail War in 2004.
It’s possible that for Marisbilly, the 2004 Holy Grail War was just a career move which had nothing to do with incineration of humanity.
If true, I hate to admit it, but… It brings up the question of Romani Archiman.
We are left with an enigma whose activities are unknown, who is unrelated to the case, and who is a trivial nuisance that might as well not exist.
Sanzang:
What the heck!? That’s so sketchy!
1.Sounds just like Roman!
2.A mystery man that might as well not exist!
Mash:
Yes, how very like the Doctor!
Holmes:
In my view, he may well be an important player in this case.
Take caution in what you share with him going forward. He cannot be trusted until his secrets are revealed.
At the minimum, Romani Archiman knew about the conclusion of the Holy Grail War, and kept that information from you.
Holmes:
…Now, that’s all I wanted to know. It’s your turn now. But before that…
While I was looking through records on Chaldea, I found an answer for Miss Kyrielight.
I apologize for going off on a tangent, but do you mind?
Mash:
An answer for me…?
Oh, do you mean what we talked about earlier? The true name of the Heroic Spirit that granted me powers?
Holmes:
Indeed I do! I suspected the truth, but held back because I had no proof…
But now I can tell you with confidence. Are you ready to hear it, Miss Kyrielight?
Bedivere:
Wait. Lady Mash needs to discover that herself. It is not for us to say-
Holmes:
No! I will reveal it! Everybody’s figured it out already, anyway!
Only a fool turns one’s back on the truth. Is Miss Kyrielight a fool?
Absolutely not! Emphatically not, Sir Bedivere! What are you afraid of, in the first place!?
So what if nothing changes once she knows her true name? So what if she can’t activate her Noble Phantasm after hearing its name?
I declare that your misgivings are needless! After all…
Mash Kyrielight’s spirit is already whole! Her fears will not change whether or not she has a Noble Phantasm!
Therefore! Even if she cannot use her Noble Phantasm, she will never cease to rise to the occasion!
She will be brave and fight to the end, for the one thing she believes in!
Mash:
[speechless]
Bedivere:
[also speechless]
Holmes:
…Pardon me. I lost myself in the moment. May I reveal his name now, Miss?
The name of the Heroic Spirit who bequeathed to you a new destiny, and saved your life.
Mash:
…Master, do you mind?
1.Go ahead.
2.Too bad Roman isn’t here.
Mash:
…Yes. I would have liked for this moment to be a bit more special.
Please tell me, Mister Holmes. My true name. The name of this shield.
Holmes:
Very well. Then, I shall work my way to the truth, as a detective should.
To begin with, how did Chaldea stabilize its Heroic Spirit summoning system?
It was thanks to something which gathers Heroic Spirits.
Once, there was a gathering of heroes. A ritual of oaths, called the Round Table.
Chaldea processed that holy relic, used it as a summoning catalyst, and buried it within a compound body.
Do you understand, Mister Gudao? The weapon she wields looks like a shield, yet it is not.
The first Servant you contracted with would become the foundation upon which many Heroic Spirits would gather.
1.I knew it, somehow.
2.It’s totally a Round Shield.
Holmes:
A clever pun, to be sure. I applaud Chaldea’s engineers for this feat.
She holds the core around which the Round Table was built — the sacred Round Shield.
Hear me, Miss Kyrielight.
The second Heroic Spirit summoned in 2010 was Chaldea’s only successful Heroic Spirit fusion trial.
He decried Chaldea’s brutal experiments, but remained in the world to keep his host alive. Then, after the bombing of Chaldea, he entrusted her with all he had.
Your Heroic Spirit’s name is Galahad.
He was a sacred knight of the Round Table, and the only knight to succeed in his quest for the Holy Grail.
Mash:
Galahad, of the Round Table…
[Mash falls]
1.Mash!?
2.Are you okay!?
Mash:
Y-Yes… My legs felt weak, so I sat down…
But, I don’t feel pain, or surprise.
I’m just… very happy.
I finally know the name of the person who believed in me, and saved my life…
I’m just… so, so happy right now.
Have I done his name justice…?
Holmes:
See, didn’t I tell you? That’s just the sort of girl she is.
She would never forget her gratitude. Do you think her someone that would be disappointed in her savior?
Bedivere:
…Truly, you were right. Galahad chose well.
Even in a different age, and among a different people, he would surely entrust his legacy to someone like himself.
Holmes:
Well, I will leave the awakening of the Noble Phantasm to Mister Gudao.
Hermes is in poor condition. I believe it only has one search remaining before it loses power.
…I should apologize, as well.
I succumbed to the temptation of making it run background searches on the number of unsolved cases left in the world…
Mash:
Mister Holmes!?
Fou:
Foh!
Holmes:
Not to worry, it will function properly one more time. I am a man who never lets the truth escape.
You need to know about the Lion King’s holy lance Rhongomyniad.
Of course, I have heard of the artifact before, but this will be my first time learning of its nature.
Hermes, show us its true value.
……
…I see.
Mash:
(Senpai, I think it’s finished searching. Hermes sure is handy.)
Fou:
Foh. Foh.
Holmes:
Sir Bedivere, how much do you know of the holy lance?
Bedivere:
Nothing in detail. The king had several other treasures aside from the holy sword.
The holy lance Rhongomyniad was one of these. The knights of the Round Table never learned its particular details.
However, Merlin did refer to it the “Tower of the End.”
He called it a pillar of light far across the sea to the west of Britain. A tower that stands at the World’s End, beyond the horizon.
Sanzang:
A tower? But it’s a spear, right? Both of them are really long… so which one is it?
Bedivere:
That is beyond my ken… Master Holmes?
Holmes:
There are two holy lances, Miss Sanzang.
One is a gigantic tower that pierces this world. That is the essence of the holy lance, given form.
We were told that “the holy lance stands tall.” It actually is a tower, but it is out of human reach.
After all, it is at the World’s End. Thus, it is eternally distant.
The Tower stands beyond the world of humans, always watching over it.
Tawara Touta:
Hm, a tower with a commanding view reserved for the gods and Buddha, you say?
Holmes:
The other lance is in the hands of the Lion King. That one is like a shadow the Tower dropped onto the earth.
It is like a personal weapon that allows one to wield the powers and Authority of the Tower.
Mash:
So the Tower is the main body, and the lance is its remote terminal?
Holmes:
A satisfactory example, Miss Kyrielight.
The Tower stands at the end of the world, and its administrator wields the lance.
The question is, why does the Tower pierce the planet?
There is a theory that our world — the human world — is nothing more than one of the textured layers that wrap the surface of the planet, like a carpet.
To the planet, this is the consciousness of the intelligent lifeforms that reign supreme. In other words, our physical laws.
The “carpet” that maintains the laws of physics is our world. It is stitched to the planet so that it does not peel away.
This seems to be the phenomenon called the Tower of the End. It is also not limited to Britain.
There are multiple such pillars located throughout the world. One is the holy lance in the hands of the Lion King.
Bedivere:
So that’s the meaning behind the Tower of the End. The king held such a terrifying relic for years…
Sanzang:
It’s like a pagoda that people offer their faith in the Buddha to, right? I get it!
But what does that have to do with the Holy City? What’s the Lion King planning to do with the Tower?
Holmes:
…It’s likely that the Lion King intends to use the holy lance as the Tower.
The Lion King built the Holy City into a utopia, and gathered selected humans.
Not merely pure humans, but humans that will perform correctly under any circumstance.
According to Hermes’ calculations, the holy lance can absorb five hundred souls.
The Holy City was built atop the Holy Land in a single night. You may think it an impossible feat, but the truth is simple.
That city is the lance itself. The people brought to the city are meant to be stored within the lance.
The Lion King claimed that the pure humans would be protected, but the truth is that they’ve been sealed within so that they cannot escape.
Bedivere:
Impossible! That city is Camelot. It differs in small ways, but it is the castle of the Round Table.
It couldn’t possibly be used for such evil ends!
Mash:
No, Mister Holmes is right. That isn’t Camelot.
It’s true that Camelot was a castle built by the fairies. It also appeared in a single night.
But that… is different. I’ve felt something frightening since I first saw it…
It’s the outer shell of the holy lance Rhongomyniad. It can’t be something that helps people.
Bedivere:
Then… what about the people in the city? Under the king’s protection, are they forced into a life of oppression?
Holmes:
It is no matter of life or death. Everyone in the Holy City will be absorbed into the lance.
The holy lance is similar to the Atlas Institute. It is a shelter, Sir Bedivere.
Yet, it is no place to live. All within are processed as elements required for good humans.
Eventually, the Holy City will converge into a single tower. Only a compressed hell awaits those within the tower.
The people were not gathered to live in a utopia. They were collected as ideal samples of humanity.
Samples to be overseen by the Lion King for eternity. An example of humanity’s value, to be displayed in a show window.
Bedivere:
No!!! This is too disgusting to be the work of humans!
Sanzang:
……
Tawara Touta:
…I cannot judge whether the Lion King’s actions are good or evil. The king is protecting her own people. That is without doubt.
Sanzang:
Of course it’s wrong! What are you talking about, Touta!?
Tawara Touta:
Let me finish! The Holy City will go into the Tower.
What happens next? It’s obvious. The Holy City will disappear, and so will the Lion King’s army.
At the very least, the mountain people will no longer fight the Lion King. The Lion King will have shut herself away, along with her ideals.
Sanzang:
Oh… I get it. The fighting will end, then. For a while, at least.
“I will protect only the people of my land.” The Lion King is following that policy all the way through…
Holmes:
That would be optimal. I agree with Mister Tawara.
…That is, if it only went as far as Hermes’ analysis.
Mash:
…There’s more to it, isn’t there? The Lion King’s Holy Selection has a deeper meaning to it.
Holmes:
Yes. The Lion King will turn the Holy City into the Tower of the End. You all know the implications of that, I’m sure.
The creation of the Tower will turn its surroundings into the World’s End.
In exchange for creating a complete world known as the Tower, the world outside of the tower will disappear.
The Lion King is not only protecting the people of her own country. She intends to discard everything aside from her people.
And, that destruction has already begun.
This singularity is an exception among exceptions because it is already a place that exists nowhere in the world.
Sanzang:
…Oh. There’s nothing beyond the desert because this era is already cut off from the rest of history…
Holmes:
Correct, Miss Sanzang.
The party who both created this singularity and is now attempting to destroy it has long since ceased to be the King of Magic.
It is the godlike Lion King, going so far as to sacrifice a cornerstone of the Human Order in the quest to create an ideal city.
Sanzang:
………
Bedivere:
Everyone, let us return to the surface. We cannot afford to delay.
We must gain entrance to the Holy City before the lance is complete, and ascertain the Lion King’s intentions.
Sanzang:
I agree with Bedivere. Now we know why the skeleton boss sent us here.
Let’s hurry and meet up with the other skeleton folks. We need to tell them what we learned.
…Huh? But why didn’t the boss just tell everyone back then? It would have saved us a lot of time…
Tawara Touta:
Gudao needed to come here. Perhaps, to this desert, rather than this academy.
You can’t always depend on the aid of others. Even the first Old Man of the Mountain can only do so much.
Gudao still has something to accomplish in this land. That might be why we were really sent here.
Holmes:
[laughs]
Tawara Touta:
Hm? What’s so funny, detective?
Holmes:
Sorry. Was I laughing?
If so, it’s because your words were so full of implication. I couldn’t contain myself.
[later. alarms in the tunnels]
Sanzang:
Wait, there’s more of them on the way back!?
Holmes:
Of course. And this time, they won’t compare to what we’ve faced before.
Exit is not permitted at Atlas Academy. I said that, remember?
This will be our final battle in this lost underworld. Fight as wildly as you please!
[battle]
Mash:
Senpai, I can see light at the end of the tunnel! It’s sunlight!
Bedivere:
Our return was swift. It’s all thanks to Master Holmes.
Holmes:
Elementary, my friends. One cannot rely solely on visual memory when entering the labyrinth.
One must draw a concrete mental map while traversing the premises.
1.Impressive, detective!
2.Thanks, Holmes.
Holmes:
Hm. I’m glad I was of help in the end. And this is where we part ways, my friends.
Mash:
So… you can’t trust Chaldea after all?
Holmes:
Hrm. Chaldea does have its mysteries, but I am after a different quarry.
Its name is Phantom-
Ah, well, this isn’t really the time. I shall take my leave here, Mister Gudao.
First, let me leave you with a problem to think about. It is the simplest question concerning the incineration of the Human Order.
I’ve been thinking. Why did it originate in the year 2016?
Mash:
Eh?
Holmes:
Hasn’t anyone else considered the question? The King of Magic incinerated human history itself.
That’s just it. If he had done it at the start of the Common Era, the world should have ended without you ever being born.
But he began in 2016. The burning started in 2016, and traced its way into the past.
It was a flame that sparked in your 2016, and burned from there into the past.
Why did he do that? I considered the question, and came to one conclusion.
There must be a reason why the King of Magic had to wait until 2016. Let us suppose, for argument’s sake, that he is located in 1000 B.C.E.
About 3000 years of history must pass between 1000 B.C.E. and 2016 C.E. And, he needed to burn all of this.
Do you understand? The King of Magic didn’t destroy merely because he wanted to.
There was a need to destroy. The conclusion may be the same, but we cannot ignore this distinction.
1.It isn’t because he hates humanity?
2.Come to think of it, “indifference” means…
Holmes:
Right. Hostility cannot exist alongside indifference.
…However, this is where my contemplations become troubling. I mean my suspicions about the possible reasons, of course.
One hypothesis, which I mentioned, is that there is some significance in the length of time between 2016 and the distant past.
…Another, is that there is something beyond 2016 which even King Solomon could not see.
Solomon possesses clairvoyance that allows him to peer in to the future.
If there is something beyond that date which even he couldn’t see…
1.…Maybe the future never existed to begin with?
2.What if doesn’t exist because he destroyed it?
[1] Holmes:
I arrived at the same conclusion. I pray that we’re wrong.
[2] Holmes:
Yes, that is the simplest answer. I hope that’s the case.
Holmes:
Well, my friends, I shall take my leave here! The next time we meet, let me think…
Let it be in a bustling city, rather than a wasteland! I look forward to working together again in a city worthy of London!第14節 秘匿の研究

Legend
A demigod hero of Greek Mythology, he was born between the King of Gods Zeus and a human girl. He received the violent hatred of Zeus' wife Hera because of his origins and was tormented by the goddess at every turn. However, he entirely overcame the difficulties he had been given, and was enshrined as a god in the end.
Heracles had an extremely violent temperament as an infant, and grew up as a shepherd in order to obtain a gentle heart. Having grown into a fine adult, Heracles was recognized for several feats, and gained two children as well as the right of succession to the throne. However, Hera made Heracles go temporarily insane and he killed his wife and children, ending up in the role of a slave to the king to atone for his sins. Here the jealous king gave him a challenge, the famous Twelve Labors. The Labors were all things that a human could not achieve but Heracles completed them safely, and at the same time he was freed from slavery, he received an immortal body.
However, the adventures of Heracles and Hera's hatred did not end there. Hera's numerous artifices resulted in Heracles' poisoning by his own wife from his second marriage. In his final moments, Heracles cremated himself, surrendering to Zeus's judgment. The gods after consulting recognize Heracles' feats, and he was recruited as a god like his father, becoming a constellation.
Tactics
An excellent warrior, he possesses the qualifications corresponding to six classes excluding Caster. Other than specializing with the bow, he has mastered every weapon. However, all that is talk about times when he is not Berserker. Heracles as a Berserker has lost his rationality, and exists only to utterly defeat the enemy from the front as directed by Illya. Naturally, there is no such thing as detailed tactics, leaving it to physical ability and brandishing an axe-sword to strike. Astonishingly, with just that, it is a fact that he demonstrates hand-to-hand combat abilities superior to every Servant. Without breaking to even think about defense, he leaves it to his Noble Phantasm "God Hand."
Class Abilities
Mad Enhancements: B
The Class Skill that characterizes Berserker, it reinforces ability at the cost of reason. As Heracles' possesses the skill at Rank B, in compensation for losing most of his sanity, the levels of all his abilities rise. Heracles beat his harp instructor to death when he was a child, and had many episodes when he killed people in his rage without even hearing them speak. It seems that for Heracles, Berserker that receives "Mad Enhancement" was an easy class to adapt to. Focusing on controllability when out of combat, the rank of "Mad Enhancement" is suppressed by Illya.
Being close to the strongest Heroic Spirit, even restricted to simple direct melee as consequence of Mad Enhancement, Heracles was undoubtedly the strongest among the Servants. However, because of Mad Enhancement, a variety of sword techniques and skills, and a part of his Noble Phantasms was lost. Having his emotions also sealed off and not able to perform any personally motivated actions, only the reason within his core was not lost, having occasions when he felt something like the will to protect Illya.
Personal Abilities
Battle Continuation: A
A skill that allows for the continuation of combat after sustaining mortal wounds. It will also reduce mortality rate from injury. Cú Chulainn’s Battle Continuation represents “never give up no matter what”, while Hercules’ represents the ability to survive. The Noble Phantasm that allows for resurrection after death, God Hand, has exceptional compatibility with the “will not die easily” skill Battle Continuation.
The best result is achieved when a resilient body is combined with this skill.
Eye of the Mind (False): B
A danger avoidance ability based on Intuition/Sixth Sense, gained through many ordeals and adventures. Even though Hercules’ sanity was lost due to Mad Enhancement, this skill remained effective as it is nearly an instinct. When crossing swords with a seasoned swordsman like Artoria, he would not fall for half-hearted feints. It is such a troublesome ability for Hercules’ opponents.
Although monstrous in size, Hercules has the highest rank in Agility. As a result, it is very difficult to corner him.
Bravery: A+
With his brave and daring spirit, Herakles is able to neutralise mental interference such as suppression, confusion and charm. However, under the influence of Mad Enhancement, this skill is unable to take effect. While operating correctly, Bravery also increases the damage inflicted upon the opponent during melee combat. This skill allowed Herakles to defeat several monsters empty-handed.
Even the brave warrior’s heart was painted over by the insanity of Mad Enhancement.
Divinity: A
Being a mixed-race child of the King of Gods Zeus and a human, and becoming a god after death, Herakles naturally possessed the highest level of the Divinity skill. However, this matter became a disaster, ending with his complete entrapment in Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasm "Chains of Heaven" that grows in strength proportionate to the enemy's Divinity.
Noble Phantasm
God Hand: Twelve Labors
Rank: B
Type: Anti-Unit
Range: -
Maximum Targets:
A blessing of Gods, as well as a curse. It is a Noble Phantasm given to Heracles, representing immortality. This Noble Phantasm does not have an overt external manifestation such as a weapon or armour, but if you hazard to put a shape to it, the body itself can be called the Noble Phantasm. God Hand turns one’s body into a tough suit of armour and nullifies all attacks Rank B or lower, regardless the attack being physical or magical. It also has the effect of automatic resurrection after death. Because the resurrection effect has 11 uses, Heracles cannot perish unless killed 12 times. In addition, due to Illya’s immense magical energy, given enough time, the lives lost can also be regenerated.
Resurrection as well as attack-nullification. Besides these two effects, God Hand also possesses a third effect: rendering an attack that it has experienced before useless. Regardless how powerful is the Noble Phantasm that defeated Heracles, it would be completely nullified after he resurrects.
Nine Lives: The Shooting Hundred Heads
Rank: -
Type: -
Range: -
Maximum Targets: -
Among Hercules’Noble Phantasms, he trusted this one the most. It was the Noble Phantasm which Hercules used to slay the immortal nine-headed serpent Hydra once upon a time, taking the form of bow and arrow. After killing the Hydra, Hercules could even utilise techniques that emulate the ability of this Noble Phantasm when wielding other weapons. In essence, it is “a high speed attack consisting of nine consecutive strikes, as swift as if the attacks are overlapping”. Even when delivered via sword, spear, or axe, this technique still boasts power on the level of Noble Phantasms. Also, just like Cú Chulainn’s demonic spear Gae Bolg has a technique called “Gae Bolg – Piercing Death Thorn”, Hercules’ technique shares the “Nine Lives – Shooting of Hundred Heads” name with the Noble Phantasm.
Shirou projected this secret sword technique while projecting Hercules’ Axe Sword, thus annihilating the Blackened Hercules. While summoned as a Berserker, Hercules could not use Nine Lives. - ↑ 149.0 149.1 Fate/Zero Volume 1: The Untold Story of the Fourth Holy Grail War - Act 3 Part 4 -154:09:25

- Recognition
- Magic energy of Master
The three factors that affect the status of a Servant are land, recognition, and Master.
With respect to land and recognition, the closer one is to the land (cultural sphere) that was the stage of the legend of the Heroic Spirit and the more that spirit is known, the stronger he is.
The meaning of "strong" here is the Servant becoming closer to the strength, equipment of that of the legend. Through this blessing, the addition of another NP is also possible.
If Cu Chulainn had been summoned in his homeland Ireland, a castle, chariot, protection of sleeplessness, and the like would have been added probably. Also, if the magic energy of the Master is powerful, the Servant will become closer to his strength as in the legend.

Because Artoria has served under several Masters, she is a good example for demonstrating the effect that the Master’s magical energy has on Servant Status. Because Shirou’s Magical Paths were obstructed, Artoria’s ability cannot be called that of the best Servant while having Shirou as her Master. Artoria’s abilities rose when having Kiritsugu as Master. Her LCK status decreased since even Kiritsugu still could not provide sufficient magical energy, as a result the status was affected by the Master's way of life. When having Rin as a Master, Artoria was able to unleash her original abilities without being affected by the Master.

[] Fate/Side Material - Encyclopedia: Lancer [Servant], p.077 [T] Lancer [Servant]
Heroic Spirit of the lance. Requires supreme agility, as well as excellent close combat skills. Though they tend to be less flashy than the other classes, they are a very reliable type of Servant.
The Lancer in the story has a rough and tumble personality, but at his core he believes in justice and is easy to get along with. He is an agreeable youth acting out the role of one gentle in disposition yet strong in body.
His true identity is the great Celtic hero, Cu Chulainn.
If the stage of this Holy Grail War were anywhere but Japan, he would be a shining existence on par with Heracles and King Arthur.
As was mentioned in the story, he is a Heroic Spirit that specializes in survival, capable of returning alive no matter how hopeless the situation. Unfortunately, this time luck wasn't on his side.
It is said that in the midst of battle he would unleash a fearsome war cry, and at the same time his body would swell and bulge with muscle as his behavior became like that of a demon.
However, though he possesses the qualifications to be a Berserker there is no doubt that the Lancer class suits him best.
He responded to the summoning solely because he wanted to engage in a valiant fight to the death, but this simple wish was never granted to him.
He is a tragic Servant, who embodies the cynical notion that "wishes don't come true".ランサー【サーヴアント】

Legend
The great king depicted in mankind’s oldest epic – “The Epic of Gilgamesh”. He was an actual king who ruled Uruk, the capital city of ancient Mesopotamia during the Sumer Dynasty 5000 years ago.
A despot who possesses high divinity with 2/3 being God and 1/3 being human, and believed he was invincible. However, answering the call of people who were oppressed by Gilgamesh’s tyrannical policies, Enkidu, a man created by the goddess Aruru, was released to fight against Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh and Enkidu met and battled as enemies, but soon they began to recognise each other and rule the nation together. Gilgamesh gradually began to change after finding a friend who he considered to be an equal, and Uruk became unprecedentedly prosperous. Gilgamesh, as the greatest king, eventually acquired all the treasure on the earth.
The goddess Ishtar wooed Gilgamesh, but was rejected bluntly. As a result, Ishtar unleashed the Bull of Heaven in a fit of rage, wrecking havoc on earth. After her failure, Ishtar complained before the Gods and caused the weakening and eventual death of Enkidu, who could not resist the will of the Gods that created him. The death of Enkidu significantly impacted Gilgamesh, and as a result he set out for the underworld in order to acquire the potion of immortality. However, the potion was drunk by a snake, and Gilgamesh died in despair.
Tactics
Gilgamesh battles by shooting the originals of all Noble Phantasms like bullets via Gate of Babylon. The tactic yields excellent destructive power to magic energy efficiency. Since every Noble Phantasm is a bullet, the real magical energy used is merely the activation cost of Gate of Babylon. Because he possesses the originals of all Noble Phantasms, he can assault the weakness of any Servants. As a result, Gilgamesh has the advantage over most of the Servants in combat.
Because he has absolute self-confidence, he is able to calmly show himself before his opponents. However, depending on mood, he is also fine with scoring kills by raining Noble Phantasms behind the enemies’ back. The will of the king cannot be simply gauged by the concept of tactic.
Class Abilities
Magic Resistance: E
Magic resistance gained through the class ability of Archer. However, since Gilgamesh did not have any abilities that can resist magecraft, it remains at the minimum level of E. Its effect is merely light damage mitigation against sorcery rather than full neutralisation. The cause of his low Magic Resistance is probably related to his Master, Kotomine Kirei’s lack of magical energy. In reality, during the Fourth Holy Grail War, Gilgamesh’s Magic Resistance was elevated to C with Tohsaka Tokiomi as his Master.
Although his Magic Resistance is low, Gilgamesh is able to neutralise most sorceries due to having many items that defend against sorcery, such as the golden armour. The defensive powers of these items are quite high, as Rin’s sorcery was completely repelled.
If magi attempt to use large-scale sorceries and act as “mongrels” that impede the king, Gilgamesh will simply unleash a raging wave of Noble Phantasms and completely crush them without giving them the time to cast spells. (Translator’s Note: Gate of Babylon and Sword Spam are now officially categorised as a form of Magic Resistance.)
Independent Action: A+
With an Independent Action rank that sets him completely apart from the rest, Gilgamesh is able to operate without a Master. With a rank of A+ that exceeds even A, the support of a Master is unnecessary even while unleashing a large amount of magical power. It is an ability that bends the rules and allows for the continued materialisation of Servants even after the conclusion of the Holy Grail War. After being summoned as Archer during the Fourth Holy Grail War, Gilgamesh remained materialised for 10 years until the Fifth.
Since the Fourth Holy Grail War, the ability to freely operate without regard for the Master remained unchanged. However, the ability to remain materialised after the Holy Grail War was not gained until he was showered by the content of the Holy Grail. At the end of the Fourth Holy Grail War, Gilgamesh was absorbed for a while after being showered by the black mud spilled from the broken vessel of the Holy Grail. However, Gilgamesh could not even be digested by the mud that was filled with “All the World’s Evil – Angra Mainyu”. On the contrary, he was given a flesh body and regurgitated back into the present world. As a result, Gilgamesh was completely incarnated and continued to survive as an existence with a physical body. Also worth mentioning is that, thanks to the changed shape and personality granted by the potion of youth, the super egotistical Gilgamesh was able to live in the human society for 10 years without much trouble.
Personal Skills
Golden Rule: A
Being fated a life that is filled with riches. Gilgamesh lives the life of a nabob and has no money troubles. In the legend, he claimed all the world’s treasure as his own. The originals of Noble Phantasms preserved in his treasury were collected during this period. Although this ability seems unrelated to battle, it plays a great role in arming Gilgamesh.
Upon seeing Gilgamesh’s golden figure, Rin half-jealously called him “Gin-Pika” (Gold-glitter).
Charisma: A+
Often praised as the greatest king, Gilgamesh’s ability to command and lead great armies is excellent. Charisma is a rare talent, and a B rank is sufficient to lead a nation, but Gilgamesh has a rank of A+. At this level, it is not a matter of popularity or skill, but closer to something like sorcery or curse. An army led by Gilgamesh will have a tremendous increase in abilities.
An egotistical Gilgamesh radiating with self-confidence will sure boost the morale of his army to an extremely high level.
Divinity: B (A+)
Due to being 2/3 God, Gilgamesh possesses the highest level of divinity among the many Heroic Spirits. His level exceeds even Herakles, who is the son of Zeus and ascended to the Pantheon after death. However, Gilgamesh despises the Gods because they killed his friend Enkidu, unleashed the Bull of Heaven onto the earth, and caused him much trouble. As a result, his Divinity decreased.
He is the half-man-half-God King of Heroes born from the union of King of Uruk, Lugalbanda, and goddess Rimat-Ninsun. (Translator’s Note: Wait what? Half and half?)
Noble Phantasms
The Star of Genesis which Separates the Heaven and Earth – Enuma Elish
Rank: EX
Type: Anti-World
Range: 1~99
Maximum Targets: 1000 Persons
The sword that cuts and divides the World, with output matching or even exceeds Artoria’s Excalibur. Its power will further increase given the support of Noble Phantasms within Gate of Babylon. More correctly speaking, “Sword of Rupture – Ea” is the Noble Phantasm, “Enuma Elish” is the state under which Sword of Rupture – Ea unleashes its maximum output. By generating wind pressure strata, the attack crushes the enemies by simulating spatial rends. In addition, the names “Sword of Rupture – Ea” and “Enuma Elish” are all given by Gilgamesh. They are thought to be references to the Great God Ea (Enki) of the Mesopotamian and Babylonian myths, and the Genesis Epic of the Babylonian myth, Enuma Elish.
The most powerful sword that cannot be duplicated by Unlimited Blade Work. Gilgamesh calls it “something that knows the hellish planet before genesis”.
The three cylindrical blades spin in different directions, generating air pressure strata. Its power will not be neutralised even when colliding with Excalibur.
Gate of Babylon
Rank: E~A++
Type: Anti-Personnel
Range: -
A key-like sword that connects to the “Golden Capital”. The spatial connection with the treasury allows for easy access to the items within. The rank changes to E~A++ because Gilgamesh put all the originals of Noble Phantasms into the treasury. In other words, E~A++ reflects the rank of the items in the treasury. If the treasury does not contain a wealth of valuables, then it will not be a useful Noble Phantasm.
The favourite Noble Phantasm within the Gate of Babylon is the chain which has captured the Bull of Heaven – Enkidu. It is an anti-deity Noble Phantasm that increases in strength as the target’s Divinity increases. It was able to completely seal Herakles. - ↑ TECH GIAN February 2004 Issue - Pg. 157

[] Fate/stay night Premium FanBook, p.047 - Q: How strong are Servants? Q: How strong are Servants?
Nasu: Well you see, attack power is about the same as one fighter. A fighter has way too much power for one person too stand up against, but to destroy one city they'll have to refuel many times. But what makes these guys dangerous is that since they're spiritual bodies, regular weapons won't work against them. As far as destructive power goes, there are more numerous powerful weapons among modern ones, but as normal weapons won't do a thing to them, they're among the most powerful. Anyway, just as fighters can load a nuclear warhead, they each have their own Noble Phantasms and among the Servants there are ones that have ridiculously powerful ones. That's why when I meant strength being the same as a fighter I thought it would be easier to image. Oh and, if I were to say it in a sort of non-serious way, they'd be 1/4th of Tsukihime's Arcueid I suppose? The strength of one I mean. Against one Servant, Arc would probably win, but against two, while Arc's having trouble against the one, the other could get behind her and nail her... maybe.

Most of the Servants that can be summoned are divided into seven classes. Saber, Archer, Lancer, Rider, Berserker, Caster, Assassin. Each class has various compatibilities. Saber has the advantage over Lancer, for instance. And Lancer over Archer, and Archer over Saber. Rider over Caster, Caster over Assassin, and Assassin over Rider. And Berserker is strong against all classes, but weak when attacked. It's like a game of rock, paper, scissors. Keep this in mind when fighting the enemy.

[] Fate/Grand Order - London: The Death World in the City of Demonic Fog - Section 3: The Demonic Fog Laughs [T] Da Vinci:
While the make the circle, I'll help you pass the time. Previously, I spoke about Servant class affinity, so I think I'll expand on that. Just as each Heroic Spirit has a story to tell, they have classifications that explain how they were born. There are three attributes: Heaven, Earth, Human. Most Servants fall under one of these categories. Heaven includes Divine Spirits demoted to Heroic Spirits, children of gods, and the embodiments of legends. Earth includes legendary heroes that took hold in the land, fairies, and Demonic Beasts. Human is for heroes and great people who actually existed. I'm included in this group, as a great artist who actually existed. Heaven wins over Earth, but loses to Human. Earth wins over human, but loses to Heaven. And Human wins over Heaven, but loses to Earth. ...Humans believe in gods. However, gods that they stop believing in become "nonexistent." Native heroes and fairies have nothing to do with faith. However, they are no match for the gods that created them. ...And there are rare, special Heroic Spirits that do not belong in any of the three attributes. They are an exception of exceptions. --The Heroic Spirits of the Star. They do not belong to Heaven, Earth, or Human. Yet they exist on earth under heaven, and are born of humans. Servants of the Star have nothing to do with Heaven, Earth, or Humans. After all, they're an exception. That said, these are nothing more than categories. The effects aren't as pronounced as Class affinity, so it's not worth integrating into a strategy. ...And that wraps up this session. Summoning circle setup complete. Good luck in this era, too!第3節 秘匿の研究

Nasu Kinoko & Takeuchi Takashi • Character Discussion
>The catalyst for Kirei Kotomine's birth
Nasu: I do feel like we might have been a little too intense with Kirei, but I've learned my lesson.
Takeuchi: Yeah, he was pretty scruffy right from the earliest design drafts. The trademarks of characters like this are always developed and emphasised over time.
Nasu: Kirei is just full of mystery, and part of that was because we wanted characters to suspect him of being a boss character upon first glance. We also wanted the players to dislike him, like he was the reason they didn't want to go to church. Another key phrase for Kirei's character was "dark saint". It was merely his beliefs that put him at odds with the game's protagonists, and he himself is not what you would consider a villain. Of course, from most perspectives, Kirei totally looks like your common bad guy.
Takeuchi: Kirei was one of those designs that came off as "all wrong" at first, wasn't he?
Nasu: I'll admit the initial draft showed me a man who wasn't at all the way I had pictured Kirei in my mind... but I also didn't think it was altogether wrong, so I decided to give it a fair shake.
Takeuchi: Kirei was based on a vocalist I really like. I did my best to infuse Kirei's design with the same distinct presence and charisma that said vocalist possesses. By the way, why did we add that whole Bajiquan bit to his concept?
Kirei: When you asked me if Kirei is a fighter type, I replied that he'd be able to fight using Black Keys at the very least, much like Ciel. That's when you started incessantly demanding that he be a Bajiquan fighter...
Takeuchi: Oh... right. (laughs) I thought it sounded like something I'd suggest.
Nasu: It came up when I was trying to figure out what type of martial arts Kirei would pursue, and I felt that Bajiquan would be a good fit for him. The whole idea of being strict with yourself and honing your physical body was right up Kirei's alley. This particular aspect of his concept really blossomed in "Zero".
>Kirei's prowess
Nasu: You want to know exactly how powerful Kirei is? You'll have to ask Gen Urobuchi. (laughs)
Takeuchi: Well, after being doused in so much of the Holy Grail, I imagine his physical body has been weakened significantly from his "Zero" days.
Nasu: For someone who died like that to be alive ten years later is quite a feat in and of itself. Kirei has quite a few Command Spells on his arms, and we were actually thinking about using cool visual effects to show the Command Seals being expended when he was defeating Zouken in "stay night". Even a flesh-and-blood human could damage a Heroic Spirit by using ten or so Command Spells. Unfortunately, we didn't get the change to show this because True Assassin was less effective than we had all hoped. (laughs)
Takeuchi: I imagine people who played the game felt the same way, though it remains unclear as to whether it was a case of Kirei being too strong or True Assassin not being strong enough.
Nasu: True Assassin is a careful servant who never lowers his guard. He uses distance to defend against and ultimately finish the target. As his final checkmate move, True Assassin uses Zabaniya: Delusional Heartbeat, but even he wasn't sure what to think when he tried to use his Noble Phantasm on Kirei.
Takeuchi: He was like "This guy doesn't even have a heart...?"
Nasu: That was all the opportunity Kirei needed to get to Zouken... so it was definitely True Assassin's lack of preparation that resulted in Zouken's demise.
Takeuchi: I don't think anyone can really blame him, though. Why would anyone stop to think that this living, breathing human being might not have a normal human heart, right?
Nasu: Kirei's role in Sakura's route was essentially the opposite of the whole "wouldn't it be scary if Saber was an enemy?" concept in that we took the guy everyone hated and made him a formidable ally. I believe that particular idea was summed up well in that one scene where Kirei was running with Illya in his arms. While Shirou was the uncertain adolescent in "stay night", Kirei had already dealt with his uncertainties by "Zero", making him incredibly powerful. When infiltrating Einzbern Castle, Kirei asked "You haven't even been rock climbing before?" as if it was the most basic milestone of childhood. It makes you wonder about Kirei's childhood... (laughs)
Takeuchi: Speaking of being powerful... Who's stronger: Ciel or Kirei?
Nasu: Ciel is by far more powerful. Just take her lineage into consideration, and add to that her immortality. Kirei's prowess in "Zero" was rooted in the sheer number of Command Spells at his disposal as much as it was in his obsession with Kiritsugu. Suffice to say, it was his golden age. I believe the "Zero" Kirei could have defeated Ciel.
>Regarding Kirei's character design
Takeuchi: I wanted to make Kirei as manly as possible. The way his hair curls up at his collar was part of that, but it came to be described as merely "unkempt"...
Nasu: During the hanafuda mini-game in "hollow", Taiga mentions her desire to cut off all that mess.
Takeuchi: I'm certain Kirei likes his hairstyle.
Nasu: Every morning, he looks at himself in the mirror and predicts how each day will go based on the way his hair curls... like a horoscope!
>The message Kirei carries as a character
Nasu: He is the greatest of villains, but he is not a contradiction. His premise may be a paradox but he, as a man, is not. "stay night" was my attempt at telling a story without an absolute evil. When you have an obvious "evil" milling about in your story, it almost always turns out to be the same thing... the feeble pursuit of anything that might justify one's own convictions. When all was said and done, it would have been easy to declare both Kirei and Zouken as evil. While Zouken may have been a villain, he did hold himself to a higher standard and his ambitions were guided by something greater than himself. Meanwhile, the final confrontation between Kirei and the main character revealed that Kirei was a sort of "mirror" to Shirou. This whole story was based on the theme of "All the World's Evil", and in that sense you could say Kirei was "the other protagonist". The irony of Kirei's role is reflected in his name which, in terms of Japanese definitions, is actually quite beautiful. All of this resulted in my growing quite fond of Kirei despite the fact that he is not the main character, and that in turn led to him having way too many lines of dialogue. I had to go in more than once and edit out some of his lines.
Takeuchi: You know, some people believe that Kirei intentionally lost to Shirou at the end.
Nasu: Simply put, they just ran out of time. Kirei didn't really care whether he won that fight or not, but I will say that he definitely did not take it easy on Shirou. I think the illustration added for the final battle in the PS2 version was pretty cool.
Takeuchi: I really wanted to portray the fact that Kirei "doesn't have a heart" through an illustration, and I am sad that I couldn't. Regardless, Sakura's route was the grand stage for Kirei.
Nasu: I loved that scene where Kirei was running with ease as he carries Illya in his arms. In my mind, that represents the epitome of manliness! It really underlined the difference between him and Shirou, who is still a youth.
Takeuchi: Kirei is 193cm tall, which made Illya look even smaller. In a way, Kirei serves as a face from "Fate" as well.
Nasu: Yeah... and a really big one at that.
Takeuchi: Yeah, we might have made him a little too big. (laughs) The fact that he is second only to Berserker in size pretty much drives that point home.言峰綺礼

奈須 きのこ&武内崇 • キャラクター別対談
言峰はどれくらい強いのか
奈須:それは虚淵玄に聞いてくれ(笑)。
武内:でも本編の言峰は、聖杯の泥をかぶって肉体は『Zero』の時代より衰えたんじゃ?
奈須:あそこで死んだ人間が10年後も生きていただけですごいけどね。彼の腕には令呪が何個もあるんですが、実は『stay night』本編で臓硯を倒す時に消費される令呪をガンガン効果的に表示しようというアイデアもあったんです。たとえ生身の人間だったとしても、令呪を10個近く使えば英霊にダメージが与えられますから。でも結局はやる機会がなかった。ええ、思った以上に真アサシンが頼りなかったので(汗)。
武内:ゲームをプレーした人にはそういう快感もあっただろうけど、言峰が強かったのか真アサシンが弱かったのかは微妙かな。
奈須:真アサシンってどんな時でも油断しない慎重なサーヴァントなんですよ。遠くから獲物を投げて敵を仕留めるような。で、最後のチェックメイトで妄想心音を使うんだけど「こいつ心臓ないッス」ってヘタれた(笑)。
武内:「あれ、心臓出てこないよ?」ワキワキワキ。
奈須:その隙を突かれて、臓硯を狙われたというお馬鹿さんですから……。あれは詰めを誤った真アサシンが悪い。
武内:さすがに想定外だとは思うけどね。生きている人間に心臓がないなんて。
奈須:ちなみに桜ルートにおける言峰は、セイバーが敵に回ったら怖いというのとは逆に「今まで嫌だった奴が味方に回ったら頼もしいぞ」というコンセプト。イリヤを抱いて走るシーンにその全てが集約されています。『stay night』で士郎が迷える少年であるのに対し、言峰は『Zero』においてすでに迷える時期を抜けて一個人として完成している人間なので、ハンパない強さなんです。アインツベルン城に潜入する時も「ロッククライミングぐらい嗜んでいないのか?」って言ってましたけど、普通嗜んでないから。お前はどんだけ厳しい少年時代をすごしたんだよ、と(笑)。
武内:強さといえば、シエルと言峰はどっちが強いの?
奈須:シエルのほうが圧倒的に強いです。不死身だしあの血筋ですから。『Zero』の頃の言峰が強かったのは、彼が有していた異常なほどの令呪数と切嗣に対する妄執が原因であり、人生で一番輝いていた瞬間だったんですよ。あの頃の言峰ならシエルにも勝てる。 - ↑ Fate/stay night - Unlimited Blade Works route - Day 14: Knight stay night - Rin's clever attack

A cheat skill that evolved from Self-Modification.
There is no limit to how large she can get. Once the upper limit is reached, the upper limit is further increased. This is infinitely repeated. Basically infinite growth of infinite growth.
Anywho, she's a planet destroying universe level disaster, but giant transformation makes her lose complex intelligence and function. This skill cannot bear common sense, so one completely self-destructs.
■ Grow Up Grow - EX
Cheat Skill evolving from Experience Point Bonus.
Experience Point Bonus allows one to gain a bonus percentage of experience points after a battle. King Protea's skill cheats and changes it to "Always gaining Experience Points."
Personal Skills

[] TYPE-MOON Fes. Official Pamphlet 10th Anniversary Q & A Booklet:
Q: Since Saber and Gilgamesh have physical bodies in Fate/Stay Night, can Shiki see lines on them?
Q: Since Saber and Gilgamesh have physical bodies in Fate/Stay Night, can Shiki see lines on them? (@LestatDusk)
A: Not just when they have a physical body, the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception are effective even when they're in spiritual bodies. For Shiki [Ryougi], if the opponent can be recognized as "living" (not "life", but "live"), she can see the lines of death. For example, the ghosts in Overlooking View were dead, but they were "living" in the sense that they can interfere with the current world.
Also, why she didn't succeed against the Sarira in Araya's arm is because it belonged to an enlightened one who achieved "becoming extinguished, alive." To kill it by the lines of death means she has to decipher advanced "lines of death" levels higher than the normal concept of death. But what's sad about bones is that rather than having to do that, they'll turn into ash if you burn them. If you have time to be using Death spells, level up and beat it physically.Q:セイバーとギルガメッシュは、フェイト/ステイナイトでは肉体をもっているので、シキは彼らの死の線を見ることができますか?
A:肉体を持っているどころか、霊体のままでも直死の魔眼は効果アリ。式にとって“生きている(ライフではなくライブ)”という認識が当てはまる相手なら死の線は見えています。たとえば俯瞰風景の幽霊たちは死んでいるけど、現世に介入できる時点で「生きている」。
また、荒耶が埋め込んでい仏舎利に後れを取ったのは、アレが”いきながら入滅した”覚者のものだから。死の線で殺すには、通常の死の概念よりなん段階も高度な”死の線”を読み解かなければならない。でもそんなことをするより焼いてしまえばあっさり灰になるのは骨の悲しさ。ザキ系の呪文を使っている暇があるならレベルをあげて物理で殴れ、である。 - ↑ Fate/Zero Anime - Einzbern Consultation Room 6

[] Fate/complete material III: World material - FAQ with Nasu: Miscellaneous, p.136
Q: Who would be stronger if Servants fought the 27 Ancestors?
Q: Who would be stronger if Servants fought the 27 Ancestors? Servant's also have superhuman battle ability, but the 27 Ancestors are also superhuman monsters.... I got the impression that ORT, Primate Murder, Altrouge Brunestud, and so on were obviously stronger than Servants.
A: All I can is they're both powerful.... They're both beings that live in mystery, so the only thing that can be said is that it all depends on the situation the moment it comes done to ""having the means of killing the other guy somehow". Among those, Earth rules won't even apply to ORT in the first place and Primate Murder has the super advantage against primates so they're in a league of their own, I suppose. Speaking of which, for one Primate Murder, seven Guardians would be the appropriate amount.Q:サーヴァントと”吸血鬼の二十七祖”が戦った場合、どちらのほうが強いでしょうか?サーヴァントも人外の戦闘能力を持っていますが、二十七祖も人間離れした怪物ですし......。特にORTやプライミッツマーダー、アルトルージュ・ブリュンスタッドなどは、あからさまにサーヴァントよち強いような印象を受けました。
A:どっちもどっち、としか・・・・・・。どちらも神秘に生きるものたちなので、"なんとかして殺す手段がある"時点で状況次第としか言えません。そんななか、 ORTはそもそも地球上でのルールが成立しないし、プライミッツマーダーは霊長に対して超有利なので別格でしょうか。ちなみに、プライミッツマーダー1匹に対して守護者七騎であたるのが妥当なところです。 - ↑
