« Oh, I see, I see! Then let’s have her meet the man she both dearly loves and hates! Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player. That struts and frets his hour upon the stage. » |
(William Shakespeare) |
The GlobeWP: The King's MenWP (国王一座, Kokuō Ichiza?) is a Noble Phantasm designed for Shakespeare in Fate/complete material IV but was later discarded from his design in Fate/Apocrypha. It is Shakespeare's theatrical company, which was patronized by King James IWP. It permits him to accurately assume the aspect of another individual, passing scrutiny while disguised even if he interacts with those to whom the personage he portrays is well-known. It is used for the purposes of social engineering.[1]
He possesses the ability to use his "theatrical troupe" in Fate/Apocrypha, but it isn't shown to be classified as either a skill or a Noble Phantasm listed on his status sheet. Summoning a simple wooden puppet by speaking a command, he is able to accurately overlay it with the image of Victor Frankenstein, bringing about an "impossible miracle", commanding it to act in a way to bring about great confusion to the mind of Frankenstein while he leaves the area. Showing her a smile he had never shown in life, attempting to have her stop fighting, and about to grant her wish of being shown the love of a parent, she suffers great mental anguish and attacks it in fury, understanding that it is some kind of fake. Although it initially reacts surprised to the attack and takes damage and bleeds like a regular human, the corpse eventually fades away and is shown to have been shattered into woodchips.
In Fate/Grand Order, it appears as a Skill.

He is a legendary playwright of England -- gentlemanly and soft-spoken. Placing the importance of the Story above all else, he will lie and cheat and by any means conduct himself that he might witness the unfolding of a grand tale, beautiful beyond compare. Consequently, he tends to distance himself from mentality of the "participant," taking instead the perspective of an abstract, "Authorial" third person. His regard for others differs by individual, dependent on their qualification as a special existence, or "protagonist" -- he interacts with "normal humans" only in a shallow, dismissive manner; and expresses an extreme interest in "protagonists." In slight narcissism, he frequently drops such self-authored quotes as, "Things bad begun make strong themselves by ill." He's taken a liking to certain terminology from modern fiction, such as "Death-Flagging." Incidentally, there was an undocumented period of seven years in Shakespeare's lifetime ...

Legend
He is a poet and playwright (1564-1616) from the Elizabethan England. He is representative of authors of the western world, and still has a large influence over modern literature. He wrote too many masterpieces to list, but his four greatest tragedies rising above all others are "Othello", "Macbeth", "Hamlet" and "King Lear". His father was an affluent man in Stratford, but it is uncertain if Shakespeare received a higher education. There are many mysteries in his career, such as a gap of seven years. In his early days as a playwright, his productions revolved around comedy, then historical drama, before he changed his style for magnificent tragedy. At the same time, he also played as an actor in the underground, and he was the target of slander and derision from influential people.

Skills
- Enchant
The appendage of improved attributes and functionality to others their precious articles. Typically used to reinforce the battle capabilities of the Servant's Master, such that the Servant may act as an impartial observer and carefully document the Master's psychological state.
- Self-Preservation
Though he possesses no combat capabilities, so long as he preserves his Master's safety to the lowest possible degree, he maintains the skill to escape from nearly all harm -- meaning that he never engages any opponents himself. The Servant favours a "high risk, high return" tactic, where "returns" is related to the fruits of his observation.
Noble Phantasm
- The Globe: King's Men - Strength: Weak
Shakespeare's theatrical company, which was patronized by King James I. A Noble Phantasm that permits the Servant to accurately assume the aspect of another individual -- passing scrutiny while disguised even if he interacts with those to whom the personage he portrays is well-known. Used for purposes of social engineering.
- First Folio: When the Curtain Rises, the Applause Shall Be As Ten Thousand Thunders - Strength: Strong
A tome that may -- for a limited number of instances -- alter or falsify the outcome of a phenomenon occurring within sight. Though this Noble Phantasm is functionally useless in the face of an enemy that outclasses the Servant in every attribute, with skillful deployment, it has a chance of inflicting death upon otherwise defeatable opponents. Activated with the incantation "NON SANZ DROICT" ("Not Without Right" -- the motto on Shakespeare's coat of arms.
劇作家
シェイクスピア
英国の伝説的な劇作家。物腰は柔らかで紳士的。物語至上主義を掲げており、ペテンやイカサマをしてでも最高の物語を目撃したいと思っている。そのため当事者感覚が薄く、視点が作家的。相手を値踏みし、平凡な人間は冷淡に扱い、逆に非凡な人物には不遜な質問を繰り返す。"死亡フラグ"などの現代風物語的言い回しが好み。ややナルシストで「罪から出た所行は、ただ罪によってのみ強力になる」など、セリフに自作を引用する。

伝説
エリザベス朝時代のイギリスの劇作家、詩人(1564年-1616年)。西洋世界を代表する作家であり、現代のあらゆる文芸作品に影響を与える。代表作は多すぎて書ききれないが、強いて挙げるなら四大悲劇と呼ばれる『オセロー』、『マクベス』、『ハムレット』、『リア王』がある。父親はストラトフォードの有力者だが、シェイクスピアが高等教育を受けたかどうかは諸説ある。他にも経歴に7年の空白があるなど、謎が多い。劇作家として初期は喜劇を中心に創作し、後に史劇、壮大な悲劇へとスタイルを変えていった。当時は胡散臭い職業とされていた役者としても活動しており、権威ある人々からは中傷や冷笑を受けていたらしい。
