Asterios Asterios Asterios - a monster (hero) bestowed with the name of lightning, but he was almost never called by that name. His alias that was widely spread over the world is Minotauros, which means bull of King Minos. Born from Pasiphae - wife of King Minos that ruled over the island of Crete - and a bull, he is a monster from birth possessing the body of a man and the head of an ox. Greatly perplexed on how to deal with him, Minos ordered the famous artisan Daedalus to build "a maze that one cannot get out from" - in other words, the Labyrinth. The outline here is that a monster from birth would be defeated by a hero from birth. Asterios was slain by the hero Theseus, who had sneaked into the Labyrinth. Indeed; even if his essence was not wicked, since his deeds were evil, his fate was to be brought down. Even if - what he sought was not darkness, but light. Even if what he sought was not a gloomy maze, but the refreshing wind of nature and a plentiful forest. Asterios is a Berserker and his word are faltering, but it is possible to barely come to a mutual understanding with him, so he is by far more docile than the other Berserkers. So long as you perceive Asterios as Asterios, he will not betray you. Height/Weight: 298cm・150kg Source: Greek Mythology Region: Greece Alignment: Chaotic Evil Gender: Male A Magic Beast, Anti-Hero from birth. NOBLE PHANTASM "Eternally Unchanging Maze" Rank: EX Type: Maze An embodiment of the maze where Asterios was confined. Once it has been manifested, paths will take form in accordance with the popularity of the concept of "maze". Mata Hari Mata Hari A woman spy that played an active role in the backstage of the world. Among the spies, Mata Hari was probably the most odd existence of all. Being a strip dancer, she continued to make sport out of commissioner officers with her body, until finally being executed as a spy. Thinking back, the starting point of Mata Hari's life stumbled on a hole that she was helpless to do anything about. Her father lead the company he managed into bankruptcy and repeatedly had extramarital affairs. Her mother fell ill from worries and finally died when Mata Hari was around fourteen. Even her married life ended in failure due to her husband's habits of violence, alcoholism and infidelity. So for her, who wasted most of her youth to the selfish desires of men, to become a spy who made sport out of men was something that suited her nature to a frightening degree. --even if what awaited in the end was an execution. If she were to have a wish for the Holy Grail, that would probably be to build a happy household with her loved one. That being said, she is aware of her weakness as a Heroic Spirit and has resigned herself, thinking that such wish will probably never come true. Height/Weight: 165cm・49kg Source: Historical fact Region: France ~ Germany Alignment: Chaotic Neutral Gender: Female Actually, it is Margaretha Geertruida Zelle. Secret Intel: A++ This Skill does not conceal one's presence, but rather makes so that said presence itself does not feel like that of an opponent. Upon becoming A++, so long there is no indictment from the allies, it becomes impossible to perceive any hostility. NOBLE PHANTASM "Woman with Eyes of the Day" Rank: A Type: Anti-Army Materialization of the legend, a brainwashing Noble Phantasm. By means of a bewitching dance, trains of thoughts are numbed and others are turned into puppets. Servants without mental resistance Skills can also be targeted. Mash Kyrielight Mash Kyrielight The of figure Mash Kyrielight, a Chaldea clerk, who underwent a possession union with a Servant. This is called a Demi-Servant. Mash has obtained the True Name of the Heroic Spirit possessing her. The name of that knight is Galahad. One of the Knights of the Round Table from Arthurian Legends. The saint who was the only one to obtain the Holy Grail, just to return it to heavens. Chaldea had success in summoning Heroic Spirits with its own original method, but what lies at its foundation is the "place where heroes assemble" - the shield held by Mash, which made use of the Round Table and became the catalyst for summoning Galahad. Height/Weight: 158cm・46kg Source: Fate/grand order Region: Chaldea Alignment: Lawful Good Gender: Female Self-Field Defense: C A power displayed when protecting allies or an allied camp. Exhibits damage reduction surpassing the defensive limit value, but she herself is not included as a target. Also, the higher the Rank more the protective range spreads. Possession Inheritance: ? Succeed Phantasm. An unique Skill that Demi-Servants possess. One of the Skills that the possessing Heroic Spirit owns is inherited and sublimated in a self-taught manner. In Mash's case, it is "Prana Defense". A Skill of the same type as "Prana Burst", magical power is translated directly into defensive power. For a Heroic Spirit possessing a huge magical power, it would probably become a sacred wall that protects a whole country. NOBLE PHANTASM Lord Chaldea - Imaginary Noble Phantasm Pseudo Deployment/Cornerstone of Anthropic Principle The Noble Phantasm deployed by Mash in accordance to her instincts, without understanding the True Name of the Heroic Spirit possessing her. As for why it is crowned with the name of Chaldea, one would think that is because the wish that lies on Mash's basis is "to see the future of mankind". Lord Camelot - The Now Far Off Ideal Castle Rank: B+++ Type: Anti-Evil The Noble Phantasm that Heroic Spirit Galahad possesses. The ultimate protection that employed the Round Table - where the Knights of the Round Table sat at the center of the Castle of White Walls, Camelot - in the form of a shield. Its strength is proportionate to the will power of the user, and it has been said that, so long the heart doesn't break, those castle walls too shall never crumble.

Musashibou Benkei Musashibou Benkei The most famous warrior monk of Japanese history, who accomplished great deeds together with Minamoto no Yoshitsune. Reaching modern times, he is loved by a wide variety of stories such as kabuki and joururi. There is also many traditions transmitted to the present, such as Benkei's daunting pose and Benkei's weak-point. ...Musashino Benkei is a story. Valorous and faithful, the strongest great man. After fighting to the bitter end together with Minamoto no Yoshitsune in many battles, he at last fell bravely at the very end - surely the idealized image of a hero. ...Musashino Benkei is a hero. By swinging his halberd, ordinary soldiers have their bodies blown off at once; by roaring, a starving wold is put to run. It is by no accident that he was rumored to be the child of an oni. ...Musashino Benkei is an inestimable existence. Different from me. He is different, but I have impersonated Benkei in this manner. From now on, I wont let anyone call weak. This is surely the minimum atonement that I, who once lost my nerve, can do. This man's real name is Hitachibou Kaison. Despite being one of Yoshitsune's retainers, he ended up running away from the last battle carried out by Yoshitsune and his men. Deeply ashamed, he began to travel around Japan as the narrator of Yoshitsune's and Benkei's stories. His wish to the Holy Grail is to make Benkei's great renown eternal. Although that wish is already half-way granted, so long the deeply ashamed Kaison has a mouth, he will probably continue to narrate eternally. Height/Weight: 199cm・88kg Source: "Gikeiki" "The Tale of the Heike" Region: Japan Alignment: Chaotic Good Gender: Male Since the shin is not an actual weak-point, being kicked there will only hurt like hell Alexander Alexander From the 4th Century BC, the young prince of the Kingdom of Macedonia. A peerless pretty boy, a prodigy that caught the eyes of many sages such as the philosopher Aristotle, and an innocent child who loves the epic poem "Iliad" from the bottom of his heart. An existence that can be described as the personification of possibilities. At times studying philosophy and political sciences, at times absorbed in reading heart-pounding legends, at times piling up training as a soldier; even while blooming many talents, this young boy approved all and every possibility. Alexander - the King of Conquerors Iskander who, for whatever reason, was summoned in the figure of a young boy. Not only his figure, but even his mentality has became that of his time as a young boy. By no means he has lost his memories, but the memories from after his adolescence are somewhat "lacking a sense of reality". He will probably notice that the demise of human history means nothing but the closing of even his own possibilities. That would not please him. The embodiment of the mentality of one who attempts to take his very first steps will surely becomes of assistance to the Master's own steps. Height/Weight: 151cm・40kg Source: Historical fact Region: Europe Alignment: Neutral Good Gender: Male His favorite horse, Bucephalus, is also an Heroic Spirit in its own right. Pretty Boy of Rosy Cheeks: B The disposition as a pretty boy who charms people. A fascination magecraft-like effect that works on both men and women, but one can abate it so long there is a will to resist. Complete evasion by means of Magic Resistance Skill is possible. NOBLE PHANTASM Zeus Thunder - Blessings of God Rank: C Type: Anti-Unit Self-recognition as a child of god. Every time it is employed, the thunder of Zeus reinforces the body, raises Divinity and the Skill Pretty Boy of Rosy Cheeks suffers a Rank-DOWN. In other words... Sasaki Koujirou Sasaki Koujirou A swordsman described as a worthy rival of one of Japan's prominent master fencer - Miyamoto Musashi. Mastering the Ganryuu-style at a young age, a genius swordsman said to find no equal no matter where he went. And yet--- A refined man who admires the beauties of nature and wraps his body in an elegant battle surcoat. Aloof from the world and having a somewhat elusive personality but, as expected, he is a warrior who likes fair and square contests. Due to living in a age where casualties happened in a daily basis, his perspectives about life and death may also seem cold-hearted for a modern person. Unlike Musashi, Sasaki Koujirou is a fictional swordsman whose real life is indefinite. This "Sasaki Koujirou" is nothing but an nonentity swordsman that was summoned due to the fact he can reproduce the "Tsubame Gaeshi" that appears in Koujirou's legend. The mental state of this genius swordsman - who remained anonymous for life, and was summoned in order to fill up for a fictional Heroic Spirit - is, of course, "that is fine too" it seems. Height/Weight: 176cm・63kg Source: Historical fact Region: Japan Alignment: Neutral Evil Gender: Male "No matter who may be, one is evil from the moment he cuts down a person." Tsubame Gaeshi Anti-Unit Magic Sword. Maximum Targets: 1 person. A sword technique that rivals Noble Phantasms, attained only with human techniques. A special move that simultaneously cuts apart an enemy with three circles. Seems to be one of the things that can be called multi-dimensional refraction phenomenon. Originally, it was something developed to cut a swallow flying on the sky. He himself calls it a secret sword technique, but on the eyes of the surroundings it is unmistakably a magic sword. For that is not the work of man. He himself says that it was developed for cutting a flying swallow, but, of course, it is possible to cut a swallow even without a mystic technique such as this. Rather, this is a story about the lack of compromise, and also, how much extreme talents for martial arts was possessed by this swordsman - who reached the blessings of the sword just for such a reason. Souwa's Understanding: B A unique ability that prevents drop on hit-accuracy no matter how much the same technique, the same sword skill is employed against an opponent. It becomes impossible to see through attacks. "The eyes grow used to the attacks"; maybe it means that such inferior sword swings are not unleashed. Jing Ke (Kei Ka) Jing Ke (Kei Ka) ---ten steps remaining, a sure kill. Jing Ke was an assassin that plotted the assassination of the First Emperor, and fell one step short of accomplishing it. An individual who could have repainted the history of China, if it weren't for external hindrance. Jing Ke not only made a living out of assassinations, but also was a hedonist individual who loved reading, swordsmanship, chats with her wise friend and - more than anything - alcohol. Upon receiving a commission from Crown Prince Dan, from the State of Yan, to assassinate the First Emperor, Jing Ke cheerfully accepted and began planning how to assassinate the watchful Emperor. Having a present to offer the First Emperor, obtaining a knife dipped in poison meant for assassinations, but just before the time for implementing the plan came, Prince Dan began to doubt whatever Jing Ke - who was awaiting for a friend that would throw his life away as an assistant in the assassination - "had not lost her nerve". Being under suspicion, Jing Ke had no choice but to depart to Qin with a man that the Crown Prince had recommended as her assistant. However, during the assassination attempt, the man who was supposed to support her became unable to move out of fear and Jing Ke had to pursuit the assassination all alone; but maybe due to the Emperor's good luck, she failed to catch him by a narrow margin. It has been said that, having made her mind, Jing Ke was killed while scorning the First Emperor. Despite being an assassin, Jing Ke returned to dust without being able to accomplish her kill. Still, Jing Ke - who cheerfully accepted the request even while knowing she wouldn't return alive - was an individual who could be described as the world's chivalry. "Wind blow, river freeze. The hero fords, never returns!" --a poem by Jing Ke in the occasion of her parting Height/Weight: 159cm・48kg Source: Historical fact Region: China Alignment: Chaotic Good Gender: Female Transmitted in history as a man. Gilgamesh Gilgamesh Before the Modern Era, this demigod king governed the Sumerian city-state of Uruk. The king described in mankind oldest epic poem, the "Epic of Gilgamesh", he is considered to have existed not only in legends but also on reality. His nature is cruel and heartless. Never hearing people's opinions, a tyrant who holds only his own standards as absolute. Pretentiously displaying an extremely gaudy golden armor, this exceptional Heroic Spirit releases his excessive treasures as if abundant water. His first person pronoun writes as Ware (我) and reads as Ore (オレ). Gilgamesh is a collector of treasures. His favorite phrase is "I've assembled all treasures in the land", but that is nothing but a metaphor. He has assembled, stored and sealed away every sample of technology that were developed in his age. His argument is "humans are foolish, but there is value in the tools, civilization that humans create". Height/Weight: 182cm・68kg Source: Sumerian Civilization, Epic of Gilgamesh Region: Babylonia, Uruk Alignment: Chaotic Good Gender: Male Divinity: B (A+) Despite possessing the greatest Divine Spirit aptitude, it is receiving a Rank-DOWN due to he himself disliking the gods. 2/3 god, 1/3 human - possessing such high divinity, there is nothing that can match him in this world, making him a complete transcendental that obtained everything in this world. NOBLE PHANTASM Gate of Babylon - The Treasury of the King Rank: E~A++ Type: Anti-Unit A sword-key that connects to the golden capital. It connects spaces and makes so that the tools inside the treasure vault can be freely taken out. The more riches the user has, stronger the attacks will be.

Enuma Elish - The Star of Creation that Separates Heavens and Earth Rank: EX Type: Anti-World Spatial severance by means of the Sword of Separation Ea, a sword crowned with the name of a god from Mesopotamian Mythology. A "sword that tears the world to pieces", considered to be one of the summits even among many Noble Phantasms.
