The greatest hunter of the Nisadha tribe, and their last king.
Born as the heir of the chieftain of the north-dwelling Nisadha tribe, young Palgunadi is an exceedingly skilled archer and hunter. By the time he is seventeen, there are no archer and hunter greater than he is in the Nishadan realm, so his father sent him southward to the Indian subcontinent to learn from greater masters. While passing by the realm of Hastina one day, Palgunadi heard of a potent archery doctrine named Danurveda, taught to the Hastina royal family by one Dronacharya. Little did he knew, Danurveda will be his downfall...

Possible Class: Archer, Saber
Master: ???

Parameters:
* Alignment: Lawful Good
* Noble Phantasm: B
* Strength: B+
* Endurance: C+
* Agility: B+
* Mana: D
* Luck: E


Class Skills:

* Independent Action C
(Archer-specific class skill)
Palgunadi can move freely, independent of his Master. Should the contract binding him to his master be severed, he could last for a few days before fading away.

* Magic Resistance B
(Saber-specific class skill)
This skill cancels spells with a chant below three verses. Even if targeted by High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals, it is difficult for Palgunadi to be affected.


Personal skills:

* Instinct A
Refined sixth sense is now close to true precognition. Bonus effect of reducing by half the penalties caused by obstructed vision and hearing. It is a prerequisite of being a matchless hunter, as Palgunadi was in his life.

* Charisma C
Palgunadi's charisma is great, suitable for a chieftain of a great tribe.

* Vitrification A
Another prerequisite to be a great hunter is the ability to blend into nature; This skill reflects Palgunadi's great ability to suppress his presence in order to fell elusive and otherwise inapproachable game.


Noble Phantasms:

* Mestika Ampal [The Guardian Steel Ring]
Support
Rank: A
A potent magical artifact passed down through the Nisadhan chieftain family. This flesh-embedded ring is a defensive-granting passive Noble Phantasm capable of withstanding a wide variety of harmful attacks upon one's person; it can even revive Palgunadi after being struck down by Arjuna countless times. However, the effect can be permanently broken by cutting off the finger it reside on; Krishna did this via guile and transferred it to Arjuna, in effect making the Pandava prince truly immortal (and six-fingered).

* Fake Danurveda [The Self-Learned Way of The Bow]
Support
Rank: B
Touched by Palgunadi's meditations, prayers, and praises, the gods instilled this knowledge directly into Palgunadi's mind. However, due to lack of formal learning, Palgunadi cannot utilize this knowledge to its fullest. This Noble Phantasm, when invoked, will improve his physical attributes for one hour; then it cannot be invoked again for two days.

* Kutte Dhanu [The Bow that Silences The Dog]
Anti-Unit
Rank: C
This Noble Phantasm can only be invoked if Palgunadi is summoned into the Archer class. This otherwise unremarkable bow can be fired with extreme accuracy, and Palgunadi is said to be able to hit and fill a cherry-sized target with ten arrows with this bow. It also has another effect; any Servant hit with ten arrows loosed from this bow recedes into a deathlike stupor. Any one arrow is lethal enough to kill a mundane human, and two to four shots is all it takes to kill a mage.

* Arjuna Hatyara [The Slayer of Arjuna]
Anti-Unit
Rank: C (see text)
This otherwise unremarkable sword has felled the divinely-empowered champion Arjuna when he dueled Palgunadi over Anggrahini, Palgunadi's wife. Its powers can be said to be more of a testament to Palgunadi's prowess and efforts than the weapon itself; Its rank goes up one level for each relevant condition:
1. Whether Palgunadi was summoned as a Saber-class or not,
2. The presence of Mestika Ampal,
3. The activation of Fake Danurveda,
4. Whether the enemy has a Divinity rank of at least B.
Its maximum rank is A++, but if Palgunadi is desperate enough to overload it with prana, it can achieve immeasurable god-slaying power for a brief instant.
