________________________________________________________________________***_____________
Personality:
Bitter, resentful, old age has cursed Emilia. Turning a once bright-eye'd youth into a cruel old lady who sits at the head of her family. She has lost interest in many simple joys, like playing games, or reading books. Instead, she has thrown her interest into a certain political sphere. She sees the misery of the people of germany, and despite her cold heart, she feels that pain too. An intolerance of foreigners creeps into her heart, and she rationalizes all her hatred as some kind of revelation. After all, she has lived a long life, she knows better than all these children.

Background:
The Webers come from Germany. Specifically Hamburg. They were a famous magi family, and participated only once before in the Fuyuki war. But that's getting ahead of the story. In 1867, Emilia was born. The eldest of three children she would become, and she was happy. From her mother and father she learned to weave, and then to instill magic into the crafts she constructed. When she was thirteen, it was 1880, she moved to England with her father and mother. The growing tensions between countries had forced the family to move, but even then Emilia longed for her home in Germany. But even then, in London she fell in love. His name was Herman Trout, a silly name that she teased him endlessly over.

"Sir, can you fetch me a fish?"
"What kind do you require?"
"Why, I'm looking for one named Herman. Think you can find him for me?"
And such a beautiful romance it was. They danced, they fell in deep love and married by the time they turned 19.
Emilia was 20, and the year was 1887, and a grail war had begun. A French grail war, a fake one that seemed too good to be true. It was Emilia herself they chose to represent the Weber family, and while fearful for her life, she agreed none the less. Leaving her husband, she went to the war, with her chosen servant to be Sir Gallahad. It was during that time she lived on the edge. Any last day could be her last, and she felt so alive. With Gallahad she felt safe, but the dangers of a grail war are cruel. A servant, one of the Berserkers went wild, and threatened to kill many innocents. With the other masters a truce was agreed upon to end the beast, and so they did. Slaying the demon Goliath, and then betrayed. Shoot in the back, she was left for dead, and her servant slain. But she lived, surviving the grail war, and unaware of how it ended. She figured somebody had won it, but the world seemed more or less the same.

She returned home to England, to an empty home. In less than a month, her husband had left her, and for a moment she wished she had been dead. Swearing off England and its people forever, she returned to Germany, where she lived in the manor of her family.

It was a peaceful life, but she never found love again. Instead, she found love in the peace and beauty of germany. Its people, and its culture. In 1918, the great war began. And she watched from a distance as her home was torn to ruin. She received no letters from her family in England, until the war had ended, and she discovered she was the last of her family. War had killed her family, and now she was alone. Her hate turned to england, and she hardened her heart once more.

In the years since, her heart has hardened once more. But in a resolve. Watching the people of germany, the home she loves, she has seen their misery. Their pains as their homeland is lost to them, and the misery the end of the war brought. Throwing her lot in with the rising National Socialist party, she has supported them financially for several years.

With the Holy Grail in Germany, she has shown interest in it. Chosen to win a war she lost years ago.

Wish/Reason for Being in the War: Frau Emilia sees the shame of the German people, and wishes to use her wish to make them, and their nation great again.

True Name: Sargon of Akkad
Aliases: Sargon the Great
Class: Saber
Gender: Male
Height: 6'8"
Weight: 320lbs
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Wish for the Grail: Sargon's wish can be called the desire to conquer the world. He believes his rule was cut short by a curse from the gods and he wishes to rule eternal once more.

Personality:
A kind king rules with the love of all behind him. Sargon may not be the kindest ruler to ever live, but he was beloved. His subjects adored him, and his armies fought eagerly at his command. And yet, Sargon is greedy. Greedy for the wealth of others, and kingdoms that deny him. He was not always greedy, but when he saw the lands of Babylon and their hanging gardens, while the people of Akkad starved... It grew like a cancer in his heart. He covets the things and belongings of others, and lays claim to anything he desires. This is how he became the first conqueror of the world.
But, he is a boisterous man. Often proud of himself and his accomplishments. An ego groomed by countless victories, and topped off by his ever growing wealth. He looks to other kings and conquerors as challengers, and so often will hunt for worthy opponents. For he adores conquest, and when there is nothing to conquer he grows bored, and irritable.

Background:
He is Sargon. Conqueror and King undisputed. But he did not start this way. No. For he often claimed, and many around him agreed that his origins were humble, and his life simple. A blessing in a way for such a great man. Because life began in a temple. His mother was a changeling priestess of Ishtar, who was so heavily hidden by cloth that their gender remains unknown. Only that one day, there was a child, with their partner unknown. Some believe he could have been birthed from the divines. But a temple is not a place to raise a child, and wrapped in a blanket, and placed in a basket, he was sealed in tar and sent down the river. This is called the Ordeal. A challenge for convicts and those seeking divine blessing. Very few survive, and none a child. But Sargon did, and he was took in by a gardener of the royal palace. raised as a child there, he became the cup-bearer of the powerful king of Akkad. A man named Ur-Zababa.

It was a peaceful life, until the nightmares. Every night Sargon was besieged by dreams sent to him by Ishtar. In these dreams he was the lover of the goddess, and in those dreams he would see the king Ur-Zababa drowned. He refused to sleep, least he be tormented by these dreams of the king drowning, and his service slipped him. Eventually, even Ur-Zababa took notice of Sargon's fatigue, and while the youth refused to speak, he eventually relented. And he told Ur-Zababa of his death by drowning. In fear of the youth's dream, Ur-Zababa outlawed all bathing. But his fear only grew, and he saw Sargon as a threat. Turning to his trusted advisors he sent Sargon off to be butchered by bandits, but with the blessing of Ishtar he returned. Several times this happened, until Sargon returned to a furious king Ur-Zababa, who sought to kill the young man himself. Attacking Sargon, the youth protected himself, and in their duel he was forced to drown the king in a pool of his own blood. The people of Akkad were without ruler, and Sargon united them. For he was beloved by his people for his humble origins, and his kindness to those beneath him.

And yet his kingdom was not well. They were a poor kingdom built on clay, and the poorest starved almost daily. Going into the storehouses, Sargon offered daily bread to any who would join his army. Making no exception on weak or ill. He created an army of five thousand, almost all of his subjects, and he began a campaign of conquest. Striking out against his neighbors, his kingdom began to grow as he usurped others and took their possessions. By adding their fields and crops to his own army he was able to further protect his people, but rebuilding Akkad with this new wealth.

His conquest continued, and those that irked him faced his wrath. In certain tales, those that insulted his honor would have their entire civilization wiped form the face of the earth. Until he finally set his eyes on brilliant Babylon. The gods came to him, telling him to abandon his lust for the golden treasure vaults of legendary city, but he ignored them. He saw the black soil, and craved it for his own lands. Over the course of a year he besieged Babylon until it finally collapsed beneath his power. In order to commemorate his victory, he had his armies carry the fertile black soil to Akkad, where they would grow grand gardens. He took the hanging gardens, and emptied the vaults of all their belongings. But this was a truly evil action before the gods, and they cursed him.

They sent gods and divines to slay him, and yet Ishtar still loved him. He won every battle, and while his kingdom did suffer famines, he ruled as a fair and beloved king that was viewed as the greatest of his kind. In time, even Sargon passed on, and his people fell to tears. He had ruled for 55 years, and laid the ground works for an empire that lasted for over two thousand more. But in history, that was just a blip in time... But none forget about Sargon.

Stats:
Strength: B
Endurance: B
Agility: B
Magical Energy: B
Luck: EX (D)
Noble Phantasm: EX

Class Skills:
- Magic Resistance A - Sargon was blessed by a divine being with her love. As such, he is unwavering and the curses of petty mortals are meaningless to him. As such, modern magic is nearly useless against him, as he is a conqueror and mages are merely roadblocks.
- Territory Creation A - Sargon is a conqueror. As such, the territory he claims can be shaped to a degree to become fortified fortresses from which he can defend his empire. Territory he claims changes, and he draws his power from it. This is best exemplified in his Noble Phantasm - Akkad.

Personal Skills:
- Charisma A - Sargon was widely beloved by his people. As he was the child of a priestess, and he became king through love of a goddess, he was widely popular in his time. And those who ally themselves with him share in his power, and love him dearly. Any who are his ally on the front line benefits from a single parameter improvement of their choice.
- Master of Arms C - Sargon would often lead his people into war. As a result he became a master of the sword, and well practiced in the arts of combat. He wields any number of weapons, and can fight undaunted no matter the weapon. But as he had no formal training, he knows only what experience has taught him. So while he can pick up any weapon and use them, his lack of training can mean the difference in war.
- Item Construction (False) EX - Sargon can summon weapons from his kingdom, as he possesses access to great wealth. Whatever lies in his territory can be summoned to him, as long as it fits within the criteria of possesses. Humans, unless they have submitted to being a slave or property of Sargon, are merely subjects, and cannot be summoned at will.
- The Conqueror of Kingdoms A - As the worlds first conqueror, Sargon carries with him the legacy of all conquerors and kings to be. If they laid claim to empires they did so in his legacy. As such, he possesses Military Tactics (C), Collector (B), and Golden Rule (A). As collector of trinkets and wealth, he has it all.
- King Slayer A - Sargon rose from poverty to become king. During this time, he would challenge other great kings, and any who claim some degree of kingship. Among kings, Sargon is first and foremost, and any who claim to be royalty, or a conqueror are seen as the only challenges worth accepting. As a result, Sargon's power raises by a parameter in all stats when he is faced against another king or ruler.

Combat Capabilities: As warrior and king, Sargon was the first in all battles. He would lead his men into battle, and fought others who wished to be conquerors. But Sargon was the first true conqueror, and his empire stretched great distances. In singular combat he was considered a giant, blessed by the goddess Ishtar to be greater than all others around him.
His main tactic to any war is to spread his territory. Placing down flags, and spreading them about as far and wide as he can. The more territory he possesses, the more powerful he becomes. If he lacks territory, or if his flag is stolen, he loses power, and his noble phantasms weaken as a result.

Magecraft/Abilities:

Okulare Ausrichtung, by rerouting magic to his eyes he's able to achieve a multitude of effects, such as Night Vision, Zoom, Magical Perception, Heat Vision, Inferred Vision, Enhanced Vision(highten perception, he can see more detail and things seem to move in slow motion), and 360' Magic Sight(works by setting up a Boundary Feild that acts as a supplement to his eyes. This only possible to be done quick and easily as he can thanks to his Magic Crest.). All of these eye magics are thanks to his family Crest, and as such are difficult if not impossible for other mages to use.

Vorschlag, by locking eyes with a ordinary person he diliver a mind controlling thermuagtry curse. This has no effect on Mages, and can also fail if the target has magic circuits, even if they don't realise it.

Familiär, like most other Mages of decent training he can create, control, and identity familers.

Energieumwandlung, by this magic Jäger is capable of storing magic into various items. Gems, while being the best catalyst, are expensive. As such he only has a small collection of quality stones.

Körperverstärkung, a magical process of reinforcement. Mainly this is used to reinforce his limbs, allowing him to jump higher, run faster, and hit harder.

Flammenmagier-Handwerk, the manipulation and control over heat and fire. This is his primary offensive magic, but can also be used for defense and battle field control.

Hellsehen, the art of Divination. He isn't a master by any means, but he understands and can implement the basics.

Überschub, a odd supplementry magical art. With it he can fuel his spells with additional Mana from his self, or magical stores, and boost the effective force of magical items, spells, and codes. He can also use this art to enhance the magical capacity of another Mage, much like one would pass Mana to a Servant, only with out and ritual required. This effect can aslo be used in a somewhat vampiric effect, draining anouther Mages Mana for his own. They must either be willing, or to weakened to fight back for this to work though.

Personality: Jäger is confident and charismatic individual with a wish of grandeur. He understands the hard work required and is fully invested to full fill any hardships, and bare any load required for the out comes he seeks. In that was his personality, will, and enthusiasm can be infectious to others. It also means that he can be set in his choices and unyielding even when sense would argue.

As a young man he has a sharp sense of style and appearances, useing such to either strike a image in the minds of others, or judge how others may think and preceive themselves.

When it comes to others he has a deep appreciation of hard work, and the need to self care. By all means he would be fine with going out of his way to care for a ally, and shower subordinates with love and meanifull praise. When it comes to enemies all he can promise is respect of their skills, courage, and vigor. A enemy mage can also be promised a good or quick death. All else may end up as experimental material.

Background: Jäger comes from a long line of German mages, and as such grew up with the ideal that one should operate with highest level of efficiency and advancement possible. His family stoodby during the first war and saw the fall of their home. But once more, the morally cursing terms. The second war would not be the same. Germany would have herself a house of mages to fight along side them, and advance their weapons of war far beyond what any had seen before.

The Schrodinger family seeked to see the Truth in the world, to see Magic, the Root, and the Human Soul. To this goal they spent generations of research with Ocular magic in the hopes of one day seeing all of these Truths. It's believed that they are very close to these goals, and being able to force other lesser mage families into assistance would be beneficial. As would the addition of easily attained test subjects.

For all these reasons Jäger was chosen to take over the family Crest and join the frey. He had no complaints, for war brought nessissity, and nessissity was the mother of invention. For German, and for his family this war would send them forward in research by generations.

And then the Grail appeared, and chose him to be a contender. Just weeks before the full conflict of war was upon them all. A weapon so valuable couldn't be allowed to fall into enemy hands, and if he could claim it as his own then he could use it to finally finish his families research, to see the Root, see Magic, and see the Human Soul.

Wish/Reason for Being in the War: To stop all non-axis powers from gaining the Grail; and on retrieval to use the Grail to find the Root and all the secrets that it holds.

True Name: King Lycaon of Arcadia
Aliases: King Of Wolves, Father of the Lycaean Games.
Class: Berserker
Gender: Male
Height: 5'8
Weight: 175lb
Alignment: Lawful Good
Wish for the Grail: To have his curse lifted and his humanity restored

Personality: Lycaon is a grim man, having lived a life full of accomplishment and regrets. In his youth he was a avid man of the people, raising cities, building temples, and leading his people ever closer to the God's. In this he is a very devote and religious man, knowing full well the love and wrath of the God's.
Lycaon is a man of great and blinding love, a love he gave to his people freely and with out remorse. But he is also a man that finds it difficult to see the evil in man. His own 50 sons were known for their hedonism and cruel ways, yet he never addressed it as a father should have, instead hoping that they would learn by his example. How foolish a man he had been.
His arrogance lead to his own downfall, and now for that reason he takes care in all his on goings, and keeps a watchful eye on those that he would wish better for. He is also much more willing to sit down and talk with those that come to him, or seek his aid, and will desperately try to communicate his ideals and emotions to those who have fallen from Grace.
He also no longer holds the idealoligy that every man is inherently good and can be shown better. His love for his sons blinded him, he refuses to allow this now and will not stand by in face of evil.

Background: King Lycaon of Arcadia, the once great and to this day reveared hero of culture and a icon of history and lore.

Lycaon's early life was that of any eager and young King, one full of wonder and pride. Born to royalty he was rasied with every great privilege that any Greek man could ever hope to achieve, and he took it all in stride. Through out his life he was a man of the people, taming the wild lands of his home with cities and temples. Bringing down the will of the God's, and giving his people entertainment in the form of the Lcyaen Games.

But for all the good he brought Arcadia he also bestowed upon them fifty curses, each one a seed of his own loins. For all the care and love he had shown his Kingdom he had spared his children the same treatment, and he had also spared them the rod. Each and everyone of them was a spoiled child of the worst sort, and although he loved them all dearly he never gave them time or love deserved. As a father he was too kind, hoping to show then all how to live and act by example, oh what a fool he had been.

The crowning glory of their nature was revealed on the worst night possible, the night of the Zeus Lycaeus Rite. Acting as a priest of Zeus the King had invited the God to join his Hall and bless his people by eating supper with them.

The supper was a mix of ritual sacrifice and worship to the God's, and would have been the start of a grand tradition. But his sons had neferius schemes, and slaughtered one of their own children and mixed them into the ritualistic dinner. Zues was furious, and turned every man, woman, and child that ate the cursed meal into wolves as punishment for the blasphemous action.

Lycaon lived out the rest of his days in throws of maddness and savragry, hunted down by Artemis for sport as a beast of Arcadia's wild wilderness.

Stats:
Strength: E/A+
Endurance: D/A
Agility: E/A
Magical Energy: E/C
Luck: B/C
Noble Phantasm: B+

Class Skills:
Mad Enhancement A, driven into a mad fury Lycaon gains a high increase to his stats except luck, as his luck with God's is what cursed him, but at the cost of losing humanity. His mental stats drop less than normal, but at the cost of a second beastial brain trying to take over. It is also impossible to hide his identity while like this.

Berserk A, a composite Skill of Bravery and Mad Enhancement. Grants the user the ability to negate mental interference such as pressure, confusion and fascination. It also has the bonus effect of increasing melee damage. Oce Mad Enhancement is active this is the only way he fights.

Personal Skills:
Charisa B/E, once hailed as a hero of a King, biulding cities, temples, and bring people closer to the God's during his life time. His Charisma is high enough to rule over a entire kingdom, and he can even partial retain this skill while mad. While Mad he can still conve simple ideas and messages, and can lead packs of dogs and wolves. If currently not in combat and in a relaxed setting he may even be able to come off as somewhat gentle and emotive.

Curse Of Zues, do to Zues having cursed him with beast hood and in many tales having destroyed him and his sons with lightning, any lightning based attacks or magic increase by 3 ranks when used against Lycaon. These types of attacks also cuase him to be fearful, even while Mad. As a side effect of this he is warry and uncomfortable during lightning storms.

Animal Dialogue C, Lycaon may speak freely with beast, but this skill doesn't increase their intelligence. It does allow for him to express and understand simple ideas and concerns. When this skill is used on canines such as dogs and wolves it's Rank goes up to A, allowing him to express complex ideas, and thoughts. Combined with his Charima skill this allows him to lead dogs and wolves as a pack, using them as eyes, ears, and support. The beast are not enhanced in anyway from this, and as such aren't a threat to a Servant even in numbers.

Animalistic Logic E/A, A combative way of thinking resulting from transforming into a beast. It's not useful for finding weak points, but the speed of thinking focusing on killing the enemy swiftly increases.

Animalistic Senses E/A, as a werewolf Lycaon's sense of hearing and smell are leagues beyond human understanding. This skill also grants Lycaon night vision. At this rank Presence Concealment is all but worthless.

Golden Rule B, as a King with a prosperous nation he was never one for want, always having plenty to build up his territory further.

Weakness To The Divine, do to his follish mockery and disrespect towards the Gods he now has a permanent weakness to Divine intervention. Divine Weapons, Noble Phamtasms, and Magic are counted as being one Rank higher when targeting him.

Combat Capabilities:
Pankration C, a Greek form of Martial Arts based on submission. Mostly used as a sporting event, but not one to be over looked. Lycaon's skill is sub-par as he was a King, not a warrior. It is high enough for him to see, judge, and understand the movements of another fighter in hand to hand combat and quickly force a unarmed opponent with a equal or lower unarmed skill rank to submission. This skill is lost during Mad Enhancement.

Wolven Instinct A, this ability is only active duing Mad Enhancement. A skill combining the nature of beast in combat. This consist of mid level presence concealment, high level stalking, pack tatics, and combat style revolving around going for the neck, or gutting the stomach and mid section of a enemy. There is no training or base skills here, just primal savragry and instinct.

Magecraft/Abilities
-A Note: Because of his lack of training, Nori knows mostly low-level magecraft. However, his naturally high mana means most of the spells seen here can be "spammed" to some extent, because their individual power is low.
-Jewel Charging: The signature Tohsaka art of infusing magical energy into gemstones, essentially turning them into single-use mystic codes. A convenient ability, since it allows for the storage of additional mana outside of his body's limits. Such gems can be crushed to reabsorb the mana or utilized in simplistic energy-based spells, such as an offensive blast or a temporary floating shield. Either way, the gems become useless ash.
-Jagged Ice: A simplistic but versatile spell that creates blades made of durable ice in various shapes. Could be used to fire icicle projectiles or create a melee weapon. Such ice will soon melt in most climates, but that can be staved off while the created tools remain in Nori's hands.
-Heat Shield: A passive protective spell that can be used to immunize the body to cold temperatures, and severely cool down the body, relieving one of heat and even providing moderate fire resistance.
-Cold Spot: A weak projectile attack made dangerous because it cannot be seen. Creates a positively frigid patch of air that flies toward its target. The damage is minimal, but cold of this level takes the breath away and causes the body to seize up for a moment, especially when it is unexpected. Additionally, exposure to an extended barrage may lead to hypothermia or long-term damage.
-Ice Familiars: The creation of ice or snow familiars in the shape of small animals. The abilities of these reflect their appearance, so dogs will run fast, birds will fly, etc. Nori can command such creatures from a distance and share their senses as needed, even talking through them, but to craft one is the work of a few hours for him.
-Icicle Trap: An enchantment to be cast into a point on the ground. Similar to jewels, they are permanent self-contained pools of mana. When the trap is triggered jagged icicles will spring up. It can impale a person's leg, but a wary mage may notice the mana in the ground. The real strength of this spell is the versatility of its trigger. Nori might set a trap for a specific person or type of creature and can exempt certain individuals from it. It could trigger based on movement speed, mana, weight, equipment, or other physical things, but not mental states like harmful intent. Also, Nori knows when one of his traps is triggered, and can catch a mental glimpse of what triggers it.

-Chinese Kenpo: The secret martial arts style passed down through the Tohsaka line due to their founder’s insistence on honing both magical and physical abilities. Since his experience is mostly as his brother's training dummy, his greatest martial talent is losing without suffering much damage.
-Sketching/Painting: Nori has an artist's eye and hand, especially for landscapes.
________________________________________________________________________***__________
Mystic Codes/ Magical Items
-Jewels: The tools of the Tohsaka trade. Nori has quite a lot of them, but still less than he wishes he had, since his father is using most of the family reserves for the war in Fuyuki. See magecraft for details.
________________________________________________________________________***__________
Weapons/ Other Belongings
-Backpack: The most convenient way to carry things. Contains some clothes, money, and personal effects, but is mostly full of gems.
-Sketch Equipment: A notepad and a few pencils. Kept in his backpack, but frequently out and in his hands during this trip.
________________________________________________________________________***__________
Personality
A quiet sort who has learned to stay out of the way. Nori has a lot of sympathy for others, and will quickly form an alliance, although he is slow to form real emotional connections. He's accepted that he'll have to kill his enemies in the war, but won't do it thoughtlessly, and hopes he can allow a few masters to flee after dealing with their servants. Nori likes to exhaust his options and choose carefully rather than make quickly for the obvious decision. He's alright with most kinds of methods, but not with breaking loyalties or underhanded goals and strategies.

Background
Born in 1920 to the Tohsaka house of Fuyuki, Nori's circumstances would have been favourable had it not been for his twin brother. His parents were forced to make the decision as to which child would be groomed to take on the family crest and become the next head at an early point in the twins' lives, and Nori ended up left in his brother's dust. It was not that his family despised him, but it was obvious to Nori that he was thought of as having no future. So he ended up in an awkward position, taught the Tohsaka skills of magecraft and combat, but the focus of these lessons was always to train his brother, and Nori ended up being used as an example more often than actually learning anything.

Even in the midst of rigorous preparation for the third holy grail war on their own land, the Tohsakas did not miss the unusual proclamation of a non-mage hosting a holy grail war. Although they had confidence in the strategy Nori's father had prepared for his victory, they felt it would be wrong to waste the opportunity to increase their chances of reaching the root even a little, and figured it would be as good a use as any for their futureless son. So, he was equipped with what his father didn't need and sent hastily off to Germany to back the government there.
________________________________________________________________________***__________
Wish/Reason for Being in the War
If he believed Dr. M's grail had the capacity to reach the root then he would certainly try his best for it, but since it's a fake grail war, the best he hopes to wish for is a strong magic crest to strike out on his own as a mage.

True Name: The Headless Horseman
Aliases: Hessian, Dullahan, Gan Ceann
Class: Rider
Gender: Was Once a Man
Height: 5'5'' (around 6'4'' with a head)
Weight: 185 lbs
Alignment: Lawful Evil
Wish for the Grail: To regain his original head and live out a peaceful life before passing away for good. Then again, he may not be able to resist simply asking for a field of helpless victims.

Personality
Someone filled with wickedness and cruelty who has long since stopped making excuses for his tendency to decapitate. He tries to recall his attitude as a mercenary for tips about how to act as a Servant, but he can only think of violence and revenge. Nonetheless, he does observe "the honour of the hunt," as he will not steal another's kill out of the blue. The emotions of a headless man can be somewhat hard to read, but if he wears another's head, his personality will become a bit closer to theirs on a superficial level.

You may choose who, when, and where, but there is only one method I will use. ...His master will probably hear dark proclamations like this ringing in their head.

Background
Rider was a Hessian mercenary hired by Britain to combat the American revolution who lost his head to a canon ball during the battle of White Plains in 1776 and was buried in the cemetery of Sleepy Hollow. In an unusual case for a legend, it was his actions as a vengeful spirit after death pursuing many travellers in an effort to take their heads that gained him fame, and he was finally placated after obtaining the head of Ichabod Crane. However, legends of headless riders long precede that man's life, and in the case of this heroic spirit it would be accurate to say that he is shouldering the legends of those who lack the identities or humanity to be summoned themselves to add to his own power. Specifically because he is summoned in Germany, he has access to the "hunting horn that calls for death" and "black hounds of hell," which stem from the folklore there.

Stats
Strength: B
Endurance: C
Agility: B
Magical Energy: A
Luck: C+
Noble Phantasm: EX

Class Skills
-Magic Resistance B-: Rider can spells with a chant below three verses targeting him. Even if he is targeted by High-Thaumaturgy or Greater Rituals, it is difficult for him to be affected. In the case of divine magic or the sacrements of the church, however, his resistance is weakened.
-Riding A: Rider can use any vehicle or creature as a mount, with the exception of Phantasmal Beasts and Divine Beasts.

Personal Skills
-Hellish Hounds A: The ability produce, through moderate labour, black hounds with tongues of fire that serve as Rider's "hunting dogs." Their power is such that if he has the time and mana to craft twelve or so they can make a difference even against a Servant while alongside him. Even if sent out on their own, they can use pack tactics and the flames of their maws to slow down such enemies. In a pinch, this ability can be used to restore his horse and equipment in the event of their destruction or loss. Restoring his horn is a different matter, however.
-Clairvoyance D++: The ability allowing Rider to pursue his enemies even without a head. It allows for sight in all directions from the body, and the negation of even extreme visual obstructions at close range. It does not grant hearing, taste, or smell, however, but he can still communicate telepathically with his master. Having been an artilleryman, Rider wouldn't be a bad shot with ranged attacks, if he had any.
-Unseelie Spirit A: An ability gained from gathering the power of many legends about "headless riders." A composite skill granting rider access to things like Battle Continuation, Curse Resistance, Death Resistance, Mana Burst (Darkness), Mental Resistance, Monstrous Strength, Passive Health Restoration, and Poison Resistance. In return, he suffers extra damage from holy attacks, and the restrictions of being unable to cross running water or enter holy grounds without suffering a temporary hit to his abilities.

Combat Capabilities
His omnidirectional sight means he can clash blades with anyone even as he rides in any direction. His fighting style can be called "murderous" and "no-holds-barred." If he has access to his hounds, they go ahead of him in combat, rushing the enemy to throw them off balance before the killing blow is delivered. His mount is a dark and durable creature, and although it cannot take to the skies it does have high physical abilities including strength for extreme leaps, toughness that prevents it from becoming a liability in combat, and speed that allows Rider to pursue most enemies. It also possesses the same strengths and limitations as Rider from his Unseelie Spirit skill. On foot, he can swing his axe and evade more freely, at the cost of mobility. He possesses a whip made of bone, but since it can't decapitate someone and it is visually distinct, he rarely uses it. He also has a black riding cloak with a hood perfect for concealing a face.

Noble Phantasms
Name: Wild Hunting Horn
Rank: B
Type: Anti-Army/Anti-Unit
Description: A black hunting horn that warns of terrible deaths to come. Even if Rider lacks a head, he can hold it aloft to produce a chilling sound. Those in earshot, save for Rider's allies, will be inflicted with a fear effect that compels them to flee or dulls their wits and skills if they have the will to stand and fight. Those who hear it would be wiser to trust their instincts, however, as the sound of the horn also carries a curse. Regardless of whether the fear proves effective, there is now a slowly increasing chance with each attack that Rider will, regardless of intervening factors like speed and toughness, "land a blow that severs the opponent's head," in an attack that bypasses cause and effect to reach the intended result. The Luck stat of Servants allows them to stave off this effect for a time, and even one with D rank luck is likely safe to trade a few blows, though with E rank luck they will likely fall victim to the instant kill within his first few swings. As the fight continues, the chance of decapitation builds up until any sensible fighter would feel the massive killing intent and withdraw. One without the common sense to do so, though, will soon die if they cannot produce a swift victory themselves.

Name: Revenge of Sleepy Hollow
Rank: EX
Type: Anti-Unit
Description: The manifestation of one eternally seeking a head, Rider can seamlessly bind the severed head of another to his stump of a neck, making it his own. A head can be removed and reattached at will, and while he wears one, he has access to all of its original owner's knowledge, skills, and abilities. In the case of a Servant's head, it will not disappear even though the owner is dead, and Rider can carry it under his arm, on his thigh, or hanging from his saddle until he finds a suitable place to switch heads. He can utilize a Servant's skills and even Noble Phantasms, provided those abilities do not specifically stem from a part of the body other than the head, or from an object, although in either case it is possible to take the item in question for himself and save it from disappearing with the rest of the body. Indeed, even if the ability in question is something like a "cursed arm," it is simply a matter of severing the limb for use as a grim sort of mystic code.
Abilities with a physical manifestation, rather than something purely mental or an attribute of the head, will require more mana than normal because he is not the true owner. In the case of Noble Phantasms with great power, they will be weaker than the original by a paper-thin difference.

Magic Circuits
Number: D

Magecraft/Abilities:

Alchemy: Since he is from Thule, Magnus isn't all that good in Alchemy as a whole. Instead, his skills lie in the manipulation of metals.

Runes: As a magus from Thule, Magnus is very skilled in runes. He uses the Elder Futhark rune set.


________________________________________________________________________***_____________
Other Abilities:

Outside of magecraft, Magnus is fairly skilled in cooking, sewing, writing, and reading.
________________________________________________________________________***_____________
Mystic Codes/ Magical Items:

His Hair: While it might appear real, it isn't actually. Every hair on his head is actually a metal wire that merely looks like hair, and normally feels like it as well. As a side note, it is actually only a few inches off of the floor.

Rune Stones: He has a bag filled with pre-written rune stones.

Giant Runes: A set of giant runes loaned to Magnus by Thule. They function as a means to empower his current runes.
________________________________________________________________________***_____________
Weapons/ Other Belongings: Cartons of Cigarettes, lighters, matches, markers, and carving tools.
________________________________________________________________________***_____________
Personality: Magnus, like most magi, constantly walks that borderline between life and death. A step too far in either direction is dangerous, and absolutely fatal to one who lives as a magus. In order to constantly live in this limbo, one must have a mechanism to deal with this. In Magnus' case, he takes the common cope, and that is by being disconnected with the around him. The world is a cruel, dangerous place, especially for a magi.

There is no point in taking pleasure from such an unsavory place.

Instead, Magnus finds joy in the world of the arcane. It too is a dangerous, vicious world, but one can shut themselves within their house for years on end. After all, research and knowledge is what makes a magus.

Of course, as one who commits himself to the world of magecraft, he has committed himself to the root, and to Thule as well. Magnus will follow these commitments to his grave, as that is the proper choice for one who is a magus. If he must risk his life in order to take part in the joyous world of magi, then that is the price he must pay.

Generally speaking, he is fairly easy to get along with, albeit a bit boring. A man who follows the role assigned to him perfectly is a good tool, but as a person? They could hardly be called such. In that regard, Magnus is severally lacking when it comes to being a person, and probably seems more like a Homunculus than anything.

Background: Time.

Time is cruel, unsavory, evil thing that chips apart at humanity. It is the one thing that nobody in this world can truly avoid, not even even Old Man Kaleidoscope. Time approaches everything, and like stone in the desert, it will erode one's existence until nothing is left.

Even if one can make their body live forever, their soul will rot.

If they can avoid their soul rotting, then they will become monsters, no longer being a member of humanity.

If they can somehow achieve all of the above, then the eventual destruction of everything will wipe them away.

In this regard, the goal of achieving the root can almost never be done within one life time. Of course, magi have worked around this, and thus, the Crest is used to continue one's research onto their next of kin. In that sense, Magi as a whole only have to worry until the end of everything, right?

Incorrect, mystery is rapidly evaporating from this world, and soon enough, there will be no magi left. In that regard, Magi have too little of time left to reach the root. In the ever present fear of running out of time, the Sea of Estray attempts to look into the past for the answer for the future problem.

As a part of the Sea of Estray, Thule Society specializes in Runes. The Knagenhjelm family are fairly prominent within Thule, and have been for several centuries at this point. Just like the society they are attached too, they search for the Root in magecraft of the past, like Runes. And, much like the magecraft they practice so hard in, they too were in decline.

Their political skills kept their standing politically, but their circuits were dwindling with each generation. At least, until Magnus was born.

Much like his father before him, Magnus was born with a below average amount of circuits, but the quality of his circuits were the highest the family had ever seen. This was a sign to the family, that if they can back, so too can magecraft. Thus, the fate of the future was put on Magnus' shoulders.

Of course, he actually never noticed this. Instead, he was simply happy he could do magecraft, as it was completely possible for his family's bloodline to have died with his birth.

Nothing truly eventful has happened in his life beyond a few missions from Thule, and him doing some research.

Now, he is in the Holy Grail War, sent by Thule as their representative.

Wish/Reason for Being in the War: Thule told him too

True Name: Pandarus
Aliases: Prince of Zeleia
Class: Archer
Gender: Male
Height: 185 cm
Weight: 96 kg
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Wish for the Grail: To go back, and not fire the arrow at Menelaus.

Personality: A confident, witty man, though cunning, and a fairly skilled orator. His personality has been seen as a bit of a paradox, though one that makes complete sense to him. Pandarus knows when to be wise-cracking, when the time for jokes has to become to an end. As the Prince of a kingdom, his skill as a politician was paramount, but a warrior doesn't need to constantly be a politician.

In a sense, he reflects the situation he faced into, though everything comes with a bit of a knowing smirk. He has a bit of a weakness for cute girls, but he "refuses" to let that overtake him.

Has a serious hatred of Athena.

Background: Born as the Prince of Zeleia, Pandarus was born for greatness. Even at a young age, he was a skilled hunter, killing a ram and creating a bow from it's horns. His skill as a hunter as a boy caught Apollo's eyes. That, on top of Zeleia being deeply devout to Apollo, led to him training Pandarus himself.

The training lasted for many years, but eventually, his training was complete. As a graduation present, Apollo gave Pandarus his bow and arrows. Thankful for the God's support, Pandarus gave him an offering, and returned to his Kingdom. Upon his return, there was a large celebration. After all, it was incredibly rare for a God to teach any mortal. Legends were already beginning to spread about Pandarus, and he would have more exploits to further his fame.

Now, where did it all go wrong?

As it did for many heroes, The Trojan War was ultimately what stopped this budding young hero. His kingdom was an ally of Troy, and he brought his army in order to assist them. By this time, his legend was already incredibly well known, and he was considered an archer without peer. He led his armies into battle without fear, and it seemed to be going incredibly well.

Until Athena happened.

During a truce where the Achaens, and Trojans could have made peace, and there may have been a peaceful return of Helen, Athena spoke out to Pandarus. Athena wanted nothing more than for Troy to fall, and this peace wouldn't result in that. In an effort to start the fighting once more, she found the greatest Archer on the Trojan side, and told him to shoot Menelaus. She assured him that there would be nothing but honor if he was to kill Menelaus right now, and so, trusting the Goddess, Pandarus fired an arrow into Menelaus. This arrow would have surely killed him...

If it wasn't for Athena.

Instead of an attack that would have killed Menelaus, Athena knocked the arrow a bit, making it severely wound Menelaus, but not something fatal. Just to be sure that he would survive this, Athena healed him.

With the potential peace treaty now completely out of the realm of possibility, the two sides continued to fight. Pandarus would fight as well, at least, until he was pulled aside by Aeneas. He asked for his assistance in dealing with Diomedes, who was causing a mayhem on the battlefield.

Pandarus was hesitant at first, knowing that Diomedes had gained the favor of some God, which is why he was so strong. However, he had Apollo on his side, and it wasn't like Diomedes had Athena backing him.

Well, of course he did.

Diomedes had Athena blocking nearly all of the arrows, though those that hit were nearly fatal. When their chariots got closer, Diomedes threw his spear at Pandarus, and Athena guided it, making sure it would impale Pandarus right through his head.

Thus, this was the end of Pandarus. A hero who should have been greater, but had the unfortunate luck of being hated by Athena.

Stats

Strength B
Endurance: C
Agility: A+
Magical Energy: B
Luck: D

Class Skills:

Independent Action: A
It is possible to take action even without a Master. However, to use Noble Phantasms of great magical energy consumption, backup from the Master is necessary. At Rank A, it is possible for a Servant to stay in the world for about a week without a Master.

Magic Resistance: B
Cancel spells with a chant below three verses. Even if targeted by High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals, it is difficult for them to be affected.

Personal Skills:

Clairvoyance: C

Simply looking from a high location is sufficient to fully survey a town and search for enemies. In addition, Clairvoyance will affect the accuracy of bows. It connotes superior visual perception and dynamic occipital capture, such as to supplement the long-range aiming of projectile weapons.

Eye of the Mind (False): B

A natural talent to foresee/sense and avoid danger on the basis of an innate 6th sense, intuition, or prescience. The accuracy of this instinct can be augmented by experience. The ability also grants an effect of offering resistance against penalties caused by visual obstructions

Mana Burst (Flames): A
A version of Mana Burst that infuses weapons with Magical Energy that imparts a flame effect.

A Skill that came attached to his Noble Phantasm that he received from the Sun God Apollo. Jet-like burst of mana is released, not from his body, but as propulsion for his arrows, allowing them to pierce Pandarus' enemies faster than a rifle.

Military Tactics: C+
Tactical knowledge used not for one-on-one combat situations, but for battles where many are mobilized. Bonus modifiers are provided during use of one's own Anti-Army Noble Phantasm or when dealing against an enemy Anti-Army Noble Phantasm.

Was regarded a knowledgeable, and famous general in his homeland of Lycia. When charging headfirst after sending a prayer to Apollo, he gains his modifier.

Combat Capabilities: A true Archer at heart, Pandarus prefers to sit back and fire his arrows from a distance. He can fire arrows at an incredible speed, so he tries his best to end fights before anyone gets too close. In the event that someone does, as he was trained by Apollo, he has some minor skill in melee combat, but he would surely be defeated by an expert.

Noble Phantasm(s):

Name: Delphinius: Bow of the Sun
Rank: A+
Type: Anti-Army
Description: A Divine Construct forged by Hephaestus himself for Apollo. The young God desired to hunt, and after begging Hephaestus long enough, he was gifted a silver bow of the sun. It was a weapon used by Apollo to slay many beasts, such as the Python at Delphi. After Pandarus' training with Apollo, the God loaned him his bow.

The bow is an inescapable part of Apollo's legend, as well as possessing the bow being the second greatest feat done by Pandarus. As it is a bow of the sun, it grants Pandarus Mana Burst (Flames). On top of that, it comes equipped with Apollo's arrows as well. As they were used to slay many monsters, the arrows themselves come with an Anti-Monster attribute.

The true power of the bow comes when the true name is invoked. As it is one with Apollo, and Apollo is one with the sun, it could be said that the bow itself is the sun at it's peak. Once the name is invoked, a powerful blast, on par with the destructive force of the sun, is released. Even the blast from the Knight of the Sun can't compare with the true power of the sun itself.

Where Phoebus Calamity seeks to kill, this Noble Phantasm only cares for complete destruction.

Name: Phoebus Calamity: A Summoning of Apollo's Wrath
Rank: B
Type: Anti-Army
Description: Despite sharing a similar theme to the Noble Phantasm of another Greek Archer, it takes place from an entirely different legend. Before leading his army into battle against the Achaens, Pandarus fired an arrow into the sky as an offering to Apollo. In response, arrows flew down from the heavens against the enemy army.

Nocking an arrow, an offering for Apollo, he aims them at the sky as they begin to shine, before releasing them at a great enough speed that they pierce through the clouds while leaving behind a glittering trail. Shortly after, there comes a faint light filling the sky and a sound similar to falling rain, but instead of it being a rain of water, it is a rain of arrows of light falling onto the enemies like a downpour. As the malevolent gods seek a sacrifice, they scatter down a "torrential rain under the name of calamity" on the next turn after it is invoked, carrying out an attack on all enemies. It is possible to set the range of the downpour, letting it spread over the battlefield or focusing it all onto a single enemy.

Concentrated targeting to purify a single enemy is much stronger. The option to switch between raining arrows over a wide area or a narrow area makes it a very convenient Noble Phantasm.

Name: Truce Breaker: Arrow That Ends Peace
Rank: C
Type: Anti-Army
Description: Archer's greatest feat, if it can even be called that, was him firing an arrow into Menelaus during a temporary truce, forcing the fighting to start up once more. Of course, this wasn't Pandarus' idea, but the idea of Athena. The Goddess came over to the warrior, and whispered into his ear the renown he would gain if he slayed Menalus. False promises of the war ending, and a Trojan victory all because he fired this arrow. Needless to say, firing his arrow only brought Pandarus heartache.

Instead of an arrow meant to strike and kill, this Noble Phantasm acts a means to cause chaos among those who are caught in it's path. Those caught begin to break into battle, clashing and fighting just as the Trojans and Achaeans did. There is no concept of truce, or peace, or even ally. Hell must break lose upon the battlefield, as it what was the Goddess wished. None are free from this effect, for it is the decree of a Goddess.

True Name: Sigurd, King of Noble Warriors
Class: Saber
Gender: Male
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Attribute: Earth

Appearance: Though it is perhaps cliché, Saber's own appearance makes it rather easy to tell for anyone that looks upon him that he is 'a great hero'. A lean frame that brims with confidence and strength, his height allows him to tower over most, easily standing at nearly two meters tall, features seemingly carved from marble, no less handsome for it and set into a permanent amused smirk. His skin is tan, taut muscles seemingly bereft of scars despite the notion that the man that boasts of them is a born warrior, and his ashen hair falls down, almost reaching his back, in a mess that is not devoid of its own grace. Though the blood is far too diluted to mean much, he still boasts the red eyes of those who possess the ichor of the divine flowing through their veins, set alight akin to twin crimson pyres, a wild air about him that is his constant companion wherever he goes.

Cutting an imposing figure, he is clad in the armaments of antiquity, a warrior displaced in time. A silver cuirass with blue accents – like breaking waves – along the edges covers his upper body, fashioned into the peak of human physique, made of a certain material long since unavailable to the modern world. Vambraces of the same make and pattern, greaves and boots comprise his armor alongside it and glimpses of fur can be seen, perhaps indicating the wearer is more used to colder climates, black leather pants underneath.

Personality: Summoned as Saber, his 'golden age' has been interpreted to be the form of his younger years – one he doubtlessly prefers the most. A youth that thirsts for excitement and, even though he attempts to sound relatively dignified, he often slips into rougher speech patterns, most prominently when his battle-lust is roused – perhaps part of the fault lies with the distortions of his culture sphere across time, but Sigurd would readily admit to his nature as a sort of hoodlum even while alive. In short, he gives the 'delinquent older brother' impression. Boastful, proud and nonetheless agreeable, Sigurd is what some would not hesitate to call an odd individual – though one who was aware of his tragic life could be led to believe that he would be the type that carries a somber air about him, the reality is far different, being the sort of man one could not help but bond over drinks with, someone who lives in the present, chasing the moment with all his being. He possesses pride, of course – pride as a hero, pride as a man. His entire life was spent thirsting for adventures like a man lost in the desert would thirst for water, whether recorded in the runestones or not – for is it not the duty of a hero to be grander, to live a life more exemplary than anyone else? To seek challenges in the morn, fight the strongest in the afternoon, make merry with one's companions at night and do it all over again the next day? Indeed, much like 'that one', Sigurd's life was spent doing 'what a hero should do', but unlike 'that man', who believed that heroes should merely limit themselves to doing as other asked, dangerous existences that they were, Sigurd's own belief was that a hero should strive towards greatness and follow his own heart more than anything, accomplishing great tasks not because it was requested, but because that was their very nature, how things were meant to be. He has no personal grudges about how his life turned out, even though it was one that was not lacking in wrong turns. 'I did my best, I think, so I will not sully my pride and their memory with regrets.', or so he would say. He met that woman he loved with all his heart and forged priceless friendships – so long as those moments, ephemeral as they were, remain engraved into his heart, Saber personally thinks that there is no point to regrets. Thus, he is not particularly interested in an 'omnipotent wish-granter', seeing the chance to take up his blade and walk again as enough. Though. . .he would not say no to a chance to meet that woman again and make the declaration he once could not. Perhaps that small wish is the only thing that weighs in his memory, even if he does not admit it.

In terms of disposition, he naturally leans towards 'justice', in the sense that he will 'do what he thinks is right because it is the right thing to do'. Even when warned that meeting that woman would surely bring about his ruin and death, he still trudged forward to awaken her and free her from her imprisonment. However, this is not to say he places those with 'good intentions' higher than those with 'evil ambitions', for he is still someone who learned long ago of the inherent unfairness of the world. To begin with, cruelty and kindness are as two sides of the same coin, which means that what truly matters is the drive and capacity to see one's vision through. This viewpoint naturally makes him look down on those he deems as 'having weak wills'.
This means that he is naturally flexible in terms of those he is willing to serve under, and even if he disagrees with the method, so long as the Master shows the drive he appreciates, he is bound to follow orders loyally. The only thing to challenge that loyalty would doubtlessly be nothing short of what he would consider a personal betrayal.

That said, he obviously should have a preferred type of Master. To describe them in a simple manner. . .

'The type of idiot that just does not know how to give up'.

History: The great hero of the Völsunga Saga, and oft regarded as the greatest and most famous within Norse mythology, Sigurd, Son of Sigmund and Slayer of Fafnir. A mortal that lived during the Age of Gods, one through whose veins still ran the blood of Odin, he fostered under Regin, the brother of Fafnir, who would be the one to both give him his famous sword and egg him on to slay the dragon, thereby starting the chain of events that would lead to the episodes depicted in his legend. He would meet a certain woman – a Valkyrie by the name of Brynhildr, whom he would exchange vows with, yet she would nonetheless foretell his doom and marriage to another woman. Eventually parting ways, he would arrive to a certain court, where the queen would slip by him a potion that would force Sigurd to forget all about Brynhildr, and thus render him amenable to marriage with Gudrun.

He would be fast friends with (and loyal to) his brother-in-law, Gunnar, who would attempt to woo Brynhildr herself, but the tests of the Valkyrie would prove too much and, exchanging oaths of secrecy and with a heavy heart, Sigurd would supplant him. He did not remember Brynhildr – he simply felt the acts went against his sense of honor and her own dignity, yet he remained steadfast in his loyalty and successfully passed her tasks, exchanging places with Gunnar once he was no longer needed.

Life would be kind, for a while. But lies, as we all know, cannot last. Eventually discovering the truth, feeling cheated out of the man she desired and burning with indignation, Brynhildr succumbed to her love for Sigurd.

. . .Yet, for a Valkyria that ferries souls to Valhalla, 'to love' is synonymous with 'to kill'. And so, she did, arranging for the death of the man she held so dear. That was the sad end to a sordid tale, and eventually Brynhildr would willingly commit suicide by throwing herself to Sigurd's own funeral pyre, their ashes scattered and mixing in the wind.

Weapon: His sword, Gram, his armor crafted from Fafnir's scales and his mare, Grani.

PARAMETERS
STR: A
END: A+
AGI: B
MGI: A

CLASS SKILLS
Riding: A+. Saber can freely manipulate the simplest vehicles or state-of-the-art technology with ease, and at this Rank, even Phantasmal Beast or Divine Beast-class creatures may be commanded and used as mounts, though it does not apply to members of the 'Dragonkind'.

Magic Resistance: -. A Skill that determines the level of inherent resistance the Servant possesses against Thaumaturgy that attempts direct interference upon the self.

. . .However, it has been lost.

PERSONAL SKILLS
Revelation: B. An anecdote of his story tells of his consumption of the dragon's blood and later, heart, and following this, he was able to know of the dwarf Regin's plan to murder him and have Fafnir's hoard entirely for himself thanks to the birds warning him ahead of time, after which Sigurd killed the dwarf. He is not truly talking with them – rather, upon consumption, he artificially inherited a sort of 'wisdom' that manifested itself as a strange connection with the world. He is able to interpret the song of birds, the caress of the wind upon blades of grass and the thrum of mana in the air as warnings or advice on 'what is the best path' or 'what will come next'. However, Saber seems to have willingly sealed it away, or is otherwise ignoring it wholesale. The only leftover is a persistent sense of 'déjà vu'. Perhaps it is not something that should be said, but Saber seems to be less than fond of this. Through use of a Command Spell, it has been unsealed.

Prana Defense: A+. A variation of the skill known as 'Prana Burst'. The fundamentals remain unchanged – use of prana as fuel to accomplish greater feats, but this variation is oriented purely towards defense. Effectively, it is 'magical energy translated into armor'. The act of bathing in Fafnir's blood changed the nature of his existence to that of a 'dragon', and the act of partaking in its flesh and organs gifted him with the so-called 'Dragon Factor' – effectively, Saber is constantly wrapped in magical energy reminiscent to that of such creatures, suffusing the entirety of his physical form, and even without accounting for any physical protections, his body alone is already on par with the Dragonkind – such is the true nature of 'the hero Sigurd's invincible skin' so often praised. However, this invulnerability possesses the same caveat that would be expected – a linden leaf stuck to his back while bathing, and made that place the only one of his body the blood would not reach, and thus, the only true weakness in a defense that should have been, by all rights, absolute.

Due to this, his Saint Graph as a whole manifests the nature of a 'Dragon', and thus, he is liable to be more vulnerable against heroes or weapons associated with 'Dragon Extermination'. It is quite ironic that the bane of one of the greatest dragon-slayers would be 'kindred spirits'.

Rune Magic: B. Skill to employ Runes, the ancient Magic Crest of Northern Europe. Having obtained all eighteen from that Valkyrie he once met, herself having mastered them long ago, his skill with magecraft is beyond doubt, and proper employment would see him able to concoct even a shield capable of blocking a great Noble Phantasm, enhancing attributes or attacks and even mount a defense against high-grade Mystic Eyes.

Perhaps owing to who taught him, he treasures the knowledge for more than just whatever advantages it might offer.

Inversion Impulse: E. The urge to give in to an impulse that is both 'inherent to the self' yet 'completely alien to the self'. In the case of Sigurd, this impulse speaks to the nature of 'Dragon' that pervades his Saint Graph, the blood running through his veins and drenching his skin. Fafnir was not a two-bit lesser drake – but rather, an archetypal existence that burned the meaning of 'dragon' in generations to come, only rivalled by one other. Tapping into this forbidden well causes a surge in STR not too dissimilar to the effect of Monstrous Strength.

However, every time it is used, there will be a Rank-up to the Skill. Through E to B, no changes will occur in the physical sense – though the Servant's psyche may be compromised, if still functional – but, as the grudge of his blade grows and this Skill attains its apex, should it be used for one last time when it reaches A Rank, a shift will be made manifest upon Sigurd's Saint Graph, turning him into something far removed from the man he is now.

NOBLE PHANTASM
Grani – Through the Flames, Nothing shall Bar Our Path
Rank: B
Type: Anti-Unit (Self)
Range: 1-99
A fantastical existence known as Grani, Sigurd's much beloved gray mare. The horse itself is of magnificent stock – a gift from Odin while disguised as an old man, through its veins runs the blood of Sleipnir. Though it has attained 'only' Phantasmal Beast status, it should be noted that its age and lineage make it an incredibly strong specimen. Sigurd may call Grani during combat in order to supplement his mobility and attempt to trample his enemies under powerful hooves, but in the end, this is not the true use of 'Grani, Sigurd's Noble Phantasm', so much as it is a use of 'Grani, Sigurd's powerful mount'.

Rather than 'combat', the Noble Phantasm could be said to be a combination of both Sigurd and Grani in tandem used for 'travel'. A certain fragment of his legend speaks of how one of Gunnar's tasks was to pass the ring of fire in order to court Brynhildr, and it is noted to be a task only Grani could accomplish – and only with Sigurd using it as his mount. There are no mentions of why such a thing was required or how such a feat was accomplished beyond the implied 'Grani was the best of horses, and Sigurd the best of heroes', and the Noble Phantasm is both a crystallization of the feat and the implication it carried. No matter how treacherous the path, complicated the Bounded Field or well-defended the fortress, should the True Name of the Noble Phantasm be activated, Sigurd and Grani will inevitably appear at their set destination as though by spatial transference – effectively 'Grani and Sigurd must travel through treacherous ground in order to arrive' shifts into 'Grani and Sigurd travelled through treacherous ground in order to arrive', forcing the world to conform to such 'truth' and skipping the 'journey'. So long as Sigurd knows where the place he wishes to travel to is located, they shall 'certainly reach their destination'.While this steed should only be accessible with it’s true capabilities if Sigurd is summoned in the Rider class, the bonus of Staging Ground allows for the ability to remain.

It could be said to be similar to a writer's own laziness in not figuring out a means through which the hero could have bypassed the traps in his way, and simply insisting that he did because 'this is one of those situations where the destination is more important than the journey, isn't it? Just get on with the story!'. Of course, the flipside of such is that the farther away the destination and the more dangerous the path (interesting from a storytelling standpoint), the more magical energy will be consumed if the Noble Phantasm is used.

Audiences are truly merciless.

En med snøen- One with the Snow, the Cloak of Deceit
Rank: C
Type: Anti-Unit (Self)
Maximum Number of Targets: 1
Range: 1
The cloak which Sigurd wore in the trials Gunther underwent to aid him secretly. When he puts the cloak on, his presence vanishes, and he becomes hidden entirely from the world. Wearing it also gives Sigurd a Strength modifier of a single +. Thanks to the many anecdotes involving the cloak being offered to another to use, Sigurd can freely give this cloak to anyone and allow them to use its effects without a drain upon themselves. There is also a point about how the true strength of the cloak lies in its capability to shift a user to a desired form, but Sigurd is unable to bring out the true potential in it.

Gram – Blade of Glory, Blade of Ruin.
Rank: A ++
Type: Anti-Army
Maximum Number of Targets: 500
Range: 1-99
The fabled 'sword in the tree which grants sovereignty', a prototype of the arguably more famous 'sword in the stone that selects the king', doubtlessly among the strongest of magic swords and the very strongest blade of Norse origin. Originally crafted by the gods and retrieved by Sigurd's father, Sigmund, it was broken by Odin's Gungnir during battle. An episode of his legend tells of his quest to find a sword 'worthy of a hero' that will permit him to slay Fafnir. Regin forged for him two meager blades, which broke upon testing due to Sigurd's phenomenal might, and in the end, the youth handed the dwarf the remnants of his father's blade in order to remake it for the son. However, this is not the end of the tale.

Indeed, it was first forged by the gods. Indeed, it was remade by the dwarf – inhuman in both make and size, boasting enormity only such hands could confer. Yet, at the same time, it was weak because it had been remade – Mystery, once lost, cannot be regained. Such is the way of the world, and Gram's was lost the very moment Odin broke it. Thus, although first-rate and able to withstand Sigurd's strength, the blade itself was still a shadow of its former self – its self when it was unbroken and unsullied, which could never be attained again regardless of the smith being the lowest wretch of the mortal realm or the highest among gods. Instead, a different route was taken.

Its nature shifted. Its form shifted. Its identity shifted. Gone was the elegant Sword in the Tree – make way now for the blade that would bring about glory beyond measure and ruin beyond measure, a sword that collected into itself the hatred and curses of the fallen, a demonic blade steeped in the grudges of those slain by Sigurd. Those grudges are the chief source of its power – for hatred that lasts beyond death is no small thing, promising 'glory on the battlefield'. Yet, at the same time, they also bring about the 'ruin' of the wielder – causing Sigurd's Luck to plummet.

In practical terms, the blade will absorb Mana from the surrounding area and passively feast upon Sigurd's magical energy upon being wielded, accumulating it within. Thus, the longer the battle goes on, the faster it can be activated, which can be useful under certain circumstances. Runes carved upon the flat of the blade channel and augment – 'amplify' – the prana within, and True Name invocation will cause an explosive release of magical energy for the purpose of 'destruction' alone. Compared to the elegant gold slashes of certain Holy Swords and the semicircle of searing twilight unleashed by one in particular, Demonic Blade Gram's release is shaped like a raging, unreasonable cone of vivid crimson that even Sigurd has great difficulty controlling, and it would be no less than ruinous if loosed carelessly, able to match even that Holy Sword which is touted as 'the strongest'.

Physically, the blade is shaped like a truly gargantuan greatsword, almost longer than Sigurd himself is tall and as wide as two and a half adult hands pressed flat. Unlike the more ornate weapons of the era said to be wielded by this man, Gram carries nothing to disguise its true nature – a masterfully crafted killing tool, lacking even a guard, and devoted solely to bringing about the deaths of those in the path of the swing. Though razor sharp – Regin was indeed a master of his craft – its enormity makes it seem more like it would be used as a giant, bladed club than an actual cutting tool like Sigurd can – and indeed, any man that does not possess the strength of the aforementioned dragon-slayer would find it nearly impossible to even lift it, much less wield it, and would likely decry it as far too massive to be called a sword – more like a lump of metal with a handle that would be more at home displayed as a parody. As mentioned, various runes are carved upon the blade and are key to its use as a Noble Phantasm – though they also accomplish a 'warding', keeping the grudges of the slain Gram so greedily feasts upon contained within the steel. An unwieldy demonic weapon that one would think to be the tool of a villain, nonetheless owned by a first-rate hero that passed on to the annals of history.

Incidentally, it would be renamed 'Balmung' at a later date, most prominently within Wagner's Nibelungenlied and Ring Cycle in general, suffering a change in appearance and a revision to its origins, shifting its nature once more. One cannot help but be thankful for this – after all, 'that man' already had enough troubles heaped upon him.

Name: Johann Einzbern
Age: 1 ½ years old
Gender: Male
Weight: 50kg
Height: 5’9”
Elemental Affinity: Void
Alignment: True Neutral
____________________________________________________________________________________
Magic Circuits
Number: A
Quality: A
____________________________________________________________________________________
Magecraft/Abilities: As a manufactured homunculus with his focus being in the generation, manipulation, and general understanding of prana, Johann would be expected to be capable of a grand number of things.

Unfortunately, that is not the case. Being stuck in a coma a month after his “birth” left him capable of only activating his circuits and using some basics. However, due to the way he was created, even in his current state he is capable of using his circuits. He still dreams, and still twitches, but he cannot escape his coma.
____________________________________________________________________________________
Other Abilities: A comatose Homunculus. Not a lot.

Mental Connection: The capability to connect one's mind to another's. Johann utilizes a simplified form of this, in that he can reach out and grasp the minds of many, understanding them and communicating with them in his 'dream'. The more people he connects with, the less 'personal' the communication becomes. Once the number of people he is interacting with exceeds his fingers on one hand, it could be likened to "a top-down strategy game." He finds it extremely easier to connect with other Homunculi, both in terms of numbers and distance, and can command them very easily.
____________________________________________________________________________________
Mystic Codes/ Magical Items: A nice wheelchair that doubles as a bed. The wheelchair can also move on it’s own quite quickly if powered with prana.
____________________________________________________________________________________
Weapons/ Other Belongings: A group of Homunculi created by the Einzbern factory sent along with Johann in order to take care of him and be able to defend him. Only one pair are proper combat Homunculi created by the Einzberns, a pair of twins with considerable skill at arms and combat, while the other 5 are failures much in the same sense as Johann, with flaws in their creation preventing them from operating at their best. The 5 failures are also strong combatants, but cannot reach the peak levels of strength the twins can. The name of the “proper” Einzbern homunculus that is the leader of the group is Anneliese and her sister is Sari. The others did not warrant names.
____________________________________________________________________________________
Personality: An inquisitive child, who barely got to see much of the castle before slipping into a coma, much less learn of the world outside. Little understanding of the true nature of the outside world, leading to much enthusiasm if he ever gets to interact with something new. Unfortunately, with his comatose state, he isn’t exactly capable of such.

Not only is he a curious soul, Johann is also very blunt, generally preferring the direct path, an immediate solution. As a young child, he harbors a powerful desire to “know the ending”, not having grown enough to understand the joy of the Journey to reach such a point. He may regret such rash behavior in the future, however.

Capable of understanding others, due to the pain he himself lives in of no life at all. Believes that living any moment of your life without enjoying it to the fullest is a waste.

Background: A Homunculus created by the Einzbern factory with the purpose of being able to channel immense amounts of prana safely and easily. A prototype model to try and recreate Justeaze with the necessary capability to serve as a Lesser Grail.

Unfortunately, he was ultimately deemed a failure. Trash. A reject of the Einzbern house. His talent and function kept him alive and under care, but he was unable to serve as a Lesser Grail, nor was he capable of moving on his own due to his own coma. However, his mind is still active beneath it all, slowly, dreaming and wishing.

Finally, the Einzbern family decided to send him to the war in Germany. A reject being sent offhand to research the possibility of a knockoff or fake. The main important resources were sent to Fuyuki to pursue the true grail, but some things were spared for the side-project. Mostly trash, but why invest any more in something not confirmed to be real?
____________________________________________________________________________________
Wish/Reason for Being in the War: While Johann does have a personal wish, he understands his duty first and foremost to the Einzbern family. To retrieve the Greater Grail, he must fight in this war. However- that does not dispose him of his wish. He wishes to live life as a real person, to enjoy what could have been, had he been “normal”.

True Name: Edmond Dantes
Aliases: The Count of Monte Christo, Sinbad the Sailor, Abbe Busoni, Lord Wilmore
Class: Assassin
Gender: Male
Height: 185cm
Weight: 75kg
Alignment: Chaotic Evil
Wish for the Grail: That those who betrayed him never had.

Personality: A silent, passive individual, Edmond prefers to keep to himself and his master while silently observing those around him. When he is talked to though, he has is shown to be a kind and caring individual, who's main concern is for others rather then himself.

Underneath this kindness though is a calculating, possible cruel man who will aim to achieve his goals regardless of the costs. If someone dies or something is lost, as long as the desired result was obtained, there is no price too high and that he cannot get back later if needed be. That being said, he is capable of caring for his allies and holds them dearly, preferring to save them above all else. Property, titles, and possessions can be taken back. Time and lives cannot, a matter he is well aware of.

Background: The main character of Alexandre Dumas' The Count of Monte Christo, one of the most famous tales of revenge. A trader who had ascended to the rank of Captain, he was betrayed by three of his crew and the judge who was to overlook his trial and sent to the nightmarish prison, Chateau d'If, from which it was said no man could escape. While in the prison, he befriended a fellow prisoner, Abbe Faria, who educated him in many subjects and told him the location of a hidden treasure, before escaping by taking the place of Abbe Faria's body after their death.

Securing the treasure, he spent years plotting his revenge and upon arriving in the city where he had been betrayed, Marseille, he systematically ruined the lives of those men, taking their fortunes and reputations, but never their lives. Charms, money, knowledge, and influence where his weapons of choice and thus he got away with his vengeance without a single problem.

Stats:

Strength: D
Endurance: B
Agility: C
Magical Energy: C
Luck: B
Noble Phantasm: C

As an Assassin Servant, or a Servant in general, Edmond is rather weak. His legend mentions no feats of strength or agility or magical prowess. He was, however, able to endure the hell of Chateau d'If and it seems as though events, even those he did not foresee happening, always turned to his favor after his betrayal.

Class Skills:

Presence Concealment: D
As an Assassin, Edmond naturally has the Presence Concealment skill. However, as he was not trained in the art of stealth and he usually showed himself to his targets, it is exceedingly low.

Riding: C+
Edmond obtained the rank of First Mate and would've been Cpatain of a ship where it not for his betrayal, manifesting in the Riding skill, though he is only good enough to use regular vehicles and common mounts. However, he is particularly good with ships.

Personal Skills:

Determination of Steel: EX
Edmond know what he wants and how to get it. He spent years planning his revenge and never gave up on it. This skill makes it impossible to deter him from achieving a goal he sets out to do. One can convince him to belay with but no amount of persuasion or illusions or obstacles will prevent him from reaching his goal.

Wisdom From Desperation: A
Having endured the horrors of Chateau d'If and emerged wiser and more focused then before, Edmond gained the wisdom he needed to execute his plans and overcome his despair and doubt. This skill prevents any sort of mental disturbance from hindering Dante, making charming him or casting illusions on him almost impossible.

Golden Rule: A
Having found the treasure of Abbe Faria, money is no problem for Edmond and it seems to find it way to him naturally.

Charisma: D
Edmond was a charming man and capable of manipulating multiple people or commanding a crew. However, he was not able to lead an army or a country, thus the low ranking in this skill.

Height: 175cm
Elemental Affinity: Physical
Alignment: Neutral
________________________________________________________________________***_____________
Magic Circuits
Number:B
Quality:B
________________________________________________________________________***_____________
Magecraft/Abilities:
Chaud uses physical augmentation magic, increasing his speed, strength, and durability, with speed being his specialty. He is capable of using up to Double Accel for brief periods, doubling his speed to inhuman amounts, and his strength can be enhanced to allow him to bent metal with a single blow. While enhancing the toughness of his skin helps against bladed weapons, it will only slightly lessen the damage from bullets and do nothing against a Noble Phantasm of any kind.
________________________________________________________________________***_____________
Other Abilities:
Chaud is skilled in the use of firearms, hand-to-hand combat, and medicine.
________________________________________________________________________***_____________
Mystic Codes/ Magical Items:
Scythe: Chaud's scythe is his Mystic Code, allowing him to store mana to use for his spells incase of a prolonged fight. I also acts as a weapon for combat and is collapsible.
________________________________________________________________________***_____________
Weapons/ Other Belongings:
Chaud carries several, small, semi-automatic weapons, a 1935 Beretta pistol, and grenades on his person for combat purposes. (no homing finger bullets or poison heart grenades though)

A locket with a picture of his wife and child.
________________________________________________________________________***_____________
Personality:
Chaud is a soldier. He is serious, taciturn, and at times, completely cold-blooded. The sight of blood and violence do not bother him and he will not flinch at even the most violent of situations. To his enemies, he shows no mercy short of a quick death, especially to those who otherwise might die more slowly and painfully or even survive if left alone. To many, he is a cold and ruthless killing machine.

However, Chaud's humanity is far from lost. He is married and the father of a single child. He cares very much for his child and fights to make sure the world they grow up in is not as violent and war torn as the current one. His family is ever present in his thoughts and they are his primary motivation in this War. He is kind to bystanders of a conflict and will go out of his way to help those in need, especially women and children. Even will even spare what resources he can to help them out of a tough situation and will escort them to safety in the middle of a fight if he believes they will all make it out alive.

Background:
Chaud was born into a family of magical soldiers, mercenaries for hire who worked for the Mages Association. on numerous occasions. the fourth generation of his family, Chaud displayed above average magical talents from a young age and was quickly expected to excel in his families business. His training began at the age of four and by the time he was fifteen, he had killed his first man. He was taught how to maintain and repair his weapons, how to take care of himself on the battlefield, how to follow orders, and other thing typical of a soldier. Unlike other soldiers, he learned magecraft, which his specialties in physical enhancements making him a versatile and deadly combatant, and how to fight other mages.

When he was 18, Chaud met his wife to be, Annamaria. The young woman saw something many didn't see in the young soldier and pursued him much to his chagrin at the time. Over the course of three years, she worked her way into his heart and got him to soften considerably, at least while outside the battlefield. His father disapproved of this development, saying it dulled Chaud's senses and made him more vulnerable in battle, but Chaud ignored him and eventually became engaged to Anna. His father, take exception to this, tried to have the young woman killed, but Chaud's mother, who enjoyed Anna's company and influence on her son, managed to warn him in time to save his beloved. Enraged by this, Chaud set out and killed his own father, proving himself the better mage and soldier.

Now a husband and recent father, Chaud fights in the War to secure his daughters future. He knows the odds of survival are slim and he has demanded a heft payment upfront to secure his family's future, as well as transport to America. He will give it his all to make sure his child has a better life then he did. And if God deems it, he will survive to see them grow up and live a happier life then he ever could.

Wish/Reason for Being in the War: For the world to be a more peaceful place, so that his child can grow up safely.

Magic Circuits
Number: D
Quality: D
Composition: Sufferance
________________________________________________________________________***_____________
Mysteries:
[ Magic circuits were gained because of her parents pious life. They are suited toward miracles of the Church thus are incompatible with magecraft.]

Holy Sacraments
Operating off the basis off the belief in the Church, christian sacraments are the most widespread Magic Formulae in the world. Based around purification rituals and rites, sacraments are the almighty power the Holy See levels against spirits, vampires, and other inhuman creatures. While she comes from a lineage absolutely suited toward this ability, her practical knowledge is quite low. In other words, she is only capable of the foundational sacraments. A pious Knight, but certainly not a devout Priest or Nun.

Clairvoyance
In exchange for this ability, her eyesight has been permanently lost. To seal a contract her eyes were offered to the guardian spirit in her armor. In exchange, she was given the capacity to perceive beyond physical limits- that is to say, "see things that normally cannot be seen". She can "perceive" everything around her in a given radius, and can exceed even that by making her perception almost something like a disembodied camera. Without her eyesight, her other physical senses have increased drastically.

Mystery of the Incarnation
A feat of mystery that is not reliant on magecraft. By interfacing her magic circuits with the spirit within her Holy Scripture, she can allow the spirit attached to possess her. Though all of her natural abilities are perfectly suited toward it, she can only access a fraction of the guardian spirit's abilities as a result of her weak circuit. Knowing that, it still goes beyond the realm of most self reinforcing magecraft as she is becoming something fundamentally inhuman. With her current level of talent and ability, she can enhance all her physical attributes to the level she could push a master of Reinforcement back in a melee. If she was equivalent to a "Absolute Prodigy of the Assosciation", she could even incarnate some of the Spiders unique abilities. Even if the capability was enhanced though, the spirit would probably slowly eat her soul.
________________________________________________________________________***_____________
Mundane Abilities:

Martial Skill
Master of purely western fighting styles and traditions- her movements are hard to see, let alone read. In an era in which the gun has supplanted any other weapon, she still makes use of both her body and sword as a weapon. Knowledgeable not only of the sport of combat, but the actual practice. If it's purely a fight based on technique and nothing else, she's one of the best in Europe. Could be a rival of even a certain "Tiger" in Japan if Eastern and Western swordplay were more compatible. However they are not very knowledgeable about modern weapons and cannot use magecraft of any sort. Raised in the backwoods far from civilization, they'd probably just shoot their own foot if they tried to use a gun.

Self-Hypnosis
At a face similar to the self-hypnosis that mages use to enact magecraft. However the reality is that, for the Romano family which has a very limited lifespan, sleep is inefficient. Each new head is imparted with their fighting techniques and knowledge through a form of hypnosis every time they sleep. By triggering this ability, Giovanna gains access to that information along with hypnotizing themselves. Their skill increases manifold, and the normal limits of a human body are removed. Additionally, a form of Future Prediction(Unconscious guesses based on current and past observations) becomes possible as an extension of her clairvoyance.

Excellent cook, good at housework

________________________________________________________________________***_____________
Items with Mystery:



Holy Relic "Thirty Pieces of Silver"
Actually, there are only around half that under the Knight Orders care. Five are missing, and ten are located within the deepest vaults of the Vatican. The only special "ability" they have is a curse of the highest strength possible, a taint leftover from their payment for killing the Son of God. Existing as a duality of "Holy Relics of the highest caliber" and "A curse of the greatest magnitude". Too dangerous to use directly in combat, they are usually stored within a intricate locked box inside the shroud of a saint. Can be used to make her otherwise normal weapons more of a threat against magi or vampires by rubbing them with shavings.

________________________________________________________________________***_____________
Belongings:

Relic Sword, Shield, Halberd
Ancestral Heirlooms that have accumulated years(mystery) going as far back as the Crusades. Otherwise just normal weapons of the highest quality.

________________________________________________________________________***_____________
Personality:

Does not hold the values of a magus. Infact, she is a true believer of The Holy Church. At face value, Giovanna initially seems rather unintelligent and oblivious to the world around her. However, it is more apt to say she is thick headed and stubborn, pursuing what she feels is "Right" before anything else. In other words, she has a strong sense of justice that is followed with recklessness. It's somewhat hard to notice this under normal conditions, as she is usually quite shy with a weak sense of self and ego.

Feeling a distance from normal people because of her upbringing and abilities, she finds it hard to interact with others. She strengthens her personality and will into a strong blade by pursuing an idealistic world, tempered by a special compassion for others. Even if she is normally shy, even if her life is on the line- she presents a confident facade so that she can frown in the place of others. Never once has she gone back on her word. Somewhat of a country bumpkin because of her isolated upbringing.

Background:

Member of Ordo Equestris Sancti Sepulcri Hierosolymitani(OESSH), and head of the Romano family. In other words, the head of a family within the Church's military arm, the Knight Orders. Based within Istria, it is the family's task to guard a storeroom full of Holy Relics under the 8th sacraments care. Passed from generation to generation, the family headship is expected to manage the vast family resources. Additionally they answer calls to arms from the Holy Church when military expeditions are required.

However illustrious this sounds, to be head is the same thing as sealing your own death warrant. The natural born holy people of the Romano family are destined to eventually lose all senses. The armor(scripture) will eventually "drain away" all their perceptions except for clairvoyance. Eventually even that regressive perception will be lost, and the armor will become a true tomb for them. When this finale begins, a new heir is immediately uplifted.

It's only natural that the family isolates itself from the rest of the world within its backwoods Istrian estate. Giovanna herself is the current head after her fathers recent death. He married a woman outside of his prepared marriage from the family elders, and was always unpopular as a result. They continually sent him on suicide assaults against enemies that should've been out of his league. Eventually he met his end at the hands of his ancestral enemy, the super dead apostle Jure Grando. Officially Giovanna was ordered to merely observe the Berlin Holy Grail War. However instead she became an active participant against orders because of her desire to protect others. Though the Church hates the Nazi regime with a burning passion after it purged their hierarchy multiple times, they did not want open warfare.

Reason for Being in the War: To end the Holy Grail War.

(Merely his default appearance at night: He becomes larger and more imposing as the sun waxes)

True Name: Sir Escanor
Aliases: The Grand
Class: Berserker
Gender: Male
Height: Varies(Giant)
Weight: Varies(Giant)
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Wish for the Grail: None, yet. Being able to face Heroic Spirits of great strength is enough for now.

Personality: By the standards of Servants, Escanor is particularly loyal to both his master and team. Being a Knight as long as he "acknowledges" someone, an understanding can be at least reached. However when crossed by others he always remembers, and will react accordingly. Brash and very bold, he always confronts problems head on and with decisive action. In other words, he is quite haughty and bombastic- however. Acknowledging and understanding his own weakness, he tends to hide himself away at night. For him, its better to not even be seen at all. Despite his nature, he is quite cunning both in combat and off the field.

Background: Child of a giant and a witch mother in the era of King Arthur. They were born at the exact same time as Gawain. Sir Gawain's (fairy)mother once told him that "There is one opponent you absolutely must never face". Escanor the Large was of course that singular opponent, destined to face Gawain in a fight to the death.

Having been Gawain's opponent in family matters and been defeated by him in a previous duel, Escanor the Large prepared a plan to defeat Gawain. He sent his Lady(disguised) to ask of Arthur a single boon; to be his cupbearer for a day. The King of Knights accepted, and Sir Gawain, Arthurs "Greatest Knight" was to be her protector. The next day as the Round Table feasted, Escanor haughtily walked into Arthurs court and seized the Lady. Claiming she was his sweetheart and simply walking off, no Knight could find it in themselves to challenge him. Gawain rushed after them after the conclusion of the feast, only to find Sir Kay wounded and defeated by Escanor.

Gawain pursued him, but only arrived at Escanor at nightfall. As a result, he had to stay in a prerilous graveyard where The Devil(In the form of a Knight) had taken up residence. He dueled and managed to defeat him, before challenging Escanor in the morning. Their duel began, and it was utterly equal. Ending in sword to sword combat after Gawain targeted Escanor's horse, the duel went both ways. However, as the day went on Escanor slowly became stronger. However, Escanors sword eventually was caught on Gawain's shield. Gawain refused to accept surrender, and smote Escanor's head from his neck with his Holy Sword.

Stats: Modifier one; "It is between 6 and 8". Modifier two; "It is between 8 and 11". Modifier three; "It is between 11 and 1" His power wanes as the day ends on the same principle.

Class Skills

Mad Enhancement: E-
The user does not receive the benefits of Mad Enhancement nor do they lose any of their reasoning abilities, and overall they just become a little rougher. Escanor is not particularly known for his rage, except for when Sir Gawain acted dishonorably in their final duel. However, the Noble Phantasm is truly what has sealed this skill. Even if it is inactive, Escanor has a great resistance to pain. However because of his personality he is difficult to control unless there is an understanding with the master. He discards some of his chivalric ideas he would without a doubt keep as Saber. However "honorable Knight" is still core to his personality.

Personal Skills

Numeral of the Saint: EX
A special constitution that Sir Escanor possesses."Numeral of the Saint" is an extraordinary skill of the highest rank. The effect of NotS increases over the course of the day similar to both his Noble Phantasm and Attribute modifiers. It functions like Gawains, however it waxes and wanes with the sun- that is to say at maximum, between 11 and 1 his power is increased three fold. However this skill only comes into effect when he speaks his Noble Phantasms True Name.

Demi-Human(Giant): A
A Skill to represent the phantasmal nature and superpower of a Giant. Only Demi-humans or those with Demi-human blood are capable of displaying it. It is a mixed Skill of the Mana Burst(Solar), Monstrous Strength, Natural Monster, Bravery, etc. Almost completely sealed at night. Child of a Giant and a Witch.

Eye of the Mind (False): C
Through this ability, it is possible to halve the penalties inflicted by visual and auditory interference. The ability to instantly identify “the best personal course of action” during combat. Because this Skill allows for the prediction of trajectory, it is possible to avoid attacks from firearms. During his life, Escanor fought Gawain, Knight of the Sun, in numerous fights and encounters. However this is just a refinement of his own natural instincts.

Disengage: C
The ability to withdraw from the battlefield in the midst of combat or reset the battle conditions. Bonus effect of returning battle conditions to what they were at the beginning of the match. The master can be included in this disengage as they are a maiden to be abducted. However, this ability is sealed during the day unless its to 'abduct' the master.

Combat Capabilities: An honorable Knight. However he does not duel in a more classic manner as Berserker. While skilled enough to face Gawain, he is not comparable to "Legends of the Blade" such as Lancelot if its just his skill with armaments. Manifesting with both armor and a sword, both are less and less useful as the day goes on since they cannot handle their own user. While cunning, he leverages brute force in a way befitting of the Berserker class. Escanor uses prana burst to devastating effect, giving him more combat utility then what you would think. During his time in the Throne of Heroes, he took the infinite time there to think up many "Special Attacks" and "Named Techniques"(Though most are just normal attacks...). They have embarrassing names to any other person. During night, he hides himself away as he is completely outmatched by even Casters in a melee.

________________________________________________________________________***_____________
Magecraft/Abilities:
- Gandr (A Scandinavian curse that is casted with magic rather than runes, it decreases the physical health of it’s target upon impact. Veronica is capable of casting a Finn Shot, a Gandr shot with a significantly higher concentration of magical energy that allows the curse to cause physical damage. Veronicas Finn shot is capable of knocking out a target without magical training.

The technique is however mostly used to clear the mind and enter a union with their surroundings and the earth, which is used to perform her families spells to their full potential.)

- Reinforcement (Veronica is a natural at embedding items with her magical energy, in the case of reinforcement it of course improves the purpose of whatever item that has her magical energy poured into it.)

- Rock and Roll (Through the channelling of her magical energy Veronica can to some extent manipulate the Earth to a limited extent. It's most common use being moulding things like rocks and boulders. Although more often than not these come in the shape of reinforced pebbles. It is far easier for Veronica to manipulate things like mud and dirt rather than stone.)

- One With the Earth (Veronica can cover parts of her body with dirt or stone to act as a sort of pseudo armour for her. Of course without her magical energy flowing through it will be nothing but normal dirt.)
________________________________________________________________________***_____________
Other Abilities:
- Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) - The Landa family has always trained the members of their family in a mixture of fighting styles to aid them in their style of magic. The fighting styles that were taught to Veronica were primarily kickboxing and wrestling although there have also been some influences from eastern martial arts.

- Skilled Acrobat - Veronica is very athletic and sports a high level of dexterity, reflexes and coordination.

- Painting - Despite the time and effort she has put into her family's magecraft and her adoration for the Nazi party, Veronicas true passion lies with painting.

Personality:
A young girl from a family of magus in Vienna, Veronica is a very naturally upbeat and energetic person who always seems to be able to see the positive of things. She has a romanticized version of Germany in her head which she is very protective of and this dream of hers was what drew her towards the Nazi party. Veronica can get rather angry when thinking of those who wish to hurt Germany and has vowed to defend her land from anyone who might try to do so. Her parents did not share the same admiration for Germany or the Nazi party and would have preferred to stay out of matters that they did not care for, as to them it didn’t really matter where they lived or who was ruling where. However, Veronica was very adamant in her goal.

Despite being young Veronica is very conscientious of her weaknesses, she has very little experience and a rather limited world view. This does not lessen her will in anyway but she has begun to take a rather measured approach to things, although she is not the brightest this could be seen as quite a wise and mature thing by some as she knows her own limits and so tries to apply herself to each situation in a way that she is as helpful as possible, this means that she is not afraid to stand and wait until she is needed if she would only be a burden. Also in contrast to the rather tough exterior that she attempts to convey she is quite soft hearted which betrays the serious and cold demeanor she puts up. She would rather not have any lives be put at risk but if her life is in danger she is not one who would hesitate to defend herself or her allies to do what is needed.

Background:
As the heir to the Landa family of magus from Vienna, Veronica was raised with the expectation that she would take on the role of the head of the Landa family and continue to uphold her family's magecraft as well as their research and development. Although holding reservations with the future that had been planned for her she was willing to go along with her family as to her they were more important than her own wishes. Her father was very pleased with her growth as a magus while her mother would always be very pleased with her willingness to apply herself to anything that was set before her. Veronica was always a very headstrong girl who didn't mind failing at things as she believed if she was training everyday that she would eventually find success. As a family of magus her parents felt no love for their national identity as Germans, or even as Austrians and instead cared far more for their own family. And so they were disappointed when Veronica showed interest in joining The League of German Girls, the female section of the Hitler Youth.

She had joined to show her support for the Nazi Party as much as she could, as she believed that they would be the ones to create the utopia that she had constructed in her mind. However over time Veronica became a bit dissatisfied with the role that the League of German Girls had her take on, as really their only purpose was to indoctrinate young girls and train them to be a housewife and a mother in the future and so it was obvious why Veronica became slightly agitated with that as she wanted to help Germany in a much larger way.

Eventually leaving the League of German Girls due to a growing resentment for the thing her parents seemed to be relieved, hoping that her irrational admiration of the Nazi Party had finally been shattered. However Veronica had decided to leave the organisation as she believed that her training as a magus would be far more beneficial than anything she could have learned at the League. It was almost like Fate was putting those thoughts to the test when rumours of a grail war in Germany began to surface. Despite her youth Veronica was chosen to represent her house. She took this as the worlds way of telling her that it was her time to prove herself to Germany, as what could be greater than obtaining the holy grail for your country and people?

Wish/Reason for Being in the War:
Veronicas wish is to help in anyway she can to create the perfect Germany.

Wish for the Grail: To destroy the ‘Aeneid’/Remove the ‘Aeneid’ from history.

Personality: Virgil is a very calm and composed person, thoughtful and ever curious. She loves to study, experiment and explore new areas, learning was something that has always been very important to her. She is a very wise and accomplished person who was hailed as one of Rome’s greatest and most innovative poets during her lifetime and her literary influence only grew after death. However despite this she is a perfectionist at heart and her biggest self critic. The ‘Aeneid’ which is considered to be the national epic of Rome since the time of its composition and widely described as her magnum opus, would have been burned over a few imperfect lines in the 12 book behemoth of a poem if she had not passed away before she could do so. Virgil could be described as a somewhat quiet person, picking her words very carefully and reading the situation. As she was initially planning a career in rhetoric and law before deciding on poetry she developed a rather concise and persuasive way of speaking, it also helps that she is naturally a rather kind and gentle person with a caring disposition. However despite this Virgil could actually get rather shy and timid around new people, she was also a very cautious person who took great care in how she presented herself.

Virgil was always hailed as a very talented woman with a great intellect and that was for good reason, not only did she gift her talents to poetry as well as study a little rhetoric and law but in life she also had an interest in things such as philosophy, astronomy and even medicine. She was so popular and respected, and had such a profound and important impact on western literature that she was chosen by Dante Alighieri to act as his guide through hell and purgatory in his ‘Divine Comedy’, in ‘Inferno’ and ‘Purgatorio’ she is presented as the perfect Roman displaying all of the noble virtues and wisdom that would be expected. In his writings she not only act as a guide but also as a protector and a person of great reason with an almost teacher like relationship with Dante. Virgil was regarded as such a masterful poet and respectable person that her work and name was still held in the highest regard during the Middle Ages and beyond.

Background: Virgil was born in the village of of Andes, near Mantua in Cisalpine Gaul. She was the descendant of Roman colonists who had settled there earlier. She came from a humble background the same as her father who worked his whole life on the family far.. However despite this Virgil was destined for greatness in her life and showed signs of that at an early age and she received her first education when she was 5 years old, she would continue her education in Cremona, Milan and eventually Rome. Throughout her school years she was closely associated with Catullus’s neoteric circle and according to her schoolmates she was a very shy and reserved person during her school years, she was even given the nickname “Maiden” by them due to her apparent aloofness and social anxieties. It was also known that Virgil had very poor health throughout her life and in some ways was forced to live her life as an invalid which in her early years made it quite hard to connect with people and formed a psychological distance between herself and others, at least to her. During her school years she published a small collection of her early poetry under the title ‘Appendix Vergiliana’. Some of the most well known of these were the ‘Catalepton’ which consisted of fourteen short poems, and a narrative poem titled ‘Culex’(The Gnat.) These were generally not considered particularly excellent pieces of poetry by many of the scholars, however they were definitely a good start to her career as a poet and would pave the way for what would be considered the three great works of Virgil.

The first of Virgil's three great works was the ‘Eclogues’ which derived its name from the greek for selections and it was published in 39 BC. It was a group of ten poems that were modeled after the bucolic hexameter poetry, also known as pastoral poetry, of the Hellenistic poet Theocritus. She was driven to write this as a desperate attempt to reclaim her family's farm which had been lost in the conclusion of the Battle of Philippi where Augustus fought against an army lead by the assassins of Julius Caesar, after the battle Augustus paid of the veterans of his army with land in Northern Italy which meant that Virgil's family farm was given away. The work consisted of many things, among them were; the effects that the confiscation of land had on the Italian Countryside, the contrasting opinions of Romans who had their land taken away from them and how brutal of an affect it could have on people, both heterosexual and homosexual love, the myth of Daphnis in a song contest, the cosmic and mythological song of Silenus, a heated poetic contest and finally the sufferings of the Roman poet Cornelius Gallus. Through this work Virgil was credited with establishing Arcadia(Utopia) as a poetic ideal, which still resonates strongly in Western Literature and visual arts, it also set the stage for a great number of future writers. Christian thinkers believed that this great work was one of magic and prophecy through their interpretation of the fourth poem which detailed the birth of a boy which ushered in a golden age, this was a prediction of the birth of Jesus and so Virgil was seen on a similar level as the Hebrew prophets of the Bible as she was considered to be a herald of Christianity.

Around 38BC Virgil became part of the circle of Maecenas, who were agents of Augustus who sought to counter the sympathy that was building among the leading families of Rome for Mark Antony by rallying Rome's great literary figures to Augustus’s side. This was where Virgil came to know and become good friends with other famous literary figures such as Horace and Varius Rufus. During the following years Virgil began working on her second great work called ‘Georgics’ which derived its name from the greek for “On Working the Earth.” He dedicated the four books that made this work to his good friend Maecenas, the main theme of the books was the methods of running a farm. The work was published in 29BC, the first two books focused on raising crops and trees, the third book focused on livestock and horses as well as the description of a plague at the end of it, and book four focused on beekeeping and the different kinds of quality of bees. A particularly beloved and celebrated passage was the ‘Lauds Italiae’ which asserted the idea that no land deserved praise greater than Italy. At the end of book four Virgil added a long mythological narrative on a request by Emperor Augustus, it vividly described the discovery of beekeeping as well as Orpheus’s journey to the underworld. Virgil read out the ‘Georgics’ to Emperor Augustus in 31 BC after Augustus had returned from defeating Antony and Cleopatra at the Battle of Actium.

Virgil spent the last eleven years of her life working on her third and final great work, ‘The Aeneid’. It was a work that was commissioned by Emperor Augustus himself and is regarded as Virgil's finest work and one of the most important poems in the entire history of western literature. ‘The Aeneid’ was an epic poem which consisted of 12 books, they described the story of Aeneas, a Trojan warrior who was forced to flee from the sack of Troy and made his journey to Italy where he battled with the Italian king Turnus and settled in what would become the foundations of Rome. ‘The Aeneid’ was full of prophecies about the future of Rome, the deeds of Augustus and his ancestors, famous Romans and the Carthaginian Wars. Once again Virgil recited some of the Aeneid to Emperor Augustus, books 2, 4 and 6 in particular. Her reading of the sixth book caused the sister of Augustus to faint which inspired many later pieces of art. In book one the ancestors of Rome were driven from Troy and forced by a storm to sail for Carthage where they are welcomed by Queen Dido who over the course of the book falls in love with Aeneas. In books two and three Aeneas tells his stories of the Trojan war and his wandering of the Mediterranean in search for land, however in book four he is visited by Jupiter who orders Aeneas to found a new city, which results in Aeneas leaving Carthage, consequently this causes Queen Dido to curse Aeneas as she commits suicide. In book five Aeneas mourns his father and holds a funeral for him, after which in book six he is guided through the underworld where he meets with his father, here his father reveals to him the destiny of Rome. The latter six books of ‘The Aeneid’ detail the war between Aeneas and King Turnus from his arrival in Italy, political marriage, formations of alliances and finally the killing of Turnus whos pleas for mercy are ignored by Aeneas and is sent to the underworld lamenting.

In 19 BC Virgil traveled to Greece with the intention of revising ‘The Aeneid’, however during the journey she caught a fever. Despite being weakened with disease she made it clear that it was her dying wish for ‘The Aeneid’ to be burned as it was imperfect. However on the orders of Emperor Augustus the work was published after her death. Despite the regrets of Virgil her works revolutionized literature from the moment they were published, her three great works became texts that all educated Romans were familiar with and was admired by many of the later Roman poets, even worshipped by some. Her tomb was constructed in the entrance of a roman tunnel a short distance from the centre of Naples and for a couple centuries was a place of great veneration and pilgrimages.

It was believed that Virgil's works had magical properties and were used by many for divination. People would select passages at random from what they called the “Virgilian Lots” in order to answer questions for them. The legend of Virgil's magical power grew and grew until she was recognised as a great magician whose magic was perhaps even greater than her literary works. The legend of her magical power was so great that the welsh version of her name, “Fferyllt”, was the term that they used for magicians and the modern Welsh word for pharmacist, “fferyllydd” was based off of this.

Magical Energy: A+

Noble Phantasm: EX

Class Skills:
Item Creation - EX
Virgil can create magnificent pieces of literature that can prophesise the future, vaguely describing to the reader what is to come whether it be near, far or distant. As heroic spirits are beings who can defy fate these prophecies are far from fixed and may not even come to pass nevermind altered. Furthermore Virgil can create golems out of copper, this stems from the legend where Virgil crafted a copper statue for each of the Roman gods who would ring a bell whenever someone was intending treachery towards Rome, along with this she created copper dogs to chase down criminals to tear them apart and a copper horse and rider to keep the peace who would cut down or trample wrong doers. As she spent practically every waking hour of her life studying and creating she has become an expert of sorts in creating various magical items which can represent the ripe fruits of her dedication in life.

Personal Skills:
Earthly Paradise - A
As Dantes guide Virgil survived the depths of hell and the climb of purgatory to reach the Earthly Paradise, through this her mental and emotional fortitude is extremely high. Despite not being Christian herself she has overcome the seven deadly sins and was only denied access to heaven

The Marvelous City of Napoli - B
It was said that Virgil built the city of Naples for her true love, however in reality no such love existed and the city was instead constructed to show the glory and wealth of Rome. For her master she can bring wealth and comfort as she had for the city. Furthermore the city in which she is summoned in will receive many bonuses and boons from her arrival, the land surrounding the city will become more fertile and business within the city will soar to new heights. With Virgil's presence the city of the Holy Grail War has the opportunity to become one of great beauty.

A Rendition Fit for an Emperor - C+
In her life Virgil was chosen to recite her works to Emperor Augustus several times and through this he was so impressed that he commissioned her to begin work on what would become ‘The Aeneid’. Over the years Virgil refined her speech and was able to deliver her tellings of the books so powerfully that it caused the Emperor's sister to faint. This is a skill that reflects Virgil's skills and experience as an orator, replacing the charisma skill that would generally be reserved for military leaders. This skill receives a particular boost when interacting with rulers.

Combat Capabilities:
The entirety of Virgil's combat ability comes from her magic, her body is a weak and frail one however even that has been boosted far beyond what it truly was in life due to the nature of heroic spirits. She received no military training and dedicated her life to writing and studying, intentionally removing herself from politics and conflict so that she could spend most of her life with poetry and magic. She was however very close with powerful nobles, including the Emperor Augustus and his family which allowed her to observe different strategies and tactics used by the Romans however she is not a particularly proficient military strategist herself nor is she fit to lead an army.

Noble Phantasm(s):

Name: The Black Book
Rank: A
Type: Anti-Unit/Anti-Army
Description: The Black Book originally belonged to an ancient evil spirit who had been trapped. In exchange for the book and the knowledge required to understand it Virgil freed the spirit, only to later defeat the spirit. The book of legend is said to be one of curses and evil deeds, the spells contained inside the book can be casted straight from it if the reader has the knowledge required to use them. There is a variety of spells within the book but some of the most significant ones are; paralysing an army, turning men to stone, putting people to sleepm summoning rivers from nothing, casting great fires, stealing fire from its sources (an anecdote claims that Virgil once stall all of the fire in Rome to form one giant flame) and creating links between various bodies of water that one can travel through(a form of prepared teleportation/transportation. The is an anecdote of Virgil jumping into a pot of water and turning up in Sically.) The book is not required for Virgil to cast these spells however it is far easier and quicker to simply cast from the book, although Virgil can also grant the knowledge of how to use the book to others.

Name: Regulate Poetae - Rome's Greatest Poet
Rank: EX
Type: Anti-Unit
Description: The greatest poet that Rome ever saw, her works echo throughout history due to its titanic influence on western literature. This noble phantasm represents the genius literary mind that was revered and worshipped. The ability if this noble phantasm is that any piece of work Virgil writes, no matter what the actual contents of the work was it will surely be a truly “great work" that has the potential to revolutionise entire fields. Each of Virgil's works are imbued with varying degrees of magic.

Magecraft/Abilities: While Magecraft is a self-hypnosis of the self to convince the world to perform a feat of mystery. However, Yuri knows no magecraft. Psychonics -- an ability that is more of an ingrained mutation than that of circuits, only appearing within the confines of a single generation than passed down to those offsprings. One could consider his power to be the ultimate display of mankind compared to that of magecraft which still requires to trick the world in order to complete.

A “Normal” existence bound to him an “abnormality”.

Yuri could be considered to be the “Man closest to the sun”, though it is not as if he needed his wax wings to fly there. If the sun itself is “life”, than Yuri is able to see this power inside of others, and thusly can manipulate this power at will. A separate sixth sense that allows him to “feel” the energy of the sun as “life force”, and using his power, he is able to manipulate this power into any shape he wishes, including his own energy. A channel in the brain that relates to solar energy.

Because of his manipulation of this energy, the normal use of this skill would be to grant his strikes both the power of the sun, and the power of life energy, often able to disrupt bodies that are affected by the skill, or place the power within objects temporarily. This ability takes the appearance as a “wave” that directly covers the holder’s hands. The heat of which is able to destroy most opponents.

One could say then this skill would be better against non-humans than humans; a coveted ability by those who fight against creatures known as “vampires”. However, due to the death of his father, and his displacement, it was never used for this purpose. Though good money would be spent tracking this man if his powers were more widely known.
________________________________________________________________________***_____________
Other Abilities: Cossack: An umbrella term for the abilities standard of a Cossack. These skills range from the ability to fire short-arms from horseback, ride, a horse, tracking, able to live off the land, and other suck feats are applicable. One could say that the Cossacks themselves are beings that lived outside of society, yet enforced said society. This skills are versatile, and thus can be applied to numerous skills.

Weapons/ Other Belongings: Berezka: A horse he had bought to replace his aged horse from his Cossack days while he spent his time in America. Though most others had adopted the mechanical horse, certain habits for a cossack never die. A reliable, tamed horse that seems to have a deep understanding of Yuri; more than any human seems to comprehend, as if they two can speak directly to one another.

M1903: A weapon he had received during his service as donation equipment from the Americans to assist the whites from allowing the soviets to take over Russia. Of course, this didn’t work, but after his escape, he had made sure to keep the rifle in the best condition it could be in.

Cossack Uniform: Something old. Something constantly sewn back together. Something that could be considered important and sentimental to Yuri. A uniform that denoted his position in the Cossacks of the empire of old; the people who directly fought for the Tsar and his territories. Though he does not often wear this uniform, it is still something he treasures deeply. In addition to this uniform, a pendant with a photo of his Mother, sister, and himself he commissioned right before he left for the war within are two of his most prized possessions.
________________________________________________________________________***_____________
Personality: One could consider Yuri to be a person without much to lose. Perhaps before he was a boy full of optimism, but now, hardened by the experiences that paved the way for the century to come, Yuri is a realist whose romantic ideals were crushed one by the crippling reality of war, and twice again after by the death of his family as he fled from Red lands.

Despite this, one could not consider Yuri to be a bad person, but simply someone who does not think highly of himself, nor thinks highly of others, and while he follows what he considers to be moral, he isn’t above underhanded tricks to obtain the desired outcome he wishes for.

Troubled by his past, Yuri drowns himself in the ale and women he can afford from his missions. Never really has enough money to go around, and is often found sleeping outside when his funds are completely shot, not that he has difficulty doing so. A man corrupted by the vice of man, and one that does not allow others to get close enough to him, After all, if he spent money on himself, then he could not indulge in these vices. The natural depressants of man are all the middle aged man really needs; not the worldly concepts that most required during this timeframe from their work in the city, despite often taking these pleasures from the city. A “Cowboy [Cossack] in the world that has changed too much for it to feel real”.

Background: Yuri was born in a small town on the Don River to two Ukrainian Jews in the region. The third of four children, though both his younger brother and sister had died, leaving only himself and his sister as the surviving children. The two hardly knew of their father, who was an absent figure in the lives of the Romanyuk family. Yuri himself hardly had a face to place upon his father, aside from stories told of his exploits by his mother. And though always aware of his gift, it was not something he spoke openly about, even to his family, which he loved.

Though the town could be considered small, it was not as if the family lived in squabble. If his father was not part of his life, then one could consider his presence was felt by the Romanyuk family. After all, funds were sent to and from his position in the pacific territories of Russia. A military officer who travelled the frontier to pacify threats to the Tsar’s reign, or so he was told.

Therefore, as a young child, Yuri was the man of the house, often making the executive decisions that a paternal figure would make, the ranch where his family lived essentially being run by himself and his older sister. The two raised the horses together, and Yuri considered this youthful part of his life to be hard work, but fulfilling nonetheless.

Yuri had joined the war at the soonest he could when it had broke out.. Perhaps it was the “Ghost” of his father speaking, but he felt great patriotism towards his country. Both his sister and mother begged him not to go, but he felt that it was his obligation to fight against those who would dare destroy his way of life and slaughter the countrymen of the nation he loved. However, his sister and mother wished him not to leave. The draft was something that only required one family member to participate after all, and he was not called for such due to his father fighting in the conflict.

Yuri did not listen to them and like his father before him, trained to become a cossack. The battles were long, and the charges of his division were inefficient against the onslaught of Austrian and German machine-gun fire. IIt was not a war in the eyes of Yuri and his division, but a pointless slaughter of good men and horses.

Despite the bravery and courage his division fought with, modernization was the crux of any warfare, and done were the days of cavalry charges against formations. Therefore, his division was repurposed for disruption of supplies from the ever expanding lines as the Germans pushed into his home country.

But with the death of so many of his countrymen, and the growing discontent with the Tsar at large, in his perspective, filthy liberals were attempting to ruin the nation he had so much pride in. Of course, he was silent during the february revolution, as at the least the Duma preserved the society of Russians, but when the october revolutions hit, and the Tsar was killed in cold blood by the Reds, the country that he love exploded into civil war. Thus he had to flee eastward against the reds, and soon found himself under the mongolian divisions, fighting his damndest to defeat the plague to the nation he loved. He had heard that his father followed Kolchak’s men, but the two’s paths never crossed one another.

It was not long before the underequipped and underfunded whites began to collapse to the power of the reds, and when that happened, hoping to find freedom in a new land, Yuri escaped first to the Chinese Republic, then to Japanese occupied Port Arthur, and finally seeking asylum in the United States. In a note he had received while he was in the America revealed to him that his father, mother and sister were executed by the Soviets for their insolence and refusal to accept the revolution.

Yuri was heartbroken, and for years knew nothing that would fill the ever-expanding dread caused by this incident. In the end, he simply became a mercenary of sorts, accepting any and all missions so long as he was paid, and so long as they never broke what he considered to be “moral”.

Biography -

History: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiresias

It should be noted that like Arturia, Tiresias exists outside of the Throne of Heroes. Thus, their body is a physical being.

Weapons: Staff, Dragon Teeth, Hydra poison

Personality: One could describe the personality of Tiresias as to be defiant. A being who fought against the conventional knowledge of the world and those gods who both cursed and blessed the blind seer. Someone who simply did as they desired, though more often than not the man or woman had only stated what they believe to be true, and only did what they believed was correct. More often than not they were correct.

Not one to shy away from any subject, after all, they were blinded because they stated a woman had more pleasure than a man during sex, having experienced both sides of this, from their goddess Hera during an argument with her husband. Tiresias simply cares about seeking the “truth’ of the world, regardless of where it takes him. A force that sees the fate of man who simply wishes to produce his own Tiresias does not back down when threatened. True to the gift of prophetic power, he stands unflinching before the fury of kings or gods or goddesses. His speech may be barbed, his message horrifying, but Tiresias' dedication to the truth is uncompromising. For his suffering, his piety, and his devotion to prophetic truth, Tiresias emerges as a powerful — even admirable — character. Thusly, hardly is he able to state what he doesn’t believe as the truth.

An unfalsifiable belief in the self, regardless of what occurs.

Appearance: -





Weapons: Staff, Dragon Teeth, Hydra poison

Class Skills

Presence Concealment: D

Comparable to a spy halfway through basic training. Hides one's presence as a Servant. Suitable for spying. A low ranking of Presence Concealment unbecoming for an Assassin to the level that a Servant can infer one's presence at once, so long as they are paying attention to their surroundings. Not a true “assassin”, but due to his occupation for seven of his lives to be the Attendant to the King of Thebes, many a time had Tiresias committed acts of espionage and intrigue within his court. Anything to the benefit of Thebes, after all.

Territory Creation - Replaced by the “Temple of Hera” Noble Phantasm

Item Construction- B

Adept in the creation of many potions, though due to their personality these tends towards more risque creations.

Personal Skills

Double Summon: B

Possesses Class Skills from both the Assassin and Caster classes.

High-Speed Divine Words: A

High-Thaumaturgy-level Magecraft can be cast at the speed of Single-Action spells. Locked while a male.

Revelation: B

Different stories were told of the cause of his blindness, the most direct being that he was simply blinded by the gods for revealing their secrets. However, due to their blindness, they were given the ability to see through the “eyes of the bird”, and thus being able to “see what is to come”. He inherited a sort of 'wisdom' that manifested itself as a strange connection with the world. He is able to interpret the song of birds, the caress of the wind upon blades of grass and the thrum of mana in the air as warnings or advice on 'what is the best path' or 'what will come next'. Luck can, however, interfere with this.

Clairvoyance: B+

The ability to “see what the birds see”. A form of divination from the ancient greek belief of Augury, which they are credited in creating, that allows her to increase her view of the world from a distance away without needing to exist in a location. In addition, in combination with Revelation, limited future sight is possible. Tiresias the name became a title for the highest rank of seer due to his influence upon the field of study.

Noble Phantasms

Name Caduceus, Protector of Travels

Type: Anti-Unit

Rank: - C

Description: - Tiresias was the high-priestess of Hera, and the reason why the Caduceus had been closely connected with her, despite its origins beginning with Hermes. The Priestesses of Hera adopted the staff to themselves for their desire to The Caduceus is an object that is able to protect those who travel. To guide those without fail to their destination.

Whilst a priest of Zeus, Tiresias had seen two snakes mating and had decided to hit them with a stick, causing the once male Tiresia to transform into a woman for seven years, and to change his patron god to the goddess Hera as her High-Priestess as punishment for “her” transaction.. These snakes and stick had become his staff. The snakes themselves are alive and slither up and down the shaft of the stick, though this facts eems not to bother Tiresia, effectively using the object as a staff, even if but ceremonially

The true power of the staff — The Caduceus, as a staff of Hera instead of Hermes, is able to purify anything it touches, destroying curses and impurities within the confines of the object it comes into contact with, similar to a certain English bandit’s bow in reverse, acting as a filter of sorts for “that which shouldn’t be there”.

In addition to this staff is "held" by the owner, they shall revert to their female self.

Name: Hydra Blood, An Arrow to End a Journey

Type: Anti-Unit, Anti-divine

Rank: A+

Description: A single arrow containing the blood of the hydra that had finally killed Tiresias as he had insulted the god Apollo as he drank from his spring, breathing his final breath as he entered the afterlife. Even death could not stop him from granting mortals knowledge that only the gods should know, offering heroes information and tips from beyond the grave.

The single arrow holds a powerful poison that is capable of dealing heavy damage against all things divine, maddening them into a shriled version of themselves until they gift away their godship to walk amongst the humans, or perish from the pain it causes. Of course, it is just a single arrow’s worth, but even that is enough to cause extreme damage to those who pride themselves gods. Against non-gods the poison is still potent, but the effect is amplified against divinity.

Noble Phantasms

Name Temple of Hera, The Ground I Worship Shall Follow

Type: Anti-Unit

Rank: - D

Description: A form of territory creation. During her time as a female, Tiresias constructed a temple in honor of her patron goddess Hera. A temple that moved as they did according to the legend, following them as they spread the word of their goddess. They are able to construct a mobile workshop that can be moved.

Unique to this property of this summoning as an Assassin and Caster, the workshop is able to invert the world within its confines, preventing detection, as it was said to be “seen by only those are deemed worthy”

True Name: Claude Frollo
Class: Caster
Gender: Male
Height: 178 CM
Weight: 65 KG
Alignment: Lawful Evil

Wish for the Grail: To meet with Esmerelda, to attain her as his wife, to kill her.

To love is to destroy.

Personality:

A man who lived a righteous life.

A man who lived a life filled with curiosity.

A man who held an impulse, another voice within him that sought to waylay him.

A man who held a great passion and obsession.

That is the tale of the man who did good and evil in the story of Notre Dame. A man who cannot truly be called evil, who cannot truly be called good. In a sense he is a man who lost his purity when he met the woman who evoked maddening passion in him. It was a woman who waylaid Caster. Yet the potential for madness and evil was always something that lurked within. A man who did good, who resisted the devil and that voice.

Yet in the end he failed.

Background:

The famous Archdeacon from the Hunchback of Notre Dame. A troubled and yet pious man. Despite the high position as a man of faith he engaged in heretical practices and became a great magus along with a priest. Quasimodo himself was in fact a homunculus, created from a perished gyspy babe that he attempted to save and nurse to health. Such a sad ending moved the man, and in an act of both hubris and compassion, Clade Frollo went beyond to try and overcome his failure.

As such he made a homunculus, as such he raised a boy as his son. A homunculus has physical defects, and the genetic material of the gypsy boy was not that of a healthy child in the first place. Abandoned to die.

Yet as long as he lived it would be okay.

Even if their lives together ended in tragedy, even if passions drove men to sin and death.

It was not wrong to pick up that child. It was okay to create life.

The story of Notre Dame is well known, and his life held an overwhelming madness and tragedy to capstone a life of hardship.

Memories of the times that warmed his heart and provided the reason he resisted those impulses throughout his life are faint. Yet they linger, the tempering influence to the man ruined by passion who so single-mindedly pursues one obsession.

Oh Holy Grail. Please grant my wish.

Stats:
STR: E
CON: D
AGI: B
MGI: A+
LCK: D
NP: C

Class Skills:

Item Creation: A

A man who dabbled in many fields of magic and alchemy. Claude Frollo is able to create potions, and tools. Given enough time even the creation of homunculi is possible. Although it is not a talent of his.

Territory Creation: A+ The creation of a territory that is a temple is possible. As the Archdeacon of Notre Dame, and one of the most famous relating figures to the Cathedral in the modern era it is not strange then that where Claude Frollo is so too is the Cathedral.
. One of the greatest cathedrals in the world, within its halls the powers of Caster sacraments is elevated to an extremely high level on top of the normal benefits of a Temple. Furthermore various christian relics and tools (Black Keys, and so on, along with what is commonly known to be held there) are contained within its treasury.

Personal Skills:

A+: Knowledge in Pursuit of Obsession

It could said to be a special kind of Expert of Many Specializations.

Knowledge of various church secrets, culture spheres in depth and inklings of dark theories hide within Servant Caster. A rank Numerology, various church sacraments, magecraft, and even a few spells of amazing high thamaturgy are included in this knowledge. However, using this knowledge seems to evoke certain memories in Caster, and cause a degradation in the purity of his existence.
At a certain point a collapse/sublimation of Casters ego may occur and a alteration of his saint graph will happen.

It could be said to be one of the main reasons of Caster's fall to his passions. Yet he is not blameless himself.

Mixed in are his own varied studies on various forms of alchemy, and magecraft. Yet in truth a man such as himself would not have been able to learn enough to become a full-fledged Caster without this knowledge he inherited.

Protection of Faith:A++

Seemingly ironic due to his tale of his fall due to love and desire. Caster is the tale of a man of virtue ruined by passion. Yet the truth is that there is more to his tale. An impulse, another “him” whispered to Caster to take and murder, to take the stage as a ******, and pursue his obsession (Esmerelda).

An impulse, another him that wasn’t him. Something that had taken root and was part of Caster from his birth, having marked him, was manifesting.

Yet Caster was a man who was nothing if determined and pious. His passions and morality were two blazing flames that waged a battle within him, burning him to ash. Yet it was a twin set of flames, one that combated abnormality with abnormality.

An compromised break to maintain Caster as an identity. It is not a divine protection that comes as a power or blessing from a higher existence/godly source, but rather a purity of the mind and body born from his beliefs.

Resolution of Obsession C:

Destructive love, passionate love. To desire a certain Gypsy girl was the drive and ruin of Caster. A passion that united both the ****** and man in a single-minded pursuit. The girl was an existence that must be had by Caster, the girl was an existence that he hated, that he loved.
A girl burned onto the soul that is remembered beyond death. The feelings that Caster holds is complex. Hatred for the loss of his virtue (purity) the need to see her, the need to pursue her, the need to bring her death.

Caster loved the gypsy girl.

But he (it) believed it was hate.

If only if that man was able to learn better the nature of love.

Like a certain spear of love and hatred, the stronger Caster’s passions are towards a target the greater his power against them.

Combat Capabilities:

Armed with Baptismal Rites, magecraft of the church, magecraft that uses Christianity as a base, and various occultic studies... It is usually the case that Caster fights with elemental magecraft and a varied amount of tricks. His many studies and faith present a number of options, earning him the position of a servant of magic.

Hellfire: Evil Seeking Solace from Evil
Anti-Army Noble Phantasm
Rank: C

Fires of hell that one uses to punish. Fires of purgatory that remove sin and burn as a karma. A correction of the world under god, a scorching purge that removes that which should not be.

It is the desperate wish of those who are unable to reach perfection, enlightenment or saintliness for salvation that is born of a similar line of thought that led to the childish belief and act of branding and forcing the burden of all the evils of the world to another to absolve one of sin. Following the childish belief that the lack of evil is good, and shaped by the act of pursuing purity as a faithful of god, attempting to strive for an ideal that cannot be human but is instead dictated by the divine.

A crystallization of Caster’s obsessions and struggle between them and his desire to be a good man of god sublimed into a Noble Phantasm.

While it is called hellfire in truth it is more a passive Noble Phantasm that applies an attribute to his magecraft, leaving it akin to righteous flames that would consume Notre Dame if not contained.

The attribute of Judgement is applied to the magecraft of Caster. The effect is similar in a vein to the Baptismal Rites of the Church, being a rejection of that which is recognized as wrong or sinful in the eyes of god. Those that are evil, those that are not human, and so on.

Furthermore with a true name release the true namesake of the Noble Phantasm is evoked. A punishing flame with flames as heated as his passions is unleashed in a unforgiving tide. A grand sorcery in the form of a Noble Phantasm.

Alignment: Neutral Good.

Magecraft/Abilities:(Spells and/or powers your Master has)

General Magecraft: A proper education as befits a modern magus has been taught to Asheckalva.

Kabbalism: A magical system based off assigning value to letters. Asheckalva is able to utilize the three different kabbalist systems to shorten commands and thereby control many golems. Utilization of numerology, and the creation of golems.

Golem-making: Creation of golems. A magical construct that originates in Kabbalah, namely in the creations of Solomon ibn Gabriol, also known as Avicebron. A golem is created via using jewels as organs, parchment as skin, and mercury as binding. Other materials such as a magus for the core, a covering of stone, and the like are also considerations. They are doll-type familiars, similar to puppets but more machine-like in their nature.

The skill of the Zabolruju is among the best in the modern world. While they were a family that was always good at their craft, it was said that improvements to their designs and craft were made after one of their previous heirs met and made friends with a certain vampire. Even to this day some form of a friendship exists between the Zabolruju and the one who is the master of the many Demon Castle Golems. Their focus in particular grants their golems a certain unique facet and in a way it could be said that their business is that of creating terminals of holiness.

Utilizing Torah Scrolls, their golems hold the property of being an Ark/Holy Ground. As such they hold a property of being conceptual weapons that impose the laws of god upon contact. A far cry from the Ark of the Covenant that holds a taboo that destroys any that touches it. However they are indeed superior to more common conceptual armaments like the Keys of Providence of the church. Although most importantly for the pursuits of the Zabolruju they are a construct that enshrines/hosts holy things/energy.

Furthermore like the Black Keys of the church there is an Zabolruju art of creating golems. A mixture of things based on church sacraments, and Avicebron’s own magecraft. Although they are temporary constructs instead of the permanent constructs that golems normally are. Creation of golems through running magical energy through a Torah Scroll is possible.

Various configurations and templates are possible to be utilized in the creation of golems through the means of different parts of the Torah. Through this attribute it is also possible for the golems to shapeshift.

Seraphim: The act of creating Angels. Or rather the act of making golems into angels.

The idea of an angel can be said to be vague. Yet it is a mystery that is firmly believed within and one of the most stable foundations that exist in the modern world.

Beings of "fire" and heat. Beings that bring light and knowledge. They are an holy power and energy that uplifts and brings one closer towards god. Upwards, just as heated air rises. Energy that is pure and brings clarity. By making a perfect Seraphim the Zabolruju hope to create a golem that is more than just a golem. Rather they wish to both create a higher-dimensional terminal. Further connecting the Root with the throne of heaven, it is only natural for a Seraphim to lead to it. A Seraphim in the form of a golem. A connection to wisdom, a connection to truth, a connection to god and a connection to death. Such is their path to the root, such is the way they will reach the truth of all.

As the golems are Arks (places where holiness dwells and is contained) It is possible to imbue golems with the concept of angels and uplift them, giving them abilities/properties of an angel One could say it is a parallel to the great work that a certain philosopher and golemmaker attempted to bring forth with a golem that receive the blessings of the earth. In this case the golems themselves are the blessing of the heavens.

While the true enshrinement of a bonafide higher-order being has yet to occur, the fact that they could manage a pale shade of an imitation means that these golems are of a class that are hard to match if given the same amount of time and size, even in the hands of a great genius.

Furthermore due to the property of being that which guides man and brings knowledge, it is possible to use them as the base of clairvoyance,

As the main toil of the family, three golems passed down as heirlooms, and as the great work of their line are the treasures of the Zabolruju. Holding value equal, if not exceeding a magus’s magic crest. The blueprints of these three golems, and the three golems themselves are of a priceless value.

They are naturally not at a completed state, but they continue to gain mystery and are further improved generation after generation. In a sense the comparison to a magic crest is more than apt, being the built up work of generation after generation.

Certainly by the definition of a magus, these golems are undoubtedly angels (vessels of power)

In other words they 1: set things on fire (Spontaneous Combustion) 2: are conceptually angels. 3: Punch things really hard and good. 4: are good chairs.

________________________________________________________________________***_____________
Other Abilities:

Pottery: Is good at working with clay.

Financing: Good at managing his budget, finances and income. The creation of golems is a practice that requires some degree of fortune after all!

________________________________________________________________________***_____________
Mystic Codes/ Magical Items:(Any special magical items your character has)

Various Torah Scrolls.

Handwritten scrolls of gods most holy book. The partchment and age of these scrolls make them ideal materials, and ideal catalysts for the creation of golems.

Weapons/ Other Belongings:

Personality: An individual who is without doubt an optimist. Believing in the future, believing in the work of his family, and believing in his own future and success he is a man who does not worry. As one who has been able to contribute to his family's project and help improve their golem designs for the future, and one who has managed to manage his finances to establish a continued good fortune for his descendants... He could be said to be a magus who looks to the future. It is not as if he sacrifices the present, but rather than a magus who looks only nostalgically towards the past he is a sort who awaits the next passing day with interest.

However he is also a sort who is eccentric in how he deals with people. Golems are pleasant, golems are very listening. People he considers difficult are people he does not wish to deal with. In a sense he considers surface level friendships, and light-ties the best.

The main exception is a certain vampire he continues to write letters to, and occasionally is visited by.

Background:

A family of Jewish Golemmakers that date from eight centuries before. While of course to be a magus is to choose a different path from those who follow god, there is still a respect for the Judaic traditions. In a sense they could be called similar to those heretics who are followers of Christian faith while being magi themselves.

Differing from the man who wished to create a utopia and sublimate mankind and the world into paradise (Eden). The Zabolruju aim for the origin of all things by attempting to create a golem that brings the truth within death. A word-play brought by inverting the meanings of the words used to animate and stop a Golem. To remove a letter from truth is to turn it into death.

Mimicking the act of god and trespassing upon his authority.

Respecting the act of god and letting themselves be guided by him.

Let us make wonderful things. Let us make holy things.

--

With the political climate in Germany, and the various happenings, events such as the Kristallnacht already occurring. The cruelty of the Nazi regime when it comes to the treatment of the Judaic people was not perhaps something unheard of, yet a terrible plight.

Having heard of the contest held by the man known as Dr M, and also of the interest of the Nazis in the relic on offer. It was not surprising that Asheckalva chose to merge self-interest and his desire for the good of his own people into one and become a competitor.

Servant CS



True Name: Temujin
Aliases: Genghis Khan Lily
Class: Rider
Gender: Female
Height: 172cm
Weight: 57km
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Wish for the Grail: To unite the world with a common law; to create a good and just world without sin.

Personality: Temujin is a jolly fellow, who wish to conquer the world for the good of the world. She likes to socialize a lot, and is very charismatic and caring to her people. While Borte is he first and only true love, it is undeniable that she is a bisexual polyamorist with a lot of lovers, both male and female alike.

While a friendly person, testing her patience would be a big mistake, as her weakness is her wrath, she never forgives her transgressor, if you wronged her, you might as well be dead. (Her Chaotic Evil Alter Form is a Berserker class)

Background: The legendary Mongolian ruler, that is believed to be the greatest conquerer in history. While portrayed as a man in history, was Temujin in reality a woman. Born with a blood clot in her hands was it clear that she was destined to be a leader, despite of her gender. Later in her life was it clear that she was a military prodigy, as she lead her army to victory in all their battles, conquering land after land.

But before she became the great khan, Temujin is nothing more than a simple girl. Born as the daughter of Yesugei, a tribal chief, and Hoelun. As a daughter, Temujin is supposed to be a mere political token, if not for the for a Shaman who had forseen her destiny as the greatest khan of the world, and was therefore raised as a man, hiding her true gender to the world. The only person outside her family to know her secret is her blood-brother, and secret lover, Jamukha.

To keep her male facade, she was setup in an arranged marriage with the daughter of chief from an allied tribe. Her name was Börte. It didn't took long for Börte to know her secret. But rather than back down, Börte accepted Temujin as her (secretly) lesbian lover, and became her confidant along with Jamukha. At the age of nine, Temujin was sent to work in the service of Börte’s family to prove her worth, earn her future wife and show that she had what it took to become a great leader. However, Yesugei was killed by his in-laws on his way home. Temujin's tribe, not wanting to be led by a mere child, decided to abandone her and her family.

For the next several years, life was hard, but manageable thanks to Hoelun, who taught her everything that she needed to know to survive, both in the wilds and in the world at large. It is from her mother that she learned about the intricacies of politics, the importance of loyalty and brotherhood.

As she reached the ripe age of 16, she married Börte, but soon afterwards she was kidnapped by a enemy tribe. Fortunately, Temujin managed to rescue her thanks to Jamukha's help.

Soon, Temujin and her blood-brother became famous across the plains of Mongolia as they conquered tribe after tribe, gain soldiers after soldiers and generals after generals. It appears that she was poised to become the leader of all of the Mongol tribes. Little does she know, her biggest obstacle in her conquests would turn out to be Jamuka. While they share the same goals, or maybe because of it, the two had a a falling out as their conflicting ideologies becomes too apparent to ignore.

It appears this world ain't big enough for them, and a clash is inevitable. (And of Lily's story)

Strength: C
Endurance: B
Agility: C
Magical Energy: C
Luck: B
Noble Phantasm: EX

Class Skills:

Magic Resistance: C
While she didn’t encounter mages too often, was it enough for her to develop a resistance against magecraft. Temujin is unaffected by spells requiring a chant that has two verses or fewer.

Riding: A
The Mongols rode on horse back with extreme skill, firing arrows from them with great accuracy. Temujin can ride any animal with great skill.

Personal Skills:

Divinity: A
Temujin wasn’t born through the unification of a human and a Divine Spirit, but was granted her Divinity from being proclaimed a representative of Mongke Koko Tengri, the Mongol supreme god.

Charisma: A+
Even if her divine status wasn’t real, was the effect on her army and people so. Her new status acted like a curse on them, as going against her would be equivalent of going against God.

Military Tactics: B
Temujin was a tactical genius that lead her armies to victory against all that fought her army and conquered the lands between Japan and Iran.

Eye of the Mind (True): B+
While her military tactics was a big part of her conquest' success, was her ability to see through her opponent's strategy and finding a counter to it was what truly made her successful. As well as knowing how the opponent would react beforehand. She can calmly analyze all conditions, regardless of pressure, and quickly deduce the best course of action to turn around a situation. No matter how small the chance of comeback will she find a way to get closer to victory.
