[color=yellow][b]Class:[/b][/color] Archer
[color=yellow][b]True Name:[/b][/color] Esfandiyār
[color=yellow][b]Origin:[/b][/color] Iran/Persia
[color=yellow][b]Alignment:[/b][/color] Neutral Good
[color=yellow][b]Bio:[/b][/color] Esfandiyār was the Crown Prince and a Divine Warrior of ancient Iran (or Persia) who supported the prophet Zartosht (Zarathustra), enabling him to spread the religion of Zoroastrianism. He also fought against many apostates and enemies of Zartosht to do so. In return, Zartosht gave Esfandiyār a chain and armor from Heaven. The armor made him invincible and the chain had the power to bind anyone, even a demon or evil magician, making them unable to escape. Zartosht also gave a Divine blessing to the prince and declared that anyone who would spill the blood of Esfandiyār (killed him) shall suffer a cursed life of bad omens until the day he dies and even after death would be condemned to hell.

[color=yellow][h3][b]Class Skills:[/b][/h3][/color] 
[color=yellow]Magic Resistance C:[/color] [s]Negates Magecraft with an aria of two verses or lower. Cannot defend against large-scale Magecraft such as High-Thaumaturgy or Greater Rituals.[/s] This is sealed/replaced by the Noble Phantasm, Ruyin-tan.

[color=yellow]Independent Action A:[/color] 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.

[color=yellow][h3][b]Personal Skills:[/b][/h3][/color] 
[color=yellow]Protection of the Faith A:[/color] A skill possessed only by those who have sacrificed themselves for a religious view. Despite being a form of divine protection, it is not a blessing from a higher existence. It is the absoluteness of one’s body and mind that was born from their beliefs. But if it is too high, it causes abnormalities in the personality. In Esfandiyar's case he completely devoted to the beliefs of his people, the faith of Zoroastrianism is his sword and shield, for which he will kill and defend without doubt or turning away. It acts as a form of mental protection for him against mental attacks of equivalent rank.

[color=yellow]Uncrowned King's Charisma B:[/color] Esfandiyar lead the armies of his father into many victorious battles and swayed the people of his land into the faith of Zoroastrianism, while he has the capabilities of a King to lead an entire nation into prosperity, he suffers a rank down to the skill due to never having actually succeeded his father and obtaining the throne. He is a tragic prince who accomplished many grand feats but whose destiny prevented him from achieving kingship. This skill acts as a form of Charisma, with B-rank being the equivalent needed to lead a nation as it's King or Commander. 

[color=yellow]Clairvoyance C:[/color] The visual ability that is also called "Eagle Eye". It is frequently used during scouting. 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.

[color=yellow]Eye of the Mind (True) A:[/color] The heightened capacity for observation, refined through training, discipline and experience. A danger-avoidance ability that utilizes the intelligence collected up to the current time as the basis in order to predict the opponent’s activity and change the current situation. This is not a result of talent, but an overwhelming amount of combat experience. A weapon wielded by none other than a mortal, gained through tenacious training. So long there is even a 1% chance of a comeback, this ability greatly improves the chances of winning. At A Rank, Esfandiyar is capable of calm analysis of the abilities of the opponent as well as the battle conditions even when in danger and deduce an appropriate course of action after considering all possibilities to escape from a predicament.

[h2][color=fff200]Rûyîn-tan[/color] [/h2][h3]Blessed Body That Cursed Death[/h3]

Goštâsp, Esfandiyar's father, asked the prophet Zoroaster for four grand boons, expecting them all for himself but the prophet agreed to grant these boons but only at the cost of giving them to four different people. The result was for Goštâsp to receive the complete knowledge of his place in mînû or the world beyond; Jâmâsp to be rendered cognizant of all past, present, and future events that have been and to come to be; Pašôtan gaining a form of personal immortality; and Esfandiyar to be granted invulnerability, known as Rûyîn-tan or Burzēn-Mihr, the blessing would bestow Esfandiyar the inability to be harmed externally so that "no knife may bring him harm". 

This Noble Phantasm is the sublimation of that boon, though it is weaker when summoned outside of the Rider class. It is a "continuously active-type Noble Phantasm" that allows for his body to cancel physical attacks and magic equivalent to C-rank or lower. He can directly fight those with C-rank strength without taking a scratch, requiring attacks of B-rank and above to harm him, but attacks only register as damage only after the defensive values of an amount equal to C-rank are subtracted from them. All A-rank attacks are effectively reduced to C-rank attacks and B-ranks to D.

When Esfandiyar was blessed by the prophet Zoroaster and bathed in the flames of the Burzen-Mihr, Esfandiyar made the crucial mistake of closing his eyes, rendering them unprotected and the singular point of weakness to it's defenses. Attacks successfully striking his eyes do not gain any defensive values, allowing for even the weakest of servants to harm them. Due to his infamy in Iranian legend, should Esfandiyar's identity be discovered, it is highly likely enemies will focus his eyes with their strikes, making it important to keep his identity as secretive as possible.

Finally, this Noble Phantasm has a second effect that only becomes active the moment that Esfandiyar is killed successfully. Esfandiyar's killer is said to be cursed with a life of ill-fortune and misery, where death itself won't allow for respite, dragging them into the pits of hell. Ruyin-tan target's Esfandiyar's killer upon the moment of death and causes two curses to be placed upon them permanently until the killer suffers death as well. 

- All Stats are reduced by 1 Rank each.
- The noble phantasm, if applicable, used to kill him has it's function (or one of it's functions if multiple) sealed.

Alongside the armor which granted Esfandiyar invincibility, he possessed arrows which held heads of diamonds, capable of piercing the defenses of his targets seemingly no matter what they attempt to defend with. Esfandiyar's bow creates arrows with crystalline arrowheads that serves the same purpose. It is an Anti-Defense Noble Phantasm with the trait of it's arrows "punching" or more accurately slipping through any defensive noble phantasms or obstacles they come into contact with, bypassing the defensive measures altogether as though it were not there.

Esfandiyar also can choose to fully draw back his bow to it's near-limit and charge up a singular arrow with a sizable amount of magical energy and release it as a singular shot set to explode upon impact with a force of an A-rank attack. This arrow similarly carries the property of Anti-Defense. Though he may only perform the singular shot attack [u]once per day[/u] as a limitation.[/i]
