History Characters / FateGrandOrderChaldeaSecurityOrganization

* SourSupporter: He supports Chaldea but makes it clear he doesn't expect them to prevail when the odds are so stacked against them. [[spoiler:Seeing them conquer all the Lostbelts and ready to take the fight to CHALDEAS seems to have make them a little more agreeable.]]

* AntiHero: Marisbury was a man who spent his entire life, and the entirety of ''two'' vast fortunes, one attained supernaturally, working to save humanity while immune to temptations to use his resources selfishly. And he was no [[ArmchairMilitary Armchair General]]; he earned the second fortune by [[spoiler:battling through the risk and death of a Grail War]], and his alliance with the Atlas Institute to obtain the necessary technology he required had him willing to share the secrets of the Animusphere family with outsiders, a taboo act that could have resulted in them being wiped out by the other Lords of Clock Tower had they discovered it. He was also a cold and ruthless man with few morals or scruples, a father whose neglect towards his daughter bordered on abuse, and was willing to engage in [[spoiler: human experimentation]] and to accept the help of brutal and shady people to achieve this end. [[spoiler:Subverted, as he was actually an AntiVillain all along, though if he really is BackFromTheDead, then he's become something far, '''far''' more despicable.]]

** Subverted in regards to [[spoiler:his true goal, the internal sabotage only caused his goal of the bringing forth the Lostbelts to be delayed by a year, and Kirschtaria's remote attack actually only served to help him out by protecting CHALDEAS with a dense layer of ice. That being said, it is played straight with Lev throwing Olga Marie into CHALDEAS itself, as it was the one thing that he did not posthumously expect.]]

* JadedWashout: In non-''Grand Order'' timelines Marisbury ends up as this because [[spoiler:the corruption of the Fuyuki Holy Grail]] prevents him from completing CHALDEAS. He's still a Lord of a Clock Tower which is a very prestigious position, but it's clear he isn't accomplishing what he really wants to do, and spends his days cooped up in his house and sending Olga Marie out in his place whenever there's something that requires his attention.

** She's born to a father who couldn't care less about her and is thrown away like trash once he learns she has no Master or Rayshifting attitude to help the Animusphere cause. Worse yet, she's forced to watch him lavish attention on the heir he really wants from afar.

* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: [[spoiler:He mentions it's a bit rich coming from him before declaring that he will consider Chaldea an enemy if they destroy all seven Lostbelts, further implying he's Goetia.]]

[[spoiler:Subverted, as he was actually an AntiVillain all along.]]

* GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler:CHALDEAS wouldn't even exist to bleach the world and create the Lostbelts if not for Marisbury bringing it to life all those years ago in order to do just that.]]

* {{Workaholic}}: [[InformedFlaw Despite his prior reputation as a bit of a slacker]], Roman works himself to the bone as Chaldea's director to the point that he starts substituting self-prescribed stimulants for sleep. The rest of Chaldea becomes increasingly concerned that he might work himself to death, not helped whatsoever by the fact that even someone as awesome as Gilgamesh actually ''does'' overwork himself to literal death during the Seventh Singularity.

* ForWantOfANail: [[spoiler:He's connected to the divergent AlternateTimeline of ''FGO'', having been the winner of the 2004 Fuyuki Holy Grail War. ''Lord El-Melloi II Case Files'' reveals that in the ''FSN'' timeline, he discovered the Grail's corruption and decided not to pursue it. In the ''FGO'' timeline, the Grail had never been used before, therefore wasn't corrupted, therefore was safer to use.]]

* {{Workaholic}}: [[InformedFlaw Despite his prior reputation as a bit of a slacker]], Roman works himself to the bone as Chaldea's director to the point that he starts substituting self-prescribed stimulants for sleep. The rest of Chaldea becomes increasingly concerned that he might literally work himself to death.

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:She's gunned down without mercy by Emiya Alter once he sides with Sesshouin. However, she turns out to have been Sesshouin herself in disguise the whole time, with Tamamo Cat seeing right through her once she ''miraculously'' reappears.]]

* FantasticRacism: Of a sort. She's incredibly uncomfortable around Alter Egos, though that's in part because she watched them slaughter a great many of her colleagues and friends.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Mentions having some bad memories of Seraphix's church. [[spoiler:This was Sesshouin's former workplace, and where she hid after her corruption by Zepar reached a breaking point.]]

* MaamShock: She has a bit of a breakdown when Gawain refers to her as "ma'am", yelling that she's "only" 28 and briefly forgetting she was running for her life from Passionlip.

* BadBoss: [[spoiler:It's implied that Marisbury intended to use the Crypters as bullets to resolve the Singularities with the Sirius Lights as the gun, with one Crypter per Singularity. Daybit later confirms this and reveals that if a Crypter failed to resolve a Singularity, Beryl was assigned to forcibly activate their Sirius Light and blow up the whole Singularity.]]

[[folder:The Record-Keeper ('''Unmarked Spoilers''')]]
!! Cerejeira Elron

* TheArchmage: Whoever he is, he's an incredibly powerful mage, able to cast powerful Bounded Fields on the human villages of the Nordic Lostbelt comparable to that of Scathach-Skadi's own (and repair the damage Napoleon and Chaldea caused to the originals) and able to drive away an attack from giants at least on one occasion. [[spoiler:When he praises Morgan on how she has managed to use the Tree of Emptiness to her own benefit and integrating the Servant summoning system to be part of the Lostbelt, Morgan feels like he is mocking her, suggesting that he would do all of that and then more]]. Given he has a connection to [[spoiler: Roman (aka Solomon) and (seemingly) Goetia]], his skills in Magecraft being so vast isn't out of character.

* EvilVersusOblivion: Opines that oblivion is preferable to the Foreign God's plans, [[spoiler:which is taken to the point that he'd rather let Cernunnos or Oberon Vortigern destroy the planet if it would prevent her from accomplishing her goals.]]
* ExactWords: He declares that he will see Chaldea as an enemy if they can successfully excise the final Lostbelt out of existence. It seems as if he's referring to opposing them, [[spoiler:but he purposely omitted that Chaldea will need to oppose CHALDEAS. By destroying all seven Lostbelts, Romani Archaman can acknowledge that Novum Chaldea can destroy Marisbury Animusphere's Grand Order as one of Marisbury's enemies.]]

* AllTheOtherReindeer: In his rant in the Lostbelt prologue, he states that despite his best efforts everyone hated him and avoided him.

* TheCameo: She does show up in episode 14 of ''Webcomic/RitsukaFujimaruDoesntGetIt'', specifically stated to be in the Lostbelts.

* SuddenlyVoiced: She was unvoiced in any promotional material or script readings until episode 16 of ''Webcomic/RitsukaFujimaruDoesntGetIt'' in 2023, five years after her debut.

* MirrorCharacter: To Olga Marie. They're both mages who show a large amount of pride in their abilities and the history of their families while coming across as insensitive to others, but deep down they're deeply insecure about how for all their talk they haven't really amounted to much of anything for themselves and fear the idea of being regarded as failures by others. To drive it home, [[spoiler:when Goredolf is cornered by the Oprichnik and facing death he starts bitterly yet panickily blabbering about how he doesn't want to die without ''someone'' acknowledging him, almost word-for-word Olga Marie's own last words as she was betrayed by Lev and dragged into CHALDEAS, a similarity that galvanizes both Mash and the protagonist to go back for him, determined to not let history repeat.]]

* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Goredolf spends a lot of time self-aggrandizing, saying how he'll lead Chaldea to fame and fortune, but his rant near the end of the prologue shows that underneath it all, he feels he's something of a failure who's hated by everyone else and he saw Chaldea as his final shot to be successful in life.

** When all other measures fail, he [[spoiler:offers FoodAsBribe to Caenis in the form of his fluffy croissants. It works, because, knowingly or unknowingly, he invokes this on a Greek servant, getting her to listen to the rest of his pleas.]]

** In the "Chaldea Summer Adventure" event, he winds up as the TeamChef on the expedition because of his cooking expertise. Several scenes are devoted to the heroes enjoying the broad array of dishes he prepares, from English breakfasts to curry. He also instinctively swipes the octopus legs that Okita Alter is roasting over a fire to do it properly.

* FoodAsBribe: He is really confident on his cooking skills where he believes he can convince anyone who can be reasoned with with his cooking, was it interrogating Kadoc with carbonara or getting Scáthach-Skadi to trust Chaldea with some bacon and eggs. [[spoiler:After he secretly saved Caenis, she threatened to kill the Chaldea crew, though she gave him a chance to be spared if he convinced her enough. He ran out of things to convince her until out of desperation, he attempted to bribe her with soft and fluffy croissants. It worked, if only because she is Greek and he unknowingly invoked SacredHospitality.]]

* UpbringingMakesTheHero: His childhood raised by and losing the [[WeAreAsMayflies short-lived]] homunculi taught [[AFatherToHisMen Goredolf to genuinely care about the well-being of his subordinates]], a sharp contrast to most of his Clock Tower peers.

* AmbiguouslyEvil: He was the man who founded Chaldea, but as time goes on it's become more and more noticible that Marisbury had his hand in some moraly bankrupt dealings like the creation of Seraphix and the hiring of Beryl even after [[spoiler:he tortured Mash]] brings how good he actually was into question. Especially since there's some hints that [[spoiler:he knew about the Lostbelts and was preparing the Crypters for them.]] By the end of [[spoiler:the seventh Lostbelt, all ambiguity is gone, being the real force behind the Lostbelts.]]
* AntiHero: Marisbury was a man who spent his entire life, and the entirety of ''two'' vast fortunes, one attained supernaturally, working to save humanity while immune to temptations to use his resources selfishly. And he was no [[ArmchairMilitary Armchair General]]; he earned the second fortune by [[spoiler:battling through the risk and death of a Grail War]], and his alliance with the Atlas Institute to obtain the necessary technology he required had him willing to share the secrets of the Animusphere family with outsiders, a taboo act that could have resulted in them being wiped out by the other Lords of Clock Tower had they discovered it. He was also a cold and ruthless man with few morals or scruples, a father whose neglect towards his daughter bordered on abuse, and was willing to engage in [[spoiler: human experimentation]] and accept the help of brutal and shady people to achieve this end.

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Flashbacks in the Final Singularity show him as something of a LargeHam, but his later portrayals from Babylonia adaptation onwards shows him to be [[DissonantSerenity soft-spoken with a slight smile on his face no matter the situation]], making him come across as robotic.

* AloofAlly: During her focus chapter in ''Ordeal Call 1 - Paper Moon'', we learn that Sion is ''intentionally'' trying to be this. Despite Chaldea's insistence to save the world and get everyone through this adventure alive, Sion's Alter Ego shows that she is much more cold and calculating beneath the surface and does not expect the happy ending they're working towards, so she buries her desire to truly fight alongside Chaldea because she doesn't want to get too attached when they inevitably die. She even went so far as to let her Alter Ego stay behind in the fading Paper Moon Singularity so that adventure wouldn't change her mind -- which makes it suitably ironic that [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Sion's Thought Partitioning ensures she's the ONLY one who remembers the Singularity, so she may be becoming less aloof than she wanted to be]].

* {{Goth}}: Of the "Dark Girly" variant. She sticks to the Chaldea Uniform while on the clock; but her clothing choices on her own time is black apparel and includes keys and skullrings; though she wears suits and pants instead of dresses.
