** At the end of his segment, Lancelot sees Altria Pendragon as a benevolent but utterly inhuman entity embodying the concept of an "ideal king", despite having lashed out at Tristen and the other knights for seeing Altria as such. Kay's segment also comments how the knights have come to fear King Arthur is an inhuman entity, and that only he can see the stress his foster sister has been under since their childhood, striving to embody the impossible role of the ideal king foisted upon her by Uther and Merlin.

* TheAgeless: Kay's segment reveals that Altria stopped aging when she drew Caliburn from the stone at age fifteen, which both Kay and Lancelot note was a mixed blessing. On the one hand, Altria was able to easily pass herself off as an androgynous teenage boy, which led to her enemies and even her allies underestimating her on the battlefield. On the other hand, after ten-to-twenty years of her not visibly aging most of her knights grew to fear she was something other than human, with Kay in particular lamenting that the moment Altria falters or shows any sign of weakness her "loyal" subjects will turn on her and Britain will devolve into anarchy and civil war.

* TheSleepless: According to Kay, when they were teenagers Altria revealed she only getting three hours of sleep each day, and he later learned that Merlin had been training her in her dreams -- meaning she wasn't really getting any sleep at all. This led Kay to hold a grudge against the half-demon sorcerer, blaming him for instilling Altria's self-destructive tendencies.

* TheWorfEffect: This happens to Gawain during the fight with Vortigern, despite being the focal perspective for the chapter concerning the fight, as he's immediately taken out in the start of the fight in the same opening move that decimates the army Altria brought with them though he survives what would have been ordinarily a OneHitKill (as it was for the army of ordinary humans they brought with them) for instead a OneHitKO due to his legendary endurance. He ''[[DownplayedTrope does]]'' eventually get back up however, and makes it count by helping Altria land the finishing blow on Vortigern.

* RelatedInTheAdaptation: Vortigern is Uther Pendragon's brother here. In the original legends, Vortigern was the archenemy of Uther who had no relation to him whatsoever.

This could be justified as Vortigern is simply a title meant to emphasize [[GaiasVengeance the Will of Britain]] made manifest as ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' retroactively explained, and it could be possible that Vortigern is actually Aurelius Ambrosius—Uther's eldest brother and his only other surviving sibling after Constans II died in battle with Gaul—as it is in the myths, making him potentially a CompositeCharacter as well.

* OmnicidalManiac: Downplayed, but what Vortigern actually is during his terrible reign despite [[WellIntentionedExtremist his protests]] as Vortigern's pursuit to preserve the Age of Fairies and hopefully even steer back into a full-fledged revival of the Age of Gods practically ''requires'' a culling of mankind on a massive scale to curb their ambitions to prevent the coming Age of Man — naturally, [[ForegoneConclusion he fails of course]] thanks to Altria's actions in ending his rule.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Vortigern's [[OmnicidalManiac rampage]], especially in ruining most of the British countryside thanks [[OneWingedAngel to his transformation into an enormous dragon]], causes ''massive'' logistical and environmental problems for the kingdom of Camelot in the aftermath that doesn't just go away immediately after eliminating him as a problem, which stretches Altria's forces pretty thin as tensions rise within the Round Table in attempting to resolve them; inevitably leading to Lancelot and Mordred's respective betrayals and both the collapse of the kingdom and death of Altria.
