| 15 | !!Rohngall |
| 16 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rohngall.PNG]] |
| 17 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ShunsukeSakuya (Japanese), David W. Collins (English) |
| 18 | A professor who was sent to observe Snowfield with Faldeus. |
| 19 | ---- |
| 20 | * ActuallyADoombot: Faldeus betrays and snipes him, only for it to be a puppet body. Faldeus knew this and wanted him to send a message to the Clock Tower that the Snowfield Holy Grail War had begun. |
| 21 | * GracefulLoser: While he is a traditional magus, he begrudgingly admits science surpasses magecraft in some areas. He uses binoculars and admits they are superior to using a {{Familiar}} as a scout. |
| 22 | * HopelessWithTech: While he is more accepting of technology than most traditional Mages, he still isn't an expert. For example, he thinks the social network is a field of Magecraft and doesn't get that e-mail isn't a paper letter. |
| 23 | * MarionetteMaster: Can create and control puppets with magecraft. |
| 24 | * RemoteBody: Often uses their puppets this way. |

| 28 | !!Lord El-Melloi II (Waver Velvet) |
| 29 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/waver.png]] |
| 30 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DaisukeNamikawa (Japanese), Creator/LucienDodge (English) |
| 31 | A professor and one of the twelve Lords of the Clock Tower. Flatt Escardos is one of his students. |
| 32 | ---- |
| 33 | * AngerBornOfWorry: This seems to be his usual attitude toward Flat. Whenever the kid does something stupid, El-Melloi II is ''furious'', but it's entirely because he wants Flat to be safe. |
| 34 | * AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Flat may annoy the hell out of him, but El-Melloi II was nonetheless about to let Flat use [[MementoMacGuffin the scrap of Iskandar's mantle]] as his summoning catalyst before Flat ran off to America with the fake knife. The moment he manages to make contact with Flat, he launches into a two-hour long tirade berating his student for doing something as absolutely, mind-numbingly stupid as joining the Holy Grail War. At the end, he pauses for breath and asks to talk to his Servant, politely requesting them to keep Flat safe. |
| 35 | * BigGood: Serves as this, as he is one of the Clock Tower's more politically powerful figures and the only one who gives a damn about the moral consequences of the False Grail War. |
| 36 | * BlankWhiteEyes: A feature of the terrifying enraged faces he tends to make at Flat in the manga. |
| 37 | * ClarkesThirdLaw: One of the reasons El-Melloi II has managed to become a well-respected mage despite being flat-out terrible at magic is that, because mage society is so insular and technophobic, many other magi assume that his above average competence with computers and smartphones is literal magecraft. |
| 38 | * CloudCuckoolandersMinder: Has been assigned as Flat's teacher primarily because [[KickedUpstairs no one else wanted to deal with him]]. |
| 39 | * EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: The title of Lord El-Melloi II has officially taken the place of his real name. El Melloi II even goes as far as to introduce himself as someone who ''used to be'' named Waver Velvet. |
| 40 | * HeroOfAnotherStory: Lord El-Melloi II is one of the most recurring characters of the Franchise/{{Nasuverse}} and serves as a protagonist in both ''Literature/FateZero'' and ''Literature/LordElMelloiIICaseFiles'', and a Pseudo-Servant in ''Fate/Grand Order'', as well as TheCameo in the anime version of ''Literature/FateApocrypha.'' Flat even likes to refer to his past cases with convoluted LightNovel titles he made up himself [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall as if El-Melloi II were literally the protagonist of a mystery book series.]] |
| 41 | * HotTeacher: "Professor Charisma" is apparently very popular with his female students; they even voted him the number one man they'd like to sleep with. |
| 42 | * HumbleHero: He is outright annoyed with the prestige and popularity he has gained as Lord El-Melloi II. |
| 43 | * HyperAwareness: He is generally a lot more perceptive and observant than most magi. [[spoiler:He even immediately deduced that Flat was using magecraft to fake smiles because the associated muscle groups moved in the wrong order.]] |
| 44 | * IHaveManyNames: Has a tendency to pick up nicknames, the sillier of them (such as Big Ben London Star) started by Flat. |
| 45 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He may be a sour, irritable man, but El-Melloi II is a rare man with a conscience in what is basically a society of sociopaths and one of the few professors of the Clock Tower who actually ''care'' about their students as people. [[spoiler:He even saved Flat from crossing the DespairEventHorizon because of his steadfast refusal to give up on him where every professor before him had.]] |
| 46 | * KingmakerScenario: He is not a strong magus, but has an amazing ability to improve other magi. Many of his students have jumped up in magus ranking, something almost unheard of in an age of decaying magic. |
| 47 | * LivingEmotionalCrutch: [[spoiler:Volume 4 reveals he's one keeping Flat stable mentally and emotionally. Heck, it's more than just a crutch-thing, it's a map and compass too.]] |
| 48 | * LockedOutOfTheLoop: [[spoiler:Hishiri and Goredolf are keeping him in house arrest by Reines' request so that he doesn't learn that his entire class are taking part in the Holy Grail War as Hippolyta's Master.]] |
| 49 | * MoralityChain: [[spoiler:Flat admits in Volume 4 that what [[BlueAndOrangeMorality moral compass he has]] was basically lifted wholesale from El-Melloi II. Rather than doing something heroically selfless because he feels it's the right thing to do, Flat does it because [[WhatWouldXDo it's something El-Melloi II would]], and going against that would be a complete betrayal of his professor's trust.]] |
| 50 | * TheMourningAfter: Even over a decade after the fact, El-Melloi II is still very much not over losing Iskandar. |
| 51 | * ObliviousToHisOwnDescription: When he's discussing the different factions joining the War, he mentions that at least one is "looking down" upon it, treating it like a game or a show. It takes him until someone mentions his foresight in sending one of his students to participate that he realizes it's his own student. |
| 52 | * OhCrap: |
| 53 | ** Rohngall and his apprentice visit him to get his honest opinion on the War. After a bit of exposition, the apprentice notes how impressive it was that El-Melloi managed to send one of his students to participate. He stops for a second until he realizes they're talking about Flat. [[spoiler: Subverted that the student they thought they saw was actually Ayaka Sajyou, but it was subverted yet again since it was a [[IdenticalStranger different Ayaka Sajyou who just looks like her and has the same name]].]] |
| 54 | ** When he finds out that [[spoiler:Gilgamesh is in the same Holy Grail War as Flat, recalling his own near-death experience with the King of Heroes.]] |
| 55 | * OnlySaneMan: Apart from being Flat's straight man, El-Melloi II is one of the few magi who bother to keep up with mundane technology and is quite annoyed at being [[SurroundedByIdiots surrounded by a bunch of clueless luddites]]. |
| 56 | * ParentalSubstitute: As Flat was sent to the Clock Tower as a socially acceptable way for his parents to abandon him, El-Melloi II is effectively his legal guardian on top of being his teacher. |
| 57 | * PrecisionFStrike: Whenever something goes really, ''really'' wrong. Unsurprisingly, Flat is often behind this, whether it's spying on a high-level Clock Tower assembly by hacking into the protective bounded fields or running off to Snowfield to join the Holy Grail War. |
| 58 | %%%%* SherlockScan: Manages to do this over the phone. |
| 59 | * SophisticatedAsHell: Lord El Melloi II is a sophisticated British lord who will, in times of duress, punctuate his speech with {{Cluster F Bomb}}s. |
| 60 | * StraightMan: His comedy comes from reacting to Flat's shenanigans. |
| 61 | %%* TallDarkAndSnarky |
| 62 | * WeakButSkilled: Has very little magical talent, and instead got where he is thanks to observational skills and outside the box thinking that made him an amazing coach for budding magi. |

| 66 | [[folder:Delmio Cervantes]] |
| 67 | !!Delmio Cervantes |
| 68 | A priest stationed in Las Vegas. The foster father of Hansa. |
| 69 | ---- |
| 70 | * AbnormalAmmo: He uses coins as projectile weapons by flicking them at incredible speed. |
| 71 | * MoneyMauling: He can flick [[AbnormalAmmo coins]] lethally. |

| 76 | [[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hansa_9.png]] |
| 77 | [[caption-width-right:225:He kicks ass for the Lord.]] |
| 78 | |
| 79 | An Executor of the Holy Church. While the Church was not invited to oversee the False Holy Grail War, they sent a priest anyways. |
| 80 | ---- |
| 81 | * BadassPreacher: He's a member of the Catholic Church's Executor Squad. |
| 82 | * BerserkButton: The Burial Agency, for which he has a great deal of respect. When Jester stated that he thinks that someone of his caliber is part of the Burial Agency, he suddenly snaps and becomes incredibly angry, claiming that the members of the Agency are all so far above him, that even the idea of him being able to compare with them is a huge insult. |
| 83 | * {{Cyborg}}: Although it's not obvious, most of his body has been cybernetically enhanced. When confronting Karture, he states that around seventy percent of his body is actually sanctified robotics specializing in combat against Dead Apostles. |
| 84 | * DashingHispanic: He's described as giving the impression of being a Spanish film actor instead of a priest. |
| 85 | * DoomedHometown: Hansa came from a small village in Spain that was devastated by Dead Apostles. |
| 86 | * EyepatchOfPower: Has one over his right eye. |
| 87 | * TheGadfly: Hansa enjoys annoying people, whether they be his superiors in the Church or murderous vampires. |
| 88 | * HolyHandGrenade: He literally has a ''holy hand grenade launcher'' in his chest cavity. |
| 89 | * InconsistentSpelling: His name can be spelled as Hansa, Hanza, or Hanzo. Considering his origin, Hansa is most likely the intended spelling. |
| 90 | * ItsPersonal: Subverted. Despite being an [[VampireHunter Executioner]] whose village was destroyed by Dead Apostles, Hansa doesn't actually have much against them and is perfectly happy to leave them alone [[VegetarianVampire if they keep a low profile]]. |
| 91 | * TheSnackIsMoreInteresting: Cheerfully ignores False Assassin's attack on Snowfield PD and goes straight for the coffee. |
| 92 | * TeamSwitzerland: As an overseer, Hansa doesn't have much stake in the war other than to make sure it doesn't get too out of hand. |
| 93 | * VampireHunter: Like other Executioners, Hansa specializes in hunting down and killing [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Dead Apostles.]] |

| 102 | ---- |
| 103 | * AmazonBrigade: They are four female Executors. |

| 106 | !!Snowfield Police Force |
| 107 | [[folder:Clan Calatin (Snowfield P.D.)]] |
| 108 | !!Clan Calatin |
| 109 | |
| 110 | A group of specialized police officers under the command of Orlando Reeve. |
| 111 | ---- |
| 112 | * BadassArmy: What they were intended to be. |
| 113 | ** RedshirtArmy: How they actually turned out. Despite being equipped with imitation Noble Phantasms, they're still just humans trying to take down the superhuman Servants. |
| 114 | * DreamingOfTimesGoneBy: Despite False Caster not being their Servant, they are linked to him nonetheless due to the procedure of wielding his fake Noble Phantasms, which makes them able to dream of his past like any other Master would. |
| 115 | * EmpoweredBadassNormal: They're entirely human police officers outfitted with pseudo-Noble Phantasms. |
| 116 | * MookHorrorShow: Despite Reeve's belief that they could stand up to Gilgamesh, they can't even realistically repel the Beautiful Assassin or even her Master. Granted, he's a Dead Apostle... not that it makes it any better. |
| 117 | ** Though to be fair, Beautiful Assassin has been stated to be an exception among Assassin class servants, having a huge number of skills, each comparable to a noble phantasm, and her master being a Dead Apostle gave him a massive type advantage. Hansa even defends them by stating that their defeat wasn't because they were weak, but due a stroke of bad luck. |
| 118 | * NominalImportance: Only a few members have their name known. |
| 119 | * ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: Named for the Calatin Clan that fought Cu Chulainn. |
| 120 | * SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: No matter how powerful your Noble Phantasms are, they aren't much use if you don't have the skill, knowledge or experience to use them properly. Against a Servant who knows fighting inside and out, they are but children armed with weapons too good for the likes of them. |
| 121 | * UnskilledButStrong: Jester claims that for all their power, most of the members are lacking in experience and haven't even been able to properly utilize their Noble Phantasms. Though he claims that should they acquire more experience and have more members, they might be able to reach a level where they could challenge even the knight classes themselves. |
| 122 | |
| 123 | !!!John Wingard |
| 124 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/john_wingard.PNG]] |

| 126 | A young police officer. |
| 127 | ---- |
| 128 | * AnArmAndALeg: Lost his right hand in Jester's attack on the police station. |
| 129 | * ArtificialLimbs: Gains a prosthetic hand from Caster Dumas. |
| 130 | * HeroicVow: [[spoiler:He vows to protect Tsubaki from True Archer. He gets some pity for his convictions and is unceremoniously swatted away.]] |
| 131 | * LockedOutOfTheLoop: His father was a magus and never told him or his mother. It wasn't until he joined Orlando's police force that his potential was detected and he was finally given training in magecraft. He was completely shocked to learn the supernatural exists. |
| 132 | * MissingMom: His mother was a police officer who was killed in the line of duty. |
| 133 | * NeckSnap: [[spoiler:True Archer hits him with his bow, launching him into a building with a broken neck.]] |
| 134 | * NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:To his own surprise, his NeckSnap doesn't kill him, apparently due to the influence of False Caster's Musketeers' Masquerade.]] |
| 135 | * PoisonedWeapons: [[spoiler:His prosthetic hand has a built-in dagger coated in Hydra venom.]] |
| 136 | * TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:After False Caster revives and empowers him, he becomes strong and fast enough to knock down True Archer and hurt him with punches and kicks.]] |
| 137 | * YouKilledMyFather: It's eventually revealed that his mother died [[spoiler:in the same plane Kiritsugu shot down to prevent an infestation of ghouls (courtesy of Odd Borzark, the grandfather of another participant in the Snowfield Holy Grail War)]]. |

| 142 | |
| 143 | Orlando's secretary and Dr. Amelia Levitt's sister. |
| 144 | ---- |
| 145 | * NumberTwo: As Orlando's secretary, she is fully aware of the False Holy Grail War and the Magical Community as a whole. |
| 146 | * YoungestChildWins: Amelia is her older sister, but Vera became the heir to their family's magecraft because Amelia is a MuggleBornOfMages. |

| 152 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/saint_germain_2.png]] |
| 153 | |
| 154 | The legendary Count said to be master of ancient, forgotten wisdom and a famed alchemist, occultist, and time traveler. He encountered [[spoiler:King Richard]] when he was alive. |
| 155 | ----- |
| 156 | * BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy: The historical UsefulNotes/CountSaintGermain was the subject of wild speculation thanks to his MysteriousPast, and has been hypothesized to be anything from the Wandering Jew to a [[UsefulNotes/TheosophicalSociety theosophical Ascended Master]]. Here, he's implied to be a {{Time Travel}}er with a machine quite similar to [[Franchise/BackToTheFuture Doc Brown's DeLorean]]. |
| 157 | * TheConsigliere: Served as this to [[spoiler:Richard the Lionheart]]. |
| 158 | * ConsummateLiar: One of the things he proclaims [[spoiler:to Richard]] is that he's ''not'' a time traveler, despite having been born hundreds of years after him. |
| 159 | * CourtMage: While not ''officially'' a court mage, [[spoiler:Richard the Lionheart]] basically appoints him as his own personal Merlin. |
| 160 | * MythologyGag: [[spoiler:When trying to guess who could be watching him, he surmises it could be [[Anime/FatePrototype an evil but innocent magus]], [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight An ordinary person who got caught up in something]], [[VideoGame/FateExtraCCC an artificial intelligence]], [[Literature/LordElMelloiIICaseFiles a Clock Tower Lord]], an Asian magecraft society, or [[VideoGame/FateGrandOrder humanity's final hope walking on a scorching or bleached planet]] before he finally realizes it's Ayaka.]] |
| 161 | * SupernaturalSensitivity: [[spoiler:When Ayaka sees him through Saber's memories via their link, Saint Germain somehow knows who she is and how she's watching.]] |
| 162 | * TimeTravel: Met [[spoiler:Richard and Alexander the Great]] when he was alive. |
| 163 | * TricksterMentor: Saint Germain readily admits that he intends to trick [[spoiler:Richard the Lionheart]]--or rather that he is going to assist in [[spoiler:Richard]] fooling ''himself''--in order to aid him the "grand fraud" of making him into a legend. |
| 164 | * WhatTheHellHero: [[spoiler:Richard]] recalls receiving one from him after what's implied to be the [[spoiler:Massacre at Ayyadieh]]. |

| 169 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Wataru Tsuyuzaki (Japanese), Creator/YongYea (English) |
| 170 | |
| 171 | The unnamed master of Archer in the False Holy Grail War before Tine Chelc kills him to take over the contract. |
| 172 | ---- |
| 173 | * AnArmAndALeg: Tine blasts off his right hand to claim his Command Seals. |
| 174 | * AssholeVictim: He killed his own son and wife and acted like a total jerk to Gilgamesh after summoning him. Nobody is going to miss him. |
| 175 | * BlueBlood: His family is not insignificant in the Mage Association. However, he is a member of a lineage that has started to stagnate. |
| 176 | * BullyingADragon: Despite knowing who Gilgamesh is, he tries to boss him around and tells him he is nothing but his tool. Small wonder Gilgamesh didn't lift a finger to save him when Tine was killing him. |
| 177 | * ItIsDehumanizing: While discussing his research on Gilgamesh's previous appearances in the Fourth and Fifth Holy Grail Wars, he calls Gilgamesh "it". |
| 178 | * ItsAllAboutMe: Just as arrogant as the Servant he called, and with far less reason. Part of the reason he died was that he didn't acknowledge Gilgamesh as anything other than a simple familiar at his beck and call. |
| 179 | * LackOfEmpathy: Once he realized his child had less magical potential than he did, he killed him. He also killed his wife for trying to stop him. Because, according to him, they had "no future as Magi", he feels no guilt over this. |
| 180 | * LastOfHisKind: Killed his only successor, and his death by Tine means that his lineage dies with him. |
| 181 | * LetThemDieHappy: His dying thoughts are that his lineage will live on even should he perish. Inverted [[OhCrap as he remembered]] [[LastOfHisKind he killed his only successor.]] |
| 182 | * LightEmUp: His preferred method of attack. He uses a spell that gathers all of his energy into a sphere of black light that can be fired at an enemy. |
| 183 | * NoNameGiven: We never find out his identity. Not that anyone cares about him. |
| 184 | * PaterFamilicide: He killed his son because he considered him a failure as a Magus, and his wife for trying to stop him. |
| 185 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Sees his wife (and all women in general) as {{Baby Factor|y}}ies to produce him an heir. He admits to not regretting killing his wife as their first born was an IneptMage and would have married another woman from a more powerful family if he had the political pull to. |
| 186 | * SelfFulfillingProphecy: He was desperate to prevent his family from becoming a disgraced Magi family, like the Matous. He ultimately destroys any chance to recover their former glory after killing his son for being an IneptMage. |
| 187 | * WeHardlyKnewYe: Killed off in the same chapter he was introduced in. |
| 188 | * TheWorfEffect: Described as powerful but is instantly upstaged by his replacement. |

| 196 | An Einzbern Homunculus working behind the scenes in Snowfield's Holy Grail War. She gave Ayaka Command Seals and ordered her to travel to Snowfield for reasons unknown. |
| 197 | |
| 198 | She travels to the city herself, but through means unknown, ends up becoming the vessel for another entity: the Sumerian goddess Ishtar, hellbent on taking revenge on Gilgamesh and Enkidu. |
| 199 | ---- |
| 200 | * AdaptationalJerkass: [[spoiler:Forget everything you knew about the lovable goofball Ishtar from ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' that had aspects of [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Tohsaka Rin]]'s personality. This time Ishtar is possessing an EmptyShell, so she has nothing resembling human morality to temper her negative traits.]] |
| 201 | * ApathyKilledTheCat: [[spoiler:Ishtar is uninterested in learning about Filia's past.]] |
| 202 | * ArcVillain: [[spoiler:Once the story's climax kicks off, Ishtar takes center-stage with her minions in the last portion of Volume 7, becoming the main antagonistic force of Volume 8, causing almost all other factions to unite against her. As such, she is also defeated in that same volume.]] |
| 203 | * ArtificialHuman: As an Einzbern homunculus. |
| 204 | * AscendedExtra: Fillia is revealed to actually be a CanonCharacterAllAlong, albeit a fairly obscure one: she is [[spoiler:a reference to ''VisualNovel/FateHollowAtaraxia'', an element of [[VisualNovel/FateHollowAtaraxia Seal Designation Enforcer Bazett Fraga McRemitz]]'s backstory, who offhandedly mentions having once been dispatched to retrieve an escaped Einzbern homunculus and the homunculus being hard to defeat]]. It's these events that allowed Fillia to be spared from the shutdown of the Einzberns and made her suitable to become Snowfield's Lesser Grail. |
| 205 | * BigBadWannabe: [[spoiler:Despite being a massive SpannerInTheWorks for a lot of the malicious and manipulative parties instigating the Holy Grail War, especially Francesca, Ishtar is actually disposed of fairly early due to a massive EnemyMine situation forming between Faldeus, True Assassin, Sigma, No-Name Assassin, the El-Melloi Classroom, and Enkidu to ensure she is put down before she can cause even more damage than she's already done.]] |
| 206 | * CharmPerson: Her "Manifestation of Beauty" skill makes her so lovely that she can "charm" inanimate objects, such as [[spoiler:disabling missiles by charming the gunpowder, making it unwilling to ''bond with oxygen and detonate the bomb'']]. |
| 207 | * DarkerAndEdgier: [[spoiler:Ishtar in ''Fate/Grand Order'' is LighterAndSofter because of Rin's influence. Without it she's back to her true nastier personality. Particularly, she sees no issue with summoning Gugalanna to attack Gilgamesh and Enkidu. Unfortunately for everyone else, the divine bull's full glory is on par with a raging ''hurricane'' - headed straight for Snowfield. Even more unfortunately, she pulls Gugalanna from "a world not connected to anything" - which turns out to be ''[[VideoGame/FateGrandOrder the Babylonia Singularity]]'', which is why that world's Ishtar somehow lost Gugalanna and cost many, many lives that could've been otherwise saved.]] |
| 208 | * DiabolusExMachina: [[spoiler:Is revealed to be this a form of this to Gilgamesh and Enkidu should they ever reunite, as the original Ishtar left a sort of [[PiecesOfGod blessing/curse]] on the Earth to create [[VillainousLegacy an incarnation of herself to deliberately torment them out of her sheer spite]] towards them both.]] |
| 209 | * EmptyShell: She's described to be one, [[spoiler:making her the perfect vessel for Ishtar; unlike her ''Fate/Grand Order'' version, she won't be influenced by any external factors from Filia.]] |
| 210 | * GoOutWithASmile: Dies with one, even explaining why to Enkidu |
| 211 | -->'''Filia''': The one who ultimately shot me down... was human. It wasn’t you and it wasn’t Ereshkigal. I was felled by human hands rejecting my new divine era. |
| 212 | -->'''Enkidu''': Why do you sound so happy saying that? |
| 213 | -->'''Filia''': It’s not about just me... Humanity doesn’t need you or Gilgamesh anymore... They proved they reached the age where they can walk on their own feet... It’s frustrating, sure... but it’s far more gratifying. Not that a... piece of junk like you... would understand it... |
| 214 | * GrandTheftMe: [[spoiler:Ishtar's borrowing her body to attack Gilgamesh and Enkidu.]] |
| 215 | * HealingHands: Casually heals Haruri's grievous injuries. |
| 216 | * ICantSenseTheirPresence: She is able to "contract" her aura around her, allowing her to fight and use major spells without others being able to detect her. |
| 217 | * InconsistentSpelling: Phonetically speaking, her name could be either '''F'''ilia or '''Ph'''ilia. |
| 218 | * ItIsDehumanizing: She repeatedly refers to Enkidu as a piece of junk. |
| 219 | * MysticalWhiteHair: Like all Einzbern homunculi. |
| 220 | * PetTheDog: She heals Haruri's injuries and hangs out with her, and offers to take True Berserker to a real forest. Her biggest moment however is giving Haruri a CooldownHug after reassuring her that she has worth, or else she wouldn't have chosen her to be her priestess. |
| 221 | * PiecesOfGod: [[spoiler:True Archer calls her a goddess before correcting himself and saying she's more of a "broken goddess' data". It's later explained that she is a lingering "blessing" Ishtar left in the world, making it so that she would appear if Gilgamesh and Enkidu ever met each other again.]] |
| 222 | * SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler: Ishtar's possession of Filia threw a wrench on Francesca's plans to use her as the vessel for the Lesser Grail.]] |
| 223 | * WomanScorned: [[spoiler:Ishtar wants revenge against "those two ingrates" - Gilgamesh and Enkidu - and is perfectly willing to throw Gugalanna at Snowfield if it means they will be caught in the monster's fury. Taken up to eleven, when she reveals that she put a "curse" on Proper Human History, so that in the ''extremely'' unlikely event Gilgamesh and Enkidu were summoned together in a Holy Grail War in ''any timeline'', she'll manifest there as well.]] |

| 229 | |
| 230 | A mage who was the one who originally summoned Saber. During the summoning, he captured Ayaka and planned to use her to test if his Servant would be willing to kill a defenseless person, but was killed by False Assassin, allowing Ayaka to become Saber's Master instead. |
| 231 | ---- |
| 232 | * AssholeVictim: Was going to kill Ayaka either way even if his Servant would not obey the order he would give them to kill her. |
| 233 | * OnlyInItForTheMoney: Says he doesn't really care about the Grail War and was only joining because Francesca offered him a lot of money. |
| 234 | * WeHardlyKnewYe: Gets killed as he was summoning Saber. |

| 240 | |
| 241 | Tsubaki's doctor and Vera Levitt's sister. |
| 242 | ---- |
| 243 | * EntertaininglyWrong: When she finds the Command Seals on Tsubaki's hand, she assumes some jerk snuck in and tattooed her hand. |
| 244 | * GoodCannotComprehendEvil: Stares in disbelief when Tsubaki's parents all but start leaping with joy at the revelation that their daughter will continue developing normally even if she never wakes up from her meningitis. She mistakes it as extremely poorly channeled grief and resolves to direct them to a psychologist, not knowing they were the ones to infect her in the first place with that exact goal in mind. |
| 245 | * LockedOutOfTheLoop: Doesn't know anything about the Magus World, much less that her mother and sister are mages. |
| 246 | * MamaBear: She's become attached to Tsubaki and swears she won't let anything happen to her. |
| 247 | * MuggleBornOfMages: Amelia was born with no magical aptitude to speak of. |

| 253 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Yoshihisa Hosokawa (Yukaku Kurouka), Yoko Fujita (Mrs. Kurouka) |
| 254 | |
| 255 | Yuukaku Kuruoka and his wife. Tsubaki's parents, a couple of Japanese mages intent on joining the War. They were planning to summon UsefulNotes/QinShihuangdi as their Servant by using one of his relics as a catalyst, but their preparations come to nothing, as Tsubaki ends up summoning False Rider, who subsumes them and drags their spirits into Tsubaki's Bounded World. |
| 256 | ---- |
| 257 | * AbusiveParents: To Tsubaki. They kept her in line by carefully deceiving her into believing they were GoodParents and that their experiments would one day stop. [[spoiler:This causes their deaths when False Rider comes to drag them into Tsubaki's dreamworld to play the part of perfect parents, until Tsubaki herself learned what was going on and released everybody.]] |
| 258 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: They showed a kind image to Tsubaki until she fell into an irreversible coma. After that, she became a nonentity to them. |
| 259 | * BodyHorror: [[spoiler:As they begin their preparations to summon their Servant, False Rider arrives. Instead of the expected Command Seals, their skins break into a tapestry of rashes, blisters and pockmarks. They rise as thralls of their daughter's Rider.]] |
| 260 | * EvilutionaryBiologist: Their work focused on saturating Tsubaki's brain matter with prana-generating bacteria to turn her into a permanent magic battery. |
| 261 | * GeneticEngineeringIsTheNewNuke: They created a strain of BlackMagic-generating bacteria. |
| 262 | * GuineaPigFamily: The only reason they had Tsubaki was to experiment on her. |
| 263 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:The entire reason Tsubaki becomes a Master instead of them and unwittingly enthralls them with False Rider is because their experiments on her involved infection with bacteria meant to empower her Magic Circuits - this very infection would serve as a catalyst for False Rider's summoning due to Pale Rider being the embodiment of pestilence and death by disease.]] |
| 264 | * ItsAllAboutMe: Neither really thinks of Tsubaki more than a source of prana for their Servant and maybe, eventually, a baby-making machine. [[spoiler:Even as they fall under False Rider's power, neither spares a thought for her.]] |
| 265 | * MadScientist: Both of them are skilled mages and biologists. |
| 266 | * MedicalHorror: They took a look at [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Zouken Matou]]'s methods, rolled up their sleeves, [[BioAugmentation and cooked up something]] [[BodyHorror even worse]]. |
| 267 | * UngratefulBastard: [[spoiler:When Tsubaki learns what's ''really'' going on, she makes the conscious choice to ask False Rider to release them and the others it's imprisoned. What do they do once they get their bearings back? Try to cut Tsubaki's hand off to steal her Command Seals. [[TheStoic Sigma]] is so [[RageBreakingPoint utterly infuriated]] [[PayEvilUntoEvil that he cripples them both with Qin Shi Huangdi's crossbow]], leaves them at the wayside, and informs them he only abstained from killing them to avoid saddening Tsubaki.]] |
| 268 | * UnwittingPawn: They weren't considered worthy to join the True Holy Grail War - they were some of the fools Faldeus called up to become False Masters. Even so, Faldeus is still somewhat concerned when they don't even try to join the False War... [[spoiler:because they've been reduced to False Rider's puppets.]] |

| 274 | |
| 275 | A mage who created Wolf and tried to use him as a catalyst to summon a "God" as a Servant, only to fail when Wolf obtains the Command Seals instead of him. After Enkidu is summoned and forces him to leave, he runs into and is killed by Faldeus for being useless to his plans. |
| 276 | ---- |
| 277 | * AssholeVictim: He tortured an animal and is an ass. Nobody is going to miss him. |
| 278 | * BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: When Wolf gets the Command Seals instead of him, he gets so angry that he chases Wolf down and shoots him, then slowly tortures him while declaring he will pay for ruining his plan. In desperation, Wolf ends up summoning Enkidu, who forces him to leave. |
| 279 | * EvilCannotComprehendGood: He does not understand why Enkidu would care about Wolf, an artificial animal, or why Enkidu would accept Wolf as their Master. |
| 280 | * NoNameGiven: His name is never mentioned. |
| 281 | * SlashedThroat: Faldeus slices his throat with a knife. |
| 282 | * ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: As he slowly bleeds out from his knife wound, Faldeus then has his henchmen shoot him until his corpse is turned to mush. |

| 289 | |
| 290 | The head of the powerful Scladio family, a multi-ethnic mafia group with ties to everything from business to magecraft. He's targeted by True Assassin to weaken the Family, and by extension their agent in the Grail War. |
| 291 | ---- |
| 292 | * TheCameo: He had bought a pair of mystic eyes from the [[Literature/LordElMelloiIICaseFiles Rail Zeppelin]]. |
| 293 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He cares greatly for his great-great-granddaughter Olivia (who looks like his late first wife), happily gifting her a plush fox. [[spoiler: Even knowing that was a sign of his death, he wouldn't allow his youngest family member to be sad.]] |
| 294 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: He may be a mob boss, but [[spoiler: his mages altering influencial American souls to match his personality and create a mage paradise for themselves]] doesn't sit well with him at all. [[spoiler: He even asks True Assassin to stop their plan.]] |
| 295 | * FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler: Has a calm (if one-sided) conversation with True Assassin before his death. It helps that he saw this coming years ago.]] |
| 296 | * IJustWantToBeSpecial: Says that he started his drive for power after meeting his first wife, a novice Mage, and wanting to be able to perform magic himself. |
| 297 | * LastRequest: [[spoiler: When True Assassin comes for him, he asks him to stop his organization's evil plans. After killing him painlessly, True Assassin honors his wish.]] |
| 298 | * MagicalEye: He acquired a pair of mystic eyes of premonition, that for some unexplained reason, [[PowerIncontinence couldn't be turned off]] forcing him to constantly witness the moment of his death. Needless to say, he quickly had the eyes [[EyeScream removed]]. |
| 299 | * YourDaysAreNumbered: Thanks to the faulty mystic eyes he bought, Galvarosso knew when and how he would die. |

| 304 | |
| 305 | The spirit summoned by the Godfelling Crossbow the Kuruokas had hoped to use as a catalyst. |
| 306 | ---- |
| 307 | * DreamingOfTimesGoneBy: Its crossbow allows Tsubaki to see flashbacks to Qin Shi Huang's history when she touches it. |
| 308 | * MeaningfulName: "Jiao" is a diminutive form of "dajiaoyu" (大 鮫 魚), "giant monster fish" in Chinese, which is a translation of what Xu Fu called them when they reported to the imperial audience what blocked the progress of looking for an ElixirOfLife. |
| 309 | * NoNameGiven: Their name was apparently lost "long ago". The name "Jiao" is what they ask Sigma to call them. |
| 310 | * OtherworldlyAndSexuallyAmbiguous: They are described as looking androgynous, and Tsubaki cannot tell if they are a man or a woman. Their beauty is also frequently emphasized. |
| 311 | * PiecesOfGod: They identify themselves as "a remnant of a god". |
| 312 | * PimpedOutDress: Described as wearing glamorous red clothing that makes them look like royalty. |
| 313 | * SoulJar: They are essentially bound to the crossbow. |

| 317 | [[folder:The Hurricane ('''UNMARKED SPOILERS''')]] |
| 318 | !!Gugalanna |
| 319 | |
| 320 | The divine Bull of Heaven, summoned into the present day by the goddess Ishtar as her familiar. An enormous Divine Beast surrounded by its own storm system, causing the rest of humanity to mistake it for a ''very'' unnatural hurricane (designating it Hurricane Inanna), it slowly marches across the United States to reach the battlefield of the Fake Holy Grail War. |
| 321 | ---- |
| 322 | * ArcVillain: Together with its master Ishtar, it acts as the main antagonistic force of Volume 8 after its arrival in Snowfield in the preceding volume, and is ultimately dealt with in the same book. |
| 323 | * DiscOneFinalBoss: Gugalanna (and by extension its master Ishtar) are hyped up as one of the gravest major threats to Snowfield, and indeed, its long-awaited arrival in Snowfield in Volume 7 is what ultimately kicks off the story's breakneck climax. However, while both Ishtar and Gugalanna are given the entirety of Volume 8 to be the main villain focus, they are also dealt with in that same volume with at least two more volumes to go, becoming the first of Snowfield's major antagonistic factions to leave the field. |
| 324 | * EatTheBomb: During the fight between Thia and Enkidu, Thia manages to sneak a single meteor past Enkidu's Enuma Elish towards the surface, with the intent of devastating the world below. Unfortunately for Thia (and fortunately for the rest of humanity), the meteor heads straight for Gugalanna, who simply eats the meteor entirely with no effect. |
| 325 | * MeaningfulBackgroundEvent: The sudden appearance and approach of Gugalanna's hurricane is off-handedly mentioned a couple times in early volumes by news broadcasts like regular background fluff, long before its true nature - and its very real danger to all of Snowfield and the United States - is revealed. |
| 326 | * PerpetualStorm: Gugalanna's very presence causes an entire hurricane storm system to manifest around it, to the point where it is even given its own (unconventional and unknowingly fitting) hurricane designation of Inanna. |

| 329 | [[folder:Thia Escardos ('''UNMARKED SPOILERS''')]] |
| 330 | !!Thia Escardos |
| 331 | !!!The 1,800 year dream of the Escardos family |
| 332 | [[quoteright:347:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/thia.png]] |
| 333 | |
| 334 | An existence devised by Mesala Escardos 1800-years ago. It has existed in the Escardos family's Magic Circuits all this time in the slim chance that it can be reborn. With the death of Flat Escardos, "he" finally was given chance to be born as the fitting vessel. |
| 335 | ---- |
| 336 | * AntiMagic: Is noted to possess the equivalent of Magic Resistance EX, giving him the ability to interact with and negate magical energy. |
| 337 | * BlueAndOrangeMorality: It wants to become a "True Human" even if to do that he has to erase Humanity to do so. He wonders whether Flat would have managed to survive his awakening had they cultivated a relationship like Flat had with his Servant; he's also jealous that Jack had his soul mixed with Flat's. |
| 338 | * DeathActivatedSuperpower: He is born when Faldeus' hired sniper shoots Flat dead. |
| 339 | * DidntSeeThatComing: Seeing Enkidu create several anti-aircraft guns to fight him causes Thia to react in shock due to him recognizing them from the various movies Flat had watched. |
| 340 | * EnergyBeing: One interpretation of his existence. The narration mentions his pronouns are solely due to the "Vessel he inhabits", he's a product of an 1800 year old foundation of magic built into the Escardos Magic Crest, Flat could perceive him as an apparition before his death, and he wields power on par with Servants (who are a kind of magical EnergyBeing themselves). |
| 341 | * EvilCannotComprehendGood: Says he doesn't understand why Flat tried to help Ayaka, saying she was a waste of time. |
| 342 | * GreenEyedMonster: Declares jealousy of False Berserker because they were able to merge souls with Flat, which Thia could not do. |
| 343 | * HateAtFirstSight: Thea quickly recognizes that Ayaka is a threat to him after meeting her and would have killed her on the spot if Enkidu didn't interfere. |
| 344 | * MagneticWeapons: Thia's ability to imbue objects with Magecraft and accelerate them, effectively creating a magical accelerator cannon, are interpreted as the A Clockwork Abaddon Noble Phantasm. |
| 345 | * MeaningfulName: "Thia" is only one letter away from Theia, the name of the planet hypothesized to have crashed onto Earth 4.6 billion years ago, resulting in the creation of our Moon. The name connection seems to hint that Mesala really did try to not only create an Ultimate One but recreate Brunestrud. |
| 346 | * OtherworldlyAndSexuallyAmbiguous: The official profile for Thia merely states that "The body serving as Thia's foundation is male", meaning that he is a male merely because Flat was also male. The narration also uses double-gender pronouns for them, much like it does for Enkidu. |
| 347 | * PaintingTheMedium: Thia's introduction to the story causes the first usage of a first-person point of view. It's also a case of BoldInflation as all uses of the words "I", "me", and "my" are bolded. |
| 348 | * PerceptionFilter: Thia is able to use high-grade Perception Magecraft, which he tries to use in order to fire off a giant ball of space debris to hit Snowfield behind Enkidu's back. Being that Enkidu has high-level [[SupernaturalSensitivity Presence Detection]], they quickly notices the shot Thia was firing and are able to deflect it off the course. |
| 349 | * StrongAndSkilled: Thia inherits Flat's massive power reserves, and while it's a moot point since he's a living being, it's rendered as the equivalent of Independent Action A++ in his profile. While he isn't a Servant, he's so absurdly strong in comparison to modern mages his innate abilities can be interpreted as Skills and Noble Phantasms. |
| 350 | * TimeMaster: He has a limited though powerful form of this, interpreted as the Time-Flow Manipulation Skill, at a very high rank, allowing him to speed up or slow down any concepts within an area for as long as he has the magic energy, though he can't manage to reverse the flow of time or even stop it. |
| 351 | * TrueSight: His enhanced senses are interpreted as the Dweller of the Demonic Sphere Skill, allowing him to perceive the world and all of the overlapping magical structures around him, though it's not limited to his vision. |
| 352 | * UltimateLifeForm: In his own words, he is merely an existence who is meant to become a "True Human". Some of the details about him make it seem like Mesala was meaning to recreate Brunestrud, the Crimson Moon AKA Type-Moon. |
| 353 | * UpgradeVsPrototypeFight: Though their backgrounds differ as to where they came from, Thia possesses many parallels with fellow artificial being Enkidu, including a strong bond with a blonde InsufferableGenius (Gilgamesh for Enkidu and Flat for Thia) and CombatPragmatist proclivities. Their differences are fleshed out during their battle. |
| 354 | * YouHaveFailedMe: Downplayed but he blames Jack for his existence. He claims that if he had been around, Flat never would have been killed, and feels Jack failed in allowing Flat to die. |
