2	! Chaldea Security Organization
3	The Chaldea Security Organization is a secret agency founded by Marisbury Animusphere, one of the Clock Tower's twelve lords, and sanctioned by both the Mage's Association and United Nations. By bringing together the most brilliant minds in magic and science, Animusphere aimed to guarantee humanity's existence for at least the next hundred years.

6	[[folder: Kratos]]
7	[[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/raf_grassetti_kratos01.jpg]]
8	The Ghost of Sparta. The Bane of Olympus. Slave of the Gods. Bastard Son of Zeus. Former Servant of Ares. General of Ragnarök. Savior of the Nine Realms. Acting Master of Chaldea.
9	----
10	* AnIcePerson: Faye's Leviathan Axe was bequeathed to him after her death, and allows Kratos to utilize cryokinesis to freeze and decimate foes.
11	* BatmanGrabsAGun: Even being in an alternate universe, the Blades of Chaos follow him, Kratos reasons that no matter how much he hates it, its primordial fire magic is too powerful not to use them for the trials he will face in the singularities.
12	* BodyHorror: The ashes of his wife and daughter are magically fused to his skin, turning it white. Furthermore, the chains of the Blades of Chaos were seared into his forearms, to the point where long after abandoning them, he still has their marks along his flesh. The novelization also reveals that the chains burned so deeply into his arms, the heat's scorched his bones.
13	* BubbleShield: Da Vinci installs a device that allows this type of shield to form around Kratos for protection. Admittingly, it's incapable of handling a Servant-level attack for to long, but it's still considered useful and just needs more tweaking.
14	* ClingyMacGuffin: Even being stuck in an alternate universe won't stop the Blades of Chaos from finding Kratos. [[spoiler:It's really Athena going out of her way to torment him.]]
15	* DarkAndTroubledPast: The original series is very much this to Kratos. Though since then he became a father, and he deeply cares for his son, it's clear that Kratos is still wracked with guilt over what he used to be.
16	* FireWaterJuxtaposition: Kratos' Leviathan axe deals Frost damage and freezes his opponents in contrast to his Blades of Chaos from the old games, which were constantly on fire and burned whoever touched them. He ends up wielding both, and will often need to switch between them depending on what he's facing.
17	* GentleGiant: Especially in Ragnarok. Kratos wants peace more than anything and will not resort to violence unless in self-defense, showing restraint at times where physical retaliation would have long since been justified (such as his first meeting with Baldur in God of War). Push him too far, however, and this goes out the window.
18	* GrumpyOldMan: Falls into this, especially when he's anti-social with other characters.
19	* IAmAMonster: Still thinks of himself as this, brought right back when the Blades make their appearance. The words of da Vinci and Caster Cu in succession, despite knowing he did not reveal in full his story, actually put a balm on this well justified mindset.
20	* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Kratos was gifted a retractable shield from his wife Faye, along with his other weapons, to protect himself from strikes and projectiles alike.
21	* MyGreatestFailure: At the time of the events of GOW 2018 and Ragnarok, Kratos considers his massacre of the Greek gods and turning Greece into an inhospitable wasteland for centuries is this.
22	* ResurrectiveImmortality: The novelization of the first Norse entry indicates that Kratos is essentially cursed to live with the guilt of his sins forever, to the point where when he tried killing himself all the way back in III, he was brought back to life. It's even pointed out that when impaling himself on the Blade of Olympus failed, he hurled himself off a nearby cliff, only to be carried back onto land without a hitch. It's also made clear that this is why he can never part with his chained blades. Even when he tries to rid himself of them, they will always come back to him in some form or another.
23	* TrappedInAnotherWorld: After being ambushed by some of Odin's remaining servants, he ends up teleported to an alternate universe with no way to return to his home world.
24	* TheSpartanWay: Subverted; While he tends to be harsh and strict towards Mash, he ''refused'' to train her the same way he was.the exact type of Spartan upbringing that he personally went through.
25	* TragicKeepsake: The Leviathan Axe he wields belonged to his late wife.

28	[[folder: Ritsuka Fujimaru]]
29	[[quoteright:871:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/female_ritsuka.jpg]]
30	The last Master available in Chaldea after their destruction. Unlike canon Fujimaru, she is from a Mage family, so she is at least familiar with the world of Magecraft, if untalented in the eyes of it, she has now become the last hope for humanity. Well, before Kratos came.
31	----
32	* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: This version of Ritsuka, unlike the game where she lived as a muggle before being picked up by Chaldea, is fully aware of magecraft and its society. She is part of a magus family, but her older sister got all the praise and became the heir. However, it's made very clear that like canon, beyond her high-Master affinity, she has no talent in magecraft.
33	* AdaptationalBadass: While Ritsuka is far from the best magus like the games, in the story she claims to at least knows basic magecraft such as Reinforcement and Gandr. Being also rather decent with Alchemy an Homunculi study, where in canon Ritsuka knew nothing.
34	* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Is on the receiving end of this before and now. From her older sister who did everything right to that her co-Master is a literal God who's solved two Singularities after she nearly got killed. This does little to help her self-esteem.
35	* AnAesop: A minor one: Chrion telling Ritsuka that sometimes one needs to look and care for themselves and simply wait until they're healed. As trying to fight when your not in good health would just be a bad decision.
36	* BeneathTheMask: Behind her happy attitude, Ritsuka is in truth an insecure mess who holds an inferiority complex caused by her parents and even other magus seeing her as a disappointment in the world of magecraft.
37	* BystanderSyndrome: Wants to try and avoid this. Despite knowing Kratos is the superior Master, she has no intentions of just letting Kratos do everything on his own. Something Kratos can appreciate.
38	* TheBusCameBack: After Singularity 1, Ritsuka finally awakens. After Shayton, who had been possessing her is exorcist of course.
39	* TheChosenOne: It's made very clear by Cu and Odin that as much as a boon Kratos is for Chaldea, only Ritsuka can deal with certain problems that appear in the Seven Singularities and the Lostbelts.
40	* DemotedToExtra: For Singularity F and Singularity 1, Ritsuka is little more but a girl in a coma.
41	* {{Determinator}}: Subverted and then Played Straight. This version of Ritsuka admits that due to her poor skills in magecraft and even mundane activities, she constantly gave up and never really changed herself. Always giving up. To the point where when invited to Chaldea, she took it as an opportunity to run away. However, despite her complicated feelings in knowing she isn't the only Master and starting out with only Mash, Ritsuka decides to quit running and actually try her best to prove her resolve to save humanity.
42	* DisappointingOlderSibling: Inverted. It's Ritsuka who's the disappointment while her older sister is the accomplished one. Being the heir to the family and is good in both magecraft and mundane talents compared to Ritsuka.
43	* GrandTheftMe: It's revealed that in truth, Ritsuka had never been poisoned. In reality, she was slowly being taken over by the corrupt Cursed Arm demonic hand, Shayton, using Ritsuka's blood as a medium before being expelled and killed by Romani.
44	* GenkiGirl: Is a very excitable person and talks a lot both in her mind and with her mouth. Being rather happy and smiles a lot. Though this may be a mask to hide Ritsuka's more... insecure traits.
45	* ISeeDeadPeople: The Fujimaru specialty is known as Spiritualism. If Ritsuka focuses, she can see the spirits of the dead but refrains from using this skill often. Not just because it takes great concentration for her, but because she doesn't want to see the number of spirits who could potentially notice her ability's and likely attack her or simply badger her endlessly with requests.
46	* [[NiceGuy Nice Girl]]: For all of Ritsuka's problems, she's still a good person and even defended Jeanne Alter from Medusa's jabs while being worried for Mash. Having even considered Servants and even vat-grown homunculus as people rather than tools to walk over on.
47	* PutOnABus: During Singularity F, Ritsuka is poisoned and put out of commission with Kratos taking her place as Master until she awakens.
48	* {{Reincarnation}}: Chapter 20 reveals that despite having been killed since Fuyuki, Cursed Arm had managed to get his blood inside Ritsuka with Shayton slowly overtaking her to be reborn in her body. Thankfully, Jeanne Alter forces it to reveal itself and it is subsequently killed.
49	* SuperStrength: While being possessed, Ritsuka displays enhanced strength that makes the Servants somewhat struggle when trying to restrain her.
50	* WorfHadTheFlu: After Jeanne Alter reveals its ruse, Shayton awakens within Ritsuka and attempts to kill Romani. While defeated, Da Vinci notes that the demon hadn't fully integrated itself within Ritsuka and was forced to move after being outed despite being weakened.

53	!!Directors
54	[[folder: Olga Marie Animusphere]]
55	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/goolga.png]]
56	A member of the prestigious Animusphere family of magi and the second director of Chaldea. She monitors the future and is trying to prevent the extinction of humanity.
57	----
58	* {{Astrologer}}: Her family is the current head of the Astrology department of the Clock Tower.
59	* BeneaththeMask: She tries so hard to project the usual mage persona of haughtiness, but it doesn't take much for the mask to crack and reveal the NervousWreck that relies on others she really is.
60	* BrokenPedestal: Lev, the one person she has absolute faith in, reveals that he killed her and was scheming against her the whole time. This revelation coming from her trusted mentor and the person she was putting her faith into for fixing everything shocks her and she feebly tries to dismiss what he's saying as lies.
61	* DeadAllAlong: The Olga Marie seen in Fuyuki is actually her soul Rayshifting after her physical body was destroyed by Lev's bomb.
62	* RefusedByTheCall: She has zero Rayshifting aptitude and Master compatibility, so she never had a chance to be the Master that could save humanity.
63	* SparedByTheAdaptation: Kratos manages to trap her soul in one of Atreus' marbles, with da Vinci making plans to put it in a doll body.
64	[[/folder]]
65
66	[[folder: Romani Archaman]]
67	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/goroman.png]]
68	More known as Dr. Roman, he is the head of Chaldea's medical ward. He is responsible for making sure the Master candidates stay in good health. He becomes the Director stand-in on account Olga being currently indisposed.
69	----
70	* BigGood: He is the primary character who all others at Chaldea look for guidance during the crisis and he quickly proves to be very adept at doing so despite the emergency nature of his hastily appointed role.
71	* GodzillaThreshold: As his wish was, Romani desired only to be a human. While he doesn't have his former power back when he was Solomon, he still has knowledge on how to use some of them. When Ritsuka rampages due to her possession and nobody else can free her, Romani gives in and uses his latent connection with God to perform an exorcism.
72	* ItsAllMyFault: While it was an innocent mistake that nobody else noticed, Romani feels this way when thanks to Jeanne Alter, everyone realizes Ritsuka was possessed the entire time. Blaming himself for never realizing.
73	* LockedOutoftheLoop: He didn't know about the Heroic Spirit fusion project and regrets being unable to prevent what happened.
74	* MissionControl: From events of Singularity F and on, Roman serves as this appearing as a hologram to communicate with Kratos and Mash while overseeing their Rayshifting.
75	* OhCrap: Has this when Jeanne Alter she senses a demon in Ritsuka...then turns and see 'Ritsuka' is up and lunges to attack him.
76	[[/folder]]
77
78	!!Heroic Spirits
79	[[folder: Mash Kyrielight (Shielder)]]
80	[[caption-width-right:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mash_3.png]]
81	A member of the Chaldeas Security Organization, resident Demi-Servant, kouhai to Ritsuka Fujimaru and as of now, student to Kratos in the ways of the warrior.
82	----
83	* AdaptationalNiceGuy: While Galahad isn't entirely to different from canon, here, he's a bit more of a spectator rather than shutting himself off. Also, while he still hates his father and finds his Berserker-variant a disgrace, seeing his father howling in madness and being forced to kill him does affect Galahad more than he lets on. To the point where it's implied that one of the few regrets he had was not helping him in life.
84	* DesignerBabies: She was created specifically for the purpose of becoming a living catalyst so Chaldea could create a living Demi-Servant. While the experiment did work, Galahad was not happy about what had been done and refused to help Chaldea until Goetia and the Demon Pillars enacted the Incineration Order.
85	* EveryoneHasStandards: For all the spite he directs at Lancelot, Galahad is nonetheless deeply shaken when the Blades of Chaos cause the Berserker knight to lose his arms and puts an end to his misery through Mash who's left bawling after the deed.
86	* FirstFriend: When given a chance to return to being Ritsuka's Servant, Mash immediately agrees. Seeing herself as Ritsuka's first Servant and contract.
87	* ImprobableWeaponUser: Her primary weapon is a giant shield that is bigger than she is tall, but she can use it to a terrifying degree.
88	* MoreThanMindControl: Technically, Mash has full control of her body. However, despite not taking action, some of Galahad's emotions can influence her movement or even her own emotions.
89	* NearDeathExperience: When facing Lancelot, it's made VERY clear that Mash would have died had it not been a combination of Lancelot holding back and Mash being saved at the last second by Kratos.
90	* TheseHandsHaveKilled: After speaking with Ritsuka and Jalter, it's eventually made clear that one of the reasons Mash is having such a hard time with Lancelot's death is because it's the first time she actually killed someone. The rest being skeletons, beatts, or fighting Heroic Spirits killed by another. Thankfully, she gets better after speaking about this to the others.

93	[[folder: Cu Chulain (Caster)]]
94	[[caption-width-right:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fgo_caster_cu_chulainn_2.jpg]]
95	A hero from the Ulster Cycle of Celtic mythology, Ulster’s greatest warrior, and one of the Red Branch Knights. While he is best known for being the champion that wielded the demonic spear he received from Scathach, the Witch of Dún Scáith, she also trained him in Norse magics. Hence, he is said to have also been an adept of rune magic.
96	----
97	* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: Downplayed. While Cu is still the same, unlike his Hollow Ataraxia variant, this Cu admits that he wasn't proud for killing his son and breaking his vows with Emer, his wife.
98	* BashBrothers: Forms this with Kratos and make a hell of a team together.
99	* BloodKnight: Cu loves a good fight. Being ecstatic at facing strong foes and enjoys training with Kratos.
100	* {{Druid}}: Thanks to his Class change, Cu is this as a Caster. He vocally complains about it, as he's weaker compared to his Class as Lancer. Though it does have its uses, as being a Druid was essential in stopping Baldur.
101	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Not Odin himself, however, Cu all but states Odin isn't pleased seeing what his GOW counterpart did to his family. It's heavily implied that when meeting GOW!Baldur, Odin is rather saddened when meeting him.
102	* TheParanoiac: Not Cu, but the man in his head, Odin. While Cu is willing to let Kratos keep his secrets, like his myth, Odin doesn't and abuses the Servant-Master contract to see into Kratos's memories.
103
104	* OtherMeAnnoysMe: Odin is very displeased with his GOW counterpart after seeing Kratos' memories. Considering GOW!Odin was an abusive, manipulative, sociopathic tyrant, it's hard not to see why.
105	** Odin becomes very disgusted with his GOW counterpart and begins to understand why Kratos hates him as much as Ares GOW.
106	*** Odin agrees with Cu that Odin GOW was a threat to everyone, including his own family, to the point that he admits that permanently eliminating him was the best option for everyone's safety.
107	* PrettyBoy: Ritsuka comments that Cu is this, the man not being to bad-looking.
108	* PutOnABus: Inverted. Due to Ritsuka being put out of action and Kratos appearing, Odin has Cu stay with Chaldea instead of leaving since things have gone-off script.
109	* SecretKeeper: Due to Odin looking into Kratos's memories, including sensitive stuff, Cu for his part respectfully says nothing about what he knows of Kratos's life.
110	* SoProudOfYou: It's implied that the pep-talk Cu gave to Baldur wasn't actually Cu, but Odin. Proud that his son stood up against his GOW counterpart.
111	* SympathyForTheDevil: Upon meeting Baldur, Cu (and Odin) admit that they do feel bad for the life Baldur led. Attesting that Baldur, while he needs to be defeated, is ultimately someone who was fucked over by his parents.
112	[[/folder]]
113
114	[[folder: Leonardo da Vinci (Caster)]]
115	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/davinci1.png]]
116	Leonardo da Vinci was an Italian polymath whose genius, perhaps more than that of any other figure, epitomised the Renaissance humanist ideal. While they historically lived in the body of a handsome man, da Vinci said that The Mona Lisa represents the ideal of beauty that they pursued throughout life. Thus after becoming a Servant, da Vinci "redesigned" their body into its current form; for true genius transcends common understandings of appearance, gender and age.
117	----
118	* AngerBornOfWorry: After Ritsuka injures herself, she makes it clear how upset she is with the Master. Both for ignoring her and Romani's advice, and because she'd rather not see Ritsuka be hurt. Da Vinci was also equally angered when she learned how GOW!Ares had placed the Blades of Chaos into Kratos arms, burning his bones.
119	* ArtificialHuman: She made a duplicate puppet of herself which she pretends is her Master to remain in the present at Chaldea.
120	* DesecratingTheDead: Admits that she did this in life just to get some insight on the human body. Leo acknowledges that what she did, digging up corpses for her own curiosity, is pretty messed up.
121	* HotScientist: Alongside gender-bending herself, Da Vinci took the form of the Mona Lisa. Needless to say, she looks stunning.
122	* HumansAreFlawed: When Kratos believes himself to be a monster, Da Vinci is the first to snap him out of this. Proclaiming that despite being a Heroic Spirit, she's done her own shady things and points out many heroes, for all the great deeds they did in life, like normal humans, made their own mistakes and worse.
123	* InsufferableGenius: Da Vinci is a bonafide genius and is very proud of this fact. She also really likes to remind people of how smart she is, which earns quite a bit of eye-rolling from the protagonist and Roman. However, unlike many examples of this trope, she's kind, caring, and socially adept... but no less full of herself.
124	* LargeHam: Whenever she presents something new, Da Vinci can put on quite the show and speaks very loudly. Unexpected considering her ego.
125	* MissionControl: Da Vinci's typical role in Chaldea is remaining at base, monitoring the situation and providing advice from the sidelines.
126	* ParentalSubstitute: Alongside Romani, Da Vinci acts similarly as Mash's guardian. Helping raise her and can fret over Mash whenever the latter acts off or is injured.
127	* WorldsSmartestMan: Proclaims herself as this with Kratos seeing no reason to disagree, as he witnesses her genius. Admitting that the blacksmiths from home would enjoy her engineering.
128	[[/folder]]
129
130	[[folder: Medusa (Rider)]]
131	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/medusa_1.png]]
132	Youngest of the Gorgon sisters. Originally a chthonic deity, she and her sisters had to flee to a shapeless island due to the arrival of the Olympian deities and their fanatical faithful. Despite her beauty, she has been variously described as a serpentine monster who petrifies anyone foolish enough to gaze into her. Through it all, she is rather indifferent and would rather drink and read, and was also the only one of the three sisters to "grow". She has been summoned by Kratos.
133	----
134	* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: Unlike her Hollow Ataraxia variant, who liked Poseidon, this Medusa doesn't like him. It's later explained that Medusa actually did like Poseidon once and admitted she did fall for him. But when the chips were down and she was suffering because of Athena, Poseidon wasn't around to help, making her become bitter at him.
135	* ChainPain: Uses some chains as her main weapon against enemies. Being very good with it mind you.
136	* DeadlyGaze: Can petrify people with a single look if she wanted to. Warning her comrades not to look at her when she has her blindfold off.
137	* DefrostingIceQueen: When she first meets Kratos and realizes he's a God, she accuses him of tricking her, instantly ready to fight. It takes time, but Medusa soon realizes Kratos isn't like the other Gods she knew and slowly warms up to him.
138	* FamilyOfChoice: While it's unclear if the Pegasus is her actual son or just a gift in the story, Medusa still treats him with care and love.
139	* GorgeousGorgon: To Kratos's surprise, this Medusa is a beautiful woman instead of the less than eye-pleasing variant from his dimension.
140	* TheHighQueen: When told about her other self from Kratos, Medusa actually finds the idea of her being a queen amusing. Especially since this means she ruled over her sisters, where here she's a doormat to them.
141	[[/folder]]
142
143	[[folder: Jeanne d'Arc Alter (Avenger)]]
144	[[quoteright:480:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fh7t5ho.jpeg]]
145	The Maid of Orleans. Jeanne d'Arc resurrected and loathing the world for her death as a Saint... Only for the truth to reveal her to be a creation of Gilles himself. Outed, betrayed, upon meeting Kratos, she becomes a true Servant of Vengeance and aids Chaldea to undo the Singularities.
146	----
147	* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: While Jeanne Alter from the game does feel fury and rage due to Gilles implanting these feelings, they were still false at their core. Here, his death and the betrayal from her Servants causes her to become more wrathful and undergoes her transformation as a real Avenger much sooner where in canon, she had just chosen the Class because she liked it.
148	* AnArmAndALeg: Loses an arm from the resulting betrayal of Baldur. She makes do with her other arm and her powers.
149	* ArtificialLimbs: Since Jeanne Alter's left arm cannot regenerate, Da Vinci decides to make her a new one.
150	* BecomeARealBoy: It's suggested then claimed that despite having originally been a counterfeit Jeanne that Gilles made up, Jeanne Alter has become a real Servant due to his actions and her own character development. Slightly deconstructed as due to her complicated circumstances in becoming a true Servant, she became an Avenger and cannot regenerate her lost arm.
151	* {{Chuunibyou}}: As Ritsuka realizes and Avenger proclaims, she finds German words cool for her new name simply because German words sound better in her eyes.
152	* DetectEvil: It's revealed that during her creation, Gilles added some of the original Jeanne's abilities into Jeanne Alter. This allows Avenger to notice and discover that Ritsuka was being possessed by Assassin the entire time.
153	* EvilKnockoff: Let's just say Jeanne Alter has a complex about this. More so since she discovered much earlier she was a fake the entire time.
154	* GodWasMyCoPilot: Questions and nervously fears this, as she has no idea how to respond if it's true. Even reading the bible just to gain a better understanding of God if he might be her enemy or not.
155	* HandicappedBadass: Thanks to Baldur's betrayal, Jeanne Alter was missing an entire limb during the entire first Singularity. It does little to actually slow her down in killing the enemy.
156	* HeelFaceTurn: After being betrayed by Baldur and losing Gilles, Jeanne Alter at first joins Chaldea for revenge. Once the Singularity ends, she joins them full time.
157	* HoistByTheirOwnPetard: To have her summoned Servants obey her, Jeanne Alter has Gilles slap them with Madness Enhancement to control them more easily. When she faces Charles, and tries to get him to let her go or help out against Baldur, Charles refuses since the trait she forced on him makes him act otherwise. Jeanne Alter notes the irony in this.
158	* {{Manchild}}: It's slowly made clear that despite being an adult, Jeanne Alter can very much act like a child. Between her chunni traits, she also gets excitable at having a rocket punch ability and curses when losing in a game on her Gameboy.
159	* NeverLearnedToRead: Like the original, Jeanne Alter can't read one bit.
160	* {{Revenge}}: After being attacked by Baldur and left for dead, betrayed by her Servants, and losing Gilles, Jeanne Alter becomes consumed by genuine rage and hate that it causes her to become an Avenger.
161	* SecretKeeper: Is one for Romani, knowing his true identity as Solomon.
162	* SpottingTheThread: While Jeanne Alter is the furthest from being a pure Saint, she could immediately tell that Romani's exorcism wasn't something a normal person can do. Claiming that what he did used God or one of his Angel's personal intervention. This forces Romani to secretly tell her who he truly is.
163	* ThereIsAGod: After her life was saved by a cross from Charles, then somehow brought into Chaldea despite not having done so herself, Jeanne Alter thinks that maybe God had done so. She then proceeds to witness and learn who Romani really is.
164	* {{Tsundere}}: Like canon, Jeanne Alter can actually be rather nice beneath her more violent traits. Not that she would ever admit it, with Da Vinci playfully noting Jeanne Alter is this trope.
165	* UnderestimatingBadassery: When Avenger faces Charles, she assumes she'll beat him quickly due to him being a rather weak Servant. Cue him slowly gaining an advantage over her with the Assassin pointing out to Avenger that he was only weak because he killed normal people. But against sinners like her, he gains a conceptual advantage and nearly wins.
166	* WoundThatWillNotHeal: After having her left arm town off, Jeanne Alter at first seemingly can't regenerate it due to the stress and trauma of the situation. Later on, after Orleans, it's revealed that her arm genuinely cannot heal. Da Vinci claiming that due to her circumstances, Jeanne Alter's 'wound' isn't actually a wound, thus it cannot heal.

169	[[folder: Chiron (Archer)]]
170	[[caption-width-right:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chironport3.png]]
171	A centaur known as a great sage among his kind in Greek Mythology. He is the son of the Titan Cronus and the deity Philyra, making him a Divine Spirit who would not normally qualify as a Heroic Spirit. He received teachings from the gods such as medicine and music from the sun god Apollo and hunting from the goddess Artemis, and in turn young and immature heroes gathered around him and learned various teachings and fighting techniques under his wing. He has been summoned by Ritsuka.
172	----
173	* BadassTeacher: He taught Achilles, Perseus, Castor and Herakles. Once he's summoned, Chiron admits he's still teaching others in the Throne and has no problem teaching Ritsuka, who accepts it.
174	* BlackSheep: While Chiron may not hate his race, he fully admits their barbaric acts and wild actions weren't to his tastes. Being more controlled than them compared to their bouts of violence and inability of self-control.
175	* BrutalHonesty: Admits to Ritsuka that while he will teach them, he also makes it clear that her path won't be easy regardless. Even so, he doesn't mind guiding her, to Ritsuka's joy.
176	* CoolUncle: Many of the heroes he mentored happened to be his nephews since they were children of his half-brother Zeus.
177	* DoppelgangerGetsSameSentiment: When hearing that even in another world Achilles and Jason dies, Chiron shows even if they aren't his version's students, he still cares for them.
178	* MentorArchetype: Chiron was known for training many heroes, with Kratos admitting that although he has not personally met Chiron GOW, the counterparts of his students from the GOW and PHH/Nasuverse are an excellent example of Chiron's abilities as a mentor to various warriors. He's also willing to teach Ritsuka, believing she has great potential.
179	* OurCentaursAreDifferent: Unlike most centaurs who were more savage and mere brutes (especially in Kratos' world), Chiron differs in that alongside his lineage, he was more kind and was willing to help others. Be it through his teachings or simply supporting them. Chiron differs from other centaurs by virtue of being pretty much a god of his own right in a centaur form since his dad was a Titan and his mom was a nymph.
180	* TheMedic: He's a skilled healer, he even managed to teach this skill to several of his students, the most notable being Asclepius, who managed to surpass his teacher to the point of being able to resurrect the dead.
181	* TotallyNotAWerewolf: Chiron may be a centaur, but he's a son of Kronos and thus much older, wiser, kinder, and more powerful than other centaurs.
182	* YouRemindMeOfX: After being summoned by Ritsuka, a combination of his old memories and seeing Ritsuka's injured legs makes him recall Fiore, who he clearly still cares for.

185	! Enemies of the Human Order
186	[[folder: Lev Lainur Flauros]]
187	[[quoteright:220:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/golev.png]]
188	A key member of Chaldea, who created the various systems they use to summon Servants and watch over history. However, he is revealed to have been the bomber that sabotaged Chaldea, and reveals to have a part in the incineration of Human History.
189	----
190	* BitchInSheepsClothing: Many in Chaldea knew him as a supporting member that was kind. Upon the end of Fuyuki, Lev drops this act and makes it clear he sabotage Chaldea and gleefully berates Olga with great cruelty of her failures and death.
191	* BreakTheHaughty: Lev's loss against Kratos has left the Demon Pillar both in rage and, despite claiming otherwise, a fear of the God after being nearly killed in his human form.
192	* EvilAllAlong: Like canon, Lev was never on Chaldeas side. Admitting that he'd never been loyal to the organization, thus had no problem in getting nearly everyone killed during the explosion he set up.
193	* EvilIsPetty: Even though Kratos is a God, against all the Demon God Pillars, alongside their King, Kratos can't actually beat them in a direct fight.. This doesn't stop Lev from trying to get Kratos killed in Orleans as payback for his defeat.
194	* HumanityEnsues: While Lev won't admit it, the other Demon God Pillars point out him staying in human form causes him to be much more emotional. Which includes anger and rage at Kratos.
195	* KickTheDog: Bad enough that he crippled Chaldea already. But when he meets everyone at the end of Singularity F, he begins cruelly admitting his crimes. Taking a special kick in rubbing this in Olga's face and insults her for trying to deny it as she begs him not to.
196	* WorfHadTheFlu: As long as Lev remains human, he cannot actually exert his true power. Even so, the idea that he was still nearly killed infuriates Lev. The other Demon Pillars noting that he's actually staying in his human form so he could save power to use if he meets Kratos again.

199	!!Heroic Spirits
200	[[folder: Fuyuki : Artoria Pedragon Alter (Saber)]]
201	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/artoria_alter_1.png]]
202	An alternate version of Artoria Pendragon, the King of Knights. This Artoria has been corrupted by "All The Evils In The World", transforming her into a heartless tyrant.
203	----
204	* AdaptationalJerkass: Is a lot more insulting towards the heroes. Making less than pleasing remarks towards them and far from sees them as worthy. Though she does lighten up around the end, somewhat.
205	* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Despite being a very powerful Heroic Spirit, with bottomless mana, in Orleans, Mash comments that Berserker (Lancelot) was even more frightening and skilled than even Artoria.
206	* AntiVillain: Helped with devastating Singularity F and corrupting the other Heroic Spirits. Willing to kill Kratos, Mash, Cu, and Olga. But after being defeated, it's also clear that she only fought the heroes to ensure they were strong enough to handle the tasks ahead.
207	* BlackKnight: Has become this after becoming corrupted.
208	* ExpectingSomeoneTaller: While Kratos considers her very powerful, he internally admits that after hearing about her, he expected someone bigger.
209	* GracefulLoser: After facing defeat from the combined strength of Kratos, Mash, and Cu, Saber takes it in stride and acknowledges them.
210	* IdealHero: She was this. Was. A good dash of corruption changed her into the tyrant Chaldea faced.
211	* LesserOfTwoEvils: When Saber insults Cu for going against her after freeing him from Kotomine, who had his own less than stellar plans for Fuyuki, Cu makes it clear that she's not any better than him.
212	* RasputinianDeath: It takes quite a bit to beat her down. From constantly attacking her, holding her in place, burning her alive with Wicker Man, then slamming her into the ground. Even after her Spirit Origin breaks, she sticks around long enough to speak with everyone before finally vanishing.
213	* SmugSuper: Having unlimited mana, a powerful SwordBeam that she can constantly spam, the power to corrupt Servants, and having killed powerful Heroic Spirits like Gilgamesh has made Saber quite smug when facing Chaldea. And considering the showing she put before them, well-right to.
214	* StrongAndSkilled: Put up a fight that made everyone need to put in the effort and extra just to finally beat her.

217	[[folder: Orleans: Baldur (Alter Ego)]]
218	From Kratos' blood being used as a Catalyst, a formidable foe has come back to torment Kratos once more in the body of one of Jeanne's dear siblings.
219	----
220	* AdaptationalBadass: In regards to their curse: while in canon Baldur was unkillable from magical and physical threats, he could still be hit and even left temporarily 'dead'. Here, Baldur is utterly untouchable from anything aside from mistletoe. He can also feel again, which he takes for joy.
221	* AlasPoorVillain: While Baldur is a monster that needs to be put down, some Servants do feel bad for him considering his past. Upon looking through Kratos's memories, both Cu and Odin admit Baldur was done wrong. With Atalante helping him as she sees him as an abused child.
222	* FightingFromTheInside: As a Pseudo-Servant, Baldur is a combination of himself, his Nasu-counterpart, and Jeanne's brother, Jean. The latter constantly attempts to break free from Baldur but fails, while Baldur's Nasu-counterpart gives up. A small pep-talk from Cu allows the Nasu!Baldur to fight back and help Chaldea defeat Baldur, weakening him.
223	* ItsPersonal: Admits to Kratos that while he's mainly killing him to get back home, he's also doing it as payback for killing him just as he got his senses back and for preventing him from killing his mom.
224	* GrandTheftMe: Is a Pseudo-Servant using Jeanne's brother, Jean, as a vessel. Baldur takes control of the body and is attempting to remake it into his own.
225	* JerkassGods: Baldur isn't the nicest God around. Aside from Atalante, he cares very little for his allies and his quite crude. He also admits to Jeanne Alter that even if Lev hadn't promised him a trip back home by killing Kratos, he still would have killed her as a peasant shouldn't command a God.
226	* NighInvulnerability: Unless mistletoe is involved, Baldur is literally untouchable by Chaldea. If not for Cu, then the chances of beating Baldur would very much have been more difficult, if not impossible.
227	* NoSell: Baldur, after years of living from sensory deprivation, already has gone mad. Meaning Jeanne Alter and Gilles' attempts in slapping Madness Enhancement to control him was already doomed to fail.
