This is a list of characters from Fate/Nuovo Guerra. As a note, the forum makes use of face claims.
- Glass Cannon: Compared to Servants at least.
- Kid with the Leash: The Servants are almost always stronger then the Master. The Master is in control. Most of the time.
- Squishy Wizard: Zigzagged. Some Masters practice and know melee combat in some form as well as being able to take a hit (or dozen). However, even with all their skill, they'll still die if they try to fight a Servant straight on.
Masters who command the Saber Class.
Celestina Barbieri/Celestina Barthomeloi
Barthomeloi Lorelei's illegitimate daughter, Celestina is the result of the Queen of Clock Tower's first and last mistake. Hidden and raised in the family estate's basement and personally trained by her parents, she ended up hating her father after learning of the truth of her conception. Proud of her lineage, she has been sent to participate in the Sixth Holy Grail War under the alias "Celestina Barbieri", perhaps to earn the coveted Barthomeloi family name, perhaps as a convenient way to dispose of her, bastard child that she is.
- Blow You Away: Her specialization is in this and Shock and Awe types of magecraft, and her spells include Razor Wind, as well as a "railgun" spell that magnetically accelerates a metallic object.
- Blade Enthusiast- She collects blades of all sorts from many countries.
- Lady of War: Her preferred weapon of choice is a longsword.
- Magical Eyes: Inherited from her father's side, a family that strengthens their bloodline by absorbing evil spirits to strengthen themselves. This has resulted in her inheriting their demon blood. Her Mystic Eyes protect against enemy spells or banish familiars. In the case of Servants, their stats are also affected. The protective effect can also leak to her Servant.
- Magic Knight: She enchants her sword with Razor Wind properties.
- Pointy Ears: When she makes full use of her Mystic Eyes.
- Sacrificed Basic Skill for Awesome Training: Due to being raised away from human contact, she has difficulty expressing her affections, which tend to end up looking more like bullying.
Touko Aozaki
Yes, that Touko Aozaki. She's in town to study the mechanics that make the Holy Grail work. See her sheet on the respective page.
Alexandra Ritter von Ehre
A young woman that seems to have a lot of hatred for the world, Alexandra does not play nice with others. She became the next family head after going on a rampage through her family's mansion and killing her own sister just a few short days before the start of the 6th Grail War. She has no (apparent) goals.
- Femme Fatale: Perfectly fine with seducing: and killing: people to get what she wants.
- Immune to Bullets: Thanks to one of her water spells.
Lempicialynn Edelfelt
The younger of the two Edelfelt Sisters, by six minutes. As with the rest of her family, Lempi is an expert at a martial art, namely Capoeira, and Jewel Magecraft. Loves roast pork and Heineken beer, and has such a great disdain for guns that she created a spell that is basically a magical Hand Cannon for the sake of proving that her magecraft is better. She and her sister Lumi have come to participate in this war to regain the honor lost by their family in the Third Grail War. More importantly, she is a reincarnation of Rin Tohsaka made possible by her father's genetic magecraft.
- BFG: One of her stronger spells is a version of Gandr that emulates a standard 12-Gauge Shotgun.
- Identical Granddaughter: Sort of. Her appearance comes from a combination of her father's genetic magecraft and the Tohsaka genes that were in the Edelfelt crest recovered from Fuyuki City.
- Hand Cannon: She uses a personalized version of Gandr that is basically a magical Desert Eagle. In fact, the name of the spell is simply Finnish for "Desert Eagle".
- Trademark Favorite Food: Roast pork
Siyr Arend
Siyr is a girl living in a fantasy world, and all that that entails. She is spacy, easily distracted, and never sees the world the same way as anyone else. A normal person might call her insane, but she doesn't listen to normal people. She is after all, a magus. Who tends to have fire at hand to solve problems.
- Convection, Schmonvection: Subverted, she has clothes/spells to keep herself from being burned.
- It Amused Me: Her reason for setting things on fire.
- Knight in Shining Armor: Has an obsession with them. To the point where if she considers you one, nothing you do can be evil in her eyes. Nothing.
- Punny Name: Her nickname, Sear.
- Pyromaniac: Has a tendency to set things on fire when bored.
Aashiq Jeremiah Nassar
A 29-year old Master and retainer to the Nassar family based in Cairo Egypt. He joined the war to earn a little prestige for the declining family he seems doomed to inherit. Much more of a thinker than a fighter, he is brilliant at deductive reasoning but can’t fight to save his life. As a result his magecraft revolves around fleeing and distraction, and he himself is fairly quick on his feet. Eccentric, cordial, and a generally nice guy, albeit with a tendency to snark when irritated.
- Refusal of the Call: He didn't want to be a retainer of the Nassar family.
Masters who command the Archer Class.
Lumivellamo Edelfelt
The older of the Edelfelt Sisters, by six minutes. She essentially has the same personality as her aunt, Luvia. This is mainly because she is a reincarnation of Luvia, who died fighting a Dead Apostle Ancestor. She and her sister Lempi are participating in this Holy Grail War in order to recover the honor they lost from the Third War.
- Blue Blood: The Edelfelts are the most notorious noble family of battle magi in the world.
- For Want Of A Nail: She wouldn't exist if Fuyuki City was not destroyed.
- Strong Family Resemblance: Essentially an expy of Luvia because she is a reincarnation of her.
Sajyou Ayaka
- Artificial Human: Ayaka is a failed homunculus.
Franz Regendorf
Percival Heath
He's just an average Joe who gets trolled by his benefactor to participate in the war.
- Shout-Out: His command seal looks like the Lantern Corps ring.
Masters who command the Lancer Class.
Ankokuki Shiki
- Kill It with Fire: Her only element is fire.
- The Gunslinger: Has a full arsenal of guns
Cardwyn
A woman from an older Welsh line of Magi, she had her mind shattered and reformed by her father. It left her mentally unstable, and with a strange desire to deliver justice herself. With knives.
- Serial-Killer Killer: It's a hobby of hers.
Alan Girm Moria
A man hailing from...well, Hell, Michigan; he works part time at the piccolomini library. If he's not reading a book, he's practicing his magecraft. His wish is to own a library that contains every book in existence past, present, and future. Or to become the god of libraries. Depends on his mood at the time.
He finally got approved.
- Adventurer Archaeologist: In his back story.
- Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: One of his potential goals.
- Dishing Out Dirt- Earth flow, a spell that creates near-instant sinkholes under people.
- Geometric Magic: His magecraft is based on runes.
- In-Series Nickname: "Book Wyrm"
- Kill It with Fire: His favorite method.
Jacob Archer
A man who has lived in various countries throughout his life, Jacob Archer is an international man (of mystery). His family is a fairly recent one, having only joined the Association 200 years ago. He was chosen to participate in the war due to the sole fact that he happened to be the closest family member to Lucca at that time. Calculating, curious, and a realist: he's the kind of man that keeps his head straight. His goal is to survive the war, and maybe grab a souvenir in the process.
- Awesomeness by Analysis: His greatest strength isn't magic, or martial arts, or even fire arms. It's his ability to analyze a situation.
- Razor Wind: The spell is even called this.
:Jordan Gallagher
A lady lover with a heart of (slightly tarnished) gold. Jordan was on vacation when his own curious nature caused him to be dragged into a war he knows nothing about and attacked by monsters. Having been helped by Honda, he seeks to repay him by helping the guy out if possible.
- Bookworm: Loves reading.
- Chivalrous Pervert: He loves the ladies, but would never force them to do anything they don't want to.
- Genius Bruiser: Book smart and knowledgeable in several forms of martial arts. Also 6'7 feet tall.
- Guilt Complex: Over not being able to protect his mother.
- Parental Abandonment: Was orphaned at an early age. Jordan's father beat his mother to death. Jordon then proceeded to fatally wound his father with a knife. This all happened when Jordan was seven
- Shout-Out: His best martial art style is Huang Gar and his magic is all Earth based. Which would make him an earthbender.
Masters who command the Rider Class.
Nikolai von Drachenheim
Head of the Romanian Drachenheim family and count of the city of Hunedoara. Nikolai was never an enforcer, but has battled many supernatural enemies of his homeland to protect his domain and the principles of his family. Graduating at 2nd rank at the Clocktower, Nikolai caught wind of the Grail War in later years.He does not have a wish, but rather sees the Grail as a dangerous device if the wrong person receives it. His goals are to prevent anyone else from winning the war, making sure that the Grail ends up in "competent hands". His own hands, that is.
- The Blacksmith: Part of his family's affinity is metallurgy, with even the non-magi of the lineage becoming good blacksmiths. In addition to his natural skills, he can shape metal with magic in order to forge something anew or reshape existing items.
- Blue Blood: Doubly so. He is the head of a very old family of mages, in addition to being a count and ruler of a city.
- Honor Before Reason: His most telling flaw. Nikolai follows a knightly code of honor that went out of style a long time ago. This puts him at a disadvantage against enemies who have no problem with underhanded tricks.
- Hot Blade: His weapon of choice, Drachau. While the sword in itself is nothing more than a well-forged and extremely durable blade, it can withstand absurdly high temperatures. Nikolai can heat it up with magic in order to cut through practically anything.
- Killit With Fire: His favoured element.
- Magic Knight: He was trained in both physical combat and magecraft.
- Order Versus Chaos: Nikolai believes the world to be this. Everything good is a result of people sticking to their roles and being content, while everything bad is a result of people or nations overstepping their roles.
Yang Huang Long
A 27 year old university student hailing from the Schezuan province of China. He's A brilliant, manipulative passionate man that has a knack for sprinkling things with sarcasm. He's also lazy. Very lazy. He hopes to test his skills by participating in the war, and to nab the grail to wish for his newborn Chinese Mage Association to be protected from the other Organizations around the world.
Catherine Trandor
The current heir of the Trandor family and one of the supervisors of the current Grail War. She was supposed to participate in the previous Grail War, but circumstances and coincidences denied her the opportunity. She accepted the job in Lucca in order to prevent another Fuyuki disaster, but secretly wanted to examine the Grail prototype, unaware that the current Grail is not the current Einzbern master.
Adam Wells
An actor that has become a Master of the war, Adam West is a man who always has a smile on his face. He sets goals he can realistically meet and never gives up once that goal is set. He can be quite the quick thinker as well. He lacks a goal due to being dragged into the war (the best wish he could think up was "for everyone in the world to be happy"), hoping to just set be a good representative for his family if anything else.
- Agony Beam: "Mind Numbing Pain" is more of an agony bullet then beam, but it's still pretty close.
- Only a Flesh Wound: Has a high tolerance for pain.
- Stepford Smiler: Subverted, his constant smiling is due to him being happy. Some people believe this trope to be in effect when they meet him though. Something is seriously wrong if he's not smiling.
Amaranta Bastillo
A feisty Italian girl who was forced into the war by her grandfather, she's a full time illustration student (part time barista). She's quick thinking, practical, and always makes her mind known. Her goal is to simply survive the war, having no real long-term plans of her own.
- Muggle: Used to think she was a normal girl like everyone else. Then her father dropped the Holy Grail War into her lap.
- Parental Abandonment: Mother drunk herself to death, leaving her to more or less raise herself.
Alex McCeol
A musician from an old family of magi, Alex's family specialized in spellsinging... at least they did until their heir decided to go to America to escape his family. Since then, the line is almost gone, with Alex being the only heir to their power. Needless to say, she isn't happy about this. Or anything else for that matter. Still she's here, unknown and underestimated, with nothing but her guitar and her gift. And of course, The Power of Rock. Partnered with Spartacus.
- Ahoge: According to the almost-canon chatbox rp, what Alex hides under her hat.
- Blow You Away: Most of her spells do a variation of this
- Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: She's 5'2". Her servant Spartacus is 6'4".
- Insistent Terminology: Her name is Alex. Just Alex. If you say any different, prepare to get thrown into a wall
- Instrument of Murder: Her guitar is also heavily armored enough and bespelled enough to use as a bludgeon effectively against anything but Servants. It also is a mystic code which shoots very dense waves of air.
- Jade-Colored Glasses: An eternal pessimist who believes that the universe is personally out to spite her. She plans on spiting it back
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Her general persona. She's a constant ball of rage with little to no social skills, but if there are people in danger, she'll charge in head first to help.
- Magic Music: Her family's specialty
- Meaningful Name: Ceol is gaelic for song. Note that this was intentional, as one of her ancestors changed his name to escape his family. His last name had been MacGraith (Son of grace).
- This Is Gonna Suck: Her catchphrase is "Wonderful."
- Tsundere: Of the constantly irritated variety. With very little dere at all.
Masters who command the Caster Class.
Luciano Mezzanotte
Enrica's older brother and the current head of the Mezzanotte family. Also The Don of the Mezzanotte crime family. A Chess Master and Manipulative Bastard who has an obsession with being prepared for things. Naturally, he likes to hide in the background and sit back watching, while the other Masters kill each other. But more likely than not, he'll use convoluted plots to kill other Masters without implicating himself.
Luciano is known for:
- Combat Pragmatist: He keeps three pocket guns and a retractable knife hidden on his person at all times. In order to avoid detection, he redirected the prana flow so that a 'Substitute Master' supplies his Servant with mana, while he keeps the command spells. He sics his Mage Killer assistant to kill targets. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
- Crazy-Prepared: He's crazy enough to keep strong-grip tires in the trunk of his car even in the drought in case it rains, despite the fact that it's a drought. His workshop is wired to self-destruct if somebody manages to get inside. He commands his mafia clan under the identity of his dead big brother in order to keep himself from getting assassinated. He sleeps with a high caliber pistol under his bed.
- Knight Templar Big Brother: Don't even look at his sister in a funny way, if you know what's good for you.
- Power Nullifier: His family specializes in interrupting the flow of prana through magic circuits, preventing targets from casting spells. On the other hand, they are incapable of casting physically damaging offensive spells of any kind due to being so good at this. Which is why he knows how to use a gun.
Mia Hedera
- Squishy Wizard: Even with her ability to use knives, she's no good in close combat.

A 21 year old Master, Matthew Walker is one of two Magi focused on the the magecraft of Soul Burn Magic. He's a friendly guy with strong moral codes. He always keeps his word, no matter what.
- Cast from Hit Points: Soul Burn Magic, it can eventually lead to brain damage, memory loss, and paralysis.
- Dangerous Forbidden Technique: Though not forbidden, his brand of magic still inflicts damage on him whenever he uses it.

He has been sent by the Clock Tower to observe the sixth war and take care of inconveniences. Disobeying his orders due to boredom and because he needed help for his job, Zack Smith used a good-luck charm as a catalyst to summon his Servant. He is also known in the Clock Tower for being a lazy bum, a slacker. He is, however, a very good slacker who, when forced to, does his job perfectly.
- Confusion Fu: His style is unorthodox and is meant to surprise the adversary.
- It Amused Me: His second reason for joining the war is that he was bored.
Masters who command the Berserker Class.
Kosviel von Einzbern
An Einzbern homunculus created to become the next Holy Grail. Or so she thinks. Kosviel is actually a decoy Grail Vessel set up to become a Master. The true vessel is her secret twin sister, Kernsviel. Kosviel spent most of her life in Japan learning Soujutsu (spear arts). Along the way, she got exposed to anime while accompanying the dojo sensei to Akihabara, and 'grew up' into an Otaku. Kosviel spends most of her free time cosplaying and playing around.
Kosviel is known for:
- Cosplay Otaku Girl: She dresses up like Lancet Keisse from her favorite Visual Novel, Firstlight Dragon. Incidentally, Lancet (and hence Kosviel) looks just like Archerko.
- Determinator: This is how she earns her Servant's respect. Despite losing badly every single time, she continues to challenge him to duels. He eventually asks the reason why she just doesn't give up, despite the fact that everybody knows that a Master is no match for a Servant no matter how hard s/he tries.
- Empathic Weapon: Her spear contains a fragment of her consciousness, and is thus a part of her.
- Magic Knight: Kosviel isn't as skilled at alchemy as other Einzbern magi because of her spear training. She's just good enough, however, to craft high-quality bladed weapons suitable for combat.
- Mook Maker: With her very high prana capacity, she is easily capable of creating an army of attack familiars.
- Shout-Out: An in-universe example. Kosviel is well-aware that Lancet's/Archerko's costume, which she wears, is reminiscent of Edward Elric's, and claps her hands to activate her magic circuits for transmutation spells, just for the sake of completing the image. She even creates Ed's trademark lance when she needs an instant weapon. This has led to the forum nickname "Fullmetal Einzbern".
- Younger Than They Look: Except for Ilya, Homunculi are normally born in 'adult' form. Kosviel is ten years old.
Aela Atheling
A young woman who was born into the Corrain family. At the age of 7, she slit her own brother's throat and single handily caused the destruction of her family through a series of events. Soon after, she was adopted into the Atheling family and given thaumaturgy at the age of ten. Her goal is to undo the killing of her brother, as she believes it will not only save him but her old family as well.
- An Ice Person: A powerful A Ranking spell in Aela's possession. Activating it results in...
- My Greatest Failure: Causing the destruction of her family. When she was seven.
- Thou Shalt Not Kill: The guilt over the death of her family causes her to lack the ability to finish off opponents.
Renard Aestling
A 25 year old fire-aligned mage who, despite being from a 'young' family, has a great deal of insight into the Mage Association and generally knows more than he lets on (or should), with his standard excuse being 'I read.' A bit jaded, but relatively good-natured and even-keeled so long as you don't push his buttons. He was more or less tossed into the War with little to no idea of what's going on, but then figured he may as well make the best of the situation. As such he has no real designs on the Grail as of yet, preferring to wait and see how things develop first.
- Don't You Dare Pity Me!: Takes it offensively. Berserk Button offensively if the other person doesn't seem to take a hint.
- Undying Loyalty: Only to those he deems to be worth it, and even then it includes a heaping helping of Sarcastic Devotee
Ray Rummo
The third born to the Rummo family's former leader and younger brother to the current, Ray was never forced into harsh magical training like his siblings. His days, in comparison, were carefree. He came to join the war when his best friend, Maarja, fell ill. His goal is to use the Grail to cure her.
- Blow You Away: His family's specialty.
- Death of a Child: He has just as much chance of dying during the war as anyone else. His friend Maarja died before he even joined the war.
- Determinator: Managed to travel across the Europe by himself to join the war so he could save his friend.
- Failure Is the Only Option: Ray entered the war to gain the power of the Grail to cure his friend Maarja. She died before he even reached the city. Subverted, as he can still revive her with the Grail. If he wins.
- Goggles Do Nothing: Ray's don't have any particular function.
- Improbable Age: He's the youngest master at the age of ten.
- The Promise: Made one to his friend Maarja that he would find a cure for her. Subverted in that she died before he even reached the city
- Shock and Awe: His only spell is bolt, a minor lightning spell
Masters without Servants.
Masters that have been killed off
General tropes for Servants
- Gender Bender: The "Arturia Syndrome" is in full effect here.
- Guardian Entity: Servants must keep their Masters alive, lest they die and the Servant die with them. Not always the case, mind you.
- Non-Human Sidekick: All Servants are Heroic Spirits given form by the Holy Grail.
- Pride: Many Servants are prideful to the point that it's a recurring character flaw.
Sabers
General tropes for Sabers
Uther Pendragon
Arturia Pendragon's father and the High King of Britannia. A Saber-class Servant partnered with Celestina, he is responsible for putting Caliburn in the stone from which his daughter Arturia drew it. As the original Pendragon, Uther's dragon attribute is much higher than Arturia's, and thus manifests as a defensive personal skill. He's in the war to resurrect the British Empire bigger and better.
- Kryptonite Factor: Anti-Dragon Weapons are even more affective against him than they are against Arturia.
- Lightning Bruiser: He has top-level endurance, a Dragon Affinity that boosts that endurance even further as well as protects against status-lowering effects, a Rank-A holy sword that specializes in armor piercing, and AGI to throw it down with the rest of them. His main problem is his limited range, and the off-chance that somebody might come equipped with an Anti-Dragon Noble Phantasm.
- Only the Chosen May Wield: "Caliburn", of course, but gets more complicated due to Noble Phantasm Rules, resulting in the creation of Uther's Noble Phantasm "Caledfwlch" (Welsh for Caliburn), which is Caliburn before he stuck it in the stone. In other words, a prototype Noble Phantasm similar to the weapons found inside Gate of Babylon. Its full-power attack is basically a nerfed version of the one that kills Berserker in the Fate route, symbolic of the great power that it took for Uther to stick the sword into the stone.
- Parental Abandonment: Inverted. He entrusted his daughter to one of his knights because he was afraid the British wouldn't like the idea of a woman to rule them. When he got poisoned, he decided to resort to it anyway.
- Red Baron: "Gorlassar" (which is Welsh for "Above Heaven"), "Dragon King"
- Shout-Out: His profile is littered with struck-out "All Hail Britannia" quotes, and variations thereof.
- Strong Family Resemblance: Invoked by his RPer, who uses the appearance of Saver, Saber's male archetype character.
Mordred
Arturia's illegitimate "son", in fact a homunculus created by Morgan le Faye in order to usurp her kingdom. A Saber-class Servant partnered with Miguel, he is responsible for leading the uprising against Arturia and killing her. Thanks to a mix-up caused by the corruption of the Grail, he was implanted into a Servant vessel based on Arturia's body, thus turning him into a woman. She is in the war to get out of her 'father's' shadow by changing history.
- Breast Expansion: Technically the case, since the body she was given by the Grail is basically "Arturia, only a couple of sizes bigger".
- Expy: Her RPer lampshades how the character is an 'Arturia Clone'.
- Gender Bender: The first victim of "Arturia Syndrome".
- Lightning Bruiser: Mordred leans towards hard-hitting speedster, as she has an A++ Wave Motion Sword that slows enemies down, and her primary weakness is her average physical defense (her magic resistance is A). However, the longer the war progresses, she shifts more towards Saber Alter's Mighty Glacier, as she is an anti-hero closely connected to the dark Grail.
- Opposite-Sex Clone: Was, but not anymore.
- Status Effects: Flynning with Mordred's sword Clarent lowers her enemy's AGI by making their weapon heavier with each hit.
- Wave Motion Sword: Mordred's Clarent, at full power.
Sigurd Fafnesbane
Sigurd Fafnesbane, the last Inheritor of the Volsung lineage. Best known for slaying the Dragon Fafnir, he was cursed twice-fold, once by the Dragon's presence, sustaining him, and again by the Andvarinaut, the essence of boundless greed. Sigurd Fafnesbane would later swear fealty to the land of Burgundy, only to be betrayed by his country. Yet, he feels a semblance of regret. He fights to remove himself from the Throne of Heroes... even if the world must burn for it.
- Badass Boast: Says you won't find a servant as mighty as he!
Roland
Roland, nephew of Charlemagne, was the best paladin among the Franks. He is the wielder of the sacred sword Durandal, which is said to contain within its golden hilt one tooth of Saint Peter, blood of Saint Basil, hair of Saint Denis, and a piece of the raiment of the Blessed Virgin Mary. He is known for igniting his temples and liquifying his brains out of his ears as he blew the Oliphaunt three times, and for creating what is now known as 'La Brèche de Roland'. Brave, bold, and hot-tempered, Roland was considered a model for knights.
- Gratuitous French: His Noble Phantasms' names are all written in French.
- Lethal Chef: But only when he tries to add in new things to the dish. Otherwise he cooks fine.
- Status Buff: The second of his three miracles provide this for him.
Ogier, The Dane
- Really 700 Years Old: Has been granted eternal youth by Morgan.
Miyamoto Musashi
- Throwing Your Sword Always Works: Though he tossed it to throw enemies off guard rather then do any real damage.
Archers
General tropes for Archers
EMIYA
Yes, that Archer. He was summoned by Lumi Edelfelt using the same jewel that Rin used to summon him in the Fifth War. See his tropes on the respective sheet. Since Shirou is dead, we have no idea what he's fighting for.
Houyi
The legendary Chinese archer of lore, she's a soft spoken individual. A person with great compassion for humanity, she goes out of her way to help those in need. Her greatest feat was shooting down nine of the ten sun-birds that had wreaked havoc on the world. Her goal is to reunite with her wife, who is currently on the moon.It's a Long Story.
- Cuteness Proximity: Only seems to be this way to bunnies though.
- Gender Bender: Subverted. Houyi at first looks like a genderbent form of the myths male counter part. Then you find out she's a hermaphrodite
- Improbable Aiming Skills: This, along with her Emperor Yao bow, let her kill the Sun-Birds.
- The Quiet One: Soft spoken. Compassionate for people.
- Red Baron: "God of Archers" and "Marquis Pacifier"
Davy Crockett
The legendary king of the wild frontier and archetypical mountain man, Crockett is one of the most mellow of the Servants summoned. He is kindly and conversational to his allies, and even has some shades of The Mentor. Of course, to his enemies, he is a first class Determinator with a passion for Hot-Blooded speeches who never misses with his musket, affectionately named Bessie. Due to his death being in the lowest point in magical history, he is a lot weaker then most Servants, however doesn't let that stop him from kicking ass.
- Always Accurate Attack: Though in most cases it's unnecessary, Davy has lightning bullets which always hit
- American Accents: Appalachian type
- Determinator: Can survive blows that would make most Servants bite the dust, thanks to his Last Stand ability
- Friendly Sniper: He's really sociable and diplomatic
- Gun Kata: Capable of using this with his abilities as a servant
- Jack of All Stats: His only real weakness is that he has such lower stats then the other Servants, and has no real OHKO moves against other servants.
- Pride: One of the few Servants not to have this as a fatal flaw, as he acknowledges his faults and is more then willing to listen to better judgement
- Shock and Awe: He has special bullets as his offensive Noble Phantasm, which shoot homing lightning. Of course, he only has a few of them, and they are difficult to replace.
- Weak, but Skilled: Compared to the majority of the cast, only Jack is really weaker then him. He makes up for it by being able to hit from "Two Forum Threads Away" as his player puts it, as well as being As balanced as hell
Marian Fitzrobert
- Determinator: To the point where one of her NPs revolves around this concept.
- Just Like Robin Hood: Justified, since she was trained by him (or at least, one of the many Robin Hoods of lore)
Martha Jane Cannary Bruke aka CALAMITY JANE
- Always Accurate Attack: When pulls the trigger, it will hit someone. Whether or not the attack does damage varies from Servant to Servant.
- Improbable Aiming Skills: What lets her fight evenly with Servants.

- Four-Star Badass: Led armies into battle as one of the Knights of the Round.
- Horseback Heroism: What he specializes in.
Spartacus
Famed gladiator who took it upon himself to escape captivity and raise an army amongst the slaves.

Merlin Ambrosius
Uther's, and eventually Arturia's, court magus. A Caster-class Servant partnered with Seikou, he is a half-incubus prankster and skirt chaser who spends most of his time... well... playing pranks and chasing skirts. He's in the war just for the fun of it.

Unlike other heroes participating in the war, Dr. Heller had faded into history rather then dying in a spectacular fashion. He has no wish, only interested in inflicting more pain and suffering on to anyone he can get his hands on.
Also, he's Jack the Ripper.
- Blue-and-Orange Morality: Subverted. Jack claims to adhere to this but really he's just evil.
- Combat Sadomasochist: Non sexual example. He wants to be hurt as much as he wants to hurt other people.
- Crippling Overspecialization: Even more so than traditional Assassins from Fate/Stay Night. In the daylight he is nearly as weak as a Servant can be. In the darkness he becomes an unstoppable murder machine.
- Exactly What It Says on the Tin: His Noble Phantasms are named the same thing, only titled in German and then named in English. Example: Schatten Schritt: Shadow Stride
- For the Evulz: Tortures/Kills people for shits and giggles.
- Jack the Ripper: The man himself ladies and gentleman.
- Mad Doctor: His day job was being a physician.
- Manipulative Bastard: He's one of the most charming men you'll ever meet. Doesn't change the fact that he'll torture you the first chance he gets.
- Names to Run Away from Really Fast: "Jack the Ripper", Subverted in that he's actually one of the weakest servants in the war.
- Red Baron: "Jack the Ripper". Subverted, as he is still one of the weakest servants.
- Serial Killer: This should be obvious.
- Weak, but Skilled: Most of his skills only work during certain times of the day. And even when they're at full power/potential, they're still weaker in comparison to other Servants' powers. Is also horrible in a straight up fight (though this should be expected, given his class).
Hassan-i-Sabah XIX/Fatima Al-Faqadi
She's the last of the Hassans, who didn't really know she was a Hassan because she was conducted posthumously. She was trained at an early age by the Hashshashin, and managed to become one of the most talented assassins in the clan/organization. However a loss to her brother, the 18th Hassan, gave her an inferiority complex regarding her skills as an assassin. She died in an effort to delay the Mongolian horde from approaching the fortress Alamut, in order for the evacuation of the nearby villages to be completed. Her goal is to serve her master and making up for her failure in her last mission.

- Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": Everyone calls her Hassan-i-Sabah the 19th, but her real name is Fatima Al-Faqadi

Chevalier D'eon
An individual born in the 1700s, he was noted at a young age to have an effeminate facial and body structure. This was due to a lack of testosterone running through his system. In short, a hermaphrodite (and quiet agitated by this fact). It later proved invaluable when he was sneaking around England as a spy for the French king. His wish to go back in time and redo the day he published his letters, memories, and properties of the French king, aka expose King Louis the 15th's plot to invade England.

Attila the Hun
The genius emperor of the Hunnic empire who almost conquered Rome. A Berserker-class Servant partnered with Kosviel, he is a master tactician who also has the uncanny ability to do housework quite well. He's in the war so that he can deal with some unfinished business with the Italians afterward.

- Fanboy: Of several heroes participating in the war.

Isaak Friels
A Magus Killer contracted by Clock Tower. He's best known for his nice hat, and being a master troll. Oh, and the picture is just for reference. He insists that his hair is brown.
- Nick Name Basis: Everybody calls him "Hat Man".
Lenneth Archimedes
Quoted from the woman herself. "I'm basically Kimblee, except my schtick is "melting things and people on the verge of death are beautiful because that's what being alive really looks like" rather than "screams of agony is music to me". Yeah. That about sums her up.
- I Work Alone: Averted, is perfectly willing to have partners. Few, mind you, but still willing.
- Laser Blade: One of her spells turns her sword into a god damn lightsaber
- Pyromaniac: Has a bit of an obsession with melting things.
Victoria Devereu
Grumpy teenager who might've bitten off a bit more than she could chew by following Erin to Lucca. And she's also a wanted criminal. Since that's sort of important.
- A-Cup Angst: But don't call her flat. She'll give you cancer.
- Berserk Button: Calling her a boy, flat, or short will send her flying off the deep end.
- It Amused Me: Her reason for blowing things up.
Ciel
Yes, that Ciel. The Seventh member of the Burial Agency, she has been dispatched, along with two other agents, to supervise the Grail War. See the respective page for tropes.
Fujino Asagami
An alternate version of that Fujino Asagami, she joined the church to live a solitary life as a nun after finishing high school. Unfortunately for her, they had other plans, and decided to use her power for the Burial Agency. Along with Ciel and a third Burial Agent, She agreed to be sent to supervise the Sixth War, mostly as a legitimate excuse to quench her thirst for killing. See the respective character page for more information.
- Dual Wielding: Black Keys, but she's not that good with them.
Amadeo Giudotti
Burial Agent number four, Amadeo is a magus from a family that, in its quest for immortality, discovered a way to stop physical aging. Unable to do the same to the aging of the soul, he cut a deal with The Church to give him additional research resources in exchange for his services in the Agency. Amadeo has been active for at least two hundred years, and has developed a twisted, sadistic sense of humor. He eagerly accepted this latest mission to supervise the Grail War because he'll have an excuse to kill any extra heretics that show up.
- BFG: When the going gets tough, Amadeo whips out his semi-automatic grenade launcher that's loaded with reinforced grenades.
- Charles Atlas Superpower: Par for the course of being a Burial Agent. He ups the ante, however, by having two centuries of fighting experience and training, which allows him to top even executors of Kotomine's level.
- Dual Wielding: In true Bruial Agent fashion, three Black Keys in each hand.
- Rule of Three: Allegedly the name of a magecraft that he supposedly uses. It allows him to carry three times more Black Keys than physically possible, throw them three times faster, and allows them to 'magically' return to his Hyper Space Arsenal exactly three minutes after being thrown. This apparently parodies Ciel's abilities in the Tsukihime anime. Or is referencing the abilities of the person his face claim is.
- Status Buff: As if the high-level Charles Atlas Superpower weren't enough, Amadeo takes this even further by using Reinforcement magecraft on himself, the grenades in his grenade launcher, and his Black Keys.
- Weak, but Skilled: He doesn't have the Seventh Holy Scripture, superior magical abilities, or regenerating powers like Ciel, Mystic Eyes of Distortion like Fujino, or any other quirky powers that the other members of the Burial Agency have, but Amadeo makes up for it by being just that damn good.
Cardinal Vezzoni
The leader of the Assembly of the Eighth Sacrament and one of the bigwigs of The Church, the Cardinal personally came to Lucca, bringing with him a veritable army of Executors and Knights. His biggest priority is to keep the Grail War under control, even if it means doing terrible things to make that possible.

Klaus
Kosviel's butler. The latest unit from the venerable Klaus-Type Model of homunculi, he specialises in high-speed transportation, bodyguard duty, and most recently, the dirty work of handling modern technology. He is responsible for getting his mistress around, operating any familiars she might create so that she remains free to do other things, and of course, protect her.
- Satellite Character: He is controlled by Kosviel's RPer and more or less just revolves around her.
Kyouko Tanikawa
- Flat Character: Her profile only has a name and a picture. Nothing else.
