History Characters / FateGrandOrderCosmosInTheLostbeltVillains

* {{Retcon}}: Originally it was stated that for all the hype around ORT's strength, some of the other Ultimate Ones were stronger than it, however, the character notes for it in the Type-Moon Ace volume released after Lostbelt 7 has it described as the strongest being in space and the whole Nasuverse

* AlwaysABiggerFish: The last story {{Kaiju}} boss Chaldea fought is a very wrathful and powerful Berserker class Celtic God who gave the player base '''tons''' of grief. Then, ORT comes along and blows Cernunnos out of the water. For bonus points, ORT's default Saint Graph is classified as a Foreigner, which the Berserker class is ''weak'' against. In fact, of all the enemies Chaldea has fought over the years (Servants, Grand Servants, Beasts and Gods), ORT stands in a league of its own and can potentially defeat ''all of the above'', and more, quite possibly at the same time. Dumuzid even claims that Sefar, scourge of all of Earth's gods, is nothing compared to this ORT that's in power-saving mode. Ironically it is actually a massive relative step-down in difficulty gameplay-wise because outside of the FinalBossPreview, dealing 1-3 million damage over a dozen times unimpeded is actually easier than having to deal with the curse gimmicks Cernunnos uses along with not having to deal with the Berserker class modifier all the time.
-->'''Dumuzid''': Ereshkigal, you did well.... You fought so hard you became one with Kur...no, it would be no exaggeration to say that you were fighting as Kur itself. You would have even repelled the vanguard of a civilization-reaping planet. But this time it was just a bad match up. Truth be told, that thing ''eats'' planets. It couldn't have been defeated by anything from Earth.

* AntagonistTitle: After ORT awakens in full, the title of Lostbelt No. 7 changes from Golden Sea of Trees Travelogue, Nahui Mictlān, to Forest of Emptiness Travelogue, ORT Xibalba, as it terraforms the entire Lostbelt into its Crystal Valley.

* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: Its body appears to be completely black with blue flames streaming out of it, as well as appearing to have huge amounts of segmented sections within it. Given it's the Ultimate One of the Oort Cloud, aka a spherical asteroid belt surrounding the whole Solar System, this makes sense. The segmentation befits the loads of asteroids in it, the blue flames are reminiscent of comet tails (as comets tend to travel through the Oort Cloud to reach the Solar System), essentially making ORT the living embodiment of the barrier between the Solar System and insterstellar space, effectively designating this thing as the ultimate wall between humans and the rest of the universe.

* ClimaxBoss: Lostbelt ORT is the final major threat faced in the ''final'' Lostbelt, and thus also final enemy the heroes must face before the story climax. It is also, without question, the single longest and most intense fight in the entire game, functioning as a ''single player'' raid battle where the player uses an entire ''army'' of Servants to try and whittle away at it.
* ControllableHelplessness: The first fight with it halfway through Lostbelt 7 is initially portrayed as strange, but winnable with ORT "only" having 1 Million HP with a weird cluster icon under its HP bar. Then you deplete that health bar and see the fresh hell you're in for: that cluster icon is a new Break Bar that splits into '''nine more''', and the new HP bar fills up to ''10'' million, with each bar past that getting more absurd. It also gains unremovable buffs after the first break that immunize it to debuffs, fully charges its NP every turn, and doubles its Attack power. Hacking has shown that the fight is ''theoretically'' winnable as ORT has no other gimmicks here, but there is simply nothing in the game that can withstand this onslaught. The fight ends when your party is defeated after breaking the initial Break Bar.

* TheDreaded: Both the game and the ''entire franchise'' go out of its way to emphasize just how ''feared'' ORT is. The two incarnations of ORT present in FGO are both these:

** In the Lostbelt, nobody other than the Foreign God before losing her memory, Daybit, and Tezcatlipoc is thrilled at the thought of it awakening. When Tezcatlipoca uses his RealityWarper powers to briefly materialize a possible future of its awakening, everyone is understandably nervous of it. Even ''Camazotz'' who defeated it the first time doesn't fancy his chances of doing so again, and wanted to prevent it from happening.

* EvilIsNotAToy: The Foreign God entered the 7th Lostbelt with the intention of acquiring ORT's power for herself. Though she ends up [[LaserGuidedAmnesia losing her memories]] plus [[WorfHadTheFlu a good chunk of her power]] long before an actual confrontation, when Tezcatlipoca materializes a FlashForward vision of ORT's awakening she tries to attack it with her black hole, [[WorfBarrage only to do barely anything to it]] and being overwhelmed by its retaliation. Once the future vision ends, the Foreign God is left horrified by the scale of ORT's power and capacity for destruction [[note]]keep in mind that the Foreign God with her power levels had already succeeded in exterminating most life on the planet in the span of a week [[/note]].

* GoldColoredSuperiority: It's eventually revealed that its true coloration for its UFO body is gold and its final form as Grand Foreigner is a gold colored humanoid alien.
* GreaterScopeVillain: The Lostbelt ORT serves as this for Act 1 of Lostbelt No. 7 as it's still sleeping. Daybit and Tezcatlipoca both wish to awaken it for their own purposes, so Chaldea must resolve the situation as fast as possible, or failing that prepare to fight it in a gruelling existential battle. Once it's revealed this ORT actually ''ate'' the Tree of Emptiness and became the Lostbelt's CosmicKeystone, it officially becomes the Lostbelt's ArcVillain.

* HorrifyingTheHorror: '''Everyone''' is scared shitless of this thing. Even the people who want to unleash ORT or [[HijackingCthulhu want to control it]] acknowledge [[GodzillaThreshold that it is an absolute last resort to prevent]] CHALDEAS from completing Marisbury's Grand Order. You know it's bad when the stoic protagonist who has SeenItAll at this point ''has'' to pick the options that form the folllowing lines.

* InscrutableAliens: Besides answering the call from the planet to exterminate humanity, it has absolutely no way of communication with Earth's native lifeforms and vice versa, and all aspects to the alien have otherwise been inferred from the few disastrous attempts to interact with it while slumbering. This inability to communicate makes its truly alien mindset unable to really change and adapt to Earth's own sensibilities, unlike various other entities who have encroached upon Earth in the many millennia throughout history, all of which either [[GoingNative adapt to humanity]], have a close enough mindset, or at least have behaviors and languages graspable by humans. Its separated heart ends up pulling a Type Venus and becomes a god with a very human mindset, suggesting it might not be impossible to understand it, but this only happens ''after'' it successfully reduced the Lostbelt's humanity into extinction.

* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: Canonically, Chaldea throws ''every Servant they know of who could logically be sent'' (read: anyone who was not totally erased from existence, such as Solomon and Musashi) against ORT as it makes its trek through Mictlan. [[NighInvulnerability This doesn't really do much more than slow down its advance]], until its body is destroyed from the Hume-Barrel Rayproof. The Servants do have a better chance against its Grand Foreigner Servant incarnation, but killing that just prompts it to summon another.

* NormalFishInATinyPond: Unfathomably powerful as ORT undoubtedly is, considering it's the "biggest fish" of its own personal pond by virtue of being the Oort Cloud's UltimateLifeForm, it's just one out of at least eight other Ultimate Ones who have yet to arrive on the planet since Gaia hasn't died at this point in time. Supplementary material suggests it might not even be the strongest one! What makes ORT such an anomaly is that it inexplicably chose to arrive on Earth thousands (or in the Lostbelt tens of millions) of years before it was supposed to and, as a result, humanity is nowhere ''near'' ready to handle something with its kind of power.

* PowerfulButIncompetent: Its biggest weakness is that for all its ridiculous array of powers, it doesn't have the intelligence to use them effectively. ORT could easily have regenerated a new heart after Camazotz tore its first one out, but its instinct is to prioritze taking it back over regeneration so long as the heart still physically exists elsewhere. This buys the Lostbelt every precious bit of time they need to defeat it as ORT takes the long way to Mictlan's sun.

* SelfInsertFic: InUniverse. As a last ditch effort to survive, ORT use the Tree of Emptiness it consumed to quite literally invent a timeline where it was revered as a "hero" in order to create a Servant version of itself, which was inserted into the Throne of Heroes and then summoned to fight Chaldea.

* StoryBreakerPower:''Yep.'' '''Absolutely.''' It is been stated throughout the franchise and shown in actual gameplay that it would absolutely kill anything and everything that's thrown at it if it was at full power. Many of the major events in the entire history of the Lostbelt revolves solely around ''nerfing'' it and preventing it from simply regenerating its heart. The story outright wouldn't be possible otherwise.

* TheUnfought: It's final form, the Starcell, ultimately isn't fought in gameplay. Due to Chaldea already running on fumes [[MarathonBoss from fighting several of ORT's forms and the Grand Foreigner at this point]], it's ultimately defeated by Kukulkan's Noble Phantasm before it has the chance to fight.

* WeakButSkilled: Lostbelt ORT is this in comparison to itself from Proper Human History, at least by the time it is finally defeated. Strictly speaking, its original self has superior stats due to possessing its heart, and having interacted with enough beings that it has a massive amount of power assimilated. Lostbelt ORT however, due to its exotic diet of Servants and a whole Tree of Emptiness, can not only call upon the abilities of whatever Servant it devours but is also able to figure out how to perform Heroic Spirit Summoning, and thanks to the powers of the Tree of Emptiness is able to personally uphold its own timeline and even simulate new ones to create custom Servant versions of itself for it to use its newfound summoning ability on. Even its ability to transform the landscape to suit it goes from just recreating its homeland to being able to make new Trees of Emptiness, which is arguably more disastrous for the mess all those Trees would make if they reach maturity.
* WorfHadTheFlu: Due to missing its heart, Sion states this ORT is still not as powerful a threat as the one still slumbering in Proper Human History. Nasu later added that between it and the Foreign God, as long as there was no interference, the Foreign God could have taken over Ort without trouble. The battle against it is a race to defeat it before it can get its heart back, but as it turns out even weakened it is still ultimately beyond Chaldea and the Lostbelt's ability to handle, requiring the VillainsDyingGrace of the Foreign God ''and'' the HeroicSacrifice of the Lostbelt King to kill it at last.
* WorldsStrongestMan: It's been hyped up as the strongest being on Earth, a humanity killer to rival Primate Murder, and has more than enough power to destroy the planet with likely only a middling amount of effort. According to Sion, if Chaldea is Level 50 and the Foreign God (who is explicitly a PlanetDestroyer with her black hole generation feats) is 1000, then ORT is an astonishing ''10,000''. In fact, ORT is ''so'' strong that a mere fragment of it summoned is considered to be a ''Grand Servant'', putting it on a level comparable to Solomon, Super Orion, and Romulus-Quirinus, though perhaps it is more appropriate to say ORT is to these servants what the Grand Servants are to ''everyone else''.

* WeakButSkilled: Lostbelt ORT is this in comparison to itself from Proper Human History, at least by the time it is finally defeated. Strictly speaking, its original self has superior stats due to possessing its heart. Lostbelt ORT however, due to its exotic diet of Servants and a whole Tree of Emptiness, can not only call upon the abilities of whatever Servant it devours but is also able to figure out how to perform Heroic Spirit Summoning, and thanks to the powers of the Tree of Emptiness is able to personally uphold its own timeline and even simulate new ones to create custom Servant versions of itself for it to use its newfound summoning ability on. Even its ability to transform the landscape to suit it goes from just recreating its homeland to being able to make new Trees of Emptiness, which is arguably more disastrous for the mess all those Trees would make if they reach maturity.
* WorfHadTheFlu: Due to missing its heart, Sion states this ORT is still not as powerful a threat as the one still slumbering in Proper Human History. The battle against it is a race to defeat it before it can get its heart back, but as it turns out even weakened it is still ultimately beyond Chaldea and the Lostbelt's ability to handle, requiring the VillainsDyingGrace of the Foreign God ''and'' the HeroicSacrifice of the Lostbelt King to kill it at last.

* EvilIsPetty: Why does she do everything she can to kill Morgan and later Cnoc na Riabh? Why does she cause rampant chaos without caring for who pays the cost, be it her allies and people, Chaldea or Britain itself? Simply because she wants to be the best and most beautiful faerie. Albeit that ''not'' being the best fairy will literally kill her... but she never seems to try making herself better or learning from them to make herself into something more lovable rather than killing everyone who threatens to take the crown.

** He doesn't care what will happen to his constituents when the calamity comes to his city and insists that their "sacrifice" is unavoidable, but even he immediately rejects Beryl's idea to send the refugees to be playthings for the National Slaughterhouse Theatre.

* ExplainExplainOhCrap: [[spoiler:After fleeing Salisbury in the wake of Cnoc na Riabh's assassination, Spriggan enters into a panic, accepting that while he himself had plans to have her killed at one point ''this'' was not the moment to get rid of her as the Great Calamity is right around the corner and a civil war is the last thing they need. It's only as he muses how blatantly StupidEvil this act was that he finally realises how petty and short-sighted Aurora really is.]]

* ALighterShadeOfBlack: [[DownplayedTrope Not by much]], but Spriggan [[spoiler:despite proving the case he's for HumansAreBastards with how Machiavellian he is]] is still better than [[spoiler:[[HateSink Aurora]] at the end of the story because he's at least explores PragmaticVillainy and has the greater good of Faerie Britain in mind instead of the sheer StupidEvil that Aurora commits in the name of her [[ItsAllAboutMe vanity]] that sabotages everything and makes it far easier for Oberon Vortigern to lay waste to the entire Lostbelt.]]

* TheBadGuyWins: Though not in the way she wanted, she perishes with her grace and position intact. As the last living faerie in Britain, she dies as its most beautiful, most beloved, and most brilliant creature.

** The Child of Prophecy and the Chaldeans seem to have a workable plan that could actually save Fairy Britain? Too popular, they have to die now. This means that not only was Chaldea unable to get any copy of Rhongomyniad in time ([[ShaggyDogStory though that was also a futile endeavour]]), but also that their plans to evacuate fairies to Proper Human History was ruined.

* OhCrap: The first time he's visibly terrified is when [[spoiler:a half-dead Morgan kills all his forces by herself. Were it not for Aurora's untimely false allegations, she certainly would have gone for him next.]] The second time is [[spoiler:when Cnoc Na Riabh is poisoned and slandered during her coronation, which results in her death and the outbreak of a civil war right at the worst moment possible.]]

* BadassCape: Has a very dark, opposing one.

* FaceDeathWithDignity: Surprisingly, as the end closes in on him, Spriggan stops ranting about art, composes himself, and smirks as he realizes [[spoiler: the true mastermind behind Faerie Britain's downfall is Oberon before his house collapses on top of him.]]

* WhatYouAreInTheDark: When she's alone in her estate and bleeding out, she has a brief moment of holding up her pretenses of being a good fairy, but upon it becoming apparent she's truly alone, she immediately showcases the vile creature she always was. She muses on how lying and scheming weren't crimes but the cost of living, how even showing compassion was a calculated act, her actual revulsion towards Mélusine and how much she enjoyed making her suffer by not returning her affection. But in the process, she also reveals that she does have a smidgeon of self-awareness buries in the ash-heap of self-delusion in her mind, and that she knows that she's an awful person the world is better off without, and that she's glad Mélusine is flying high at the end.

* ALighterShadeOfBlack: [[DownplayedTrope Not by much]], but Spriggan [[spoiler:despite proving the case he's for HumansAreBastards with how Machiavellian he is]] is still better than [[spoiler:[[HateSink Aurora]] at the end of the story because he's at least explores PragmaticVillainy and has the greater good of Faerie Britain in mind instead of the sheer StupidEvil that Aurora commits in the name of her [[ItsAllAboutMe vanity]] that sabotages everything and makes it far easier for Oberon-Vortigern to lay waste to the entire Lostbelt.]]

* BeatStillMyHeart: [[spoiler: After being defeated by Percival, Beryl and Baobhan Sith ambush him with the former taking away his Fae heart by tricking Baobhan Sith into using a [[BlackMagic curse that will rot away her soul]] without the latter's knowledge. Despite this, he manages to survive and make it to Salisbury and then to Camelot itself.]]

* TheVamp: She ruthlessly exploits Woodwose's attraction to her on multiple occasions. The first time is when she invites him to dinner right before the heroes attack Norwich, ensuring that he won't be able to send reinforcements from Oxford until it's too late. The second time is when Woodwose barely escapes Londinium and Beryl with his life. Aurora then lies to Woodwose that Morgan sent him to die to Percival, and says that the reinforcements Morgan promised never showed up as proof of her claims. Woodwose falls for its hook, line, and sinker, and strikes the first blow against Morgan in the plot that leads to her death.

[[caption-width-right:350:]]

* HateSink: With her true colors exposed, Aurora turns out to be an utterly horrible and vile bitch, and is easily the ''worst'' out of all of the already-nasty faeries. Almost everything spelling out Fairy Britain's doom can be traced back to her in some way, shape or form. This includes in chronological order; spelling out the doom of Aesc's last attempt to unify Britain peacefully through poison and slander, annihilating the Mirror Clan despite how they aid the longevity of the land and fairies, ordering her soldiers to slaughter the civilians left behind at Londinium due to the Round Table Army's popularity, leading to Morgan's death through slander and lies, causing Cnoc na Riabh's death through poison and slandering her and Chaldea, and finally leaving ''everyone'' who loved her to die and ordering Melusine to take her out of the Lostbelt to avoid death.

* FantasticRacism: While her vanity (see ItsAllAboutMe) is the reason for a majority of her actions and the consequences thereafter, she also expresses thinly-veiled contempt towards Morgan, Altria Caster and Cnoc na Riabh for the reason that they are faeries explicitly not born of the Six Faeries of the Beginning, and thus not of the same 'race' of faeries as the rest are. As such, she treats them like they are beneath her and [[EvilIsPetty should be killed]]. And she naturally sees humans as little more than cattle and betrays the Round Table Army, having hers kill them while noting how "humans should know their place", going as far as to denote Proper Human History is filled with "weak, filthy humans".

* FalseFlagOperation: She stages a surprise attack on Londinium with her own men and Melusine masquerading as Morgan's Army, which results in the deaths of Gareth and the city's entire civilian populace.

** Uther is about to become a kind King of Britain and unite the land to end the war at last? Too popular, he has to die now. This leads to Aesc becoming Morgan.[[note]]While not stated, it is strongly implied that Aurora was ultimately responsible for Uther's death. Mash notes his assassination is a 1:1 recreation of Cnoc na Riabh's, and Aurora has lived 3,000 years and was the head of the Wind Clan at least by the time of Uther's coronation.[[/note]]

* AllTakeAndNoGive: Her relationship with Mélusine boils down to this. Every atrocity that Mélusine committed in her service, no matter how heinous and soul-tearing was for her, was done to make her happy in hopes that her affection was returned in at least some manner, something that Aurora deliberately never did because she [[{{Sadist}} enjoyed the suffering she inflicted on her.]]

* HumansAreBastards: [[spoiler:In a Lostworld where most [[TheFairFolk fae have completely psychopathic child-like demeanor]], Spriggan reminds us that people like him can just be equally as bad as them at times, which is not helped that unlike most humans in the Lostworld, he isn't a clone of Cernnunos' priest and instead a human who came from outside the Lostworld, meaning that he had full control of his actions, and only Beryl Gut surpassing him in cruelty.]]

** See that UFO hanging over its head? That's ORT's true body; the spider form is nothing more than an appendage made from waste cells akin to keratin that it can regenerate with ease.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: What ultimately leads to its defeat. After pulling out all the stops to defeat even this weakened version of ORT, it is still too much for Chaldea and everyone in the Lostbelt. The only reason it is finally beatten is because its still living heart -- which had gained sentience -- blew itself up and TakingYouWithMe. Otherwise, it would have trounced the opposition.

* TokenHuman: [[spoiler:Among the Fairy clan leaders, and by extension Morgan's inner circle, Spriggan is the only human amongst them, having found ways to masquerade himself as an Earth Clain fairy.]]

** [[spoiler:Upon realizing her true nature as someone who will unthinkingly kill even the one faerie in Britain capable of fending off the incoming Calamity just because that person was stealing the spotlight from her, he calls Aurora a monster.]]

* VocalTic: During an interview for the game's 7th Anniversary, Nasu joked that Cernunnos used to talk by peppering his dialogue with parts of his name tacked on to other words back when he was alive.

* BeatMyHeartStill: [[spoiler: After being defeated by Percival, Beryl and Baobhan Sith ambush him with the former taking away his Fae heart by tricking Baobhan Sith into using a [[BlackMagic curse that will rot away her soul]] without the latter's knowledge. Despite this, he manages to survive and make it to Salisbury and then to Camelot itself.]]

** His introduction paints him as villainous and warlike yet also has him show disdain for Baobhan Sith's wanton killings. He also immediately joins the other clan heads' opposition to Beryl's suggestion that Norwich's refugees be sent to the National Slaughter Theatre.

** He doesn't care what will happen to his constituents when the calamity comes to his city and insists that their "sacrifice" is unavoidable, but even he immediately rejects Beryl's idea to send the refugees to be playthings for the National Slaughter Theatre.

* PleaseDontLeaveMe: Cernunnos' Charge Attack is simply called "Please don't go" where he lets out a curse-channeling cry of agony. Exactly who he is crying out to (The Priestess, the Faeries, or Morgan, thanks to Baobhan Sith's influence) is not made clear, though.
* ThePowerOfHate: The curses emanating from his body are stated by Merlin to be a manifestation of his wrath towards the faeries who betrayed him as well as their descendants. This hate is so potent that when Faerie Britain was first founded, some faeries would just drop dead for no reason. The others realized it was because of the curses of Cernunnos, and they tried to expand their land and get away from his corpse as fast as possible, which is why the Great Pit is in the middle of Faerie Britain. A big plot point in Act 3 is appeasing his wrath by having the Avalon le Fae correct the sins of the faeries and complete her mission of forging Excalibur, which would weaken his curses enough for Chaldea to handle in battle. As well, it's part of why he's so explicitly hard as a boss. As Nasu says in an interview, his level of difficulty as a boss is matched by his hatred of the fairies. And as many can attest to by how hard he was, '''he really hates the fairies.'''
