7!!!Servant: Arturia Pendragon (Saber)
8
9[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shirou_emiya.jpg]]The original protagonist of Fate/Stay Night, although now he's not so much the main character as he is one of them. He became famous in the Mage world after his destruction of the Grail, and as a result has been sought out by several individuals in the Magus Wars. His primary goal is, understandably, to put a stop to the Magus Wars and end the killing.

15%% * BewareTheHonestOnes
16* DeadpanSnarker: Has his moments. Most of them are in his inner monologue, or in the narration as it describes his thoughts.
17%% * {{Determinator}}
18* HappilyAdopted: It helps that he has no memories of his real parents, and idolised Kiritsugu, his foster father.
19* {{MyGreatestFailure}}: Toyed with. Ilya's death a year after the Grail War hit him hard. He and Taiga had adopted her, and Shirou could do nothing to save her because of her body's degradation as a homunculus. Ultimately, though, he resolved to live on and make her proud of his actions.
20* ObliviousToLove: He's even more oblivious to Sakura's affections for him than he was before because of his feelings for Saber. Even in the year-and-a-half before the story started where Saber wasn't even around.
21* RealMenWearPink: Wears a Pink Apron when cooking, and a Black Apron whenever he's at work.

Due to her unique Noble Circuits, she is capable of a level of prana far greater than even an advanced Magus. Vindictive and cold, she desires to use the Magus Wars to weed out the Magi she despises as weaklings and transcend all other Magi in the Wars. Despite intending to summon Heracles, her sheer magical power meant that she called Gilgamesh to her instead, and her resemblance to Enkidu has helped ensure his acceptance of her as a Master.

29The closest thing to a main villain, she is played by Saska, the head Administrator.

38* SerialKiller: Self-explanatory, almost. She's not opposed to killing other Mages -- or civilians, for that matter, if she feels like it.
39* ShelteredAristocrat: Also subverted. All Barthomeloi are like this; snobby, superior, arrogant about their lineage. Can anyone blame them?

48
49[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/DeathNoteMisaMisa_5883.jpg]]An average-level Magus hailing from Wales. Cassiondra is particularly skilled elemental control, revolving around the control of the fire and water elements, along with dabbling in an area of Magecraft known as 'psionics' from her Greek heritage. Known for a very straightforward, logical personality and way of speaking, she came to Fuyuki City in search of Shirou Emiya after months tracking him down, looking for answers as to why he destroyed the Holy Grail.

67!'''Rin Tohsaka'''
68!!!Servant: EMIYA (Archer)
69
70Head of the Tohsaka family of Mages, keeper of the lands around Fuyuki, and participant in the Fifth Holy Grail War. As she was aware of the Magus Wars, Rin was able to prepare somewhat for their eventual occurrence in Fuyuki. The second person to summon a Servant, Rin was able to puzzle out that the Servant system was working again and resummon her Servant from the previous war. She remains just as Tsundere as ever.

75
76* BrainyBrunette: She was the first person to deduce that the Servant system in Fuyuki was working again, as opposed to Sierra (who already knew) and Shirou (who stumbled into it).
77* TheGadfly: In a notable example: Shirou comes to her house late at night with a pair of Sabers in tow. She tells Archer to throw a rock at him. He throws a shingle. She doesn't mind, and promptly trolls him when he points out that could have caused serious damage if it hit him.

84
85[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/HakunoTvtropes_6752.png]]A canon character, originally from {{VideoGame/FateExtra}}. Born with a rare brain disease that afflicted Hakuno with memory loss, his parents were approached by a scientist/doctor named Twice H. Pieceman[[note]]Also from Extra[[/note]], who agreed to treat his condition if they would recover and share the Holy Grail for him. They began their search just as the Fourth War was finishing, and were killed in the fire that concluded it. Twice became the boy's foster father and began grooming him to enter the Fifth Holy Grail War and win the Grail for him, a plan which failed as he was unable to summon a Servant in time. With the events of the Magus Wars, Twice assumed that the Sixth Holy Grail War had begun, and instructed Hakuno to summon a Servant and fight. Hakuno, determined not to let his foster father or extended family down, did exactly that.

89----
90
91%% * ApologisesALot: For ''thinking'' about lewd things regarding Saber.
92* BeneathTheMask:
93** Haku is quite awkward around his Servant, and generally seems to be a well-to-do student with average grades and normal friends.
94** In Magus Mode, Haku's a true Determinator, eager to find the Holy Grail in whatever form it's manifested itself in. Granted, this is likely something Twice forced into him, as he shows hints of regretting how far he feels he has to go in order to accomplish his goals.
95* BewareTheNiceOnes: His kind demeanor and lack of experience doesn't make him any less of a badass when he breaks out the Fire Magecraft.
96%% * CurtainsMatchTheWindow
97* {{Foil}}: To Shirou, to an extent. His family doesn't have a specific focus on any type of magic, compared to Shirou who is hyper-specialized in one specific type. He acts like Shirou does at the start of Fate, particularly in regards to his somewhat careless approach to Mastership and the War, whereas Shirou is more experienced. And, on a meta-level, they're both the protagonists of other works.
98%% * IaijutsuPractitioner
99* JackOfAllStats: The Kishinami family of Mages is known for producing well-balanced, competent Mages, lacking any particular specialization. Less true for Hakuno himself, who focuses on fire magic.
100* PlayingWithFire: All of Hakuno's spells use fire to an extent, sometimes in conjunction with other elements.

103
104!!Waver Velvet
105!!! Servant: Iskandar (Rider)
106
107One of the survivors of the Fourth Holy Grail War, and Rin's former Master at Clock Tower. After the end of the Fourth War, his experiences with Iskander and his growth as a human being lead to him shaking off his whiny, narcissistic attitude and developing into a strong-willed, intelligent man. Ten years after the War's end, he returned to Clock Tower, and assisted the Archibald family, of his former lecturer at Clock Tower (killed during the Fourth War), in recovery, despite his lethal relationship with the former family head. As a reward, he was named Lord El-Melloi II, and became one of Clock Tower's finest lecturers. A mix of duty and curiosity lead to him returning to Fuyuki: as the head of the Archibald family, he was obligated to fight on their behalf, but more pressingly he is curious about the irregular nature of both this Servant War, and the war that preceded it a year-and-a-half ago. Naturally, the first thing he did was resummon his former Servant.
108
109----
110
111* BadassTeacher: All of Waver's students attain, at minimum, the rank of 'Grand' within Clock Tower's hierarchy. Grand is the highest rank there is. He also has an incredible skill for detecting and training the affinities of his students.
112* CharacterDevelopment: Iskander had a profound effect on him, and as a result Waver kept growing, into a highly-astute, respected and intelligent lecturer.
113* HumbleHero: He's rather annoyed with his popularity and prestige.
114%% * NonActionGuy: Waver still isn't really a fighter; his skills are in other aspects. His students, on the other hand...
115* RobotMaid: His Mystic Code (which he inherited from Kayneth), Volumen Hydragyrum. He promptly improved it by modifying its functions to take humanoid form, which generally takes the shape of a Swedish woman in {{Meido}} dress. It is called Maid Golem.

122
123!!Sakura Matou
124!!! Servant: Lancelot-du-Lac (Berserker, joint-Mastership with Zouken Matou)
125
126The timid, gentle underclassman of Shirou and Rin, who developed a crush on Shirou several years ago. After Shinji's death in the Fifth Holy Grail War, Zouken's focus shifted entirely to Sakura, attempting to slowly break down the resolve Shirou had given her. He failed, but as a result she's become even more adept at hiding her emotions and presenting the face she wants others to see. Along with Zouken, she is the Master of Lancelot, providing the Berserker with prana and holding three back-up Command Spells even though the Knight is contracted with Zouken. Whilst Zouken's aims are currently unclear, Sakura is slowly attempting to move from her position as one of Zouken's pawns to a player in her own right - and above all, she wants to protect Shirou.
127

129
130%% * AbusiveParents: It really cannot be stressed enough how much of a bastard Zouken is. Ever since Shinji's death, his focus has shifted entirely to her.
131%% * BewareTheNiceOnes
132* DeclarationOfProtection: Her primary motivation. She will protect Shirou, whatever it takes. She's never said it aloud, but her inner monologue makes it clear this is the case.
133* SupremeChef: She's since taken the position from Shirou, becoming an even better cook than he is.

140!!Herman Henchoz
141!!!Servant: Isuelt of Ireland (Caster)
142
143At first glance, Herman is an aging, friendly man of God. In truth, he is a man of science, a capable Magus, and a Church Executor. In him, two bloodlines meet: he has inherited the Thaumaturgical skills and style of the Courtemanche family, and has learned the prowess with a halberd from the Henchoz family. A former Executor, Herman has traveled to Fuyuki in the hopes of using the system there to reach The Root, access the Akashic Records, and determine the purpose of human existence.

156!!Malia Artzen
157!!!Servant: Tamamo-no-Mae (Caster)
158
159A Magus hailing from South America. Casual and peaceful, she was lost in the Amazon at a young age where she discovered her Mystic Eye before being rescued by a Shaman and returned to civilisation. Kind-hearted but not soft-hearted, she entered in the Magus Wars for her children's sake; she wanted to end the War without further bloodshed, and wants to stop it from harming her children. These feelings extend to others, as she dislikes seeing children and young people involved in a war. Though she was trying to summon the hero who slew the Nine-Tailed Fox, she ultimately ended up summoning Tamamo-no-Mae.

181
182[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Konachan_com_-_19925_fate_stay_night_saber_7473.jpg]] The former Servant of Kiritsugu Emiya in the Fourth War, and Shirou Emiya in the Fifth. Accidentally summoned by Shirou (again), Saber's true nature as a Spirit is again muddy - is she still a Counter-Guardian, or has she died in her own time and entered the Throne of Heroes to be summoned as a regular Heroic Spirit? Retaining all of her memories or the last war and her feelings for Shirou, Saber's primary goal now seems to be to protect Shirou and end the Magus Wars instead of fighting for the prize of the Holy Grail.

188%% * ActionGirl
189* AntiMagic: As a Servant of the Saber class, she possesses an innate ability to resist magic.
190* BadassAdorable: Granted, she's more beautiful and dignified than cute, but her sincere and honest persona is quite endearing.
191* BerserkButton: Food. Either deny her food or feed her something that's not good, and things won't end well.
192* {{Bifauxnen}}: Because her aging was stopped at fifteen, she can (and has) posed as a man, several times.
193* BigEater: Although it's partially because Shirou cannot actively provide her with prana, Arturia enjoys food, a lot, though she has to eat it in order to keep up her strength. It's as if she'll eat anything.
194* CheshireCatGrin: Although not to a powerful degree, Arturia is known to hide her anger behind an innocent smile.

203* TranquilFury: You know she's the most angry when she's smiling or just too quiet altogether. Especially if it was Shirou that pissed her off.

212!!!Master: Athanasios Zacharias
213
214[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mordredtvtropes_4825.png]] The only son of King Arthur. In legend, Mordred, manipulated by his mother, attempted to seize the throne of Britain in Arthur's absence, tearing the country apart in civil war and ultimately resulting in both his and Arthur's own deaths. He died resenting Arthur for refusing to pass the throne to him, believing he could have made a better King. Unlike his [[Literature/FateApocrypha Fate/Apocrypha]] incarnation, Mordred is male, despite his feminine appearance.

219
220* ArtificialHuman: Mordred is technically a homunculus (like Ilya), created from sperm extracted from Arturia when she was temporarily given an artificial penis by the prankster Merlin. As a result, he grew quickly, but had a much shorter lifespan.
221* CastFromHitPoints: Using Clarent Blood Arthur actually causes him blinding, debilitating pain.
222* DragonInChief: Morgan may have been the mastermind, but Mordred started, and led the rebellion that ultimately led to the downfall of Knights of the Round Table.
223* MrFanservice: Averted. Unlike Mordred in Fate/Apocrypha, a fairly standard Ms. Fanservice, Mordred in Magus Wars wears quite modest (if stylish) clothing.

233Wulfina Ecgtheowing, only daughter of Egtheo is better known as the Geatish hero Beowulf. Heir to the Swedish throne, Beowulf is famed for slaying the demon Grendel, and his mother Acennic. She rose to the throne as the King of Thanes, hailed by all across northern Europe as the greatest hero to ever live. She has been summoned as a Saber, and takes pride in the battles between heroes that is sure to come.

236
237----
238
239* AntiMagic: As with all Sabers, Beowulf also possesses the potent magic resistance befitting her class.
240%%* AmazonianBeauty: Beowulf was tall for a ''person'' in her time, never mind a woman. She is also rather attractive when not scowling.
241* {{BFS}}: Byrndennmel, the Giant's Sword. Only Beowulf had the strength to heft this EX-ranked Noble Phantasm.
242%% * BloodKnight: It's Beowulf.
243* BoisterousBruiser: She's not above expressing herself during combat. Even if only to goad her opponents.
244%% * CoolSword: Three to be exact. Hrunting, Naegling and Byrndennmel.
245* GenderBender: The Epic of Beowulf refers to the titular hero with gender-neutral pronouns. Historians have incorrectly assumed that Beowulf, like all heroes of the time, was a man.
246* {{Leitmotif}}: ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQdxPxJW68M Beowulf]]''
247%% * LightningBruiser: Despite her large muscular frame and height, she's pretty fast.
248* MasterSwordsman: Beowulf is incredibly adept at swordplay due to constant sparring with her grandfather's thanes. She was considered a better duelist than he was from the age of ''FOUR''.
249* RedBaron: ''King of Thanes'' and ''Beowulf''. "Beowulf" itself can be interpreted as "Beado-Wulf", known in Old English as a kenning, or loanword for ''The War-Wolf'', or the ''Bear-Wolf''
250* SuperStrength: She's able to lift up Byrndennmel, a sword intended to be used by the jotun. It has been suggested her physical strength would allow her to defend competently against a Berserker such as Hercules.
251* WarIsGlorious: Beowulf fought in a particularly nasty one between her people, their Danish allies and the Franks after the latter had a merry jaunt through Frisia, killing quite a lot of people to subjugate the country.

256!!!Master: Hakuno Kishinami
257
258[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nerotvtropes_2819.png]]
259Theatrical, vain, pompous and somewhat arrogant, but with a genuinely good heart and a caring relationship with her master. In life, Nero was the Fifth Emperor of the Roman Empire, remembered, perhaps falsely, as a tyrant. Originally one of the three playable Servants in Fate/Extra, she was summoned by Hakuno with the assistance of Twice H. Pieceman, and has much the same relationship with him as she did in Extra.
260
261Played by Whammy.
262
263----
264
265* {{BFS}}: Her sword, Aestus Estus, is longer than Hakuno is tall.
266%% * FlowerMotifs: Roses.
267* GenderFlip: The real-life Emperor Nero was a man. Nero Saber is a short, well-endowed female.
268* {{Mythology Gag}}:
269** Same Master/Servant pairing as in Fate/Extra, with the same relationship between them.
270** A Carnival Phantasm thread featuring Nero dragging Hakuno on a shopping spree was entitled "Nero fiddles while money burns".
271* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands:
272** A justified, unique example. Nero's giant ego means that she has the Imperial Privilege Skill[[note]]Ranked at EX, making its power unquantifiable[[/note]], which allows her to temporarily obtain skills (such as Swordsmanship, Military Tactics, Riding, and even Divinity) she wouldn't normally have as if she were born with them, up to A+ rank.
273** Taken up to eleven when she activates her Noble Phantasm, Aestus Domus Aurea; when inside it, she can freely change and improve her own skills and Parametres whilst decreasing those of her opponent,
274* PintSizedPowerhouse: A scant 150 cm tall, making her one of the smallest Heroic Spirits. This in no way impedes her power as a Servant. Just don't call her small.

283A hero of France, renowned for her unwavering faith in God who lead the French to several victories during the Hundred-Years' War before being burned at the stake at the age of 19. She passed into the Throne of Heroes and became a Counter-Guardian, willing to spend eternity as humanity's guardian and protector. Unlike her Fate/Apocrypha incarnation, Jeanne acts as a regular Heroic Spirit rather than an overseer of any war.
284
285----
286
287* AntiMagic: All Sabers have high Magic Resistance, but Jeanne takes it one step further with Rank EX. Due to her unwavering piety, nothing short of the most powerful sacraments of the Church can even touch her. Notably, unlike most other forms of Magic Resistance, Jeanne's doesn't cancel the spell outright; it just doesn't damage her.
288%% * JeanneDArchetype: Well, yeah.
289* IdenticalStranger: Nero, Arturia and Jeanne are all extremely similar in terms of appearance.
290* TooAwesomeToUse: La Pucelle, Jeanne's ultimate Noble Phantasm. It's at least as powerful as Excalibur, but she dies after using it.
291* {{Seers}}: Jeanne's Revelation skill. It functions similarly to the Instinct skill of many Servants, but encompasses not just battle, but all matters related to the achievement of a goal, allowing her to instinctual know the right choice to make to reach it.

301
302In life, Shirou Emiya, who lived his life according to his ideals of self-sacrifice and died happy. In death, a Counter-Guardian, forced to spend eternity killing the humans he became a Counter-Guardian to protect. Feeling betrayed by his ideals, Archer's goal is to kill his younger self, thereby causing a time paradox that will remove himself from his existence as a Counter-Guardian. Originally summoned in the Fifth War, he was defeated by the Berserker of the war, allowing Shirou, Saber and Rin to escape. Summoned again by Rin, his goal remains the same: kill Shirou Emiya.
303
304----
305
306%% * AntiHero: Type IV.
307* TheBlacksmith: One of his defining character traits, as it's the core ability of Unlimited Blade Works: any weapon he sees, he records, reproduces and can use.
308%% * DeadpanSnarker: Take Shirou's inner monologue from the VN, verbalise it, and you have Archer.
309* DualWielding: As opposed to a bow, his regular weapons in combat are a pair of twin swords, Kanshou and Bakuya.
310* {{Jerkass}}: Even when he's not trying to kill Shirou, he's still a dick most of the time. He does have a [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold soft spot]] for Rin though.
311* SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: Utterly despises Shirou for how he clings to his ideals, despite (and in fact because of) how Emiya himself followed those same ideals to the end and was betrayed by them.
312* LuckStat: Notable for being quite literally as low as it can go. He makes up for it with the Eye of the Mind (True) skill, allowing him excellent in-battle analysis of his opponent's forms, strategies, strengths and weaknesses.
313* WeakButSkilled: Generally speaking, Archer is one of the weakest Servants there is (unless somebody goes and summons [[VisualNovel/FateHollowAtaraxia Avenger]]). He makes up for this with the inherent advantages of his Projection Magecraft, and several lifetimes worth of experience in combat and honing his skills.

329%% * BigBad: With Sierra, technically.
330* CharacterCatchPhrase: "Mongrels"
331%% * EvilLaugh: "GUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
332* TheGoodKing: Originally, he was a fair, just and loved King. As he grew older, he became the Jerkass we all know and love. He mellowed out a bit after meeting Enkidu, but that pretty much ended after the latter's death.
333%% * GracefulLoser:
334%% * TheHedonist: Very much this in Fate/Zero, the reason he teams up with Kotomine.
335* HeroicWillpower: He took a full dose of ALL THE WORLD'S EVILS and didn't flinch. At all.
336%% * HyperspaceArsenal: The Gate of Babylon is one of these.
337%% * ILoveYouBecauseICantControlYou: Towards Saber
338%% * ItsAllAboutMe: His personality in a nutshell.
339%% * {{Jerkass}}: Towards practically everyone save for a select few.
340* LightIsNotGood: He may be called Golden Boy, and is all shiny, but he's booking on winning this time around and exterminating the unworthy (most of humanity)
341* {{Pride}}: His FatalFlaw. If he were willing to take anyone seriously, he'd be a much, much bigger threat than he is.
342%% * RedBaron: "King of Heroes".
343* RedEyesTakeWarning: A sign of his divinity, and a danger sign at that.
344%% * SemiDivine: Rank B, the actual value is A+, but he doesn't quite get along with any of the gods.
345* SmugSuper: His colossal strength and power could transform him into a much more successful villain. However, his ego manages to be even more powerful and domineering than either of those combined, leading to his downfall in all three routes.
346* StoryBreakerPower: ''Yes''. He's even more powerful than he was in Fate/Zero under Tokiomi Tohsaka because of how ridiculously powerful his new Master is, and how much magical energy she can pump into him. Literally the only way he could be more powerful is if his Master was Illyasviel von Einzbern or a similar homunculus[[note]]Sierra is described as being about halfway in power between Rin Tohsaka and Illyasviel von Einzbern[[/note]].
347%% * UnskilledButStrong: He ain't no swordsman, but knowing that won't save you from being turned into a shish kebab.
348%% * WaveMotionSword: Ea, particularly it's Enuma Elish attack.

402!!Lancelot-du-Lac
403!!!Masters: Zouken Matou (Contractor), Sakura Matou (Prana Source, Spare Command Spells)
404
405The greatest knight who ever lived. After his death, Lancelot fell into madness, his life spent in guilt and regret because of his actions in saving Guinevere. Initially summoned by the Matous in the Fourth War, he was defeated by Saber shortly before the War's end. This time, he has been summoned in a manner similar to Arturia in the Fourth War: Zouken Matou made the contract and summoned him, but his prana is supplied by Sakura Matou, who holds three Command Spells to go with Zouken's own.
406
407----
408
409%% * TheAtoner: Tried to be one in his life. It failed, and he fell into madness as a Heroic Spirit as a result.
410* BerserkButton: The sight of Arturia makes him flip out, loose all semblance of control, and focus on killing her.
411* FallenHero: A tragic example. It's because he was so heroic before his fall that he fell into madness, as he died in grief and regret without being forgiven or forgiving himself.
412* MasterSwordsman: As a result of his Eternal Arms Mastership skill, he avoided the loss of fine motor control that hinders most Berserkers, meaning he's just as good a swordsman as he was in life. Couple this with his bonuses from Mad Enhancement and Sakura providing his prana, and he's better than most Sabers.
413* NiceGuy: You get a few hints of it in what little remains of his inner monologue, when he's not completely consumed by rage. Were he not mad, he'd be one of the nicest and most polite and courteous characters on the site - he was history's greatest Knight, after all.
414* UnholyHolySword: Lancelot's sword, Arondight, was given to him by the Lady of the Lake, like Excalibur was to Saber. When he killed many of his fellow Knights, he stained it black.
