Paper Moon

    Bluebeard 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bluebeard_3.png
The Maiden Killer
Voiced by: Satoshi Tsuruoka
Illustrated by :Shinjirou

An infamous character originating from the french folktale of the same name. A man of many different unverifiable pasts said to have murdered countless wives. He is not Gilles de Rais of France but instead the "true" Bluebeard of fiction made manifest.

He appears in Ordeal Call 1: Paper Moon as the AI generated Zolgen's Caster-class Servant.


  • Adaptation Decay: A very deliberate case. He has Gilles' appearance and powerset, but being the villain of a very short fairy tale he doesn't have any of his background or his few humanizing qualities. He's just a nutjob who likes to butcher women.
  • The Bluebeard: The Trope Namer himself. Although due to being in a Holy Grail War, he doesn't get a chance to engage in this trope, so he "makes up" for it by having a lot of fun slaughtering the Rani A.I.s.
  • Decomposite Character: Like all servants particpating in the Paper Moon grail war, he's also an Alter Ego made from cutting off parts of of a servant's sprit origin. In this case he's the legend of Bluebeard exculsively, seperated from the historial Gilles. As such he has no memory of things the real Gilles did, like supporting Jeanne.
  • Disc-One Final Boss: He and Zolgen end up being this, as they're disposed of long before the end of the arc. The true threat is Rani and Durga (who takes it up a notch by becoming Kali).
  • Enemy Summoner: Like Gilles himself, he uses his ability to summon tentacle monsters to great effect. If anything, he is the weakest Servant in the running, but the Paper Moon system rewarding him with extra energy for civilian AI kills makes him a major threat who can overwhelm any opposition through sheer numbers (although Zolgen usually calls a retreat when they're facing more than two Servants at once).
  • Flaming Sword: He can ignite his sword with purple flames.
  • Nightmare Face: Taken to even a greater extent than Caster Gilles. Even when he initially appears identically to Gilles de Rais' Saber counterpart, the Psychotic Smirk quickly becomes his default expression and he has a tendency to spout some vicious Slasher Smiles whenever he's on the attack.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: While the Protagonist initially assumes him to be a variant of Gilles de Rais much like Medusa's Saber counterpart, he reveals he has no idea who Joan of Arc is when Sion asks him about it.

    Zolgen Makiri (Paper Moon) 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/makiri_zolgen_paper_moon.jpg
Alter Ego Invented
Illustrated by : Task Ohna

An Alter Ego AI based on the childhood appearance of Zolgen Makiri. He is the Master of Caster, Bluebeard.


  • Curtains Match the Window: Zolgen has chartreuse hair and eyes. How his hair becomes blue and his eyes crimson in his adulthood is a mystery.
  • Disc-One Final Boss: Zolgen is the most outwardly aggressive character in the chapter, he and his Servant gleefully go on killing sprees for energy. But in the end, he is just another Master in the war with no real goal aside from claiming the Holy Grail. Once he's dispatched, the hunt begins for the real Arc Villain who has grander designs.
  • Enfant Terrible: AI Zolgen proves Zelretch's assessment of Zolgen/Zouken correct as Zolgen was already a sociopathic monster even as a child. He may have mellowed out a little in his adulthood, but becoming the wizened Zouken Matou simply exposed his innate nature.
  • From Bad to Worse: When he is unceremoniously offed by Bhima and Bluebeard's Kaiju fades away, you'd expect their involvement to end there. Instead, the system reboots him under the form of Zouken Matou, and things quickly get a lot worse for everyone involved.
  • The Heavy: Invoked Trope. Because all other Masters have their own interests and aren't keen on fighting to the death, Zolgen was created expressly to cause problems on purpose so that the System Grail War wouldn't stall. To the point where when it seems like he’d be killed off without doing any lasting damage Rani XII has him resurrected after he was killed by Bhima to prevent the war from completely stalling.
  • I Was Quite a Looker: As previously seen with his London appearance, Zolgen is a decent-looking guy even in his more youthful age. Although his personality is just as rotten.
  • Jerkass: He’s an arrogant, egotistical, entitled little bastard who combines the worst aspects of Shinji and Zouken. Whether in his youthful form or as an old man, he’s easily the most despicable Master in the System Grail War.
  • Strong Family Resemblance: He looks very much like his real counterpart's grandson.
  • Token Evil Teammate: The other Masters in the System Grail War are very passive and affable. Which makes the contrast between them and Zouken’s vileness during the war stand out all the more.

    Rani XII

AI of the Inner World Paper Moon
The New Dust of Osiris
Voiced by: Asami Sanada
Illustrated by : Wada Arco

An AI that plans to mass produce Servants by dividing them and turning them to Alter Egos. Originally appearing as the System Grail War's overseer managing the Truce Zone, in reality, she is the Master of Archer, Durga, and later converts her into the Alter Ego Kali. She is the main antagonist of Ordeal Call 1: Paper Moon.


  • Arc Villain: She and her Archer form the primary antagonistic force for Paper Moon.
  • The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard: Happily abuses her admin privileges and superior computational powers to empower Durga.
  • Evil Is Not a Toy: A fact she learns the hard way when she unleashes Kali.
  • Legacy Character: She adopts the moniker of another Well-Intentioned Extremist wielding the pinnacle of Atlas Magitek: Dust of Osiris.
  • Magic Wand: Rani wields a nekhakha aka a pharaoh's flail. Fitting as she is essentially Paper Moon's ruler.
  • Magitek: Supports her servant with powerful codecasts.
  • Meaningful Rename: After revealing her true intentions, she renames herself, becoming this game's version of The Dust of Osiris.
  • Neutral in Name Only: Notably averted. Unless every other Holy Grail War overseer in the series and despite being a Master herself, Rani XII actually is a neutral party. Her only interest is in making sure the System Grail War ends with a winner to keep her plan moving forward, and only calls upon Durga to dispose of threats to the Grail War's integrity. She only becomes an enemy after all remaining Masters and Servants call a truce and purposely throw the Grail War into suspension.
  • Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Really, the only major difference between her and BB, our other AI Killer Game Master, would be their general disposition.
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: Rani XII genuinely wants to help Chaldea, but her plan of splicing apart Servant's Spirit Origins to create Alter Ego Servants, so that the current number of Servants can increase to 4 digits, really isn't a good one. Durga/Kali demonstrates why making Alter Egos haphazardly is a bad idea.

Ordeal Call II: Id

    Britomart (Alter) 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lancerbritomartstage1.jpg
Fortress of Lamentation
Voiced by: Naomi Wakabayashi
Illustrated by : Matsuryuu

The original Britomart who was featured in The Faerie Queene. A British princess who went on a journey to Fairyland to find her beloved.

She is an Avenger-class Servant who appeared in Ordeal Call II: Id as the first of seven trials the protagonist must face.


  • Character Catchphrase: As with all the other Trial Avengers; "Ye with Heart..."
  • Generation Xerox: She and her daughter look identical. Considering the suit of armor she wears was originally hers before passing it down to our Britomart, this makes sense.
  • Stone Wall: Thanks to the Blessing of the Earth, which allows Britomart Alter's armor to effectively No-Sell any attack so long as she remains standing on the ground.

    Nitocris (Alter) 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nitocris_alter_stage3.png
The Scales of Perdition
Voiced by: Minami Tanaka
Illustrated by: Shimadoriru

The Altered form of Queen Nitocris. Unlike the one which manifested in Nahui Mictlan, this Nitocris Alter is described as a "Pure Avenger" lacking any of the madness which defines the Alter we are familiar with.

She appeared in Ordeal Call II: Id as the second of seven trials the protagonist must face.


  • Alternate Self: To the playable Nitocris Alter. This one notably lacks any of the original's compassion, and is said to be made of "Pure Flame" like the other Avengers.
  • Character Catchphrase: "Ye with Heart..."
  • Mirror Match: Is finally defeated after the protagonist summons the real Nitocris Alter to confront her hostile double.

    Theodoric the Great (Alter)

Ruler of the Wild Hunt
Illustrated by : Usagi Routo
A form of King Theodoric the Great, King of the Ostrogoths who founded the Ostrogothic kingdom in Italy. Initially sent by Emperor Zeno to invade Italy, he betrayed him and made himself king.

  • Hellish Horse: He rides the Beast of Gevaudan, who appears as a fiery two headed horse.
