Demon (Terminology)
The 6th Imaginary Aspect. Existences born of the wishes of humans, passively (受動的な, shuudou-teki-na^?, lit. "as acted upon") called forth by human desire. Manifest phantasms (実像幻想, jitsuzou gensou^?) that take form via the aggregation of ideation (想念, sounen^?, lit. "thoughts"). For materialization (実体化, kittaika^?, lit. "manifestation to material") to occur, "a form fabricated by humans" is necessary. Not True Daemons, but existences that obtain being by the imposition of a Designation (個体名, kotai-mei^?, lit. "unit designation").
As Daemons attain true freedom upon receiving a Designation, it is a general rule that the naming of Daemons is not an act to lightly engage within.
Temporarily setting aside the outcomes of engaging with such, Daemons may be assessed as allies of humanity, who exist so as to empathize with and resolve the sufferings of humanity.

The Holy Church [Organisation name]
The hidden side of the prominent religion whose name means "universal". In Tsukihime, it is referred to merely as "The Church".
Those who teach the word of God do not acknowledge things which run counter to their doctrine. Though the public face of the Church simply treats these heresies as if they do not exist at all, there were zealots within the organization who felt they should be dealt with more proactively. This enormous division that specializes in the hunting of heresy is known as the Holy Church.
They lead the devil exterminators called Executors, and exist for just two reasons: to completely expunge all heresy, and to properly manage those mysteries that are beyond human control. Naturally, they are on bad terms with the Association, which seeks to conceal sorcery, and the two have crossed swords time and time again. (At present the two have reached a tenuous agreement, and overt hostilities have, at least for now, come to an end.) However, their real enemies are the monsters known as "bloodsuckers". For the sake of combatting this greater threat, they have even been known to cooperate with the Association on occasion.
Also, there are various jurisdictions within the Church as well. The Burial Agency, which Ciel belongs to, are like the elite commandos of heresy hunting.
Arcueid, Roa, and Ciel all have deep ties to the Church, but since Tsukihime is set in the Far East outside of the Church's influence, it serves as little more than a backdrop to the story's events.

The Holy Church [Others]
The other side of an ubiquitous major religion.
They preached the Lord's teachings, and did not tolerate anything that violated their dogma.
On the surface, they assumed "heresies" did not exist, but there were zealots amongst them who wished to ostracize the heretics.
Thus the "Heretic Hunters" were born and specialized, becoming an enormous department within the Holy Church.
They were the Executors. Their missions included Demon-slaying, elimination of heretics, and proper regulation of Mysteries that fell into the hands of the populace.
Of course, the Holy Church's relationship with the Mages' Association, whose mission was to conceal magecraft, was very poor. The two groups had crossed blades numerous times to date. (Currently there is a truce, providing a temporary respite.)
Against their greatest foe, the monsters known as vampires (READ: Blood Suckers), the Mages' Association occasionally provided assistance.
Kotomine was responsible for the control and collection of relics. He had the role of an Executor of the Assembly of the Eighth Sacrament.
The arms forces of the Holy Church consisted of the excellent fighters known as Executors, the Knights that each church held reserve, and the monsters known as the Burial Agency hidden within the headquarter of the Holy Church.
The Holy Church was the largest organization in the world of Fate. For those who fell outside of humanity, the Holy Church was the greatest enemy.

The Holy Church [Organization]
The organization that ran contrary to the "universal tolerance" of the religion.
Preaching the word of God, they absolutely did not tolerate anything against the doctrine. Although on the surface they denied the existence of "heretics", within the ranks there existed some who rejected heretics with unmatched fervor. They turned "heretic hunting" into a profession, and a immense department was established for this purpose.
"Executors" were individuals with the power to vanquish Demons. They physically eliminated things that did not exist in the Lord's teachings. On the other hand, Exorcists were individuals in the clergy who tolerated the existence of Demons, but merely temporarily repelled them.

Executors [Term]
Inquisitors of the Holy Church. Those who eliminate heresies that do not exist in the Church's doctrine.
If exorcists are those who drive out devils from the possessed, then executors are those who exterminate devils on the spot. "Not to banish, but defeat. Not to rescue, but erase." That is the ideology that drives the executors.
However, according to the Church, humans do not have the authority to defeat demons, because even demons are the creations of God. The name "executor" comes from the fact that the executors transcend that teaching, and act as God's proxy on earth to stamp out heresy.

Executors [Term]
Inquisitors of the Holy Church. Those who eliminate heresies that do not exist in the Church's doctrine.
What makes them different from exorcists is that they do not exorcize demons, but eliminate them. If exorcists are those who drive out devils from the possessed, then executors are those who exterminate devils on the spot.
Not banishing, but defeating; not rescuing, but erasing.
They are more like professional killers than priests.
However, according to the Church, humans do not have the authority to defeat demons, because even demons are the creations of God. The name "executor" comes from the fact that the executors transcend that teaching, and act as God's proxy on earth to stamp out heresy. They are an army of believers, devised of by the 120 Cardinals supporting the Pope. It wouldn't be a mistake to call them the Church's greatest treasure.

Ma (魔^?)
① Demons are a part of the law of nature itself, but their existence is unnecessary to nature since their demon powers distort the flows of natural power.
② Their existence itself is distortion, so demon hunters move to exterminate them as soon as possible.

True Demon [Circumstances]

Even in the world of Extra, the concept of Demons (悪魔の概念, akuma no gainen^?) is by humanity treated as the greatest of obstacles; so as God is to omniscience and omnipotence (全知全能, zenchi zenou^?), so as demons as an existence are to mortal levels of awareness and impotence (人知無能, Jinchi Munou^?, lit. "human intellect and impotence").

They are as an abyss (淵, fuchi^?) that lies within arm's reach, yet decisively beyond comprehension.

Distinct from those demons from Stay Night, which exist only as imitations, the real thing -- Enfleshed Demons (受肉した悪魔, juniku-shita akuma^?, lit. "Incarnated Demon") are that with which humans are incapable of competing 太刀打ちできない (tachi-uchi-dekinai, lit. "incapable of crossing swords"^?).

(※ There is in record only a single instance in which an Enfleshed Demon was forced to disperse (退散, taisan^?, lit. "disperse / retreat"), but that's a different story.)

In general, demons are existences that take possession, utilizing the corpus of a human to incarnate (受肉, juniku) and take action, but in the event that the psyche (精神, seishin^?) of the human host (苗床になる人間, naedoko ni naru ningen^?, lit. "the human that becomes a seed-bed") cannot withstand the strain, it is commonplace for self-annihilation (自壊, jikai^?) of the host to occur, dispersing the essence of the demon into the vicinity.

There exist also humans who by way of their own acts (業, gō^?, lit. "sins; worldly preoccupations / fixations / absorptions; karma") are subsumed unto the category of Demons as a result of losing their humanity; but these creatures that are said to have become Fiends (魔人, Majin^?) cannot be considered True Demons.

In the world of Extra -- whether by way of Demonic possession, or in the circumstance that one's own actions bring about a transformation -- the phenomenon whereby a True Demon is birthed unto the world has, as of present day in 2030, not been brought successful fruition even once.

Though the classifications of "Demons" and "Fiends" do exist, their manner of existence is in essence indistinguishable from that of a higher-order lifeform (高次元生命体, kou-jigen seimeitai^?, lit. "higher-dimension lifeform") that inhabits a different sphere of civilization (異なる文明圏, koto-naru bunmei-ken^?) upon a different planet (異なる惑星, koto-naru wakusei^?).

In sum, said existences can, per the recognition of the Universe of Awareness (認識宇宙, ninshiki-uchuu^?, lit. "the universe derived of observation / perception"), no longer be discerned as "human."

Their existences would approximate to that of the cosmic horrors (邪神, jashin^?, lit. "evil god") of a certain fictitious Mythos popular in the 20th century.

In the True Route of CCC, a certain individual that has undergone transmigration did indeed manage to reach this realm, but owing to a slight mistake, they were capsized from the Seat of Divinity (神の座, kami no za^?).

Gray-Clad Phantom
A masked, Assassin-class Heroic Spirit who can control snakes. He has a giant frame and spindly arms and legs. He often appears unexpectedly and even has a spell that can hold humans in thrall. Though his Master's name was revealed to be Dorothea Coyett, and their base was determined to be in Yokosuka, his true identity remains unknown.

Venomous Snake
Assassin, along with his Master Dorothea, engaged in battle with Miyamoto Iori and Saber at Yokosuka. Though he fought using several snakes of varying sizes, when Rider suddenly appeared and stole control of Great Orochi from him, Assassin and Dorothea readily fell back. As the two retreated, Assassin transformed his arm into a snake to leave Iori with a venomous bite as a parting gift.

A Test
Though hit with powerful magecraft that attempted to control him, Assassin is a Heroic Spirit associated with an ancient god. No simple spell would have been enough to control him. The reason he allowed himself to be controlled, then, was perhaps to test the caliber of his Master, Dorothea. Whatever the case, Assassin disappeared from view with a smile on his face.

True Form
Assassin transformed into a giant snake through his Noble Phantasm, Incarnation: Omen of the Great God Ibuki. Running on pure instinct, he attempted to devour the nearby residents, but Dorothea somehow managed to grab his attention. Assassin took the bait and gave chase.
Knowing that Assassin could potentially run rampant and damage the city when using his Noble Phantasm, Dorothea had devised a countermeasure. Specifically, she had used a Command Spell to make Assassin automatically target her if he ever lost control. As such, Assassin was compelled to follow after her.

Unbeknown
Even at the end, Miyamoto Iori never learned Assassin's true identity. According to Dorothea's attendant, Giovanni, Dorothea gave her life in order to vanquish the Servant.

Returned from the Underworld
Assassin's true identity was Kouga Saburou, the man cursed by the god Ibuki. A descendant of the Kouga clan, he was a mysterious man possessed of several strange abilities. He once traveled to the underworld beneath Mt. Ibuki and returned as a demon. He was summoned by Dorothea, who put confidence in his monstrous strength. Even so, he ultimately fell to a combination of Dorothea's magecraft, Iori's support, and Saber's Noble Phantasm.

Maximum Targets: —
Based on the theory that Jack the Ripper was a demon, this Noble Phantasm transforms Jack into a demon in the sense of a phantasmal species. Because it is rooted in the latent fear and unease of nearby people, its power changes in proportion to the population density within a radius of 5 km. In a desert wasteland, its strength is only equal to that of a large beast of prey. In an urban area, it displays a power equivalent to that of a marshal Servant.
Because it takes the form of a demon that humans envision as their own natural enemy, it inflicts particularly effective damage on humans.

Maximum Supplement: —
A Noble Phantasm based on the theory that Jack the Ripper was a group. Enables the creation of multiple bodies according to the Master's magical energy. The last remaining body automatically becomes the main body. It can also be said that every body is the main one. The maximum number depends on the quantity of the Master's magical energy. The number of bodies decreases in proportion to the strength of the entity transformed into.

Introduction - Mr. Dawn
Exorcist from the Holy Church. Driver of a 30-ton-class trailer.

Visits the rural town of Aylesbury together with one other exorcist, but Dawn himself does not possess demon exorcism power, and his main role is considered as the transport of the other exorcist who "easily loses their way."

Dawn has neither attack nor self-defence abilities, so his exorcism work is chiefly carried out by the "other exorcist" that he transports.

He has a sharp expression, but he has a gentle personality and good manners.

He has the appearance of a schoolteacher rather than an exorcist.

Although, it seems according to him, he does not have the capability to teach, and it would be happier for everyone to live a carefree life on their own.

A quiet pacifist. While agreeing to head into the battleground of Aylesbury, he does not carry any weapons for self-defence.

He is weak to blood and violence, and even to horror movies. Because he will freeze out of panic the moment he witnesses the scene of a heretic's massacre, the other Executors fear him as "the far and away #1 man you don't want to go on a mission with."

Explanation - Memorandum
Burial Agency Rank 5 (Provisional). The deadbeat of the Burial Agency.

(Once he is supplemented with a partner, they will both be officially Rank 5 together)

Originally head of the 5th department of development at V&V Industry.

He was an elite among elites as an engineer, but he resigned from V&V on the occasion of a certain incident, and was scouted by Narbareck, the head of the Burial Agency, upon appraisal of his achievement in resolving the incident.

Be that as it may, he's a little below average as a believer. He has enough faith to keep a Bible in the drawer, and that hasn't changed even since the incident.

He is a precious type of Excorcist, and at the present time, it's believed that there are no Exorcists that could replace him under certain conditions.

The Holy Mother's prophecy revealed that he will perform three demon exorcisms in his career.

Source: the dark six (alias)
A character from the Holy Church in Tsukihime 2, a game in Kinoko's brain.

As an Executor he has no sacrament or superpower, and no magical training, so he plays an active role as one who understands the ordinary person's side.

A worldly man worked hard by people of the Church side: "since you won’t participate in deadly battles, then die doing odd jobs."

Mainly serves as a transporter and supplier of weapons.

All the World's Desire [Noble Phantasm]
Angra Mainyu/CCC.
This is the anti-planetary Noble Phantasm Kiara gains after her reincarnation.
Angra Mainyu is the most self-serving heinous Noble Phantasm of them all where Kiara uses the world to masturbate.
Kiara offers her body in a sexual manner to all living things on Earth, including humans, animals, and plants. By completely accepting all people as is she gains the greatest possible mastery over their senses and carnality.
This Noble Phantasm is derided for being demonic and it’s similar to the living sacrifices used for certain artificial magic ceremonies used the past in order to prove the evil of humans.
It is a vortex of pleasure that melts all sentient beings, and digests their “life” in an instant. While in reality it all happens in an instant, but it feels like an eternity of pleasure.
Regardless of how different the structure of a beings intelligence may be, this vortex affects all without exception. It is not a Noble Phantasm that is limited to affect only those on Earth.
The damage increases if certain conditions are met.
If the target is of the opposite sex, the damage increases.
The more intelligent a being is, the more damage it does.
As far as the setting and lore are concerned, the Servant who would be hit with the least damage would be Archer, and Gilgamesh would be damaged the most.
The reason why this attack’s power, visuals, and scale are so huge is because reincarnated Kiara is a being similar to Saver.
People who devote their life to bringing salvation to Sattvas (living things) are referred to as Bodhisattvas. People who have attained moksha (libertation/release) and become Buddhas are also Bodhisattvas. A Bodhisattva is a god of universe scale and power, and can easily manage things on the scale of the Solar System.
Buddhism has a sense of scale of the universe that stands out from that of other religions. There are concepts like Nayuta (1060) and “The Infinitely Vast Number” (1068) which were created to represent the scale and size of a Buddha.
The entire universe is the domain of a Buddha. In Buddhism the universe in considered to be made up of three billion solar systems (a great trichiliocosm). A galaxy comprises of 3000 solar systems (a small trichiliocosm), and 1000 small trichiliocosms make up a trichiliocosm.
This actually aligns with the real scale of galaxies, galaxy clusters, and super clusters.
India had this stuff figured out over 2000 years ago? Holy crap!
In the initial design phase of the game I submitted some paperwork describing this Noble Phantasm. I thought there would be no way that this gets by CERO untouched, but surprisingly enough it did.
I still have no idea how this was able to make it past them.

Siegfried, the Dragon-Blooded Knight
He is the hero portrayed as the main character of the German Nibelungenlied epic. Prince of the Netherlands, he wields the precious sword Balmung which he received from the Nibelungen family, and has fought in many campaigns and adventures. His most well known feat is killing the evil dragon Fafnir. He then bathed in the blood of the dragon, and has obtained an invincible body. His personality is truly that of a noble knight. But because he never speaks a word, it is unknown what he really thinks.

Legend
Siegfried has been in battles ever since he was a young man, and he has gained an invincible body from his victory over Fafnir in battle for the treasure of the Nibelungen family. But when he bathed in the dragon's blood, a tree leaf stuck to his back, making it his one weak point. Adding to the growing ranks of the Burgundians, he brought them many victories, and married Kriemhild, sister of the Burgundian king, accessing the throne of Netherlands. But after a trick to marry the Burgundian king to the queen of Iceland, Brünnhilde, he was assassinated by a vassal of the Burgundians who struck him on his weak point. This connects to the revenge tragedy of his wife Kriemhild for the murder of her husband in the later half of the tale.

The Fortress of Impalement [Noble Phantasm]
Kazikli Bey.
Lancer’s anti-army Noble Phantasm.
This is a Noble Phantasm derived from Vlad III’s posthumous title – Vlad the Impaler.
It’s a magic torture castle that pierces victims with magic lances which curse and deal heavy damage.
The pain caused by it increases depending on the immoral and deprave sins they have committed; it’s truly an attack of great justice.
In the game, Mandragoras, screaming as though they were dying, burst out from under the feet of enemies and pierce them with countless lances that cause huge damage.
Furthermore, the attacks apply the negative status effect “curse.”
The attack affects all enemy units, so it’s true value is only displayed in one vs. many situations rather than one-on-one.
Also, as a hidden component, Kazikli Bey’s damage is increased when used on people who qualify as “enforcement targets.”
If the enemy has committed the crimes of escape from prison, immorality, or violence, Kazikli Bey’s destructive power increases. There is no extra damage when used against the protagonist because they have no criminal record.


At the time Vlad III was alive, punishing commoners with impalement wasn’t unusual in the Balkan Peninsula and Northern Mediterranean Sea areas.
But then, after Vlad III took up the role as Wallachia’s lord and leader for the second time, he became fed up with the extreme corruption and depravity of the nobles in his country.
He decided that the decline of Wallachia was due to these nobles, and took decisive action against unprecedented numbers of them. His primary method of enforcement and punishment was impalement.
In Wallachia, where nobles and commoners had previously been subject to very different treatment and rules, it’s presumed that Vlad’s actions were extremely shocking.
There was surely no one in the land who did not feel the severity and horror of Lord Vlad’s actions.
After routing the nobles, impalement became Vlad’s favorite method of punishment, and in 1459 he even went so far as to impale the emissary of the Ottoman Empire (Turkish Empire) alive, among other deeds.

Profile
A famous hero from Romanian history.
A noble warrior who held on to Walachia’s independence and was even called the shield of Christian world.
However, he is an innocent monster whose title of Dracula ended up spreading across the world instead.

For the sake of protecting Walachia from the Turkish armies to the end, he purged the nobles who had laid waste to the country and impaled over 20,000 enemies soldier from the Turkish army, but he had to run counter to the nobility in order to carry out his doctrine of severe punishment.
In the end, he was assassinated by his own subordinates - the Wallachian nobles.

Height/Weight: 191cm・90kg
Source: Historical fact
Region: Romania
Alignment: Lawful Good　　Gender: Male
While his appearance and behavior are like that of a Berserker, the last vestiges of rationality still dwells in his eyes. The emotion of a knight to believe in true love, and attempt to protect one of its fragment.

Level 2 Bond
"Stronghold of Impalement"
Rank: C　　Type: Anti-Army Noble Phantasm
Range: 0~50　　Max Targets: 300 people
Kazikli Bey.
Released from the magic spear, a demonic castle of torture (Drakulya) of curse and punishment that grows countless spears from the surrounding terrain and passes judgement on the enemy.
Because it targets the entire enemy force opposing him, this Noble Phantasm display its true worth in a battle of one-against-many.
Given its source, it has a special trait that increases pain in proportion to the sins of misconduct・depravity possessed by the enemy. The destructive power increases the greater the sins of “desertion”, “immorality” and violence committed by the opponents, the subjects of purge.

Level 3 Bond
Vlad III would choose any means to protect the independence of Walachia, becoming hated as a demon by the Turks.
In the year of 1462.
In order to oppose the 150,000 strong Turkish army with only 10,000 troops, Vlad III instructed the use of scorched-earth tactics and guerrilla warfare.
On top of having the populace run away to the Carpathian Mountains, he ambushed the Turkish army after emptying even the capital.
At that time, what laid in the surroundings of the capital of Bucharest, was the impaled form of over 20,000 Turkish soldiers.

A swarm of countless impaled corpses, towering on the surroundings of the Bucharest fortress. With such bizarreness and offensive smell, he completely crushed the morale of the valorous Turkish soldiers.
It has been said that even the brave Mehmed II, who was called the “conqueror”, withdrew his forces after stating “I do not fear any man, but a demon is another matter”.
At that time, the length of the impalement field was 3 kilometers, while the width was 1 kilometer. Even when Walachia was later occupied by the Ottoman Turkey Empire, its autonomy was continuously recognized because of this trauma.

Level 4 Bond
Dracula was originally a title which he had claimed for himself, and it means “son of the dragon”.
This derives from his father, Vlad II, who was a knight of the Holy Roman Empire’s Order of the Dragon that called himself Dracul.
Prince Vlad believed in the love of the Lord, and attempted to fulfill his responsibility as a noble by correcting injustice.
However, the feudal lords who indulged in the wealth of the privileged class disliked his honorable poverty, and the warrior who saved the Christian world was punished by means of an artifice.

Level 5 Bond

• Innocent Monster: A
  

The name of a monster that had his past and way of being twisted by means of the image that was born from his deeds while alive. Abilities・appearance ended up being transformed.
In the present, “Dracula” is one of the most famous monsters in the world. Probably the greatest sample-case of reality being distorted by a literary work.
...still, it is also a fact that one cannot affirm that everything was an insolence by the writer Bram Stoker.
Vlad III would choose any means to protect the independence of Walachia, and was feared as a demon by both the Turks and the populace of his own country.
According to records reported to the Vatican, the number of people he impaled during his lifetime reached 100,000. The most frightening part is that such number does not include people of the enemy nation.

Interlude

The Lord of Execution [Noble Phantasm]
Kazikli Bey. Lancer of Black’s Noble Phantasm. It can unleash a maximum of twenty thousand stakes in the territory he has set up with his skill “Demonic Defender of the State”. It can be used to attack, defend or regulate the movements of the enemy. Due to the being set up in Romania, the territory created by “Demonic Defender of the State” here is the largest of any Holy Grail War. Not only does the damage from the stakes pile up, they attack one after another with overwhelming numbers reaching twenty thousand, living up to Vlad III’s nickname “Lord of Impalement”.
Though the power of each individual stake is low, they deal additional continuous damage through “penetration” for some time after even one of them is stabbed into the enemy. Furthermore, if his spear hits the enemy even once, it will cause stakes to be created from within the enemy’s body and pierce them from inside out. When this happens, nothing can be done, and the enemy will end up suffering in excruciating pain until they die.
…Well, the fact that there was an unbelievable Servant who would circulate fire through his own body in order to incinerate the stakes within him was probably a miscalculation for Vlad.

Beast of Billows
The dignity of a sea god, a howl that summons tornadoes.
Its name is Curruid.
A great beast who lies in distant seas.
The legendary spear, "Gae Bolg," was carved from the skull of this monster.

User: Lancer
The demonic spear used by Lancer. It is a cursed spear with an ominous design. It will unerringly pierce an opponent’s heart, and can annihilate dozens of people with a single throw.
In Celtic mythology, it is the legendary demonic spear possessed by the demigod Cú Chulainn. Because of its huge size for a throwing weapon, nobody except Cú Chulainn was powerful enough to wield it. In some stories, the spear is thrown from the fork of the toes in order to increase its power. The name of this throwing technique is also “Gáe Bolg”.
It is said that it would scatter into countless arrowheads when thrown, wiping out multiple opponents in a single throw. The name Gáe Bolg derives from “ga bool’ga” (serrated throwing weapon), which evokes images of lightning.

Barbed Spear that Pierces with Death [Noble Phantasm]
Gae Bolg.
Lancer’s anti-personnel noble phantasm.
A cursed crimson spear with the infamous reputation of always going through the heart when thrust.
What it actually does is reversing causality, the spear being thrust after the outcome of striking the heart is established.
When its true power is invoked with its true name, Lancer’s crimson spear gains the outcome of already striking the heart before being thrust.
It didn’t hit because it was thrust, it hit so it was thrust, an attack on destiny itself.
What is needed to dodge Gae Bolg isn’t high agility but the power to reverse fate before the activation of Gae Bolg: high luck.
While it’s strictly anti-personnel and specifically targeting the heart, it’s a top-notch power that decides fate. It’s a noble phantasm a step away from being an authority, but it's no surprise that it is for its welder Cu Chulainn is the child of a god.
You shouldn’t take him lightly just because he's a jobber.

Nasu Kinoko & Takeuchi Takashi • Character Discussion

>The catalyst for Lancer's birth

Nasu: As with Berserker, Lancer's concept did not change much from old "Fate".

Takeuchi: I feel like Lancer was more tragic in old "Fate"... though I suppose he was quite tragic in this one as well.

Nasu: In old "Fate", Lancer had a Master who was more like Rin, so his role as the rival was a bit easier to grasp.

Takeuchi: Old "Fate" didn't have a character like Archer (Emiya), so Lancer filled the rival role instead. In old "Fate", Lancer was basically used as a gopher by a high-maintenance girl. I guess you could say he's had bad luck with women since those days.

Nasu: True enough.

Takeuchi: Who was Cu Chulainn's Master?

Nasu: He trained under Scathach, known for being as cool-headed and beautiful as she was aloof. She definitely didn't coddle him. By persistently challenging her to a fight, Cu Chulainn earned his place as her apprentice and was granted the use of Gae Bolg.

Takeuchi: I believe his Master in old "Fate" was based on Scathach. She left an impression on me because I felt bad for Cu Chulainn finding himself under the influence of another woman like that, even after death.

>Regarding Lancer's character design

Takeuchi: As Nasu mentioned earlier, Lancer's design concept hasn't changed much since the early days. His face in particular remains quite familiar.

Nasu: Especially his hairstyle, slicked back bangs hanging loose, and a ponytail.

Takeuchi: When I was designing Lancer's outfit, I asked Nasu about his concept and thought a bodysuit would go well with his character.

Nasu: Yeah, I think I asked for a bodysuit reminiscent of "Vampire Hunter D".

Takeuchi: I took that direction and ran with it. The final design does have a touch of sci-fi flavour to it, but my initial drafts were even more sci-fi.

Nasu: We had to tone down that sci-fi aspect to make him fit in better with the other characters. We couldn't have "Space Lancer 2004" running around.(laughs) Now that I think about it, Lancer's not the only blue character.

Takeuchi: Yeah, Saber's blue too... Why did we make Lancer blue, then?

Nasu: Blue's really the only colour that suits his concept, don't you think?

Takeuchi: Come to think about it, I've never seen a non-blue variation of Lancer. I guess it was also because he was clearly positioned as Archer's rival.

Nasu: The ancient rivalry between red and blue... As a side note, Gae Bolg was Lancer's Noble Phantasm in old "Fate" as well. When I was coming up with the abilities for it, I thought the notion of a battle between the "rules" laid out by Noble Phantasms would be a new and fun idea.

Takeuchi: Though it didn't work on Saber. (laughs)

Nasu: Haha, yeah. The sure-kill spear that didn't kill. That's the good old Gae Bolg for you. But that was the stage at which I figured out the true direction of "Fate". It wouldn't be about values and numbers, but a battle between concepts.

>The Noble Phantasm Gae Bolg

Nasu: A weapon that strikes with guaranteed fatal blows sounds like a total cheat, but I guess it doesn't sound as bad now since we were just talking about Berserker earlier. (laughs)

Takeuchi: Are there any limitations to the use of Gae Bolg, or is the True Name the only requirement?

Nasu: The Noble Phantasm will activate if Lancer is within spear-striking distance of his opponent. If his opponent has a high luck stat, the attack can still miss, though that is quite rare.

Takeuchi: So luck is the only way to dodge it?

Nasu: Yeah, I'd say so. Even if your agility was EX level, it wouldn't matter. The only reason why Saber survived Gae Bolg's strike was because her luck stat was high.

Takeuchi: I guess her precog ability helped too.

Nasu: I like to call it intuition. Add to that her B-level luck, and she was able to avoid fatal injury even though she still couldn't dodge the attack completely.

Takeuchi: Do you think it would hit Archer?

Nasu: Without a doubt. Archer knows that too, which is why he stays as far away from Lancer as possible. If Lancer ever got that look in his eyes and took the stance, Archer would backpedal like his life depended on it, because it would.

Takeuchi: I see... well, they do say discretion is the better part of valor. What about throwing Gae Bolg?

Nasu: Gae Bolg: Soaring Spear that Strikes with Death is purely destructive power.

Takeuchi: I guess it would be too much if Gae Bolg could strike the target's heart without fail when thrown as well.

Nasu: That would be an ability worthy of Lugh, Lancer's father... it might even be more powerful that Fragarach.

Takeuchi: Eternal Force Blizzard! Instant death. Something like that, right?

Nasu: Sounds about right. The legendary battles of ancient mythology were quite literally played out in god mode, after all.

>The message Lancer carries as a character

Nasu: I imagine most of us want to feel like we've lived a good life. That thought was at the forefront of my mind when I was writing for Lancer. In "hollow" he has a line where he questions the necessity of hating one's enemy. I feel like that sentiment sums up Lancer's personality. I guess you could say it's my version of the manga "Haguregumo", just not as... unique. (laughs)

Takeuchi: Or even Josuke Higashikata.

Nasu: I don't know... Josuke's a bit silly.

Takeuchi: What about Juuza of the Clouds, then?

Nasu: Juuza is supposed to be like the clouds, but in reality he's totally paralyzed. He's just forever dragging his feelings for Yuria around.

Takeuchi: His death was admirable, though.

Nasu: To elaborate further on Lancer, he's always been portrayed as a slender warrior. The design concept for him was a panther, with tight groupings of solid muscles.

Takeuchi: I always imagined Lancer with softer eyes, which may be why I always drew him with slightly heavy eyes that were angled downward. But then I saw that other artists always drew Lancer with extremely sharp eyes. I would never have realised my mistake if I hadn't noticed that.

Nasu: ...You're terrible (laughs)

Takeuchi: Yeah, I angled Lancer's eyes down for "Zero" before I checked the main game and remembered that his eyes were in fact angled skyward.

Nasu: Lancer's a truly hopeless character, isn't he? I mean, he died in an accident in Sakura's route... (laughs)

Takeuchi: How did he meet his end in Saber's route?

Nasu: He was defeated by Gil in the church basement. We didn't elaborate on this in the game, but Lancer was actually battling against Gil for half a day before he lost, so I think it's safe to say that Gil sustained some serious injuries in that encounter.

Takeuchi: I doubt many of the people who played the game spent much time thinking about that particular fight.

Nasu: Cu Chulainn is probably one of the top two greatest heroes in Irish Mythology. This may seem contrary to what I was saying about Berserker, but Lancer's agility and combat experience are enough to keep him alive even without some overwhelming super ability. Lancer is definitely a character based on the survivor archetype.

Takeuchi: Regardless of concept, as far as the story is concerned, Lancer was basically the bait in a giant dog fighting ring. Even the thrown Bolg was just there to make Aegis seem more impressive.

Nasu: Hey! Are you dissing Lancer!?

Takeuchi: I just think he was a very unfortunate character, all things considered. But I guess that's why the impression he left on me was something akin to clouds.

Barbed Spear that Pierces with Death [Noble Phantasm]
Gae Bolg.
The cursed spear that always pierced the opponent's heart after being thrust.
Reverse causality --- a technique which broke the rules by launching the spear after it was already established that the heart was pierced.
Since the target was already hit by the spear, the opponent would always be hit regardless what kind of evasive maneuvers he took.
In order to evade Gae Bolg, one would require Noble Phantasms that automatically resurrected the target after death like that of Berserker's, or a high degree of Luck sufficient to negate the curse of the spear.
To put it into game terms, it would be an insane Noble Phantasm with a base damage plus an additional component that scaled with the target's HP.
For example, if Saber's HP was 100, then Gae Bolg's damage would be (Spear Damage + 100). She would absolutely be dead if it hit.
It was also an efficient Noble Phantasm with mana consumption only in the double digits.
Anti-Unit Noble Phantasms probably did not get anymore economical than this.
By the way, Piercing Death Thorn was a technique Lancer developed himself.
Originally Gae Bolg was a thrown Noble Phantasm. It was an Anti-Army Noble Phantasm rather than Anti-Unit.

User: Archer
Caladbolg is the demonic sword wielded by the Irish hero Fergus mac Róich in Celtic mythology. The version that Archer projects has been altered to improve its function as an arrow.
In the legends, Fergus mac Róich was the former king of Ulster and foster-father of the hero Cú Chulainn. However, he was tricked out of his kingship, and later allied with Connacht, an enemy of Ulster. During the decisive battle between Connacht and Ulster, Fergus was able to corner the enemy king who had betrayed him, but was prevented from killing him. It is said that he redirected his rage at this turn of events upon three hills, using Caladbolg to blast their tops clean off.
Cú Chulainn is affected by a geis that makes it his duty to be defeated once by the sword so long as the wielder is Ulster-born. For that reason, it could be said to be his natural enemy.
Also, there is a theory that the Caladbolg from Celtic mythology is the same sword as the Caledfwlch from Welsh mythology, making it a prototype of Excalibur.

The Reborn Sword of Victory [Noble Phantasm]
Excalibur Galatine.
Gawain's Anti-Army Noble Phantasm. A Pseudo-Sun is contained in the hilt.
A holy sword in King Arthur's legends, it is the sister sword to Excalibur. If Excalibur is a sword that destroys castles, this sword destroys the enemy army.
If King Arthur's holy sword collects the light of the stars, Sir Gawain's holy sword represents the rays of heat from the sun.
Unlike Excalibur's centralized attack, Galatine is a broad wave, radiation-type attack that completely annihilates the enemy army. Like Excalibur, the original owner is a Maiden of the Lake. Hidden in Excalibur's shadow, it's a holy sword rarely mentioned in the legends.
In the remaining legends, it is similar to its owner, Gawain, and shows its greatest power at noon, the unsurpassed shaprness of the edge is said to become visible. That sharpness sliced clean through the shield and chainmail of the enemy, the Saracen soldier Priamus.
As Arthur has the providence of the night (Alto, Artemis, the pedigree of the goddess of the moon), Gawain is the knight who receives the blessing of the sun.
That special characteristic is reflected in the Noble Phantasm, which is like the rays of heat from the sun. Caladbolg is the prototype of Galatine, like a long rainbow, and cleanly sliced off the top of a hill with its full power.
It was a sword of light that stretched from the magic sword like a rainbow. Galatine is similar; with a motion like drawing a sword, and the pseudo sun inside and the magical energy put into it, the attack extends as far as it is possible to visualize the blade of the sword.
That is to say...about 13 kilometers or so.

Enhance [Person's name • Dead Apostle]
One of the 27 Dead Apostle Ancestors. The Knight of Vengeance.
A bloodsucker who only just became an Ancestor, he is known derisively as the "Single-edged Enhance Sword".
Although hostility between Dead Apostles is nothing strange, that only refers to power squabbles within a group. In other words, while Dead Apostles will fight for the right to become their own Ancestor's successor, there is no conflict between the separate Ancestors' factions. However, Enhance is an exception to the rule, and is hunting the other members of the 27 Ancestors themselves.
Even though he's a vampire, he is incomplete, and lacks the superhuman innate abilities possessed by the other Ancestors. On the other hand, his force of will and ability to take action is foremost among the Dead Apostles.
By nature, the immortal Dead Apostles are tranquil beings, but as Enhance is still almost human his vindictiveness knows no bounds.
He fights using the demonic sword Avenger, which he inherited (stole) from the Apostle he replaced, and a gun that was manufactured by the Church. Because the gun is an artifact of the Church, it corrodes his left arm each time he uses it.
If you're wondering what an entry like this is doing in this encyclopedia, it's because he got name-dropped in one of the routes, during a conversation between Arcueid and Ciel.
If there's ever a Tsukihime 2, it's rumored that the story will revolve around Enhance. Though, the author gets bored really easily so maybe take that with a (huge) grain of salt, yeah?

Enhance [Person's name • Dead Apostle]
Avenger. A member of the Twenty Seven Dead Apostle Ancestors. Number Eighteen.
He was given the title Blade (Enhance Sword) by those despised him. A Vampire who recently joined the ranks of Ancestors.
It was not unusual for Dead Apostles to wage wars against each other, and the purpose was to wrestle for power within the organization.
Usually the subordinates fought for the right to inherit the title of an Ancestor. Fighting against the other Ancestors was almost unheard of.
Enhance broke this rule, as he actively hunted for the other Ancestors.

Phantasmal species.
Within our works, this is a general term for those creatures that appear within legends and myths.
They are those existences that deviate from their original form by the impact of factors alien to their ecology; those existences borne of human ideation (想念, sounen^?); and those existences that ascend to a higher order as a consequence of longevity.
Incidentally, it is typically only those creatures that hold standing as Demonic Beasts (魔獣, Majyuu^?, translated sometimes as "Monstrous Beasts") or below that are used as Familiars (使い魔, Tsukai-Ma^?). The Ranks go in the order of Animal (野獣, yajyuu^?, lit. "wild beast") → Demonic Beast (魔獣^?) → Phantasmal Beast (幻獣, genjyuu^?) → Holy Beast (聖獣, Seijyuu^?).
Phantasmal and Holy Beasts of the Millennium Class (千年クラス, sennen kurasu^?) fundamentally outmatch the strength of Mysteries (神秘, shinpi^?) on the order of Magecraft; the Mysteries inherent to said creatures are of a magnitude equivalent to that represented within True Magic.

Magical Beast [Others]
In the world of Fate/stay night, a general term for beasts which do not correspond to normal ecosystems.
They are divided into three ranks: monstrous, mythical, and divine.
The vast majority of monstrous beasts are crossbreeds (chimera) living in still-uncivilized regions, but it seems that those of mythical rank and above have shifted to the far side of the world.
Though the Pegasus that appears in the story is a monstrous beast, its long life puts it at the level of a mythical beast. Ordinary magi are completely unable to compete with something of this rank.
Also, beings that take after dragons are considered to be superior, regardless of classification. Since dragons are endowed with the characteristics of several species, it appears that even consorting with humans was not uncommon.

Magical Beasts
An umbrella term that encompasses all beasts that do not fall within the normal ecosystem. In this context, “beast” is a thaumaturgical term, and does not necessarily mean quadrupedal mammals. Magical Beasts cannot be explained by immature research or sudden mutations. They are true deviations from biology. Roughly Magical Beasts can be classified into Monstrous Beasts -> Phantasmal Beasts -> Divine Beasts in ascending order towards higher existence.
Most Magical Beasts have existed since the Age of Gods, and are Chimeras formed from mixing different species. They live on currently undeveloped lands that cannot be reached by mankind. Furthermore, Phantasmal Beasts that have existed in the past have almost all migrated to a different world presented as the “Inside of the World”.
Although classified as a Monstrous Beast, the Pegasus that Rider mounted in the story is an existence closer to that of a Phantasmal Beast due to surviving over a very long period of time. Also worth mentioning is that, Phantasmal Beasts that have survived over thousands of years are on the same tier as True Magic, thus rendering mysteries on the level of sorcery completely ineffective against them.

The Pinnacle of Phantasmal Species – Dragons
Dragons, or Magical Beasts similar to Dragons, have members in all classes of Magical Beasts (Monstrous, Phantasmal, and Divine Beasts). Dragons are always thought to be the greatest species within their corresponding classes. Because there are dragons of the Monstrous, Phantasmal, and Divine classes, they have been involved with mankind since before the Age of Gods. They have also left many legends in the field of thaumaturgy.

Heroic Spirit with ranks in Monster and Magical Beast
Because Rider’s true identity is Medusa, she is ranked as both Monster and Magical Beast. As a result, the rank of her Divinity is reduced to the lowest value of E-. In exchange, she possesses the skill Monstrous Strength, a trait of Monsters and Magical Beasts.

Medusa
Rider is more of a Divine Spirit than a Heroic Spirit. Yet, “Anti-Hero approaching Monster” is a more apt description than Divine Spirit. Because she is classified as a Monster, Medusa is poorly matched against Servants with legends of monster-slaying.

Q: Asakami, Fujou, Ryougi, Nanaya are natural enemies of Half-Blood. Besides Nanaya, do the other three houses still hunt Half-Bloods?

A: The other three houses have done so in the past. However, it is no longer necessary as time goes on. The cash cow... and the basis of the existence of the four houses ----- the enemy known as Half-Blood, have slowly morphed from an evil that threatens the society to a necessary evil.
The Half-Bloods were no longer worshiped because the existence of the nation, so they compromised with the human society and became organized. They skillfully brought those in positions of power to their cause, and became the ones in power.
As a result, the Four Demon Hunter Houses could no longer maintain themselves. Some became fallen, others reestablished themselves through other means.
In the end, the only ones battling the Half-Bloods were the Nanayas. As to why, it was because that was all they were good at.
The Ryougis and Fujous possessed other "useful" skills besides fighting Half-Bloods, so they focused on those areas instead and survived.
The fall of Asakami was self-inflicted. They worshiped the captured Half-Bloods as guardian gods, and their lineage became diluted due to the continued interbreeding. In the end, they almost became Half-Bloods themselves. The mummy-hunter became the mummy, such is the tragedy of the Asakamis.

Introduction - Four Great Demon Beasts

Four Demon - The Great Beast.

The familiars that serve as limbs for Merem Solomon, the Dead Apostle who is both one of the 27 Ancestors and the Burial Agency.

It is said that each one is equal to a single Ancestor.

Each one of the Four Great Demon Beasts is a Divine Beast class fantasy creature, but they were all creatures that Merem “literally” imagined.

They don’t belong to any species on earth, but they pay homage to many organisms throughout the world.

Source: Source/Tsukihime Dokuhon “talk”, “the dark six”

Boss-class monsters that obey the Dead Apostle Merem Solomon. The Demon of the Right Leg appeared in Talk. Well, it kind of got owned, but that’s because the Living Forest and the Whale Dog had just the worst compatibility.

The fact that they don’t have names is because of the rule that “you can’t give demons a name so easily”. Merem wants to give them cool names, but it seems that if he did, they would become truly free, so he can’t.

Explanation - Demon of the Left Hand

Class: King of Rats

User requirements: Manifestation of admiration towards others and the wish to transform.

Design reference: His little friends living above the ceiling of the temple.

The hero and idol of the rat world.

A demon with absolutely zero fighting power, but the transformation ability to completely imitate the appearance of any human.

In human society, he holds the status of priest. In the past, as the third most beautiful rat in the world, he has a lot of support among narrow communities living in narrow spaces like underground, above ceilings, in gutters, and behind furniture.

“Left Hand” itself likes its priest self, and spends his days working relaxedly for Merem, humans and rats.

“…That’s weird. Hey, did I design you to like humans?”

“I will be an ally of humans as long as there is pizza.”

Is a conversation this cheese lover has had with Merem.

Also, every time the rats ask him,

“Hey, hey, what part of you is a “Great” Demon Beast?”

He apologetically tries to think of a response.

Explanation 02 - Memorandum

The representative of Merem, who can’t grow any older from his boy form. While he can transform into many types of people, he normally likes to take the form of a kind old priest.

When faced with high-level exorcism, this appearance becomes undone and he reverts to his original form.

Just a note so that you don’t misunderstand, but the power to transform into any human is a power of the “Left Hand” and not Merem. What Merem created was an existence able to freely change into a human, but the one actually execute that is the “Left Hand” only. Meremu himself wants to become an adult, and wants arms and legs, but he cannot himself transform.

Again, although the Four Great Demon Beasts are basically Merem’s limbs, they are actually just providing him with limbs.

If Merem disappears, the Demon Beasts won’t disappear until they are destroyed, but if they disappear, Merem will lose his limbs and have to reimagine them.

To the Demon Beasts, Merem is their creator, but he is not someone absolutely necessary. But since they will be reimagined if they’re destroyed as long as Merem is still alive, they seem to hold some loyalty towards him.

Explanation 03 - Demon of the Right Leg

Class: King of the Earth

User Wish: Manifestation of divine punishment and huge tsunami

Design reference: The animal sculptures and stuffed animals decorating the temple, and also the temple itself

The black dog of destruction. The bell of the end. The dog of gods. The whale dog.

The demon of conquest and destruction that Merem prefers to drag along with him. It doesn't have any specific powers, but just having a huge body close to 200 meters in length is enough to qualify it as a "demon".

Supposedly, Merem actually wanted a cuter dog, but it seems that his art skills are a little biased. The demon beasts that make up his "legs" do not act independently in a human fashion, but take action directly according to his orders. Perhaps it's because Merem loves dogs, but apparently his "Right Leg" listens to him more than the "Left Leg".

Explanation 04 - Memorandum

Just like other demons, the Four Great Demon Beasts are separate beings from Merem.

Although they are demons conceived by Merem’s imagination, once he draws an image out it begins to walk away from him. While they listen to Merem, their creator, he cannot manipulate their ways or feelings.

Basically, while humans can make as many revisions as they want when something is still in their head, once it’s put into form (ex: statue, drawing) and let into the world, it can no longer be changed.

Indeed. The only things left in the author’s hands after he lets it into the world are the ownership rights.

Explanation 05 - Demon of the Right Arm

Class: Clever Daughter

User wish: Manifestation of bayonets and war… is the official front for the manifestation of doll moe. Otherwise known as The Angel-Tricking Demon.

Design reference: Goddess statue in the temple, funeral

A huge, anthromorphized pile of trash, Sword-chan.

A living gear statue around 10 meters tall.

Among the four beasts, the only one actively undergoing model (fashion) changes. Fundamentally a downer-type, super-lazy goddess.

Usually hides its face with a mask. Rarely takes it off. Also a mobile temple, with stairs and an entrance in the stomach region.

As an idol, only possesses a minimum amount of intelligence, and is not very adaptable. As an example, it has around the computational power of a Family BASIC. A problem child that has trouble deleting commands after they’ve been given. Kind of like a printer that doesn’t stop printing even after the cancel button has been pressed!

It’s a demon that symbolizes weaponry, but this is on principle limited to “weapons that it can possess”.  The design changes slightly to keep up with weapons development, but it settled on this model about 100 years ago.

Explanation 06 - Memorandum

The demon beast doesn’t appear much, maybe because Merem is being stingy. If we were talking Ultra Seven, it would be Windam. A character with few appearances despite its popularity.

Going off topic, but in the initial planning phase we thought of it as a V2 rocket anthromorphism.

Aim at the target and shoot, and with it transform into human shape and hack it to pieces. That was some kind of rocket-like intelligence mode we planned, but we thought that if it’s a demon then it should fully anthromorphize, so its acting style was changed. Also, keep it a secret, but personally I wanted to see Mr. PFALZ’s mech girl.

Explanation 07 - Demon of the Right Leg

Class: King of the Sky

User wish: Manifestation of wandering and liberation. One who aims for the stars.

Design references: The floor style in the temple. Talking with birds.

An amalgamation of many different animals. The king of beasts that swims in the sky. A huge demon on the same scale as the “Right Leg”. Its tiled skin stores many different animals. Though it has aspects of a sky fortress, but perhaps because of the fate of those who fly, it will be destroyed if its wings touch the ground.

The most beautiful of the demons that Merem imagined. The “Right Leg” specializes in annihilation warfare, but this one specializes in one-on-one combat against a super high-class enemy. …Well, generally it just deals critical injuries, then crashes and disperses.

Merem treats it as a weapon with a too-high cost.

Explanation 08 - Memorandum

The Four Great Demon Beasts ---- treated by Merem Solomon as “odd entities” even among the 27 Ancestors, who pride themselves as being odd to begin with.

It’s probably like having anime characters in elaborately drawn landscape paintings.

While Reality Marbles repaint reality with one’s own imagined world, Merem’s Four Great Demon Beasts might be revenge against reality, from a fairy-tale world abandoned by the people.

The Four Demons are the child called Merem’s doodles that have been given form. Therefore, when they appear, the landscape’s reality starts to crack.

In order to demonstrate this unbalance, we requested their designs from someone with a completely different perspective, the gothic artist Mr. PFALZ.

…The result goes without saying. The back of the giant beast that is “Right Leg” sinking in the city. The author definitely dreamed of this black prairie lined with lion statues, where the two protagonists clash. Screw that, I wanna write it.
