Saber of Red

Appears as Saber of the "Red" camp. During the Holy Grail War, she is summoned by the necromancer "Shishi Kakairi", who was hired by the Magic Society to oppose the Yggdmillennia Clan, using a fragment of the Round Table as a catalyst. She has a calm personality and speaks politely and respectfully even to her enemies. Her appearance is very similar to Saber's, making it almost impossible to tell them apart just by looking at her face.
Saber's True Name

A young swordsman under 20 years old clad in silver armor. His appearance is the spitting image of King Arthur. He looks like a woman, but he is a man. He is one of the Knights of the Round Table and sits at the bottom of the hierarchy. Mordred, the son of Artoria and Morgan. She usually wears armor with horns reminiscent of a sheep, hiding her true face.
Saber's Abilities

Her swordsmanship is extremely high, and she uses a rough, unconventional style of swordsmanship. While she shows the ferocity of a Berserker, she also has the caution to step back and be on guard if she intuitively senses danger, making her a servant with extremely high abilities and a sense of stability, befitting the Swordsman class.
Wish for the Holy Grail
Source: Cells at Work © Shimizu Akane / Kodansha, Aniplex, davidproduction
Her wish for the Holy Grail is to "challenge the Sword of Selection." She boasts, "There's no way I can't pull it out!" and thinks that pulling out the sword is proof that she has been "recognized by King Arthur." However, when the Black Rider asks her what kind of king she wants to be, she realizes she doesn't have the answer. Although she evades the question at the time by saying, "I want to be a wise ruler, not a tyrant," this incident makes her think again about the kind of king she wants to be.
Assassin of Red

Summoned by Shirou Kotomine as an assassin for the "Red" camp. A beautiful woman with a decadent atmosphere, wearing a dress like darkness. A woman who combines beauty and wisdom, who is arrogant, lustful, and flashy. As she reigned as the empress, she used the proud Shirou and the other Red Masters, except for Shishiko, as puppets and plotted to achieve her own ambitions.
Assassin's True Name

The legendary empress "Semiramis" who is said to have reigned over the Assyrian Empire. The culprit of the oldest known poisoning case in human history. From a young age, she was well educated in a wide range of subjects, from makeup, hairstyling, and clothing to dance, music, and astronomy, and possessed a beauty that could bewitch any man. However, she was also a passionate woman who enjoyed luxury and decadence. This passion was evident in her ruthlessness in love, when she started a war to win a man, and in politics, when she poisoned her husband, King Ninos.
Assassin's Abilities
Source: Cells at Work © Shimizu Akane / Kodansha, Aniplex, davidproduction
With the extremely rare skill "Double Summon," he has both the abilities of an "assassin" and a "magician." The fighting method relies heavily on the Caster's skills, drawing out EX-rank magical power from the Sky Gardens, and firing a barrage of artillery fire from magic circles generated in all directions that is powerful enough to forcibly penetrate A-rank anti-magic powers, bombarding the ground.
Wish for the Holy Grail

The wish for the Holy Grail, or rather what Shirou wishes for in the world after his "salvation" is "to reign over this world as the only king." At first, her feelings towards Shirou were more like an alliance based on a common interest, as she enjoyed watching him achieve his crazy ideals and see him fall into despair halfway through his goals...
Caster of Red
Source: Cells at Work © Shimizu Akane/Kodansha, Aniplex, davidproduction
She was summoned as a Caster for the "Red" camp. Master is semi-puppeted by Shirou Kotomine, but he knows this and calls Shirou "Master" and cooperates with him. However, he does not simply follow Shirou's orders, but acts on his own, such as tempting Berserker to go to the enemy camp.
Caster's True Name
Legendary British playwright William Shakespeare. He is especially famous for his four great tragedies, including Hamlet. Although he is a famous writer, half of his life is shrouded in mystery. He wrote several works, and his fame knew no bounds. He was so envied by senior playwrights at the time that he was insulted as an "upstart crow."
Caster's abilities
Source: Cells at Work © Akane Shimizu/Kodansha, Aniplex, davidproduction
Although he is a Caster, he does not have any of the abilities of a normal magician (this point is covered by Assassin). He himself irritates his Master by watching the battle as a spectator and asking about his feelings one by one. In other words, he does not fight at all.
Unusual personality for a Heroic Spirit
A story-setter. His ultimate goal is to witness the best story possible, no matter what the means. As a result, he has little sense of involvement and has an authorial perspective. He is one of the best Servants in the Holy Grail War who "doesn't fight." The more interesting the Master's choice, the sharper his writing will be, but conversely, the more mediocre it is, the more he will abandon it without any motivation. This doesn't seem to change under any circumstances.
Lancer of Red
Source: Cells at Work © Akane Shimizu/Kodansha, Aniplex, davidproduction
Summoned as a Lancer for the "Red" camp. A true hero who knows no lies, who reveals everything honestly, who is not arrogant or flattering, and who fights for justice and beliefs even if he is called evil. He has an extremely tolerant personality, and accepts all hardships and injustices, without ever resenting them. He is a loyal and extremely positive person who always repays kindness.
Lancer's True Name
Karna is an immortal hero who appears in the Indian epic poem "Mahabharata". He is the sworn enemy and long-lost brother of Arjuna, the protagonist of "Mahabharata". He is known as the "Hero of Alms" and is a saint who believes in never refusing when asked or requested to do something. Despite his extremely high abilities, he faced the tragedy of being enemies with his blood brother, was cursed with various curses, and lost his life without being able to demonstrate his true worth - that is Karna.
Lancer's abilities
Source: Cells at Work © Shimizu Akane/Kodansha, Aniplex, davidproduction
He is considered to be the highest-ranking Heroic Spirit, and has a presence that is considered to be on the same level as, or even greater than, the strongest Servants Gilgamesh and Gawain, and has a powerful power that matches that. However, the consumption of magical energy is very poor, and even first-class magicians have difficulty using magic just by releasing weapons and skills. Basically, he mainly uses a spear that has flames added to it with "Magical Energy Release (Flame)".
Lancer's Personality
Protecting his Master is his number one priority, and he will follow his Master's orders without question unless they threaten his own life. Furthermore, he rarely asserts himself, and can sometimes appear to be a ruthless and emotionless person who is not swayed by emotion. He also has the ability to see through the true nature of others, but because he is too honest, he speaks bluntly and is not very clear-spoken, so even if he thinks he is affirming and praising everything about the other person, the other person will take it as sarcastic, which is a problem for him. His simple-mindedness adds to this.
Red Archer

Summoned as an archer for the "Red" faction. The first female archer in the series. She has distinctive ears and tail like a beast. She is a speedy maiden with bow skills that rival those of men, high agility, and useful skills for movement and running. She is proud as a warrior and has a clean-cut side, and does not like cunning.
Archer's real name

Atalanta, the "pure hunter" born under the protection of Artemis, the goddess of hunting, in Greek mythology. Born as the princess of Arcadia, she was abandoned in the mountains immediately after birth because they wanted a boy, and was raised by a female bear, the sacred beast of the goddess Artemis. By the way, her ears and tail are those of a lion. It seems to be a penalty for Artemis seeing her playing with fire with her husband.
Wish for the Holy Grail
Source: Cells at Work © Shimizu Akane/Kodansha, Aniplex, davidproduction
Her wish for the Holy Grail is "A world where all the children in this world are loved." Every child born into this world is loved by their parents and those around them, and the children who grow up in this way love the newly born lives. This is the cycle of the world. However, at the same time, he is vaguely aware that the realization of this world is "a dream that requires relying on the Holy Grail", and because he unconsciously wants to deny this, when a child is sacrificed, he suffers from the contradiction between the cruelty of reality and his own ideals.
Archer's Abilities

In addition to being one of the best Heroic Spirits for speed, his archery skills are said to be of divine skill, and are considered to be on par with Chiron, who is undoubtedly the best Heroic Spirit. He has high mobility, adaptability, and a wide range of moves, and his strengths lie in hit-and-away tactics. Her running speed is said to rival that of Achilles. The Magic Society also gives her the stamp of approval that she is undoubtedly one of the best Archer class members.
Survival of the fittest
Her gaze is sharp like that of a beast, her hair is long and carelessly grown, and she lacks the smoothness of a noblewoman, so at first glance she appears to be a rough woman. However, she speaks in a very old-fashioned way, calling others "you" and themselves "we," giving her a mysterious elegance that belies her wild nature. She has a view of life and death on the level of a wild animal, believing that food for life is something that must be stolen and obtained, and she is a survival of the fittest person who has no hesitation in this regard.
Red Rider
Source: Cells at Work © Shimizu Akane / Kodansha, Aniplex, davidproduction
Summoned as a "Rider" class belonging to the Red Camp. A handsome man wearing light silver armor. A free-spirited young man who openly ignores orders even from the king if he doesn't like them. However, he is a hero with a strong sense of honor, hates cowardly behavior, and is willing to turn an army against him to slay an enemy general for the sake of his defeated friend. He is content with just one friend in the world and the women he loves, and is a hero who remains cheerful even in the way he dies.
Rider's real name
Source: Cells at Work © Shimizu Akane/Kodansha, Aniplex, davidproduction
The heroic epic poem "Iliad"'s greatest hero, "Fast-footed Achilles." In Greek mythology, he is a great hero comparable to Hercules, and his parents are the hero Peleus and the goddess Thetis. He is the strongest warrior in the Trojan War, famous worldwide.
Wish for the Holy Grail
His wish for the Holy Grail remains the same as when he was alive: to "act as a hero." He has no regrets about the events of his previous life, such as past battles and his downfall when he rebelled against God, but there are a mountain of things he wants to try in this world, so he is not uninterested in a "second life." However, for him, the promise he made to his mother, "to live as a hero and die as a hero," is the fundamental premise of his life.
Rider's Abilities
Source: Cells at Work © Shimizu Akane / Kodansha, Aniplex, davidproduction
With the protection of the gods of Olympus, his body cannot be scratched by attacks from those who do not have "divinity", and he can easily withstand even a direct hit from an anti-military Noble Phantasm that is at least A rank or higher. He also boasts overwhelming agility as legend has it, surpassing even Lancer, the fastest Servant, and Atalanta, one of the most agile in Greece. His speed is so high that it can be mistaken for spatial movement, and because of his speed, everything he sees is within his range.
Heroic Personality
He has a fierce temperament and will thoroughly crush anyone he recognizes as an enemy, but he is lenient towards those he recognizes as allies or "good guys," making him a "heroic" person in both good and bad ways. He enjoys fighting strong opponents with all his might, and although he boasts of his extraordinary immortality, he prefers to be defeated, and is eager to fight a worthy opponent who can hurt him.
Red Berserker

Summoned as a "Berserker" class belonging to the Red Camp. Like the other servants of the Red Camp except Saber, he joined Shirou Kotomine's subordinates, but after being tempted by the Red Caster, he launched a solo attack on the enemy's base, Millennia Fortress.
Berserker's True Name
Source: Cells at Work © Shimizu Akane/Kodansha, Aniplex, davidproduction
His true name is Spartacus, a Thracian gladiator and leader of the Third Servile War. He has blonde hair, a sturdy body, and is a veteran warrior with scars all over his body. His body is tightened with a belt, and his muscles are about to burst from the pressure. He firmly believes that the strength of a human being is the result of enduring everything.
Berserker's Abilities
His weapon is a short sword, and he can unleash heavy slashes that create powerful shock waves. He also boasts the strength to easily throw a golem that is nearly three meters long, and to pulverize it with his bare hands. However, his greatest weapon is his incredible toughness, and whether he is slashed or punched, he always receives the attack before counterattacking. He also fights like a professional wrestler, embracing multiple enemies at once and crushing them with a suplex.
Berserker's Philosophy
He has only one philosophy of action. To rebel against the cruelty and save the victims. To achieve this, he chooses the most difficult path. He does not attack enemies who are at a disadvantage, and only bares his fangs at enemies who are superior to him. He also chooses to counterattack after receiving the enemy's attack, so his victory is a last-minute reversal.
His scarred face smiles calmly whether he's punching or being punched, which is very scary.
