Overview

A Berserker of the Black Faction appearing in "Fate/Apocrypha."
Her master is Caules Forvedge Yggdmillennia, a magician from Yggdmillennia.
A girl with vacant eyes dressed in a wedding dress.
This is the first Servant in the Fate series to demonstrate the correct Berserker strategy of "raising the stats of weaker Heroic Spirits through Madness Enhancement."

Character Profile

Because her madness level is low, she is able to communicate to a certain extent, saying things like "Yaaa (yes)" and "Whee (unsatisfied)." (You can usually gauge her excitement by the rise and fall of her growls.)
Although she can only growl, she possesses extremely high intellectual abilities despite being a Berserker.
She understands the "next step" in the Holy Grail War and recognizes the importance of true names, making her far more intelligent than previous Berserkers.
The reason she retained her sanity even after going mad is because, during her lifetime, Dr. Frankenstein cursed her, calling her a "mad monster," leaving her traumatized. It was from that moment on that she decided to regain her rationality and understand common sense.
She is also extremely calm in battle, attacking in unison with Black Saber and accurately analyzing Red Rider's abilities.
Perhaps because he feeds on electricity, he is also very keen on saving energy, frequently turning off the lights in the bathroom where the master is present and unplugging computers that are left on.

True Name

Raging Black Berserk

His true name is Frankenstein's monster, a character from Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus." His catalyst is a blueprint depicting the "ideal human."
Just as King Arthur in the Fate universe was actually a woman, Frankenstein was also a woman.
She was by no means the "Bride of Frankenstein," and Caules initially worried that he had summoned the "Bride."
In this world, Victor Frankenstein's goal from the beginning was to create Adam and Eve -- the original pair. Contrary to the Bible, he first created Eve and then came up with the idea of having her give birth to Adam.
However, Eve, who was supposed to be his starting point -- an artificial life form created by stitching together corpses -- was a failure.
Unable to control or connect with her emotions, Victor was frightened by her ferocity, which saw her unhesitantly slaughter a stray dog and offer its organs as a gift, causing Victor to flee.
However, Frankenstein's intelligence and emotions were honed as he came into contact with the world, and he eventually began to feel resentment toward Victor for abandoning him.
Exhausted by her relentless pursuit all the way to Antarctica, Victor chose to take his own life.

Wish for the Holy Grail

Her wish for the Holy Grail is to "find a companion of the same kind."
Her desire for a mate is not instinctual, but logical—in other words, a desire to live as a proper human being.
She longs for someone who will love her, but it seems she has a line she won't cross. While she abducted several men in life, none of them were able to become her companion. Even the homunculus of Yggdmillennia was no good. She has limited her companion to "artificial humans created by Frankenstein." In other words, she wants the dead to create the living, and her wish can only be fulfilled through the miracle of the Holy Grail.

Abilities

Compared to other Berserkers, her madness level is low, resulting in low stats.
However, her unique skill, "Galvanism," allows her to freely convert and accumulate bioelectric currents and magical power. He can instantly convert intangible attacks such as magical wind and magical light into electricity, which is then discharged into the surrounding area, neutralizing them.
His body is also strengthened according to the amount of stored electricity, and damage repair is also swift.
Furthermore, by using his Noble Phantasm in conjunction with this, he can even use a pseudo-"Magical Energy Release," achieving high-speed movement close to hovering.
As an artificial being, he is able to manipulate pain. This means that he can continue to move without any problems even if his legs or chest are pierced, giving him great combat endurance.

Noble Phantasm: Maiden's Chastity (Bridal Chest)

This is black

A war hammer (mace) shaped like a tree branch, wrapped in a discharge of electricity.
It absorbs stagnant magical energy from the surrounding area and makes it her own, making it a kind Noble Phantasm for Berserker's Master, whose magical consumption is extraordinary.
It efficiently collects and stores leaking magical energy from herself and the surrounding area, and in combination with "Galvanism," it functions as a pseudo-"second-type perpetual motion machine" during battle when excess magical energy is constantly being generated in the surrounding area.
The sphere at the tip is her heart, which she keeps close to her even when not in combat.

Noble Phantasm: Blasted Tree of Crucification

An anti-military Noble Phantasm that stabs "Maiden's Chastity" into the ground and emits an electric current.
The electricity rains down from the silhouette of a towering tree, spreading out and tracking the enemy. It can be activated even without "Maiden's Chastity" if the enemy is a single target and within close range.
When used at maximum power with all limiters removed, the user's vital functions cease completely, but there is a small chance that a second Frankenstein's monster will be born. However, the user will not be able to see this as she dies. In the story, Sieg is revived and awakened by this electric shock.
When used without removing the limiters, the power decreases, but the user's vital functions will not cease. In an experiment conducted by Caules using a golem given to him by Roche as a reference point for measuring its specs, the power was at best C-rank, and at worst D-rank.
Caules deduced that the power of the lightning strike weakens the further away from the target, but conversely, if used at close range and the limiter is removed, it is powerful enough to defeat most Servants.
This lightning strike is not just lightning, but a force mediated by her will, and when used with the assistance of a Command Spell, it will draw the target into the center with such speed and precision that they cannot avoid it, even if they teleport through space using the effects of the Command Spell.
To put it simply, think of her as an ultra-powerful electromagnet and the target as metal.

Overview

A Servant summoned as a Berserker of the Red Faction during the Holy Grail War.
Like the other Red Faction Servants except Saber, he served under Shirou Kotomine, but after being persuaded by the Red Caster, he launched a solo attack on the enemy's base, Millennia Fortress.

True Name

This is Red

His true name is Spartacus, a Thracian gladiator and leader of the Third Servile War.

He has blonde hair, a powerful physique, and a battle-hardened warrior with scars all over his body.

He wears a belt around his body, constricting his muscles to the point of bursting.
He firmly believes that human strength lies in the endurance of all things.

Character Profile

He has a single principle: to rebel against cruelty and save the victims. To achieve this, he chooses the most difficult path. He does not attack enemies when outnumbered, only baring his fangs at those with a superior advantage.
He only counterattacks after blocking the enemy's attack, resulting in a last-ditch comeback.
His scarred face, smiling calmly whether striking or being struck, is extremely frightening.
Summoned as a Berserker, Spartacus appears to have a normal mind at first glance.
He speaks fluently in a highly advanced language and never attacks his master. However,
He will likely follow his master for the time being. However, if his master shows even the slightest sign of "master-like" behavior, he will surely gleefully and eagerly plot a rebellion. Even the binding power of his Command Spells is ineffective, making him an extremely formidable opponent.

Abilities

His weapon is a gladius, capable of delivering heavy slashes that create powerful shock waves.
He also boasts incredible strength, capable of effortlessly throwing a nearly three-meter-tall golem and smashing it to pieces with his bare hands.
However, his greatest weapon is his incredible toughness. Whether slashed or punched, he always accepts the attack before counterattacking. Furthermore, his fighting style is reminiscent of a professional wrestler, as he can embrace multiple enemies and crush them with a suplex.
He was able to unite the almost ragtag rebel army and win battle after battle against the powerful Roman army, demonstrating his exceptional popularity and military leadership skills. However, what made him even more popular was his reputation as a hero who "always triumphed by turning the tables." The more hopeless the situation seemed to the rebel soldiers, the more certain the victory that lay ahead was.

Noble Phantasm: Roar of the Protecting Beast (Crying Warmonger)

Angry Bersaker

A constantly active Noble Phantasm. It converts a portion of the damage inflicted by enemies into magical power and stores it within his body.
The efficiency of this magical power conversion increases as Spartacus's stamina decreases.
The magical power stored within his body can be used to boost Spartacus's abilities.
If he is beaten to the brink of death, he will accumulate so much magical power that it is more than enough to destroy everything in front of him, transforming even his very body and continuing to fight.
However, due to its unique abilities (half-baked attacks are ineffective, but on the other hand, it's pointless if it dies from a high-powered attack), it's said in the story that "functioning smoothly is extremely difficult" and "it's certain that it would be impossible for it to survive a normal Holy Grail War."
