He joins the battle with the goal of "erasing the name of the vampire Dracula from the world."

Because the Holy Grail War is set in Romania, it has received the maximum fame correction, and almost all of its stats have improved by one level since the planning stage.
Furthermore, because the Master's territory is a battlefield, he can freely enjoy the benefits of the significant strengthening provided by the unique skill "Demon General of the Guardian of the Nation", so he is undoubtedly one of the strongest combat abilities in defensive battles at the camp.
Lancer's real name

The return of the "immortality" that was once entrusted to Prometheus. The reason is not that he regrets losing his immortality, but because he believes that the power of immortality is a "gift from his parents" and a "certain connection between him and his parents."

The prototype of Sagittarius, shining brilliantly in the night sky, he is the most famous "archer" in the world and has the highest level of ability as an "archer". His skill is so great that he was able to accurately capture the arrow that Archer in Red shot at Berserker in Black, which exceeded the speed of sound, from atop a distant castle wall, and shoot it down without an inch of error. By imbuing the arrow with magical power, it is possible to give it various effects, such as increasing its power and speed, or making it explode when it pierces something.

Chiron, the great sage of the Centaur tribe, has raised and brought to success a stellar array of great heroes. Although she has never been classified as a Heroic Spirit, she was accidentally hit by a poisonous Hydra arrow from Heracles, and the pain caused her to give up her immortality, which resulted in her losing her divinity and her status as a Heroic Spirit. She can now be summoned in the Holy Grail War.
Saber of Black

Abilities

Using her high swordsmanship and immortal body, befitting a Saber, she uses a suicidal tactic that assumes she will be attacked. Her close-quarters ability is enough to fight on equal terms with the great hero Lancer of Red. Thanks to the "Evil Dragon's Blood Armor", he boasts excellent durability, and in the story, even when he received A-rank attacks from Red Lancer and Red Archer, he only received minor damage. Also, by obtaining a dragon's heart, he is a dragon slayer, but he also has the attributes of a "dragon species".

He has the same origin as Sigurd in Nordic mythology. He is said to be the prince of the Netherlands.

Servant summoned as a Rider class. He enjoys materializing and is often seen hanging out in the castle town, but seems to be fed up with his Master, who constantly summons him and showers him with perverse expressions of affection.

He is a hero who has traveled around the world and created various legends. He owns a wide variety of treasures and magical equipment, including a horn, a book, a phantom horse (hippogriff), and a golden jousting lance. Therefore, he is the type of heroic spirit who does not have a problem if his true name is known. However, in the story, he restrains his abilities for a certain reason.
Rider's True Name

Astolfo is the son of the King of England and one of the Twelve Braves of Charlemagne. The character description of his "reason evaporating" is not a metaphor, but is already like this in the original text. It is likely that his reason itself was in the glass bottle that Serenice used to summon him.
Black Berserker

A servant summoned as a Berserker class. Her master is Caules Forvedge Yggdmillennia, a magician from Yggdmillennia. A girl with hollow eyes dressed in a wedding dress.

Wish for the Holy Grail

"To have a partner who is the same as me." Her desire for a mate is not an instinctual desire, but a logical one - in other words, it is because she desires to be a proper human being. She wanted someone who would love her, but it seems there is a line she will not cross; while she kidnapped several men in life, none of them were able to become her companion, and even the homunculus of Yggdmillennia was no good, so she has limited her companions to "artificial humans created by Frankenstein."
Abilities

His unique skill "Galvanism" allows him to freely convert and store bioelectric currents and magical power. He instantly converts insubstantial attacks such as magical wind and magical light into electricity, discharging it into the surrounding area to nullify them. In addition, his body is strengthened according to the amount of electricity stored, and damage repair is also performed quickly. Furthermore, by using the Noble Phantasm in combination, he can even use a pseudo "Magic Release", achieving high-speed movement close to hover movement.
True Name of Berserker

His true name is the Frankenstein's monster that appears in Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus". The catalyst is a blueprint depicting the "ideal human."

A Servant summoned as a Caster class. A man hiding his body in a blue cloak and bodysuit, and a faceless mask. During the Holy Grail War, he was summoned by Roche Freyne Yggdmillennia two months before the start of the Holy Grail War, at roughly the same time as Lancer.
Wish for the Holy Grail

His wish for the Holy Grail is a little complicated, and is "the completion of his own Noble Phantasm, the Crown: Light of Wisdom (Golem: Ketermalkuth)." However, completing it as a Noble Phantasm means it is "incomplete," and this is heavily influenced by the ideas of Kabbalah. A golem is actually a type of Kabbalah magic, and its name means "fetus" or "unformed thing." In other words, it is a magic that reproduces the secret arts used by God when he created the original humans, and something that simply wields power as a powerful weapon is by no means the "perfected being" he seeks.
Abilities

As a magician, his abilities are specialized in golems. In addition to creating a wide variety of golems, he can freely control many golems by manual operation within the visible range. However, all materials needed to create golems, including the Noble Phantasm, must be procured on one's own, so in order to create a large and high-quality army of golems, one must secure suitable land or use the appropriate connections and financial resources to import them.
Caster's True Name
Source: Cells at Work © Shimizu Akane/Kodansha, Aniplex, davidproduction
His true name is Avicebron. A Spanish Jew, he was one of the philosophers who started the Renaissance in Medieval Europe in the 11th century, and a magician who mastered the "Golem." He created the magical foundation known as "Kabbalah" from the Hebrew word for "to receive," and had a major impact on the world of magicians. He was also a poet and philosopher who loved poetry.
Black Assassin

A servant summoned as an Assassin class. He was originally a Servant that the host and magician Sagara Hyoma, a member of the Black Camp, was trying to summon, but rather than Hyoma's appeal, he was more attracted to Rokudou Reika's wish to "not die" when she was about to be killed as a sacrifice, so he killed Hyoma immediately after appearing in the world and became Reika's Servant.
Wish for the Holy Grail

As an entity who was aborted before birth, she wishes to "return to her mother's womb." Seeking a unique place of comfort, she continues to wish for the Holy Grail.
Abilities

As his main weapons, he is equipped with six knives on his waist, and also stores a black medical knife (Scalpes) for throwing in a pouch on his thigh. Since she is originally a true "demon" and not even human, her physical abilities are extremely high, her movements transcend those of humans, and she strengthens herself by consuming the spiritual cores of other Servants. She is also well aware that her childish appearance lures her opponents into letting their guard down and confusing them, and she instinctively displays an extremely high level of skill as an "assassin."
Assassin's True Name
Source: Cells at Work © Shimizu Akane/Kodansha, Aniplex, davidproduction
A serial killer who shocked London in the 19th century. Also known as "Jack the Ripper." To be precise, "Jack the Ripper's true identity is not the spirit of an aborted baby," but "one of the possibilities for the unknown Jack the Ripper." There are countless different identities for Jack the Ripper that are engraved on the Throne of Heroes, and even if "his" true identity were revealed, as long as the legend of the "enigmatic murderer Jack the Ripper" is believed in, Jack's appearance will not be fixed, and he will take various forms depending on the place, era, master class, and master class he is summoned to.
