Overview
A "Magician" class Servant.
A man hiding his body in a blue cloak, bodysuit, and faceless mask.
He was summoned by Roche Frayne Yggdmillennia during the Holy Grail War.
Character Profile
Because he conceals his face and appearance, he at first glance appears to be a seasoned magician or a haughty intellectual. However, contrary to expectations, he speaks with a youthful air and uses the first-person pronoun "boku."
He is an extreme pessimist and never speaks more than necessary. However, he is not as pathologically misanthropic as legend suggests, and he converses normally with his Master Roche and his sponsor Darnic.
However, due to his illness, he was often reclusive during his lifetime, so he still has difficulty socializing. He has absolutely no connection with children, and could never imagine one becoming attached to him, so he actually has a bit of a hard time with his Master, Roche.
His wish for the Holy Grail is a bit complicated: "The completion of my own Noble Phantasm, the Golem, Ketermalkuth (Crown of Wisdom)." However, completing it as a Noble Phantasm would be considered "incomplete," and this is heavily influenced by the ideas of Kabbalah.
The word "golem" is actually a form of Kabbalah art, and its name means "fetus" or "unformed." In other words, it is a form of magic that recreates the secret art used by God to create the first humans, and something that simply wields power as a powerful weapon would by no means be the "perfected being" he desires.
"A great king who will guide us, amidst all our hardships, back to the Garden of Eden" -- that is the role Avicebron seeks for the ultimate golem. Due to his profound goal, he is a seeker who always wishes to "create a better Noble Phantasm," and he regrets that Gold is the only sacrifice available to serve as the Noble Phantasm's core. However, his way of being is fundamentally different from that of an "artisan," who pours his soul, beliefs, pride, and skill into his work. He possesses only a "faith" to create the ultimate being, something that people can believe in and look up to.
True Name
His true name is Avicebron. Also known as Solomon ibn Gabyrol.
He was one of the philosophers who helped launch the Renaissance in medieval Europe in the 11th century, and a magician who mastered "golems." He created the magical foundation known as "Kabbalah," derived from the Hebrew word for "receive," and had a profound impact on the world of magicians.
He was summoned at roughly the same time as Lancer, two months before the start of the Holy Grail War.
His Master, Roche, respectfully calls him "Sensei." Afterward, together with him, he devoted himself to the castle's workshop, producing golems to be used as soldiers in the Holy Grail War and designing and developing Noble Phantasms.
Abilities
As a magician, his abilities are solely focused on golems.
In addition to creating a wide variety of golems, he can manually control large numbers of golems within his line of sight.
However, since all materials needed to create golems, including his Noble Phantasm, must be procured independently, creating a large, high-quality golem army requires the appropriate connections and financial resources.
This is only possible thanks to the generous support of his patron, Darnic, who has poured over 30% of his personal fortune into his Noble Phantasm alone.
Noble Phantasm: Crown: Light of Wisdom (Golem Ketermalkuth)
A supreme golem that Caster wished to complete during his lifetime but was unable to do so.
Noble Phantasms are usually already completed, and aside from the conditions required to activate them, there are no materials necessary for them themselves. However, there are exceptions: objects too large to be possessed by a single Heroic Spirit, or objects so incomplete they are carved into legend. These Noble Phantasms must also be crafted using present-day materials after the Caster manifests into the world in order to activate them.
The materials used are natural objects such as earth, wood, and stone. They are approximately 15 meters in size. Their appearance seems to incorporate the grandeur of nature as it is, and their appearance has been described as beautiful and divine. Furthermore, once summoned as a Noble Phantasm, they become natural devourers that continue to seek out an endless supply of magical power, and therefore require a human body with first-class magical circuits as their "core."
Since they are cast from scratch after manifesting into the world, their abilities naturally depend on the materials used and the quality of the casting process. Therefore, in order to perfect it as a Noble Phantasm of even higher quality,
Its true identity is an autonomous unique barrier that continues to repaint the world into "Paradise (Eden)" simply by existing, and it is the king, guardian, and savior who leads a suffering race to paradise. It is the golem most faithful to the original, that is, the reincarnation of the "original human (Adam)," and aims to imitate and reproduce the miracles of its master. It is even described as "a crystallization of miracles that transcends the realm of Noble Phantasms," a cherished wish of Kabbalists.
In addition to the ability to transform its surroundings into another world, it possesses the restoration and regeneration ability, thanks to a blessing from the earth, which renders all damage it has received unrecovered. The longer it exists, the greater the power of paradise that transforms the world around it becomes, and the greater the power of paradise, the faster the titan's own restoration speed skyrockets, turning it into an inviolable, immortal being that cannot even be scratched.
It also possesses its own intelligence to carry out its assigned role, and is capable of creating obsidian swords for close combat. Although it has no experience when created, it possesses an incredibly accelerated learning ability, and with the physical strength of its massive body and skills belying its size, it rises to the level of a hero, and its offensive abilities also increase.
The only way to destroy it is to sever contact with the earth before the paradise is completed, and then simultaneously destroy the spiritual core in its head and the reactor core in its chest without a split second of error.
Caster of Red
Profile
Real Name: William Shakespeare
Height: 180cm
Weight: 75kg
Source: Historical
Region: England
Alignment: Neutral/Moderate
Image Color: Golden Yellow
Special Skill: Writing timeless best-selling works

CV: Toru Inada
Overview
A Caster Servant appearing in "Fate/Apocrypha."
A Heroic Spirit of the "Red" faction, prepared by the Mage's Association to oppose the Yggdmillennia Clan.
Although his Master is semi-puppeted by Shirou Kotomine, he is aware of this and continues to support him, calling him "Master." However, he does not simply obey, but acts selfishly, such as tempting Berserker to join the enemy camp.
True Name
Legendary English playwright William Shakespeare. He is particularly famous for his four great tragedies, including "Hamlet."
Though he was a famous author, half of his life is shrouded in mystery.
Nevertheless, he wrote several works, and his fame knew no bounds.
Apparently, he was so envied that a senior playwright of his time called him an "upstart crow."
Shakespeare uses short, effective words to expose what humans normally hide.
Perhaps it's the shock of being suddenly confronted with something vague and intangible.
Character Profile
A character with little sense of involvement, who sees things from outside the story. He judges others, treating those he finds boring coldly, but stalking those who seem interesting and repeatedly asking rude questions. He is also a narcissist, and quotes passages from his own works in his lines.
Lately, he has also taken a liking to modern vocabulary such as "death flag."
He himself has no fighting ability, but is able to strengthen his Master and have them fight Servants in his place. He enjoys watching the battles from a safe distance, asking about their thoughts every time.
While fellow cultured caster Hans Christian Andersen is described as a "twisted, sarcastic man who hates people," Shakespeare has the complete opposite personality, being a "human-loving, meddlesome prankster."
One of the most "non-fighting" Servants in the Holy Grail War.
The more interesting the Master's choices, the sharper his writing becomes; conversely, the more mediocre they are, the more he will lose motivation and abandon the story.
This seems to remain the same no matter the situation.
Abilities
Despite being a Caster, he possesses none of the abilities of a normal magician (this is covered by Assassin).
He himself irritates his Master by watching battles as a spectator and listening to their every word. In other words, he doesn't fight at all.
Noble Phantasm: The time for the performance to begin has come, and here comes a thunderous ovation (First Folio)
A world-altering anti-psychotic Noble Phantasm that influences the target's mind, causing them to experience Shakespeare's stories as if they were hallucinations. It blocks the world, creates a script, and forces the story to happen.
Since this Noble Phantasm relies on the memories and perceptions of both the Caster and the target, while it can vividly project familiar faces, it has limitations in recreating scenes that are unreal to both parties.
