Author's Note: Pigeonhole's not supposed to be taken seriously, so please don't take it seriously. An imitation of Fuyuki wiki and generic English translations, its occasional broken and awkward syntax is done with full intention. This is merely a compilation of (somewhat) plausible heroes that were rejected by the Holy Grail/Magi summoning them for whatever reason. Expect more small entries like these in the future.


Class: Rider

True Identity: Chesley B. Sullenberger. A former U.S. air force captain turned commercial-jetliner pilot. Known to be a cool, level-headed individual. He was recruited into the Throne of Heroes because of his ability to literally defy death - having managed to miraculously save everyone on his plane as it crashed into the river during an accident involving ducks and his flight.

Famous quote:

"There's been an accident. We hit birds. We lost both engines. We're not going to go into the city - let me try something else."

Master: ???
Alignment: Neutral Good
Noble Phantasm: EX
Strength: D
Endurance: D
Agility: C
Mana: C
Luck: EX

Abilities:

Charisma

Rank: C(B)
In the face of certain death, Rider was able to command the evacuation process off the plane with a cool and level head. Rider must have had a commanding presence indeed, but because he was merely a pilot, this rank was reduced by one.

Eye of the Mind (True)

Rank: B
The ability to effectuate rapid and precise judgments gained through experience and training. Rider is capable of calmly analyzing situations even during a battle, applying strategy and skills to turn the tables in his favor. As long as there is at least a 1% chance of victory, he is able to devise a plan to exploit that possibility. This incidentally include flying broken airplanes.

Riding

Rank: A+
The ability to ride beasts and vehicles. At this rank, Rider is capable of handling any form of mount be it an animal or an object, even creatures on the level of Divine Beasts. However, Rider prefers using modern machinery and objects over actual ridable creatures.

Coolheadedness:

Rank: A+
Ability to ignore any mental interference such as coercion, confusion, or illusions. No matter what happens, Rider is incapable of being distracted or being psychologically disturbed by any event. Only gained after using his first Noble Phantasm.


Noble Phantasms:

Double Latte: Morning cup of coffee

Rank: C
Type: Anti-Personnel.
Max Target: 1

This mug of hot coffee never leaves Rider's side. Not only is it delicious, but Rider also gains the Coolheadedness ability immediately during the consumption. This ability lasts for as long as it is necessary - in other words, it depend on the severity of the situation. The coffee will refill itself after approximately two hours. Alternatively, flinging the coffee mug (with or without coffee still in it) at the opponent can do a surprisingly large amount of damage.

Remarkable Airmanship: The Captain's Hat

Rank: E-A
Type: Support
Max Target: 1

This seemingly innocent cap, given to all graduates of the United States Air Force Academy is one of Rider's most prized possessions. With it, Rider gains a small amount of physical and magical defense. More importantly, it allows him to turn any operable machinery into one that is capable of flight. When used on military aircrafts or other aircrafts, their stats are boosted to the level of a Noble Phantasm and their offensive, defensive and evasive capabilities are boosted tremendously.

Interceptor: F-4 Phantom II

Rank: B
Type: Support

This is the type of aircraft that Rider once flew in as a captain of the United States Airforce. Rider can summon the plane at any given moment should he chooses to do so.

Miracle Over Hudson River: True Miracle Crash Landing

Rank: EX
Type: Support
Maximum targets: 1-155

Requires some sort of airplane to activate. The plane must be currently in flight. When initiated as a Noble Phantasm, Miracle Over Hudson River takes the form of an Airbus A320 and immerses its user into a tranquil domain, virtually a "miracle landing". While bounded in this manner, all individual within the Airbus A320 are shielded from all destructive interference in the physical realm, from parallel worlds, and dimensional planes.

By using this Noble Phantasm, Rider is able to automatically crash-land into the nearest body of sizable water, causing a substantial amount of damage to whatever or whoever that happens to be in the water below his plane at the moment. If no large contiguous body of water is found within the nearest 1000 miles, he (and everyone on the plane) will reappear in the Hudson River instead. The defensive effects will last until each and every passenger have evacuated the danger zone and Rider have personally double-checked to make sure that everyone is safe. The plane will be destroyed after activation.

Erranta/Reason for rejection: Was passed over in favor of Alexander the Great, then CuChulainn in the 4th and 5th Heaven's Feel. Weakness to birds was too much of a drawback.
