Saber of Red

Master: Leonidas Argas

True Identity: Galahad

Alternative Class: Lancer and Shielder

Alignment: Lawful Good

Catalyst: Shard of the Round Table

Notes: The greatest knight to have ever joined the Round Table, hailed in the whole world as the one and only Best Knight worthy of sitting in the Siege Perilous and to retrieve the Shield of Evalach. An ideal of chivalry as well as a pure individual incapable of comitting any sin. He is a top class Servant, probably one of the strongest summonable Saber that can overcome any obstacle.

In truth, the knight known as Galahad is not fully mortal: if his body is that of a human, his core is something on the level of a Divine Construct, an envoy of God tasked with returning the Holy Grail to Heavens. While this has granted him great powers, it also came at the cost of many things humans would take for granted. He has little care for his own life and his own needs, to the point that he would pass up on the opportunity to have his wish granted. Instead, he fully devotes himself to other people even though he had a hard time empathizing with humans.

Because of the nature of his Master, Saber's Strength rank decreased to the benefit of his Endurance

Class Skills

Riding (B):

Most vehicles can be handled with above average skill. However, cannot ride the likes of Phantasm Races such as Monstrous Beasts.

Magic Resistance (A):

Cancel spells of A-Rank or below. In practice, Saber is untouchable by modern magi. Saber's high rank is a result of being blessed by Heavens since before his birth.

Personal Skills

Charisma (C):

Saber doesn't have the personality of a ruler and would normally not enforce his will on anyone unless it is for somebody's sake. Although he technically has ruled over the Holy City for an entire year, he mostly owes this skill to his natural charisma a the Perfect Knight. The morale of allies increases greatly; as long as he's here, losing hope in the face of defeat is unthinkable.

Instinct (A):

Refined sixth sense is now close to true precognition. Bonus effect of reducing by half the penalties caused by obstructed vision and hearing. A skill not originally possessed by Saber but which was granted to him through God's blessing.

Heavenly Cup (EX):

A skill denoting Saber's true essence as a Divine Construct. No matter the nature of the attack, his body is extremely resistant to damage.

Chosen One (EX):

Embodiment of one's luck as the chosen one. All of Saber's Luck Check are always successful. However the effect will decrease if an opponent has a skill or Noble Phantasm with a similar effect or which affect Saber's own Luck. This also result in Saber's nature being that of "an individual who is always at the right place as the right time".

Noble Phantasm

Sword with the Red Hilt: Sword of Destiny (A+)

Anti-Unit

The Sword of the Chosen One.

On the same day Saber arrived in Camelot and sat on the Siege Perilous, a stone had come floating down a river with this sword embedded in it. Only the one worthy of wielding it would be able to draw it from the rock, and as that one turned out to be Saber, it can be said that this sword has a deep connection to his true nature. It is also possible that it is the sword once owned by Sir Balin, who proved his virtue by being able to draw it, but doomed himself by refusing to return it. Whatever the truth might be, this golden sword is indeed the Sword of the Chosen One, a weapon that also symbolizes his owner's destiny.

A weapon to surpass all obstacles and reach one's destination. In a way, this is an absurd, unfair weapon that allow one to triumph over trials. However, Saber might not be completely aware of that, since he swapped it for a different sword in the middle of his quest for the Grail. Or maybe he simply didn't feel the need for it. At any rate, this is the weapon that allows him to be summoned in the Saber class, an unparalleled holy sword with no equivalent. As a Noble Phantasm, it once again represents Saber's ability to break through all the obstacles on his path.

It does have a few restrictions on it, however, as it is a blade that will only accept the most virtuous of all knights. First of all, the battle must be a fair one; Saber cannot strike an opponent without their knowledge. Moreover, the opponent must be stronger than him, at least to a point where his basic power is not enough to beat them. If he tried to use it on someone weaker than him, or if he tried to do a sneak attack, the blade's golden light will not harm them and Saber will receive a punishment.

From the moment this Noble Phantasm's name is called out, the battle has been won: the tip of the blade, the "destiny" that has been secured, shines in the distance.

Because this Noble Phantasm identifies an "obstacle" as its target, its classification is Anti-Unit.

Lord Arimathea: Unbreachable Wall of Duty (A+)

Barrier, Anti-Evil

The Shield of Evalach which passed through several hands but was ultimately destined to Saber, the only one who was allowed to carry it. A holy shield of the highest rank, capable of defending against power that could come crashing against it. When its true name is called out, the light contained within the shield is unleashed and will form an indestructible wall that will hold on as long as its user's heart is unbroken. Thanks to Galahad's essence as a Divine Construct, its power is further amplified.

Because of its intangible nature, it is possible to increase the range of the wall of light. There is virtually no limit to how much Saber can protect as long as he desires it, but increazing the size of the shield will also increase the cost exponentially. For comparisons, it is less costly to keep it up for a prolonged time than to enlarge it.

Sangreal: A Light to Strike Down the Darkness (E~EX)

Anti-Evil

When the human known as Galahad was born, he already held something divine within him, an artifact tailored for him whose birth had been predicted for centuries. A Divine Construct made long after the Age of Gods was over, a Holy Grail different from the one containing the blood of the Christ, and different yet from the one at the centre of the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki. Instead of containing blood or wishes, it is a cup filled with pure holy light capable of cleansing evil and destroying demons. Becoming the receptacle for this cup was the true purpose behind Saber's birth and he considers it as his true self over his body of flesh and blood.

After all, it is because he houses such an artifact within himself that he became the Perfect Knight yet also lost a part of his humanity. His life as well was defined by it: his only purpose became to seek its sister Grail and return it to heavens.

As a Noble Phantasm, it is the act of removing his physical form and unveiling the cup to let its light flow and purge darkness. The more sins one has accumulated throughout their lifetime, the greater the pain they feel and the more damage their body receive. Those who forsook a path of righteousness and abandoned themselves to comitting atrocities will be scorched down to their Saint Graph until nothing remains. Incidentally, there was an episode of Saber's quest for the Holy Grail in which he defeated seven knights each representing a different Deadly Sin. Whether that truly happened or if it was a metaphor for his true ability, he won't say.

As though it were a power taken straight out of a fairy tale, it is a power that can banish demons, monstrous or humans alike, and bring forth a new dawn of hope.

However, Galahad would rather not use this Noble Phantasm if he can help it.
