Biography:

Older sister to Mary Magdalene and Lazarus, Martha was part of one of the first congregations to gather around Jesus and His holy message, and a stern, even stubborn preacher of the early Christian faith. A simple city girl driven to become a more eloquent person, her natural earnest personality will often show through her otherwise honest and sincere saintly disposition, especially when under distress or when provoked.

After the Messiah's crucifixion, Martha was pursued by the enemies of the faith all the way over to France, where she was approached to placate Tarasque, one of the last dragons, an evil creature that would sink ships and devour human beasts ravenously. Through a combination of unconditional love and hard hitting physical violence, Martha ended the threat of Tarasque and earned his everlasting devotion, freeing the locals and becoming a heroine of the region.

Class Skills:

Magic Resistance: EX

As the arbiter of the Holy Grail War and a woman of unwavering faith blessed by God, Ruler is unaffected by any incantations from magic users of the modern era short the rank of a Sorcerer Supreme or Guardian of Order. Church sacraments and relics are also useless against her, and may in fact empower her further. As for Servants, only mages from the Age of Gods with spells ranked A or above may hurt her.

God's Resolution: A

The ability to enact control over a Grail War judiciously disposing of undesired elements disrupting the course of Heaven's Feel. This manifests as seven sets of three command seals each, which allows Ruler to bind Servants of the main classes to her will, granting her three absolute orders per Servant. Ruler may even command a Servant to commit suicide. However, the ability is restricted to only seven Servants at a summon, and should there be two or more Servants of a single class present, Ruler only has domain over one. Additionally, this Skill will not work on Foreigners, Avengers, Moon Cancers, Alter Egos, Gatekeepers, Magical Girls, Shielders, Monsters, Savers, Beasts, Watchers, Temptresses, Gunners, or other Rulers.

True Name Discernment: C

The ability gifted to a Ruler of assessing the Class, True Identities, and basic parameters of the Servants fighting in a Grail War by merely looking at them. A type of divine insight, it is limited in the sense that, while all Classes can be identified as such, the True Identities and parameters only can be ascertained in the cases of Sabers, Archers, Lancers, Riders, Casters and Berserkers. Assassins are protected by their Presence Concealment, and the other classes are anomalies that fall beyond Ruler's jurisdiction.

Personal Skills:

Dragon Riding: EX

Ruler's legend, that of taming the ferocious dragon Tarasque, allows her domain over any beasts of the draconic species, which become manageable mounts under her direction. However, not being summoned as Rider takes Martha's capacity to ride any other animal or vehicle away. Left in a boat, she cannot do anything else but float away on it. However…

Saint of the Waterside: B+

Ruler's loss of direct control over seacraft is countered by this Skill, which grants her a connection to any large bodies of water. Since she arrived to Europe by drifting on a boat guided by God's providence, and she subdued Tarasque by the riverbank of the Rhone, not only Ruler is able to indirectly influence the flow of tides in her favor, but her offensive power rises one rank or two whenever she is in the water, depending on the amounts of available liquid.

Divinity: C

A confirmed Saint by the Catholic Church, Ruler is a faithful follower of the True Messiah, who walked along him in life, and became an object of reverence and faith after her death.

Jacob's Limbs: C

The ancient method of hand to hand combat created by patriarch Jacob to wrestle an angel, and passed through generations of especially enlightened practitioners, including Moses and Martha. This Skill gains a full rank when applied on opponents with the Divinity trait. Beyond this, she also can pummel adversaries brutally with her cross shaped staff.

Noble Phantasm:

Tarasque- The Pitiful Dragon that Did Not Know Love: A

The summon of the gigantic river dragon of Martha's legend, made possible by Ruler's triumph over it. A fearsome beast of six legs and a long tail armed with a sting like a scorpion's, Tarasque only obeys—and fears—Martha, who at times would seem to be obliviously abusive towards him. This includes using him as a living ramming projectile against the enemy. As Tarasque is a primal beast born from Leviathan itself, and armed with a thick scaly shell, the crash is devastating, comparable to the impact of a concentrated megaton bomb. This Noble Phantasm can be used only once per week at most since it consumes large amounts of prana, plus Tarasque is badly damaged himself and will need extensive recovery time afterwards.

Summon: "Peace be with you. I am Ruler, the supervisor for this Holy Grail War. During this campaign, I will be under your care."

Battle Start: "Repent your sins!"

Victory: "Well? Haven't you repented just yet?!"

"Look back upon your misdeeds and regret them…"

Defeat: "Forgive me, Lord, for I have failed…!"

"Not all is lost yet, though."

Defeat by Noble Phantasm: "But it's been written, someday we all will rise again under His command…"

Noble Phantasm Activation: "Lend me your strength! In the name of our Lord! Heed my call, Tarasque!"

Other Dialogue:

"… the scourge of God, you say…" (When you have Saber Altera.)

"The devil, you say?!" (When you have Caster Mephistopheles.)

"What… What is this abomination?!" (When you have Assassin Spawn.)

Birthday: "While we don't really celebrate birthdays as such, it's always joyous to be reminded of your birth, Master. Thanks to you, I… I…"

Event: "What a joyful occasion. Let us head there, Master. The grace of the Lord will be upon us."

Holy Grail: "Naturally, I have no desire for it myself. My labor here is merely overviewing the struggle for it. If I must be honest, I don't even like it… It is naught but a cheap copy of what never should have been duplicated…"
