Tales as Old as Time.

At first I wanted to do a Jason Macendale Hobgoblin file, but the character had so many identities- Regular Hobgoblin, Demogoblin, Cybernetic Hobgoblin- it was difficult integrating them all into a single take, so Roderick it was.

But I unironically like Macendale. That Todd Mc Farlane story with him may have been rubbish, but as a kid I loved it.

Biography:

A mongul of fashion and parfume, Roderick Kingsley was often seen as an effeminate, inoffensive minor business player by New York's financial movers and shakers such as J. Jonah Jameson and Wilson Fisk. In truth Kingsley was a canny and calculating mastermind who played others like fiddles to gain more wealth and influence.

When a criminal working for him found the secret stash of Norman Osborn's weaponry as the Green Goblin, Kingsley had the man killed, and took the Green Goblin's cache for himself, dressing up as the first Hobgoblin.

A first fight with Spider-Man was a lopsided showdown Kingsley only escaped from through sheer luck. Driven to improve himself, Kingsley found Osborn's notes on the Green Goblin's serum, granting him superstrenght, and refined the formula so it wouldn't induce insanity in him. As the Hobgoblin, Kingsley plagued Spider-Man, becoming a manipulative player in the New York City crime scene, allied with Richard Fisk also known as The Rose.

When the pressure got too stressing on Kingsley, he hypnotized reporter Ned Leeds into thinking he had been the Hobgoblin all along and retired. Leeds was murdered by some men of The Foreigner short after that. A mercenary who had worked for the CIA, Jason Philip Macendale, took over the Hobgoblin's mantle. He wasn't very successful.

Years later, Kingsley got tired of Macendale making a mockery of the Hobgoblin name. He returned and killed Jason. Then he fought Spider-Man again, but finally was caught and sent to prison. He escaped with Norman Osborn's help, who used him as a pawn to dispose of the hero, but Kingsley fled to the Bahamas and established a new empire of supervillainy, branding the Hobgoblin identity to villains who wanted to make a name for themselves.

Class Skills:

Independent Action: A+

Roderick Kingsley doesn't like answering to anyone, and he is an extremely selfish person. He is able to stray away to look for information and scouting grounds on his own as a Servant, without the Master's say-so or orders for it.

He won't backstab an useful ally until they have survived said usefulness, but he must be watched over just in the event of a better offer being made by another. He can stay around for week and a half without a Master.

Personal Skills:

Legacy of the Green Goblin: A

Kingsley pillaged most of Norman Osborn's old hideous while Osborn was recovering from injuries received fighting Spider-Man and believed killed by the hero by the New York public. He seized most of the Green Goblin's paraphernalia for himself and worked to upgrade them.

These include the serum that gave the Green Goblin his enhanced Strength but without the mental twisting resulting from ingesting the liquid. Also a metal flying glider, pumpkin shaped bombs and sharp metal bat projectiles.

Golden Rule: B

Albeit not as wealthy as Norman Osborn, Kingsley was never lacking in money, not even after Osborn took most of his funds away. He keeps hidden stashes of money stored away anywhere else for such contingencies. He also is very apt at bouncing back from losing fortunes, building them again. Traveling and sustenance expenses will never be an issue, although a Master wasting money away frivolously will be seen as unwanted resource and preparations to replace them will quickly be put in motion by Archer.

Disengage: A

Roderick is not a coward, but he is extremely pragmatic and knows when to fold them. He won't flee at first sight, only once he has analyzed the odds and concluded that the only sane thing to do is escaping.

Information Erasure: A

When leaving a scene whether of a confrontation or a crime, those he left behind won't forget the Hobgoblin was there, but they will forget his secret identity if they learned it. Any data left by him on his true self is likewise deleted automatically. The only exception is if he revealed his identity willingly, something he would never want to do anyway.

Likewise, the issue of who is his Master will also be forgotten.

Noble Phantasm:

Actually it was Just Another Hob Goblin: A+

Whenever the Hobgoblin is killed he turns out to have just put another of the six men who wore the identity there. These men are Arnold 'Lefty' Donovan, Roderick's twin brother Daniel Kingsley, Jason Macendale, Kingsley's butler Claude, and Ned Leeds. Kingsley appears alive by the Master's side right afterwards.

As a Noble Phantasm functionally is not unlike Heracles' Nine Lives, but it doesn't grant immunity to the method used to kill a Hobgoblin, and once all decoys are killed Kingsley is next if he is struck down.

Gang War: D

Summon.

Anti-Army.

Up to 100 enemy units at a time.

As the agitator of several gang wars in New York from behind the scenes, Kingsley can push several armed thugs, faceless minor criminals who never achieved the notoriety needed to become Anti Heroic Spirits. They are equiped with machineguns, flamethrowers and throwing knives.

Depending on the available mana Archer can send up to 75 hitmen at a time. But they are easily dealt with by most powerful Servants, so they mostly work as a distraction.

Start of Battle:

"This isn't my first time as a hero... I still don't like it."

"Nothing personal. I'm just doing this for the pay."

"Normally, I'd be cracking wise about you before we start. But you're so pathetic, there's nothing funny about you."

"You will be squished like a spider. But I won't enjoy it as much."

"Green Goblin? You'll wish he had fought you!"

Attack:

"Ha ha ha ha ha!"

"Let's see if you like this!"

"Not bad! Lying! You're doing so badly!"

"What, are they throwing children at us?"

"Just like in the old times!"

Damage:

"You asked for it! Now it IS personal!"

"Nobody makes a fool of me!"

"A wiseguy, aren't you?"

"Keep calm, don't lose your head..."

"I got careless?"

Damage by Noble Phantasm: "What are you looking at?!"

Victory:

"Loser! You don't even deserve a spit!"

"If you wish so, you could pay a basic fee for induction in the Program to a Better Villainy."

"Send the Master your bill. Don't bother me with your whining."

"A man of wealth and fine tastes recognizes another at first sight! And you're neither, friend!"

"Hero or villain? Why would you care, also-ran?"

Defeat:

"But I've got a backup plan..."

"Well played."

"Victory is sweeter, of course..."

"Do you want me to beg? FEH!"

"Your talents are few, but they obviously include tons of luck!"

Summon: "No, your eyes are not playing tricks on you. I'm the Hobgoblin. Servant Archer. Why do I tell you this? Because selling your name is important in this biz. But the face under the mask? That's another matter, pal."

Noble Phantasm Activation:

Archer's first Noble Phantasm doesn't require a phrasing activation.

"Boys. I need you to help me with a little pest problem."

Extra Dialogue:

"Norman, Norman, Norman. Still getting too emotionally involved, aren't you?" (When you have Rider Green Goblin).

"So once again we cross paths! You never cease to amaze me, Spider-Man! Isn't there any way to kill you?!" (When you have Caster Spider-Man).

"Do you wish me to join your Sinister Six? My services don't come cheap!" (When you have Lancer Dr. Octopus).

"Is this mad dog the best villainy Gotham City has to offer? Maybe I should move there! It is a market ripe then!" (When you have Berserker or Assassin Joker).

"King Arthur? This fascinating lady? This most peerless beauty? How highly intriguing, heh heh..." (When you have Saber Artoria Pendragon).

Birthday: "A toast for you in your birthday. You, of course, can't drink yet. So stay here safely while I go party on your behalf!"

Event: "Now watch and learn. This is how business opportunities are seized."

Holy Grail: "Money, what else? It worked for that Director Marisbury, from what I learned."
