Servant Profile: Ruler (Fisher King) Basic Information Class: Ruler True Name: The Fisher King Gender: Male Source: Arthurian Legend (King of the Fishermen, keeper of the Holy Grail) Region: Avalon (The Isle of the Blessed) Alignment: Chaotic Good Height: 183 cm Weight: 85 kg Parameters Strength: B Endurance: A Agility: C Mana: A+ Luck: B Noble Phantasm: A++ Background The Fisher King is one of the most enigmatic figures in Arthurian legend, serving as the guardian of the Holy Grail. A wounded king who lives in a state of perpetual suffering due to a grievous injury, the Fisher King's plight is both mystical and tragic. His kingdom, which is linked to the Holy Grail, is said to be in a state of desolation, with the land itself suffering from his wound. The Fisher King is a symbol of divine kingship and sacrificial duty, holding onto his position of power despite the curse that ties him to a wounded existence. This curse affects not just his own health, but the prosperity of the land and the sacred relic he guards. In the legends, the healing of the Fisher King’s wound is tied to the quest for the Holy Grail, with the Grail itself offering the potential for both physical and spiritual restoration. In Fate/Grand Order, the Fisher King is summoned as a Ruler-class Servant, embodying the themes of sacrifice, duty, and divine suffering. He represents the intersection of kingship and martyrdom, standing as both a guardian of the sacred and a tragic figure marked by divine intervention. His very existence is tied to the fate of others, and as a Ruler, he is tasked with both protecting the Holy Grail and ensuring that the forces of justice and divinity remain in balance. Personality The Fisher King is a solemn, noble, and wise figure, carrying the weight of his duties with a quiet sense of dignity. His spirit is tempered by years of suffering, but his resolve remains unbroken. He has a strong sense of justice and an unwavering commitment to his role as the guardian of the Holy Grail, understanding that his personal pain is a necessary sacrifice for the greater good. Though he often feels the burden of his curse, he remains resolute in his duty to protect the sacred relic and guide those who seek it. While deeply noble, the Fisher King’s melancholy is ever-present. He often speaks with a tone of sorrow, reflecting on the nature of suffering, the impermanence of kingship, and the bittersweet nature of duty. He does not seek personal glory or recognition; rather, he exists to ensure that others can find hope and healing through the Grail. His leadership style is one of quiet, steadfast guidance, seeking to inspire others through his actions rather than words. "I am bound by a curse of divine will, a king who serves in silence, yet my duty is to guide the worthy to the Holy Grail. If my suffering is the price for salvation, then I shall bear it without hesitation." Skills Sacred Protector (A) The Fisher King holds an innate connection to the Holy Grail, granting him unparalleled protective abilities. This skill allows him to defend the innocent and ensure the sanctity of the Grail by blocking harmful influences. It manifests as a barrier against dark forces that seek to defile the Holy Grail or its guardians, and also boosts his defense against all forms of curses or magical ailments. Additionally, it offers a healing effect to allies when the Fisher King is near death, as if the Grail itself were extending its mercy. Wound of the Fisher King (A+) The Fisher King’s wound, a mark of divine suffering, is not just a physical injury but a symbol of his martyrdom. This skill grants the Fisher King a unique form of resilience, allowing him to withstand damage that would be fatal to others. It also weakens his enemies’ morale, as the Fisher King’s presence evokes pity and a reminder of the cost of power and sacrifice. The more the Fisher King suffers in battle, the stronger this skill becomes, symbolizing how his pain can fuel his continued defense of the Grail. Guiding Light of the Grail (B) This skill allows the Fisher King to guide those who seek the Holy Grail, whether they be allies or foes. It manifests as an aura of hope, leading the righteous to the Grail’s power and protecting them from destructive forces. This skill also boosts the morale and combat capabilities of allies who are aligned with the ideals of justice and sacrifice, offering a temporary increase in their attack and defense abilities. The Fisher King's light, however, can be a double-edged sword, as it can also expose the weaknesses of those who pursue the Grail with impure intentions. Noble Phantasm "Grailkeeper’s Curse – The Bound Kingdom of Avalon" (A++) (The Kingdom’s Desolation) The Fisher King's Noble Phantasm is an embodiment of his dual nature as both a guardian and a cursed king. "Grailkeeper’s Curse" is an area-of-effect ability that unleashes the power of the Holy Grail while also bringing forth the suffering associated with its curse. The Fisher King’s wound, coupled with his divine guardianship, causes the land to become desolate while also offering hope for those who prove worthy. Effect: This Noble Phantasm creates a vast, mist-covered area that both heals allies and debilitates enemies. Allies within range have their health restored, and their NP generation speed increases. However, enemies are subjected to a curse that weakens their defenses and resistance, as the land itself becomes barren and lifeless. For every ally healed, the Fisher King suffers a corresponding amount of pain, his wound growing worse with each act of kindness. However, those who are spiritually worthy—like the knights of the Round Table—will find themselves greatly empowered in the presence of the Fisher King’s curse. "A kingdom stands, yet it crumbles. A Grail shines, yet it is shrouded in sorrow. My suffering is eternal, but in my wound, the promise of salvation endures." Relationships Arthur Pendragon (Saber): As the sovereign of the Round Table, Arthur and the Fisher King share a deep connection. Both are figures of immense nobility and duty, though their fates diverged greatly. Arthur respects the Fisher King’s sacrifice and sees him as a reflection of the weight of kingship. They share a silent understanding of the burden of leadership. Lancelot du Lac (Rider): Lancelot’s tragic fate, marked by internal strife and loss, strikes a chord with the Fisher King. He sees Lancelot as a reflection of the struggles faced by many knights, those who seek honor but are driven into despair. Gawain (Saber): Gawain is another figure who shares a sense of duty, and the Fisher King sees him as someone who carries the ideals of knighthood with purity and conviction. They share a deep respect for each other, understanding that their duty is sacred and unyielding. Mordred (Rider): Mordred’s defiance against the ideals of Camelot and her struggle with her own destiny make her a complex figure in the Fisher King’s eyes. He does not see her as an enemy, but as a tragic figure whose fate was sealed by forces beyond her control. He wishes for her redemption, but knows that such desires may never come to pass. Summoning Line "I am the Fisher King, keeper of the Grail and bound by the curse of my own kingdom. My pain is the price of divine will, but in this suffering, I shall continue to guide those worthy of the Grail’s light. Who among you seeks salvation, and who seeks ruin?"
