History Characters / FateStrangeFakeTrueServants

* LivingShadow: The type of being he [[spoiler: essentially is, living through shadows and even able to hide within the shadow of the world itself. Based on his backstory, he was this way even when he was alive through some unknown means: when he met the Founder, he already ''was'' a shadow.]]

* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: [[spoiler: What he effectively ''is'' to the First Hassan. He is the Shadow that grants First Hassan his legendary abilities to hide and kill]]

* LivingShadow: The type of being he essentially is, living through shadows and even able to hide within the shadow of the world itself. Based on his backstory, he was this way even when he was alive through some unknown means: when he met the Founder, he already ''was'' a shadow.

* TheBigGuy: He clocks in at 203 cm and 141 kg. [[spoiler:His size might be a way of foreshadowing his true identity as an aspect of Heracles.]]

* ThePowerOfRock: The moment he lays eyes on an electric guitar, it's love at first sight. His performance quickly ends up on Youtube and goes viral. [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer And that, kids, is how the world at large learns of the existence of Servants]], as the Mage's Association promptly freaks the fuck out. His civilian clothes can also be roughly described as a glam-rock outfit.

* OverusedCopyCatCharacter: Subverted. While she wears her hair similarly to Artoria (minus IdiotHair), Narita has said that she does not have Saberface.

* SemiDivine: He has Rank E- Divinity, because in life, he made contact with Beelzebub and shares some of the demon's blood and power.

* AnimalMotif: Saber is likened to a cat on occasion, and Watcher describes him as "a lion in a man's skin," [[spoiler:which is why he earned the title of Richard the Lionheart.]]

* LivingShadow: The type of being he essentially is, living through shadows and even able to hide within the shadow of the world itself. Based on his backstory, he was this way even when he was alive through some unknown means: when he met the Founder, he already *was* a shadow.

!!Hassan-i-Sabbah (Hassan of the Ghostly Weft)

!![[spoiler:Alcides]]

!![[spoiler:Richard I the Lionheart]]

Ayaka's Servant. Due to the nature of the War, there is no Saber-class Servant, but Ayaka Sajyou somehow summons a Saber separate from the system, who claims his purpose is to return the false war to the path of a real Holy Grail War. His true identity is [[spoiler:UsefulNotes/RichardTheLionheart.]]

* RedHeadedHero: Coloured illustrations reveal that she has dark red hair.

* TheHashshashin: One of the leaders.[[spoiler: Or, rather, the shadow of the founder.]]

* RedHerring: [[spoiler:Although many assumed that True Berserker was Edison, various hints have indicated that, although Haruri might have intended to summon Edison with the light bulb, the Servant may not actually be him. Vol.5 seems to imply that True Berserker is Huwawa, as while attacking the forest it gives off a roar that is compared to Enkidu's and leaves Gilgamesh terrified. The afterword for that Volume also has Narita recalling a conversation with Nasu about how Gilgamesh would react to meeting Huwawa.]]

* ModernMajorGeneral: In life, he was good at just about everything except governance and [[spoiler:English]]. Too bad he was [[spoiler:the king of England]]

* TaughtByExperience: He's able to dodge and block attacks from the Gate of Babylon partly because he already sparred with Enkidu, who fights in a similar way with his earth constructs.

* SamusIsAGirl: When Enkidu recognizes it, Enkidu reveals it is female. Enkidu's interlude in ''GO'' elaborates that of the thousands of human souls within it, a single little girl was the only one to retain her sanity.

* HundredPercentAdorationRating: With a twist--Saber was quite loved by his people, but this was due entirely to personal charisma rather than anything resembling good policy. This only further enabled his destructive tendencies, as coups against him [[spoiler:such as Prince John's]] could never garner the support needed to be successful.
-->'''Watcher:''' He's a lion in a man's skin, but the people still loved him. He might have some secret trick for manipulating the human heart. Keep a wary eye on him.

* TheCharmer: He takes this to the point of a superpower, and perhaps his most dangerous one. Saber was able to maintain a HundredPercentAdorationRating in life and be revered posthumously as a hero despite his bloody and disastrous reign because he was just that damn charming and charismatic.
