Maximilien Robespierre
The World's First Terrorist and a major instigator of the French Revolution. He appears as a Ghost in Chevalier d'Eon's Interlude.
- Achilles' Heel: Despite his monstrously large health bar, even using the future Raid Boss graphics, Robespierre is very susceptible to Instant Death... assuming, you know, you try it with zero hints from the game itself.
- Greater-Scope Villain: Though he only appeared in one interlude as a Ghost, Robespierre's influence as part of the French Revolution, helped lead Corday to try to fix things with an assassination, leading to her becoming a Heroic Spirit, Sanson executing large masses of people, include Marie Antoinette and caused her son Louis to manifest as an Avenger in Fate/Requiem, traumatizing Erice.
- Hoist by His Own Petard: Not only died by the guillotine he had used to oppress the French people, but he was attended to by Charles-Henri Sanson himself.
- Wake-Up Call Boss: Robespierre's Ghost was one of the first hints of the future difficulty of the game due to the sheer amount of health he carried being larger than any other enemy at the start of the game.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: For all the bloodshed he caused, D'Eon acknowledges that he ultimately wanted what's best for France.
Grendel
A monster famously killed by Beowulf in his legend. Beowulf explains that the reason the poem doesn't describe him in detail is that he is a protean being who can easily alter his form. He appears via chain summoning in Beowulf's interlude.
- Cannibalism Superpower: Grendel grows stronger by devouring the flesh of his victims, though this isn't the only reason why he does so.
- Card-Carrying Villain: Grendel feels that committing evil is exactly what makes him Grendel.
- It Can Think: Unlike most monsters, Grendel isn't fighting and killing for territory or survival— he's fully capable of reason, and enjoys what he does.
- Me's a Crowd: Grendel can use his powers to split into multiple bodies, leading to several boss fights with multiple foes, all of them Grendel.
- Scaled Up: During the final battle with his old nemesis, Grendel looks into his memories and takes on the form of the dragon that killed him. It goes about as well for him as this trope usually goes.
- Shapeshifter Guilt Trip: Grendel likes to use his telepathy in conjunction with shapeshifting to turn into forms that his prey has sentimental attachment to. During their second encounter, he takes on the shapes of Jeanne, Nero, and Drake from the first three Singularities after seeing into the party's memories. However, he also likes to pick forms that are combat-capable, just in case.
- Telepathy: Beowulf warns Mash and the protagonist that Grendel can peer into their thoughts and memories, and that he will use them to try to manipulate them.
- To Serve Man: Done, as Beowulf points out, not because he has any kind of compulsion to, even if devouring human flesh lets him get stronger. He just enjoys the perversity of butchering and eating people.
- Villainous Breakdown: After taking on the form of the dragon that killed Beowulf in life and getting trashed, he reacts with this. Beowulf mocks him, pointing out that the dragon only killed him when he was old and grey, while Grendel, in his true form, was the only monster to give him a fight for his life in his prime.
- Voluntary Shapeshifter: He can assume the forms of different monsters and even Servants. Beowulf needs Hrunting because it can sniff him out regardless of what form he takes.
- Wounded Gazelle Gambit: He tries posing as a wounded soldier to get a preemptive attack. Luckily, Beowulf prevents Mash from falling for it.
Victor Frankenstein
Victor Frankenstein is the creator of the artificial human Frankenstein from Mary Shelly's novel. Desiring to create the Original Human race, he planned to create two beings who would become the progenitors of this race, but seeing "Eve" as a failure and monster he abandoned his work and fled. He is mentioned in London and finally makes an appearance in Frankenstein's two Interludes.
- Adaptational Villainy: While Victor was never the nicest guy and a borderline narcissist with a tendency towards self-pity, he did care deeply for his family and refused to construct a mate for his creature on the grounds that they might make a race that would threaten humanity. That, and acknowledging that just because he makes one doesn’t mean the two will actually get along. This Victor is a downright sociopath who willingly constructs another creature to torment his creation. The possible motive of doing this because Fran killed his family out of sheer spite is not even mentioned.
- Gender Bender: As a result of forcibly taking over Eve's body, though he doesn't seem to mind too much.
- Grand Theft Me: Pulls this on Eve in Frankenstein's second Interlude, killing her before merging his own soul with her body to take control of it.
- It's All About Me: Because Fran, the end result of his experiments wasn't exactly as he imagined, he discarded her, viewing her as a lumbering failure. The thing is, despite her idiosyncrasies, Fran is by no means stupid and Avicebron's commented on how close she is to the primordial humanity. The implication is that if he'd been a little more patient and less self-centered, he'd have realized Fran was pretty much exactly what he wanted.
- Killed Offscreen: In London by Mephistopheles. The party is only able to find blown-apart pieces of his body.
- Licked by the Dog: In spite of knowing both sides of his story from talking to Fran and associating with Victor back when he was alive, Charles Babbage still believes the rogue scientist to be worthy of his respect.
- You Have Failed Me: Pulls this on Eve when Fran defeats her, disgusted that she lost to an apparent "failure".
Dark Krishna
A split personality of Arjuna's that takes the form of his charioteer Krishna.
- Split-Personality Takeover: Karna suspects this is what happened to compel Arjuna to absorb all the Hindu deities to become God Arjuna, and start accelerating the Yuga Cycle to create a perfect world, in Yugakshetra.
The Other Nursery Rhyme
A version of Nursery Rhyme that represents Nursery Rhyme's nature as a concept, to contrast the more "human" side, and acts as the main antagonist of Nursery Rhyme's Interlude.
Huwawa
The guardian beast of the Cedar Forest in Mesopotamian mythology, the child of Utu, and Enkidu's "caretaker". Despite being referred to as "female", in reality Huwawa was the result of the Mesopotamian gods fusing together the souls of 2,891 human children to create a "complete human", though the actual result was a monster in which the only soul that retained its sanity was a single girl's. She was called forth in Enkidu's second Interlude...or rather, the countless souls and beasts that make up her existence.
- I Am Legion: The Demonic Beasts that make up Huwawa's collective have a broken version of this, in that their minds are so fractured they can only make sentences by having each individual body say a single word of a sentence. And the sentences have a problem with going off in rambling, insane tangents.
- Mercy Kill: What Enkidu views putting Huwawa out of her misery to be, both in the original myth and again in their Interlude. They would prefer to find someway to save the tortured souls, but that is something beyond them.
- Many Spirits Inside of One: Huwawa is made up of 2,891 individual spirits... and only one of them retained their sanity.
- My Greatest Failure: She is Enkidu's greatest failure, their inability to save the collective that makes up her very being something that haunts them to this day.
- Psycho Prototype: Enkidu espouses she effectively is this to the likes of Artificial Humans such as Frankenstein and Mordred, and Mordred doesn't disagree upon seeing Huwawa herself and stating that she recognizes the spell used on her as the same one that Morgan le Fay used.
- The Unfought:
According to Nasu himself, Huwawa was resurrected during the events of "Seventh Singularity: Absolute Demonic Front, Babylonia" in the form of Death Huwawa. She never gets the chance to menace Chaldea directly due to Ibaraki and her bandit group keeping her at bay.
Vercingetorix
A Gallic warlord whom Julius Caesar defeated in his campaign against the Gauls. He was called forth by Boudica's hatred for Romans in Romulus-Quirinus' Interlude.
- Arch-Enemy: Caesar was his historical nemesis, with his campaign against Vercingetorix being the focus of his Commentarii.
- The Power of Hate: Like Boudica, his hatred for Romans is so great that he was able to manifest primarily based on Boudica's suppressed rage towards the Roman Founder-Deity.
Klingsor
A wicked mage who lived in Arthurian Britain and wanted to claim the Holy Spear Longinus. He is the villain of Percival's Interlude, in which the Protagonist has a dream of Percival's past.
- Adaptation Origin Connection: Klingsor himself, and his theft of Longinus, come from Richard Wagner's opera Parsifal. However in Fate he also instigated the battle between Sir Balin and King Pellam from Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur, a battle which was not a part of the opera. In general the Fate version of the Grail Quest seems to be a mix of Wagner and Malory.
- You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: He intended to kill his minion Kundry after defeating Percival. Unfortunately for him, Percival was the winner.
Divine Spirit Astraea
The true goddess Astraea, who comes to pass judgement on her Pseudo-Servant self.
- God Is Neutral: Her judgement is completely impartial, and she wants to force her servant self to remain a neutral god as well.
- God of Order: The greek goddess of justice and stars.
- Heel–Face Turn: After being defeated at the end of the interlude, she concedes that she always wanted to take humanity's side deep down and frees the protagonist from the dream.
- Knight Templar: She wants to stop her servant self from helping the protagonist against the Lostbelts because that's "taking a side" and as a goddess of justice, she's supposed to be impartial.
- Voluntary Shapeshifting: At first, she takes the form of the Count of Monte Cristo to lure the protagonist, since they're used to seeing the Count in their dreams.
