WMG / Lord El-Melloi II Case Files

All spoilers on this page are left unmarked. You Have Been Warned!

Gray intentionally spells her name with an "a" instead of the British spelling...

• To create another degree of separation to the Legend of King Arthur.
  • According to the writer Sanda Makoto, he chose "Gray" instead of "Grey" because Gray is closer to "inbetween white and black."

Gray's name isn't the color at all. It's the first part of "Grave."

• She refers to "Grave" when she unleashes Rhongomyniad, whose default form is a grim-reaper style scythe and she refers to herself as a "grave-keeper", who has powers most effective against the undead.

Hephaestion will make an appearance in the anime.

• Seeing that the anime will be adapting Volumes 4 and 5 of the novels where Faker, Hephaestion's sister, makes her first appearance.
• And seeing that Lord Melloi II is often compared to Eumenes, we might see him as well.

The reason why Ernest Fargo abused his daughter and her maid in the first place

• Although it wasn’t stated his reason why he abused Mary and her maid, Claire in Episode 2, but it's assuming that he found out his daughter is a lesbian. Which makes sense due to him being a magus; he wanted his bloodline to carry over to the next generation. He fears that if Mary decides to end his legacy with her, then the Fargo bloodline will die out. That explains why Fargo wants to become immortal so that he can continue the bloodline by himself.

Waver's voice deepened due to his frequent smoking.

• In the anime at age 22, his voice is still the same as he was at 19 in Fate/Zero, but after teaching the El-Melloi class for 3 years, his voice becomes deeper, and by age 29, his voice is incredibly deep.

Waver has some Asian heritage

1. His appearance is a bit ethnically ambiguous — not necessarily Asian, but not necessarily white either.
2. In episode 13, he mentions being a "cheap drunk" and develops a bright pink Drunken Glow from drinking. This could be caused by the alcohol flush reaction that's most common in people of East Asian descent.

Related to the above, Waver's possible East Asian genetics may be the very reason why he is the host for Zhuge Liang in Fate/Grand Order.

• In fact, much like Shirou Emiya's possible direct descent from Muramasa (as implied in Shimosa), Waver's potential distant relation to Zhuge Liang makes him the best compatible host for his Saint Graph.

Sun Wukong was / is a Xian.

The Adventures of Lord El-Melloi Volume 1 establish that his "prototype" Wuzhiqi is a Xian, so it's not a stretch. This would also explain the absolutely immortality that the Monkey King showed in the myth, immortality peaches, wine, and pills notwithstanding.

The first thing Reines will do as a lord is hire Waver as an advisor

• There is no way that little miss sadistic is going to drop her favorite toy. Thus, after she comes of age and claims the "lord" title from Waver, the very first thing she is going to do is tell him that he is her new chief advisor/representative/etc. After all, her "dear elder brother" has so much experience with Clock Tower's inner workings and so many connections to other magi, including many Pride-rank former students, and so much knowledge of Mystics, that his value as a subordinate cannot be calculated. Thus, he will get a new fancy title to replace "Lord El-Mello II", but he will continue doing the same things he's been doing as a lord, including amusing Reines by taking difficult cases.
