Sieg (Magus)

The unnamed magus, identified by his appearance as Servant , is a character appearing in the Grand Orders of Fate/Grand Order.
==Profile==
===Background===
Sieg was a late 19th century magus who hosted an auction masterminded by James Moriarty. Within the An Old Spider Spins Webs of Memory singularity, the auction and the proceedings of a Subcategory Holy Grail War are mixed together, so the exact events are not fully depicted.Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - An Old Spider Spins Webs of Memory, Section 1: A Little City's Tiny War
===Personality===
Like his family, Sieg respects the true Siegfried and has no interest in a pale imitation of the dragon slayer. His desperation to protect Siegfried's relic is such that he is willing to trigger a gang war or a conflict between mages by faking its theft or his own death.Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - An Old Spider Spins Webs of Memory, Section 5: Old Spider
===Appearance===
Through a phenomenon that affects Ritsuka Fujimaru during some rayshifts, they subconsciously substitute Sieg's name and appearance upon the magus to avoid the overwhelming visual stimulation that would come from the experience.

==== Event: An Old Spider Spins Webs of Memory ====
Desperate to protect the bloodstained linden leaf, his family’s relic, from being used as a catalyst to summon Siegfried in a Subcategory Holy Grail War, Sieg sought James Moriarty’s console, not knowing he was a Chaldean Servant. Under Moriarty’s advisement, he put the relic under the pretense it’s become a burden to him and invited the city’s gang leaders to bid on it, convincing them acquiring the relic would break the stalemate between them. He also invited three mages, among the many who heard he owned a powerful catalyst. They're each sponsored by a gang leader, who believed the winner of the Grail War will control the city. Sieg's plan is to steal the relic before the auction, hoping the bidders' suspicions of one another would prompt them to wipe each other out. Their deaths would trigger a gang war, which Sieg would use a cover to disappear with the relic. Moriarty, however, advised against going that far. Sieg would then act as Moriarty's employer, who tends the bar in his mansion.
Moriarty later introduces Ritsuka to Sieg as their employer. Sieg advises them to treat his guests with the respect they deserve and not to speak to them as if they’re on familiar terms, otherwise they’re free to handle their responsibilities as they see fit. He then leaves, telling Moriarty that he’s counting on him to take care of that matter they discussed earlier.
His guests, the city’s gang leaders, Diarmuid, Yan Qing, and Izou, soon come with their thugs. Moriarty prevents a drunken brawl between the thugs and suggests either closing the bar or banning them from the premises. Sieg agrees, believing the thugs can control themselves so long as they abstain from alcohol. He therefore orders the bar to only be opened to himself, the gang leaders, and the men who will soon arrive. He then admits he is reluctant to part with the relic that has been passed down in his family for a thousand years in tomorrow’s auction. Regardless, he isn’t willing to put the city at risk with it now known that the relic is in his possession. So, before word spreads further, he plans to sell the relic to the highest bidder and invest the money back into the city.Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - An Old Spider Spins Webs of Memory, Section 2: Triangle Gang 
The next day, three mages, Alexander, Prince of Lanling, and Vlad III, come to the mansion. Sieg welcomes them and shows them his family's relic, the bloodstained linden leaf, so they may verify its authenticity. To the mages’ surprise, it is the genuine article. Sieg implores the mages to pay handsomely for a chance to own the leaf, as it is the perfect catalyst to summon Siegfried. However, only one of them may own it since dividing it would comprise the catalyst’s effectiveness. He will hold an auction for it tomorrow, with only Alexander, Lanling, and Vlad being allowed to bid. This arrangement will not change, even if other mages hear about the auction and enter a higher bid. He then adjourns the meeting, saying they’re free to relax or gather the money they need until tomorrow. Afterward, he tells RItsuka and Moriarty that their real work begins to tomorrow and leaves. 
On the day of the auction, however, everyone finds the relic has been stolen. It wasn’t left anywhere a regular thief could reach it, so the only possibility would be a mage. But regardless of how it was stolen, the catalyst’s defenses should have sounded an alarm throughout the mansion. Sieg claims he doesn’t know how his family’s security spell works, as he isn’t a mage. Vlad accuses Alexander and Lanling of the theft as stealing the catalyst without triggering the alarm would require two skilled mages working together. Alexander, however, suspects Sieg of faking the theft, so he could keep his heirloom for himself. Sieg replies he only saw the relic as a burden, affirming he has no emotional attachment to it. Yan Qing accuses Diarmuid of cutting a deal with Sieg ahead of the auction, given that they’re old friends. Izou also finds Diarmuid the most suspect. Alexander and Lanling plead their innocence and accuse Vlad since he had the least money to spend, unlike them. Sieg stops Alexander and Vlad from fighting and suggests everyone makes their case to someone impartial. He wants RItsuka and Moriarty to be the judges and determine who can be ruled out as suspects. Moriarty agrees but on condition that a mage from an opposing faction is present as a silent observer during questioning, so he and Ritsuka aren’t accused of bribery. Everyone agrees with his condition.Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - An Old Spider Spins Webs of Memory, Section 4: Triangle Magus 
The next day, in Sieg’s office, Moriarty reports his findings. He explains the gang leaders seek to break their stalemate between them by acquiring the relic. But they do not care which mage gets it as the stalemate will be broken regardless, thus none of them had any motive to steal the relic but a motive not to steal it. With the current state of affairs, none of them can risk moving large sums of money, whether from selling the relic or anything else, because whoever does would automatically be suspect. Each had reasons for wanting the auction to proceed. None of the mages could be the thief either, because they would still need to wait for auction results first if they were to engage in foul play. The guests had their honor on the line, but the culprit feared losing the relic more than the theft because losing it even once meant losing everything his family passed down for generations. That would remain the case even if he stole it back, so the relic leaving his possession was the one thing the culprit couldn’t allow. For those reasons, only Sieg could be the culprit. Sieg confesses and explains his motives and his plan. At Yan Qing’s behest, Izou attacks Sieg from behind, only for Sieg to admit he was lying about not being mage and reflect Izou’s attack back on him. Sieg then jumps out the window, not wanting to damage his collection of artifacts and books with his magecraft. Everyone follows after him. 
Diarmuid ends his friendship with Sieg and orders his men to open fire on him. But Sieg blocks the bullets with a barrier and kills Diarmuid’s men. Diarmuid prepares to engage in close combat, but Yan Qing and Izou tell him that will be useless. Alexander, Vlad, and Lanling decide they’ll fight Sieg, with Vlad declaring the winner of the battle will claim the relic. Moriarty joins in the battle as well. 
Moriarty defeats all four mages and claims the relic. Sieg says the linden leaf is the greatest treasure in the world to him, so he couldn't possibly allow to be taken for a Subcategory Grail War. Moriarty tells him Siegfried, as a Heroic Spirit, would gladly accept any summons to help bring about a brighter future. But Sieg refuses to believe that Siegfried would be thrilled to degrade himself in the service of others. Moriarty can only guarantee Sieg that what he said was true. Sieg calls Moriarty a devious con man and falls unconscious, realizing he shouldn’t have trusted someone styling himself as a criminal consultant. After everyone else leaves, Moriarty erases Sieg’s memories and strips him of his magecraft to ensure he gives up trying to get the linden leaf back. 
== Abilities ==
He seems able to reflect physical attacks back onto the attacker, such as what happened when Izou attacked him. He can only produce a barrier capable of deflecting bullets.
