Department of Summoning

The is a subordinate Department to the Department of Spiritual Evocation of the Clock Tower branch of the Mage's Association. 
==History==
Not part of the Twelve Departments of the Clock Tower, it is a subordinate organization under the Department of Spiritual Evocation. The Dean is Rocco Belfeban, having held the position for at least fifty years as of 2004, but the exact duration is unknown among modern Magi.Fate/Apocrypha Volume 1: Apocrypha: Great Holy Grail War - Chapter 1 He acts as a Proxy Lord for Spiritual Evocation as well.
Within the World of Fate/Apocrypha, the circumstances of the Subcategory Holy Grail Wars lead the Department to a status of greater renown. As the Association began to form countermeasures to the proliferation of the Holy Grail Wars throughout the world, every Department that had any slight link to the process of Servant summoning made a scramble to benefit from the situation. Due to the continuing conflicts even after the end of each Holy Grail War, the Clock Tower decided that "everything related to Servants of the Holy Grail War" would fall under the purview of Summoning and entrusted the responsibility to an "assured conservative." It was later recommended by the reformist faction that Lord El-Melloi II, survivor of the largest of the Subcategory Holy Grail Wars, take the position instead of Rocco, though El-Melloi II's held a personal neutral stance and the El-Melloi faction held a conservative stance. The two of them, aware of the threat of the Holy Grail Wars, held matching views on prioritizing solving the situation rather than worrying about the profit of their respective factions.
==Characteristics==
Within the World of Fate/Apocrypha, Rocco works with Lord El-Melloi II and Bram Nuada-Re Sophia-Ri in preparing Masters and Catalysts for Servant summoning for the Great Holy Grail War.Fate/Apocrypha Volume 3: Triumphal Return of the Saint - Chapter 4
