Saber (Fate/Extra & Fate/Extra CCC)

Sir Gawain, also known as the Knight of the Sun, is a major character in the Japanese science fantasy franchise Fate.
He is the Saber-class Servant of Leonardo B. Harwey in Moon Cell Holy Grail War of Fate/Extra, and reprises his role in Fate/Extra CCC.
==Profile==
===Identity===
Saber's True Name is Gawain (ガウェイン, Gawein?), one of the Knights of the Round Table that appeared in the Arthurian legends, also known as the White Knight of the Round Table (円卓の白騎士, Entaku no Shirokishi?).
If King Arthur was the night, the symbol of the moon itself, then Sir Gawain was the day, which shoulders the sun. He acted as King Arthur's impersonator (in the kagemusha sense) in the royal castle of Camelot. In other words, he was one of the candidates to substitute the King after his fall. He is the bearer of the sister-sword to Excalibur, Excalibur Galatine. However, in his blind adoration for the King, he remained unaware of the King's agony. A loyal knight just like Sir Bedivere who took care of King Arthur in his final moments, but unlike Bedivere who wished for the King to attain happiness as a person from the bottom of his heart, Gawain wished for him to flourish as a king. Unmindful of such evaluation and intentions from those who surrounded him, Sir Gawain remained as King Arthur's right-hand to the end.
==Appearance==
===Personality===
Gawain wanted to serve a true king loyally without questions or doubt like a true knight. Despite his serious appearance, he is a charming and humble man who carries himself as a true knight. As a Servant, he cannot forgive himself for allowing a personal grudge to destroy his king and country, so he vowed to redeem himself by serving his next Master as "the perfect knight". As a knight, he treats most women with respect but that doesn't stop him from ogling their breasts and charming women whenever he can. He doesn't even mind getting called out on this. He and Lancelot even convince Altria Lancer to wear a bunny girl outfit, who is not only (an alternate version of) their king, but she is also Gawain's aunt.
==Role==
===Fate/Extra===
In Fate/Extra, he was summoned by Leonardo B. Harwey as a Saber-class Servant. Leonardo refers him by his real name to intimidate others.[4] Gawain would follow Leonardo like a shadow and serve him like he would a king.
In the Sound Drama, Gawain defeated Lancer with a single blow of his sword, Excalibur Galatine.
He was the last Servant in school that Hakuno would face. Depending on Hakuno's Servants, Gawain would interact them differently. With his defeat, Leonardo finally learns of defeat and thanked Gawain for his services. He pointed out to Leonardo that he was honored to witness an honorable king before fading out.
===Fate/Extra CCC===
While BB devoured both Masters and servants, Leo was able to retain Gawain as his servant. In the majority of the game, he assisted Leo in the student council.
In Chapter 1, when Rin demands money for Hakuno Kishinami to pass through her programs, they can borrow money from Leo. Gawain will travel to the Sakura Labyrinth to find Hakuno and ask them to return the money. If Hakuno doesn't return the money by selecting the second option, a battle between two Servant would start. If Gawain wins, he'll reclaim the 100000sm from Hakuno and the opposite if Hakuno wins.
After Hakuno defeats Karna and Jinako Karigiri, Leo and Gawain take action in Chapter Bad End. Leo activates his Sword Camelot codecast skill to create a fire wall to take on BB by himself. Leo and Gawain challenge BB but Gawain and Leo suffer a massive defeat. When BB attempts to absorb Gawain, Leo uses all three of his Command Spells to make it so that he and Gawain had already broken their contract before BB's interference with the Holy Grail War.
===Fate/Extra CCC Foxtail===
His role is similar in CCC. When Meltlilith and Passionlip invaded the school, Gawain intercepted them. When the fight appears at a disadvantage, Karna helps Gawain. They teamed up and cut down Passionlip.
===Other Appearances===
He was briefly mentioned in the original novel of Fate/Zero when Saber fought against Berserker. As Berserker revealed his true identity, Saber was tormented on how she led her kingdom. She thought of her knights and wondered if they had left this world with resentment and unwillingness. Saber claims that Gawain had heroically sacrificed himself.[6]
Although he doesn't appear in Capsule Servant game but within the world of Capsule Servant, Gawain is the father of Master Artoria, Lancelot, Kay and Bedivere.
==Abilities==
Gawain uses his overwhelming might and the power of the sun to burn his enemies away. His first skill, Numeral of the Saint EX, buffs his Attack and buffs his Buster performance if the battlefield is sunny. His second skill, Charisma E, buffs the party's Attack. When upgraded to Nightless Charisma B, he also causes the battlefield to become sunny for a turn. His third skill, Belt of Bertilak EX, slightly charges his NP gauge, grants him critical stars, and grants him a Guts buff for a turn. His Noble Phantasm, Excalibur Galatine, is an AoE Buster attack that seals all enemies' skills and Burns them.
