In Norse mythology and derived tales, Fafnir was originally a dwarf, but overcome with greed for a certain treasure, he transformed into a dragon. He was eventually slain by Sigurd or Siegfried, depending on the tale.
Fafnir is caused by the , which transforms those who exhibit overwhelming greed into him. Because of this Fafnir is not an individual, but a series of Evil Dragons.
In the German Nibelungenlied, Siegfried slew Fafnir simply because he was asked to. He bathed in his blood to obtain a body close to that of a dragon, Armor of Fafnir. He also took Fafnir's treasure hoard, Das Rheingold.
In the Norse Völsunga saga, Fafnir was originally the brother of the dwarf Regin before being transformed into a dragon. Regin raised Sigurd to eventually kill Fafnir and steal his treasure.Romancia:Aurora Sigurd ate his heart to gain knowledge, the Crystallization of Wisdom represented by his glasses, as well as a magical energy reactor core in the form of Dragon-kind Modification.
It is unknown who exactly defeated the evil dragon that is common to their legends, and it is even possible that both defeated "different" dragons created by the Evil Dragon Phenomenon.Fate/Grand Order - Sigurd (Saber), Profile - Translated by Master of Chaos

==Abilities==
Fafnir is regarded as the ultimate Dragon, surpassing even Tarasque. He is able to equally match Siegfried's Balmung with with his own fire breath. Jeanne d'Arc is able to block it with Luminosité Eternelle albeit with high difficulty. Although Siegfried believes that Mash Kyrielight should be able to block it too with Lord Chaldeas, after Fafnir absorbs the mana in the atmosphere of the Orleans Singularity to power his attack, its power becomes too much for her to handle. In fact, it could have destroyed all of Orleans had Jeanne not redirected his head with a strike.Fate/Grand Order -turas réalta- - Chapter 15: "First Singularity: Final Verse 3" Fafnir is killed by Balmung boosted by a Command Spell, which transforms it into an Anti-Fortress Noble Phantasm.Fate/Grand Order -turas réalta- - Chapter 16: "First Singularity: Final Verse 4"
