Kirei Kotomine

Kirei Kotomine is a character from the TYPE-MOON series.
== Charactah Account ==
Kirei is the overseer of the Holy Grail War and resides at the church on top of the hill. He is callous and sarcastic, but also quite knowledgeable. As the supervisor of the Grail War, it is his duty to uphold the rules of the Holy Grail War, cover up any incidents that might expose the War to the public, and give sanctuary to any Masters who drop out. Both Rin and Shirou appear to detest him, though in truth they don't seem to dislike him too much. Despite the enmity between the Mage's Association and the Church, Kotomine is a member of both organizations, which is presumably the reason he was chosen to be be the overseer.
Unknown to all those around him, Kirei was born defective, possessing a warped mind since birth. He is an evil person, but not a villain. He is deviant, but not inhuman.  Despite his personal accomplishments, he never felt satisfaction. Despite his best efforts he could not enjoy what other people found happiness in, and instead found himself drawn to negative emotions like the pain of others. He is able to act like a normal person, even bringing pride to his father, but he intrinsically does not feel the same happiness others do.

== Trivia ==
* Gen Urobuchi said it gave him a headache to come up with ideas for Kirei in the final climactic battle between to Kirei and Kiritsugu. As Kiritsugu would wield fire arms, employ Innate Time Control, and equipped with Avalon. Urobuchi expressed that he had difficulties to write about Kirei's Bajiquan. In order to write the final battle at Fuyuki City Hall, he added 36th Chamber of Shaolin and The Storm Riders to his reference materials list.
