Ruler (Karl der Große)

==Summary==
Ruler is a Ruler-class Servant summoned into the Moon Cell during the events of Fate/Extella Link.
Ruler's True Name is Karl der Große (Charles the Great), the historical King of the Franks and the first Holy Roman Emperor who attempted to unite all of Europe under the banner of Christianity.

Intelligence: The first and greatest of the Holy Roman Emperors, Karl is known for the prosperity of the Holy Roman Empire under his reign, ruthlessly destroying his enemies and controlling his people to ensure their continued happiness. As such, he's an incredible leader and orator that turns others to his side with Oraclization. He's also a powerful combatant on par with Top Servants, defeating several of the most powerful Servants in the Moon Cell on his lonesome, albeit with a sneak attack in the case of Gilgamesh. However, he has shown a measure of short-sightedness in the face of his grand ambition, as he allows Charlemagne to escape rather than killing him, granting his counterpart the time to warn Rome and prepare a counteroffensive against Karl.
Weaknesses: Cannot fight in Spirit Form. Oraclization can potentially be dispelled if the victim is subdued and physically beaten.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
===Noble Phantasms===

* Carolus Patricius: Karl's primary Noble Phantasm. It is a massive floating fortress the size of a city that forms the basis of his empire, St. Metropolita. The entire city acts as an extension of his being, fame, and territory, leaving him at maximum power at all times as though he was summoned in his country of origin. Not only is he able to manipulate it to form his armor and secondary Noble Phantasm, Carolus Patricius Auctoritas, but it is armed with "Karl Cannons" that act as long-range magical bombardment. In addition, he can use the magical energy of Servants as powerful as Jeanne d'Arc or Gilgamesh to create facsimiles as powerful as real Servants to fight on his behalf. It also contains the Monolith that acts as the source of his Oraclization ability.
** Carolus Patricius Auctoritas: Sanctus, Now the Authority is Replenishing the Earth: Karl's trump card. He converts portions of Carolus Patricius into a massive suit of armor for himself resembling a robot. This robot is powerful enough to take on multiple Servants at once, is armed with beam cannons and missiles to sweep away the enemy. It can also fire its armaments into the sky to bring down what appears to be a chorus of angels before smiting his chosen location with a massive beam of light. It can even continue fighting after its lower half is destroyed.
** Carolus Patricius Dimitte: The Last Judgement Ultim Propator: Karl's final judgment and ultimatum. It assimilates every single life form on the surface of an object as large as the moon with his Oraclization ability, subverting up to 60% of them to his will before deleting the rest from existence.
* Joyuese: A "peerless sword" wielded by Karl in myth. In truth, the historical Karl never possessed a Holy Sword in his lifetime, as Mystery had long since faded by then. Because of this, Joyuese is not able to unleash its full potential as Karl lacks his fictional counterpart's Holy Knight Emperor skill.
===Class Skills===
* God's Resolution: As a Ruler-class Servant, Karl would normally possess Command Spells through which he could deliver absolute commands to other Servants or empower them should their goals align. However, since Karl was not summoned into a Holy Grail War, this ability has no effect.
* Magic Resistance: An ability that provides protection against magecraft, nullifying the effects oncoming magical attacks outright rather than simply resisting them. Karl's unwavering piety has granted him an unmatched rank of EX, allowing him to withstand spells from the Age of Gods that could annihilate the bodies of Servants and entire cities completely unscathed. However, Karl's version of Magic Resistance only diverts magic rather than eliminating the spell itself. As such, in the face of a wide-scale magical bombardment, only he will survive.
* True Name Discernment: The signature Class Skill of Rulers. It instantly reveals the status, parameters, and True Name of a Servant in Karl's presence. However, Karl's rank in this skill is only C, meaning that it can be bypassed with a luck check.
===Personal Skills===
* Ceremonial Reformation: A skill that improves anything under his rule as the Holy Roman Emperor. As such, his nation will grow and prosper under the will of his theocratic principles.
* Charisma: The natural talent to command an army, which increases the ability of allies during group battles. It is said that a rank of B in this skill is sufficient to lead a nation as its King.
* Great Emperor's Privilege: A skill identical in function to Imperial Privilege, only renamed due to Karl's preferences. With it, he is able to modify his body and acquire nearly any skill available to a Servant so long as he maintains his focus on it. With his A+ Rank, he could even give himself Divinity if he so pleased. However, there must be some basis for the skills acquired. For instance, he would have needed to hold a sword to become a master swordsman. It is unknown which of his skills he acquired from this skill.
* Holy King: His title of "Holy Roman Emperor" grants him advantages against demonic enemies and non-saintly divine beings, such as pagan demigods.
* Oraclization: The ability to "assimilate" others into his ideology. Anyone who learns of his goals and considers them righteous and honorable will be instantly swayed to his side, bypassing magical and conceptual defenses like Magic Resistance and Kavacha and Kundala. Those affected will retain their personalities, skills, and abilities, but will simply be convinced to fight in his name and move according to his will. Those he defeats can also be Oraclized, such as Scáthach, but it can be resisted simply by refusing to acknowledge Karl's actions as just, as in the case of Gilgamesh.
