Edelfelt

The family is a Magus lineage located in Finland.
==Characteristics==
The family came into power in the Renaissance Era and earned the nickname "hyenas" for their shamelessly intervening in conflicts unrelated to them around the world, picking and choosing the most prized examples of Magecraft from the ruins for themselves.Fate/hollow ataraxia - Night - Emiya's - In LondonLord El-Melloi II Case Files Volume 1: case. Adra Castle Separation - Chapter 2 (translated by TwilightsCall) A mercenary-like aristocratic family, they find great pleasure in battle as shown by the delighted expression that they make when fighting, which got them to be feared by others as "the world's most elegant hyenas". In the Clock Tower of the Mage's Association, they belong to the Trambelio's Democratic faction.Lord El-Melloi II Case Files Volume 9: case. Grand Roll (Middle) - Chapter 2 Part 3
Several generations ago, the Edelfelts had rebuilt a secret entrance in the Egyptian desert that leads to a secret, underwater Library of Alexandria created by Atlas, as part of a deal with Pharaoh Ptolemy,The Adventures of Lord El-Melloi II Volume 4: Legacy of the Alchemist (Upper) - Chapter 1 in order to plunder the library's secrets. Though Sion calls the Edelfelts graverobbers, Luvia calls them "adventurers".The Adventures of Lord El-Melloi II Volume 4: Legacy of the Alchemist (Upper) - Intermission
The Edelfelt Jewel Magecraft uses gems as a medium for Magecraft, infusing them with Magical Energy by dyeing them with the user's own blood or other bodily fluids. It is also a form of specialized Rune Magecraft: while the state of Rune Magecraft in general is in decline, the Edelfelts brought jewels into the mix and cut open a new path for themselves. It's probably why their Spells are in English.Lord El-Melloi II Case Files Volume 1: case. Adra Castle Separation - Chapter 3 Part 3 The true nature of the Edelfelt Magecraft is not in taking pride in value, it's the circulation of that value. Just like water flows from high to low, and electricity moves from high to low, the flow of power between jewel and caster is the essence of their Magecraft.Lord El-Melloi II Case Files Volume 1: case.

, one of their Thaumaturgical Attributes, makes it possible for two successors to have their Magic Crest at the same time and because of it, the family is also called . , their other one, allows them to specialize in gem Magecraft derived from Rune Magecraft. For this reason, they are renowned as being one of the best Gandr users in the world. 
The relationship of Luvia's twin grandmothers was so bad that they set up two operation bases each trip. When participating in the Third Heaven's Feel, the older sister had her mansion built in the forest where the Einzbern castle is, while the younger sister had hers in Shinto. These were left to the Association after the Heaven's Feel. By the time of the Fifth Heaven's Feel, both mansions were in ruins and had the reputation of being haunted houses.
Using Sisters, their Attribute, they were able to summon two aspects of the same Heroic Spirit as two Servants under the Saber Class.Fate/hollow ataraxia - Heaven's Feel - 1/ Heaven Feel's Backnight I Due to their bad relationship, however, the two split ways early into the conflict. In the end, the younger sister was defeated while the older sister ran away from the country promising never to come back. These events are the cause of the Edelfelts' prejudice against Japanese people, which is especially strong against the Tohsaka family. Since it is known that the Servants of the Saber Class managed to reach the final match of all Heaven's Feels,Fate/stay night - Prologue: Day 3Fate/stay night - Unlimited Blade Works route - Day 4: One day (III) - Contract Established at least one of their Sabers was among the last contestants of the Third one.
In Fate/unlimited codes, the previous head of the family is the remaining one of the above sisters, while in The Case Files of Lord El-Melloi II, it is Luvia's parent who retired and was succeeded by his/her daughter practically.
In the World of Fate/Apocrypha, the Edelfelt's relation with the Tohsaka seems to be on good terms, to the point where Tokiomi Tohsaka sent his daughter Sakura Tohsaka to be adopted by the Edelfelts.
