Servant

Servants are Spirits summoned by the Holy Grail under the Master's authority.
== Summoning ==
Masters summon their Servant at the start of each ritual through the Holy Grail as it is the only thing connected to the Throne of Heroes. 
There is also another way to summon Servants that is through Alaya, who holds the Throne of Heroes. Certainly not because the only reason Alaya allowed the Holy Grail to connect to the Throne of Heroes was to protect this world and also that no one knew where Alaya was (except Shiki, who was with Alaya).
== Classification ==
Heroic Spirits summoned by the Holy Grail are placed into one of various Classes. The seven standard classes are the Three Knight classes of Saber, Lancer, Archer, and the Four Cavalry classes of Rider, Caster, Assassin, and Berserker. There are also non-standard Extra Classes that are "split off from the regular servant classes in order to take on certain roles", such as Ruler.
