Lancer (Cú Chulainn)

Cú Chulainn, also known as Lancer, Setanta, Blue Spearman of the Wind, Child of Light and Hound of Culann, is a character from the TYPE-MOON series.
== Charactah Account ==
Lancer is a carefree, laid back Servant always eager to get into a good fight, and will never back down unless commanded. When not being an enemy, Cu shows a playful attitude and loves to tease. He is most often seen fighting Archer throughout the whole story. Although easy to dismiss as being a mediocre Servant, he is in fact extremely fast and skilled in the use of the lance.
Lancer is a fierce, but balanced warrior who enjoys combating a worthy opponent, but at his core he believes in justice and is easy to get along with. He is an agreeable youth acting out the role of one gentle in disposition yet strong in body. He has a playful attitude and takes a very carefree approach to life, but is quick to work himself into a frenzy during a heated battle. He was known as a brave, compassionate, and likeable young man in the legends. He mercilessly killed his enemies on the battlefield, but he respected faith and had the nobility to never once break a promise he had made.
He enjoys fishing, hunting, and hitting on cute girls. He is a proud warrior, someone who can't abandon a fight just because he's losing. He's ready to fight until the end, for the sake of his fighting will and also for his Master. He easily loses his cool, especially to insults calling him a dog.

== Trivia ==
* In the original visual novel's Heaven's Feel route, Lancer is killed by True Assassin in a matter of seconds while trying to escape the shadow, while in the movie adaption, he is given an extended action scene where he chases True Assassin across the city, lands a few blows on him, and even manages to get his Gae Bolg off before finally being killed when True Assassin lures him to the shadow. It's made clear that had he either been given a second longer to activate Gae Bolg, or been fighting away from the Shadow, he would have easily killed Assassin.
* Not as much as Saber or Archer, but he proved popular enough to appear in Fate/EXTRA, get Promoted to Playable in Fate/Extella, show up in Fate/Grand Order with three extra variations (his playstyle also helped boost his popularity), and appear as a major ally the First Order anime.
* Lancer's true name (Cu Chulainn) is pronounced "coo coo-lawn" in stay night and "coo hoo-lawn" in Unlimited Blade Works. However, the name is traditionally pronounced as "coo hull-en".
