Faker (Iskandar's Shadow)

==Summary==
Iskandar's Shadow (イスカンダルの影武者, Isukandaru no Kagemusha?), Class Name Faker (フェイカー, Feikā?), is a Faker-class Servant summoned by Doctor Heartless appearing in Lord El-Melloi II Case Files.
Faker was born without a name. In place of a True Name she is referred to as both Iskandar's Shadow and Hephaestion. She was the younger twin sister of Hephaestion, one of the generals serving under Alexander the Great. She was taught from a young age by Olympias, Iskandar's mother, to act as a body-double and confidant to Iskandar, and also acted for her brother at times. For this purpose, she was never given a name, and borrowed her brother's when needed. Combined with spreading rumors of Iskandar's appearance as based on her own, so distinctly different from his, she was the ideal vessel to receive any curses directed towards Iskandar.
She is also summoned as a Pretender-class Servant by Ritsuka Fujimaru in the Grand Orders of Fate/Grand Order, using the false name Hephaestion (ヘファイスティオン, Hefaisution?)

Intelligence: Faker is a skilled warrior who served as Iskandar's double and took part to numerous battles at his side. As she didn’t leave behind any anecdotal stories in history, her status as a Servant is rather weak, but she still boasts a considerable and comprehensive combat ability. This results not just from having powerful skills or Noble Phantasms, but from the wide variety of physical and magical options available to her in combat, and her ability to keenly recognize which of those options is optimal for each situation. has also displayed a level of skill in using magecraft and spellcraft, as seen in her attempts to use several offensive spells against Gray. Her magical energy takes the color of vibrant red lightning similar to Iskandar's blue. The Dionysus that Faker references normally corresponds to the god of wine Bacchus, but the magecraft she uses actually points to the maddened Zeus himself. In short, an omnipotent god gone mad. Abandoning reason and embracing infinite chaos is truly suitable as a source for magecraft. The lineage of her magecraft can be traced back to Hecate, giving Faker a loose connection to Medea and Circe who also use spells derived from Hecate. She could easily overpower Touko, one of the greatest magi in the modern era, in a contest of magecraft since Faker wields Age of Gods mystics. 
Weaknesses: Copied Skills suffer a reduction in rank, otherwise none notable. 
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
===Noble Phantasms===
Hecatic Wheel: Wheel of Demonic Heaven: The Noble Phantasm of Faker. Due to having posed as Iskandar, she also has control of his Gordius Wheel from having used it in life, but hers is drawn by two skeleton Wyverns rather than Divine Bulls. Much like the Gordius Wheel, it is summoned in a flash of lightning, albeit crimson lightning rather than blue.
Compared to the original Gordius Wheel, it’s Rank and power have diminished considerably, but in exchange it is capable of many more things. One is the autopilot feature shown in Grand Roll. In addition, if Faker pours her own magical energy into it, it is capable of exhibiting a level of power similar to the original Gordius Wheel.
The name “Hecatic” is derived from the goddess Hecate, from whom Faker’s lineage of magecraft from the Age of Gods finds its source. Though faint, there is some connection to the Caster of the Fifth Fuyuki Holy Grail War.
===Class Skills===
Independent Action (Rank B): It is possible for a Servant to stay in the world for two days without a Master. However, this is the ideal value achieved by maximally conserving mana and avoiding battle and Noble Phantasm usage.
Camouflage (Rank B): At B Rank, it is possible to fool an opponent by appearing as another Class or with different parameters.
Territory Creation (EX Rank): A Skill she only has in Fate/Grand Order. Mnemosyne's Skill. Due to being an Autonomous Observational Existence Verification System, she's practically a type of workshop, in a sense. Hephaestion mixed with Mnemosyne can operate this "workshop's" features inside herself.
Oblivion Nullification (EX Rank): A Skill she only has in Fate/Grand Order. Mnemosyne's Skill. A Skill mostly similar to Oblivion Correction. The system named after the memory goddess Mnemosyne enables her to almost perfectly carry over her memories from previous summons, although this feature is limited to when she's summoned by the Chaldea summoning system.
===Skills===
High-Speed Divine Words (Rank B): The ability to speak magical incantations at an accelerated speed. By using a language from the Age of Gods, greater magecraft can be cast at the speed of Single-Action spells.
For He Is Another Iskandar (Fake) (Rank B): Allows Faker to imitate Iskandar's Noble Phantasms and Skills as his body double. Copied Skills are dropped by one rank, but it is possible to slightly change their function.
Blessing of the Nameless (Rank EX): Whether by sword, Magecraft, or curse, she can take the damage in place of someone she recognizes as her Master. The damage can also be mitigated if the correct measures are taken.
