The Roman soldier who pierced the side of Jesus Christ with a lance when He was on the cross, and met his fate atop the hill of . In Christian tradition, Longinus's lance would come to be known as the "Holy Lance" and "Spear of Destiny".
Lucius was assaulted by a bandit when he was still very young. Lucius stood up alone and fought the bandit with his knife and landed a heavy hit, which crippled him, making him unable to walk and had to resort to being a beggar. This pained Lucius' heart every time he passed by the man begging on the street. Later the ex-bandit fell ill, and through nursing and care from a , he later recovered, discarded his faith in the Roman gods, and fully embraced a certain religion. He became a believer to that religion well before Lucius did.
Lucius would then walk his path to become one of the Roman soldiers, defeated hundreds of enemies in war, and furthermore promoted to lead as a , which led him to take away thousands of barbarians' lives throughout his life.

===Appearance===
Longinus appears to have a large, muscular figure, adorned in silver armor with gold trim akin to that of a Roman Centurion, with a helm bearing wings and a crimson plume, crimson clothing, and a large, curved shield. He has short hair, but a long, braided tail trailing down the back. He also has a cross-shaped scar on his left cheek.
His armor resembles a more elaborate and decorated version of the generic Roman soldiers that appear in Fate/Grand Order, befitting his position as an officer in the Roman army.
His casual clothing is a double-breasted vest, a sharp necktie coloured a deep, sober red, and a fedora.

===Personality===
Erice Utsumi looks up to him and respect him above all others, due to knowing her since childhood and being a teacher to her. He trained her, hammering into her the skills to protect herself with the unbreakable iron conviction of a soldier, teaching her to stand up when she fell, to push on until her work was done, the value of defeat, and the fickleness of victory. He can be seen as a rational, caring gentleman. He's a lot more compassionate compared to his more ruthless Master. While Erice calls him "Mr. Lucius", he asks her to please not use formalities with him and just call him Lucius.Fate/Requiem Volume 1: The Boy Among the Stars - Chapter 2
Despite his close bond with Erice, he still adheres to Chitose's orders at the end of the day. He did not resist Chitose's Command Spell to attack Voyager when Erice refused to hand him over, though she did have to call his name twice before he responded.
He sometimes adds Latin phrases to his speech, such as greeting Erice with bonam noctem, meaning good night.
==Role==
===Fate/Requiem===
Lucius and Chitose won the Holy Grail War that changed the world. He later taught many things to Erice Utsumi in order to manage the Spirits afflicting her body.
Chitose and Lucius are the strongest Servant and Master pair in all of Mosaic City. When an emergency in Mosaic City causes Code Crimson to be declared, the pair answers the call as the city's defenders.
====The Boy Among the Stars====
Chitose and Lucius visited Erice's apartment unexpectedly shortly after she discovered Voyager, and Lucius helped himself to the tea in her pantry. Chitose spoke to Erice about having Erice stop her job as Nightwatch for a few months, to which the girl was vehemently opposed. But when she looked to Lucius for help, he only responded with a pained smile.
When Nzambi attacked the Colosseum in Akihabara with zombified Servants, Code Crimson was declared. Lucius and Chitose fought many of the zombies off as the strongest Master and Servant in all of Mosaic City.Fate/Requiem Volume 1: The Boy Among the Stars - Chapter 6 Despite his affection for Erice, Lucius obeyed Chitose's order to attack Voyager when Erice refused to hand him over. But after Galahad intervened he and Chitose relented and allowed Voyager to stay with Erice.Fate/Requiem Volume 1: The Boy Among the Stars - Chapter 8
====Shinjuku the Nostalgic City====
==Abilities==
Longinus is described as the strongest Servant summoned in the past Grail War, said that no other Servants can compare with him in might and pride. He cuts down enemies faster than Erice can follow, each swing of his spear having such sheer power that even "overwhelming" is barely fit to describe it.
His Noble Phantasm is the Holy Spear that bears his name, Longinus. While the Spear's full capabilities are unknown, Galahad Alter comments that no armor can stand against it, however his Sword of the Strange Hangings can rival it for a few blows because it too is a holy relic. He also carries a great shield alongside it.
