==History==
===World of Fate/stay night===
Up until the third Grail War, the vessel for the Grail was a literal "cup". However, during the events of the third War, it was damaged in battle and the ceremony was interrupted; for that reason, it had to be made as something that could manage and protect itself.
During the Fourth War, Irisviel von Einzbern was a homunculus forged by the Einzbern family to be the physical embodiment of the Lesser Grail. Her deteriorating condition as her consciousness was supplanted by the Grail was mitigated by implanting Avalon into her body until the final days of the war. When she was murdered by Kotomine Kirei, the Grail took on her persona.
During the fifth War, the Lesser Grail was made as the heart of Illyasviel von Einzbern, a special homunculus made with concentrated alchemy, with Irisviel as her mother and Kiritsugu Emiya as her father. The Grail hidden in Illya was even more refined than the one in Irisviel, proof that Illya was expected to be the Einzbern's trump card.
At the end of the Fourth War, Zouken Matou acquired the fragments of the destroyed Grail. He synthesized it with his Crest worms, which he put inside the body of Sakura Matou. Though she was incomplete, this turned her into a second Lesser Grail.
In the Unlimited Blade Works Route, Gilgamesh kills Illyasviel and removes her core, which he implants into Shinji. This turns Shinji into an incomplete lesser grail.
===World of Fate/kaleid===
In the World of Fate/kaleid, the Fourth War never happened as Kiritsugu Emiya and Irisviel von Einzbern destroyed the Einzberns. However their daughter Illyasviel von Einzbern/Chloe von Einzbern still possesses the unnaturally high magical output as a Lesser Grail.
