Rider (Iskandar)

Rider, also known as Alexander the Great, Alexandros, Iskandar, King of Conquerors and Dhul-Qarnayn, is a character from the TYPE-MOON series.
== Charactah Account ==
Rider was originally meant to be summoned by Lord Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald, but due to some circumstances, he ended up being Waver Velvet's servant.
Iskandar, or how he refers to himself, the King of Conquerors is a noble and courageous man, who prefers to conquer his enemies by winning without killing and controlling without humiliating them. He is known as a marvelous ruler who once almost conquered the whole known world.
Iskandar is not pragmatic, but is a person who lets history run its course and acts according to his impulses. While he is wild and somewhat inconsiderate to others, his greed ultimately resulted in the happiness of the people he ruled over.

== Trivia ==
* Takashi Takeuchi considers Rider to be the key character of Fate/Zero due to the time and energy that went into his design. He considers it difficult to draw due to its complexity and detail.
* Gen Urobuchi compares him to a heavy tank and the Rider of Fate/stay night to a racecar.
* His Gordius Wheelembodies the "tank-ness", but it is too large to enter sewers. The original idea for it was to give it the ability to change sizes by substituting its parts and transforming, but it still would have been too large.
* Takashi Takeuchi feels that without his mantle, Rider gives off an intimate feeling that puts him in style with commoners. Takeuchi felt like a loincloth may have been suitable for him. Out of his initial designs, Takeuchi likes the one with the "three feelers" in the center.
