Berserker (Infinite Paths - Doomguy)

**Berserker** (バーサーカー, Bāsākā) is the servant of Kariya Matou in an alternate version of the Fourth Holy Grail War.

"*As I stride knee deep through the dead, all is clear. I know what must be done... My cause is just... my will is strong... and my gun is very, very large.*" - Doomguy/Doom Slayer

## Profile

### Identity

Berserker's true name is shrouded in mystery. He is known by many names, though he is most commonly known as **Doomguy**.

Once a space marine whose real name was lost to history, Doomguy was taken off duty and relocated to Mars for assaulting his officer in retaliation for ordering him to attack innocent civilians. When the legions of Hell suddenly invaded Mars and massacred everyone in the base, Doomguy took up arms against them. Battling through the demonic hordes that have not only invaded Mars, but also Earth, Doomguy went knee deep into Hell itself to slay the Icon of Sin and the Mother Demon to seal the portal from within, taking the invading demons with him into Hell. Discovered in Argent D' Nur in a state of maddened delirium by an ancient order of holy warriors known as the Night Sentinels, he proved his strength and determination to them in the Coliseum, taking up their banner in his endless crusade against Hell. Bestowed with tremendous power by the Seraphim, Doomguy was rechristened as the **Doom Slayer**.

His relentless warpath against Hell itself has since cemented his reputation as a nigh-unstoppable engine of destruction.

### Personality

Beneath Berserker's front of absolute silence lays what can best be described as, to put it lightly, the Scourge of God made flesh. His rage towards all of demonkind is something that even the Lords of Hell are terrified of. All of Hell trembles before his mere presence. His drive appears to be motivated by great loss and pain at the hands of Hell's armies and above all else, a completely and utterly unbreakable, incorruptible, unyielding determination to ensure no such fate would ever befall humanity.

He also has a rather peculiar soft spot for cuddly animals, especially bunnies. Perhaps as a reminder of a lost pet he held dear to him in life, and equally so, of innocence lost to the forces of Hell.

## Role

### Infinite Paths

In an alternate reality, this Berserker was summoned as the Servant of Kariya Matou instead of Lancelot. He battled Lancer and despite the latter's superior speed and even getting a hit on Berserker with Gáe Dearg, his attacks proved ineffective against the mad Servant's armor. Lancer was eventually forced into retreat with his Master by Berserker's overwhelming firepower, even while restraining his full power, as the spear-wielding Servant was not a demon. When the Grail War was put on hold to hunt down Caster, Berserker unleashed his full fury upon the hordes of demons that the magic-wielding Servant summoned from Prelati's Spellbook, massacring them and forcing them to flee for their lives back into the Spellbook. Backed into a corner, Caster summoned a towering demon to fight Berserker, only to be faced with his BFG 9000. Upon blasting a gaping hole in the giant demon, exposing its insides, Berserker lept straight at it to *rip and tear* at the beast.

## Abilities

Berserker has shown immense strength, speed, stamina and durability even in life. He can overpower super-humanly strong demons barehanded, move fast enough to evade rockets and endure direct hits from them and continue on fighting.

Despite his violent nature, he possesses a surprising degree of intelligence, able to use advanced, other-worldly technology without any sign of unfamiliarity. He is a highly skilled combatant, able to defeat and tear down demons much bigger and stronger than himself in unarmed combat and wield a vast array of weapons with masterful proficiency.

As a Servant, his EX-ranked Mad Enhancement tremendously increases his parameters when facing opponents that can be considered "demonic", albeit at the cost of his sanity. His Absolute Right of Murder Over Demons makes him virtually invincible against Demonic Attribute and impervious to any form of demonic attacks or magic. These skills make him the ideal executioner of demonkind.

### Noble Phantasm

#### **Glory Kill**- *"Baptism through Blood and Gore"*

If Berserker kills his enemy in melee combat, in a particularly violent and bloody fashion, he will be healed for an amount depending on the strength of his opponent.

#### **Night Sentinel** - *"Watcher, Betrayer, Slayer"*

Berserker is granted access to his armor powered by Argent Energy along with his entire arsenal from his one-man wars against Hell. His arsenal ranges from chainsaws to shotguns to machine guns to rocket launchers to his strongest weapon of all: the BFG 9000, an imposingly large plasma cannon capable of obliterating most targets in one shot.
