**Saber** (セイバー, *Seibā*?) is the main male protagonist of *Fate/chaos divergence*. He initially serves as the Saber-class Servant of Manaka Sajyou for the duration of the First Holy Grail War of *Fate/Intercession*. He would be summoned again to be the Servant of Ayaka Sajyou in the Second Holy Grail War. Halfway through the conflict, Saber's contract with Ayaka was annulled and he temporarily became the corrupted Servant of Sancraid Phahn under the designation **Saber Alter**.

After being exposed to the liquids of the Holy Grail at the end of the Holy Grail War, Saber incarnates into a fully material body and survives for the next ten years as Ayaka's Servant later participating as one of the neutral-party Servants in the factional conflict of *Fate/chaos revival*'s Great Holy Grail War. In this Holy Grail War, he is named **False Saber** (偽セイバー, *Nise Seibā*?).

## Profile

### Identity

Saber's True Name is **Arthur Pendragon** (アーサー・ペンドラゴン, *Āsā Pendoragon*?), otherwise better known as King Arthur of the Matter of Britain. Due to the better compatibility between him and his Master, he was brought about as the *him* that popular history knows "him" as. As a result, while he is a completely identical person compared to Heroic Spirit Artoria Pendragon, he is also an entirely different entity while possessing the exact same past and heroic legends.

### Appearance

Saber has short blond hair and green eyes. He has the height and weight of a standard man in his 20s. He has a beautiful form and appears composed.

In his Servant form, he wears the standard armor of a knight. The armor parts are silver in color while the tunic is blue. He also has a black and white hood attached to the back of the armor part of his neck.

In the 1991 Tokyo Holy Grail War, Saber wore an all-black business suit which consisted of a black tie, shirt, vest, and shoes. He also wore black gloves.

During the 1999 Tokyo Holy Grail War, Saber's casual clothing is a long black coat with a red shirt underneath it. He also wears black jeans and black shoes.

### Personality

Saber is originally deeply plagued by his desire to save Britain to form an eternal utopia, and even while recognizing Manaka as potentially evil, he follows her commands to fulfill his wish. However, upon meeting Ayaka in the Garden he realizes that his wishes had already been entrusted to the present, and he becomes determined to protect the present over the past. He becomes a father figure and guardian for Ayaka from that point on until the Second War.

He has the sense of values of a matured man, as well as a strong sense of justice. He will bring things that bring virtue and goodness closer and will ascertain those that bring atrocity. He is the image of a hero, one can feel good about.

In Ayaka's eyes, he is the ideal prince in addition to his station as her protector. However, for a brief period, his style of speech was mingled with nihilistic mannerisms. Not only that, but he had his bouts of hypocritical courtesy as he would at times tease or make fun of Ayaka.

He is good at eating, but also good at making (cooking). However, due to his experiences with Manaka and the large breakfasts that she makes, he seems to think that big meals are the staple for Japanese people.

In Japanese, the way he refers to himself differs depending on who he talks to. To Ayaka, he uses *boku*. To his enemies, he uses *watashi*.

Throughout the course of the conflict, it is hinted that Saber has feelings for his Master. This is confirmed during the final stretches of the war in which Saber and Ayaka share a kiss to cement their love.

## Role

### *Fate/Intercession*

Saber is summoned by Manaka Sajyou 13 days prior to July 10, the day of prelude before the Holy Grail War fully begins. While he finds himself with a strange natural aversion towards his Master, he still defers to her as his Master, pushing aside those feelings of aversion in order to properly serve her as her Servant. He and Caster do not get along and they are almost always at each other's throats although they never came to blows due to both Masters exerting their authority over their Servant.

### *Fate/chaos divergence*

#### Day 0

Saber is summoned by a distraught Ayaka Sajyou after watching her retainer die in front of her eyes. Directly prior, Lancer had attacked the Sajyou household at the behest of his Master and Ayaka had been forced to flee. She hesitated to the last second at the summoning circle but was spurred into action when she saw Lancer easily deal with her retainer. She was impaled just as she was about to utter the final line of the incantation but she forced the line out, calling out Saber while simultaneously activating the Noble Phantasm buried inside her body. Saber then gallantly repels Lancer before Ayaka loses consciousness.

#### Week 1

##### Prelude / Day 1

When Ayaka awakens, she orders Saber to give her a rundown of the current status of the conflict. Finally rescinding herself to her role as a Master, she takes Saber along with her and visits the cemetery to pay respects to her family as well as ask for guidance. Upon finishing her prayers, she returns home and begins planning before receiving a notice from her adoptive sister to form an alliance. After seeking Saber's advice, Ayaka decides to forge the alliance with her so she could keep a close eye on her in case she plans to betray her again.

## Abilities

### Combat

Saber has Excalibur (although a different version when compared to its counterpart) and Invisible Air much like his counterpart. Very much like her own counterpart, Ayaka houses Avalon within her body although the reason why it is within her is kept secret until the final battle of the Holy Grail War. Because of this, Ayaka survives, although just barely, the deadly poison that Archer injects into her. Saber's presence helped with the process although the Noble Phantasm did not have enough power to purge the poison from her system entirely. Saber attributes this to the fact that the poison is one of the original venoms.

His Charisma is a natural talent to command an army corps which he inherited from his uncle. For this occasion, Arthur has been specialized for battle against large animals. Since the allies cannot keep up when fighting against large animals, and he ends up all alone, there is no place to display his Charisma. However, in the factional conflict of the Great Holy Grail War, he and Ayaka would lead the vanguard to Tokyo and as such, would have a chance to display his Charisma skills.

**Giant Beast Hunting** (巨獣狩り, *Kyojū Kari*?) is a skill that denotes having abundant combat experience against giant enemy lifeforms. King Arthur fought against and managed to completely defeat all the magical beasts that attempted to tramp down Britain.
