## Profile

### Background

Waver was born as the third-generation head to the Velvet family, a rather unknown lineage with a proportionately-sized Magic Crest. His grandmother, the first generation, was an average magus who took a husband of deteriorating lineage. His mother, the second generation, was a magus but sparsely practiced it, only making use of it as a memorandum to her own mother, the first generation. Despite all of this suggesting that Waver would also be painfully average, Waver was born under a lucky star and had outstanding innate talent. He was blessed with Magic Circuits well above that of the average magus, far more advanced and refined than his lineage would suggest. Because of this as well as his critically acclaimed intelligence and personal endeavors, he entered the Clock Tower on a scholarship bill to attend Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald's class where he further excelled.

#### Becoming Lord Sutlynn

After graduating from Kayneth's class, Waver became a full-fledged Clock Tower professor in his own right. While he had his own classroom, he would sometimes, with his former teacher's permission, teach a combined class of his own students with Kayneth's class when he was absent from the Clock Tower. Approximately three years prior to his participation in the Second Holy Grail War, Kayneth left on a trip but did not return. This caused panic in the Clock Tower as they attempted to unravel why he did not return. It was soon revealed that an unknown magus had murdered the El-Melloi head for reasons that were also unknown, at least, at the time.

After nearly two years of investigation, the name of "Elias Padraig Wirth" cropped up as Kayneth's murderer. Prior to this, however, about three weeks after Kayneth's death, the El-Melloi faction led by Kayneth nearly collapsed but after finding the professor's will, normal order was returned, although reluctantly. Kayneth's will had a message of praise directed toward Waver and that he has the potential to do great things. His will had also stated that should Waver's status rise to the same level as his, the legitimate successor of the Archibald family should then unite with the supposed "*Lord Velvet*".

As his mentor predicted, Waver was soon given the title of **Lord Sutlynn** and the "legitimate successor" that Kayneth implicitly named fell to his niece, Reines El-Melloi Archisorte, who was given to Waver as his bride. She became the **Lady** to Waver's **Lord** and her name was changed to *Sutlynn* to reflect this.

### Appearance

During the conflict of the Second Holy Grail War, Waver was twenty-three years old as his birthday had not yet passed when he participated in the conflict. As a talented magus, he was trained by the best of the best, resulting in an excellent constitution despite initially being rather physically weak. He has surprisingly long black hair, going down to his waist, and soft gray eyes, giving him a rather feminine appearance.

## Role

### *Fate/chaos divergence*

Twelve days prior to July 10, a discouraged Waver discarded his fourth draft of his thesis paper on the Holy Grail War ritual before being approached by his apprentice, Gray, who tries to appease him. Directly after, Flat Escardos and Yvette L. Lehrman barge into his office and began to squabble which angers Waver. Reines suddenly walks into the office and reprimands her future husband, calling him out for his shooing away of his own students. Flat suddenly asks about the Japanese Thaumaturgy of Onmyoudou and Waver wonders what's with the newfound curiosity to which Flat replies that Waver was planning to go to Japan, causing Waver to unconsciously rub his lower back which is where his Command Spell is located. However, Waver provides a basic explanation of the system undaunted before Reines asks that Flat and Yvette leave the room. Now left alone, Reines questions her fiancé about his motives to visit Japan, correctly guessing that he was chosen as a Master to participate in the very topic that he was writing his thesis on. A confused Gray is soon pacified with Waver and Reines's explanation about the Holy Grail War. Throughout this, Waver was constantly teased by Reines, especially upon revealing the location of his Command Spells. Waver then realizes that he was going to be late for his flight.

Gray tags along and says goodbye to her teacher at Heathrow Airport. Settling down on his flight, Waver's day was further ruined when Reines approached him, disguised as a flight attendant. Reprimanding her for leaving the Clock Tower without prior approval, Reines assures him that she had sought approval already which Waver doubts immensely. Giving up, Waver lets her tag along and upon arriving in Haneda Airport, he begins preparations. Waver first spends the day gathering information before preparing to summon his Servant in the evening. Using the fossil of the first shed skin by the first snake upon consuming the immortality elixir, Reines watches on as Waver summons Caster. Waver defers to Caster, lauding him as the Sage-King which pleases Caster who acknowledges Waver as his Master.
