## Profile

### Identity

Rider's true identity is **Wolfgang Schreiber**, also known by his Demon Name Hrozvitnir and later as Albedo: the White Knight, was a member of the Longinus Dreizehn Orden, occupying Seat XII in the Black Round Table. Beginning as a mere street prostitute and serial killer in the streets of Berlin around the era World War II began, Schreiber would go on to become part of the Three Knights, the first members of the Round Table that would be granted the honor of becoming Einherjar in service to Reinhard Heydrich, as the upper echelons of the Longinus Thirteen and essential pieces in completing the plans of the Golden Beast.

Wolfgang was born into a family of prostitution. His parents had intended for a girl, with the aim of her also becoming a prostitute to earn some extra money, so when Wolfgang was born male, his father did not hesitate castrated him with a pair of scissors.

Despite being a child and biologically male, Wolfgang was very popular at the brothel. His popularity eventually increased to the point where it surpassed that of his mother. Out of jealousy, she would constantly abuse Wolfgang, eventually even gouging out his eye with her thumb. Despite the injury, Wolfgang's popularity continued to increase, with some customers "using" his empty eye socket during their sessions.

After all this abuse, Wolfgang eventually went insane, murdering his parents and becoming a prostitute moonlighting as a serial killer. This life continued until Wolfgang eventually happened upon Wilhelm. The two fought, causing enough damage that Beatrice and Eleonore were called to break them up. The fight was inevitably ended by Reinhard, who defeated Wolfgang by throwing him by his empty eye socket.

When Reinhard started his legion, Schreiber was the first to join.

### Personality

He is like unto a beast, animalistic in his mannerisms and brutality. Easily able to be pushed over the edge into complete, mindless madness.

He hates being touched, largely as a manifestation of his childhood of physical and sexual abuse. As. when touched, he experiences flashbacks to his abuse.

He has a close relationship with Rusulka, and is always gentle and calm around her, though this relationship is largely one-sided. He is also the only person to call her "Anna" Like Wilhelm he is plauged by bellicism, a tendancy towards violency. Anything can set him off at the drop of a hat, and he is always brutal in his killings.

## Abilities

Among all the LDO members, Schreiber is the fastest, able to run without being seen by normal eyes. It is further empowered by his Holy Relic, a WW2 Zundapp KS750 which he rode while ramming those in front of him with even faster speed than his already dazzlingly fast running speed.

While insane, Schreiber is a master of murder, torture, and savagery, spending decades refining his ability to hunt down, stalk, and slaughter his foes. His raw speed and experience has led him to subconsciously analyze all foes he lays eyes upon, reading their facial expressions, the frequency of their heart beats, sweating and adrenaline level before moving for the kill. However, once his True Briah activates, he abandons all of these skills, his consciousness retreating to fight with all the ferocity of a wild animal, an unrelenting, merciless predator that tears his foes apart with random punches, kicks, and bites.

Despite being rather insane, Schreiber is really good at analyzing his opponents. Maybe it's his animal instincts, but he knows what to do in facing his opponents.

Wolfgang is completely insane and possesses a split-personality disorder. His primary personality is extremely sadistic and he frequently prolongs battles far longer than he actually has to. Any technique that can fully halt Wolfgang (such as Time stop) can nullify Nilfheimr Fenriswolf. Schrieber can be caught if he is faced with an attack he was completely unable to expect or perceive, such as a surprise attack from an ally or an opponent climbing out of his target's chest even though they were supposed to be dead, since the shock will force him to pause. When Nilfheimr Fenriswolf is active, Schreiber is in a state of uncontrollable rage, and can only be calmed down by Reinhard.

### Skills

#### Class Skills

* Magic Resistance (C Rank): Rider mingled among magic users, but did not dabble in the craft himself. Thus, the rank of this skill is comparatively low. Cancels Single-Action spells. Magic Resistance of the same degree of an amulet that rejects magical energy.

* Riding (C Rank): One can flawlessly ride vehicles and animals that received a proper training and adjustment. Ranked down due to Rider's Mental Pollution.

#### Personal Skills

* Mental Pollution (A-A+ Rank): Makes it possible to shut out any mental interference Thaumaturgy due to possessing a distorted mentality. However, at the same time it becomes impossible to come to an understanding with individuals that do not possess an equivalent rank of Mental Pollution.

Due to some very unfortunate incidents in his youth, Rider suffers from gender dysphoria, haphephobia and an almost irrational compulsion to kill. This is all covered by a childish facade that utterly fails to fully mask his homocidal tendencies and only serves to make those who encounter him even more terrified. In his legend, Rider believed himself to be an immortal death-defying existence and clawed his way through countless battlefields to prove it. It was said the only one who could make Rider bow was the devil himself. Indeed, Rider became one of the upper commanders of said devil's army and was said to be the most insane out of all of them.

Rider is liable to go on psychotic rampages against enemy Servants and Masters. Should any innocents that get in his way, he will slaughter them and consume their souls without a second's thought. It may be difficult for a Master to keep Rider within the secrecy of the Holy Grail War. However, for Masters who have no qualms about collateral damage or the sanctity of human life, Rider's nature may be a blessing in disguise.

Should Rider be physically touched, his Mental Pollution will permanently increase to A+. He will become even more bloodthirsty and reckless as a result.

* Ewigkeit (B Rank): A unique branch of magecraft from Rider's home land. By consuming the souls of other human beings, practitioners of Ewigkeit gain superhuman capabilities, such as enhanced physical prowess, amplified senses and the ability to regenerate wounds by using their consumed souls as fuel. As long as Rider possesses sufficient mana, he is guaranteed to recover from his injuries. He is capable of regenerating small injuries within seconds and large ones within a minute. He can even survive the destruction of his own head, albeit at a very high cost. However, if Rider lacks mana to heal a fatal injury, he will definitely die because of it.

* Instinct (A Rank): The ability to instantly identify “the best personal course of action” during combat. Despite his insanity, Rider is capable of subconsciously analyzing the enemy in the direction of his gaze, reading their facial expression, the frequency of their heart beats, sweating and adrenaline level before moving for the kill. He will rarely be affected by deception.

### Noble Phantasm

#### **Luger P08 & Mauser C96**

A pair of firearms that Rider favoured in life. He uses them so as to not physically touch his opponents. While they are seemingly mundane, their high-rate of fire and almost infinite ammunition supply makes them dangerous for even the hardiest of Servants.

Destruction of the firearms will temporarily grant a bonus to Rider's Mental Pollution.

#### **Lyngvi Vánagandr: Tornado Of Courage**

A WW2 Zundapp KS750 motorcycle that was Rider's favoured mount in life.

Its speed is equivalent to A++ agility, but lacks the maneuverability of a warrior on foot. Anything hit by the motorcycle will receive a blow equivalent to A-ranked Strength. However, the frame of motorcycle is fragile, much like its owner If the weight of three average adult humans forced upon the motorcycle, it will immediately crash.

The motorcycle can be damaged like an ordinary motorcycle and must be repaired like one as well.

#### **Niflheimr Fenriswolf: All Devouring Beast of the Abyss**

A representation of Rider's grandest desire: to not be touched. To activate this Noble Phantasm, Rider must complete a full incantation of the following:

"Ah, I plead with you. O' reaper of souls, leave me be!
Go far and touch me not, for I'm still young and warm with life's breath! Fear me not and take my hand, fair and beautiful one! I am your friend and came with no intention to harm you. Ah, there is nary a need to be afraid and startled, for no one shall hurt you. May you rest in my embrace, O' beloved one, and enjoy everlasting repose!"

Upon completion, this Noble Phantasm writes a single rule onto reality: Rider will always be faster/ahead of everything else. Effectively, his Agility becomes EX. Any attempts to outpace Rider will become impossible. Even if his opponents are moving at the speed of light or altering the flow of time, space will contort to ensure that he stays ahead.

Rider also receives a full rank up to his Strength for the duration of this Noble Phantasm, but becomes more reckless in his attacks as a result. Coupled with his extreme speed and low endurance, he may damage his own body with his attacks.

Such a rule is within Gaia's notice, who will attempt to revert reality as quickly as possible. Thus, the cost of maintaining this Noble Phantasm is very high. Even a Master with the best mana stores would only allow Rider to sustain this Noble Phantasm for a minute, at most.

To counter Niflheimr Fenriswolf, ensure that speed no longer matters (e.g. stopping time) or create an area that takes advantage of Rider's cripplingly low Endurance (e.g. Medusa's Bloodfort).
