Assassin (Fate/Crossover - Lockdown)

**Assassin** (アサシン, *Asashin*) is the servant of ??? in the ??? Holy Grail War.

"*I'm not that good with names and faces, but I never forget a trophy*." - Lockdown

## Profile

### Identity

Assassin's true identity is **Lockdown**, a bounty hunter of nominal allegiance to the Decepticons.

Lockdown was originally an Autobot in the Cyber-Ninja Corps and one of Yoketron's greatest students. However, he cared little for his master's spiritual ways and was banshied for bringing shame to the Corps. He went on to become a bounty hunter for the Decepticons, with his first job being to lead the assault on the Cyber-Ninja dojo and steal the cache of protoforms stored within, killing his former master and stealing his helmet in the process.

### Personality

Lockdown can best be described as a cold-sparked sociopath. One who even some Decepticons give a wide berth towards. Outwardly, he caries himself with a coolly professional business-like affability, addressing his Master as his "client". However this is simply a front for his malicious disregard for anyone but himself, joining the Decepticons almost exclusively for mercenary reasons, but will turn on anyone for the right price. Not even his own Master is safe, as he is loyal to none but money and upgrades. His victims are little more than trophies for the wall in his optics, something he openly admits to being his favorite part of the hunt.

### Relationships

#### **Megatron**

As the Decpticon leader, and thus his most regular client, Lockdown holds a purely professional working relationship with him.

## Abilities

### Skills

#### Class Skills

* Presence Concealment (A- Rank): Hides one's presence as a Servant. Suitable for spying. It is possible to disappear completely and become almost impossible to be detected, even against a Servant's perception. However, efficiency will decrease once preparations to attack are taken.
* Independent Action (A Rank): It is possible to take action even without a Master. However, to use Noble Phantasms of great magical energy consumption, backup from the Master is necessary. At Rank A, it is possible for a Servant to stay in the world for about a week without a Master.
* Riding (C Rank): Lockdown is a capable, though not outstanding pilot. This skill would be A Rank if summoned under the Rider-class.

#### Personal Skills

* Battle Continuation (A Rank): Cybertronians are naturally resilient, and Lockdown is no exception. He can endure a great deal of punishment, and as long as his spark remains intact, he can be summoned again in a new body at the cost of a Command Seal. Only the death of his Master, loss of all Command Seals, or the complete extinguishing of his spark will be able to kill Lockdown permanently.
* Transformation (B Rank): The ability to transform between robot and vehicle form at will is a fundamental aspect of the Cybertronian race. Lockdown's vehicle mode is that of a spiked Muscle Car line with gadgets.
* Ninjutsu (Cyber) (A+ Rank): This particular school of ninjutsu is exclusive to Cybertron. One where Lockdown proved as one of the greatest, though he never learned, nor care to learn, the spiritual teachings of Processor-Over-Matter. Nevertheless, Lockdown is highly a trained combatant and tracker. He is very learned in Cybertronian martial arts such as Metallikato and Circuit-Su, being skillful enough to hold his own against even Optimus Prime in single combat.

### Noble Phantasm

#### **Death's Head** - *Finest freelance of the stars, yes?*

Lockdown's personal starship. This IG-2000 class vessel is armed with Deckard cannons and Samus-blasters, is capable of space flight and speed beyond anything created by man, and possesses Vandarian holographic technology to conceal itself in plane sight. It is also where Lockdown stores his cache of body mods.

#### **Trophy Upgrade** - *Thrill of the Hunt*

This Noble Phantasm emblemizes Lockdown's collection of hunting trophies in the form of body upgrades taken from his victims. It allows him access to various mods he's acquired over the years for just about any situation. It also allows him to steal Noble Phantasms to claim as his own. However, he cannot access their full power.
