Caster (Fate/Crossover - Eddie Riggs)

**Caster** (キャスター, *Kyasutā*) is the servant of ??? in the ??? Holy Grail War.

*"A good roadie knows his whole job is to make someone else look good, keep someone else safe, help someone else do what they were put here to do. A good roadie stays out of the spotlight. If he's doing his job right, you don't even know he's there. Once in a while he might step on stage just to fix a problem, to set something right. But then before you even realize he was there or what he did, he's gone."* — Eddie Riggs

## Profile

### Identity

Caster's true identity is **Edward "Eddie" Riggs**, the protagonist of Brütal Legend. Eddie is the leader of the Ironheade faction.

### Personality

Eddie's personality can be immature at times, and he is almost always sarcastic and snarky. However, he also knows when it's time to be serious, and is an efficient and capable leader of men. He also knows that, as a roadie, his place isn't in the leadership of an army - a fact proven upon his initial meeting with Lars Halford. Eddie is also friendly and a good advisor, when people (Lita, Kage, and the Headbangers) have doubts of what they can do, Eddie supports them and helps them realize how strong and powerful they really are. Eddie also has a strong sense of justice in him when someone is being attacked or discriminated, like when Doviculus killed both Lars and Ophelia, Eddie would stop at nothing to defeat him and avenge his friends.

When it comes to Ophelia, Eddie can't help but feel strongly about her. He was partly jealous of Lars when Ophelia acknowledges him instead of Eddie, but he doesn't let it change the way he thinks of his friends. Even when Ophelia was taken in by the Drowning Doom, Eddie still loved her, and he was willing to do whatever it took to save her.

## Abilities

Eddie is proclaimed as the "greatest roadie of all time", and supports that fact throughout the game. He is able to build the Deuce from spare parts summoned at the Temple of Ormagoden, and later organises and leads the armies of Ironheade.

He is also a skilled guitarist, able to perfectly read tabulature and shred with Clementine surprisingly well. He can use the Separator almost perfectly, even though he admits that he'd never touched an axe before. This may be the influence of having a warrior father and a demon mother, who also wielded the axe. Eddie is also very strong. As he was assembling the Druid Plow he lifted its body and frame with ease. He's also shown carrying large amp towers for the Roadies to carry when gearing up to assault Lionwhyte's stronghold.

### Skills

#### Class Skills

* Item Construction (B Rank): In his previous life as a roadie, Caster has great experience with building items, be it stage props, instrument maintenance, or even creating vehicles. At Rank B, Caster can create or maintain a wide variety of mundane and magical items with a specialization in things related to music or showmanship.

#### Personal Skills

* Magecraft (B Rank): In life Caster was renowned for his musical abilities, which were imbued with a variety of magical effects ranging from strengthening his allies to pinning his enemies to literally melting his foes’ faces off. At Rank B, Caster can cast magecraft solely through the use of music; the longer his performance goes uninterrupted, the greater the effect will be.

* Demonic Heritage (B Rank): Caster is the son of a powerful demon, granting him some demonic aspects. He can temporarily create wings to grant himself increased maneuverability, and he has an increased vulnerability to anti-demonic weapons.

### Noble Phantasm

#### **Clementine; "Light and Like a Fairy"**

Clementine is a guitar that serves as Caster’s weapon and focus for his magecraft. Through basic guitar playing, Caster can create a variety of offensive magic effects to strike down his foes. By playing epic solos, Caster can manifest greater spells to either strengthen his allies or wipe out entire groups of enemies.

#### **You Can’t Kill the Metal; "The Metal Will Live On"**

You Can’t Kill the Metal brings Caster and everyone within its radius into a Reality Marble resembling the world where his legend grew. The Reality Marble is a field with two stages roughly one kilometer away from each other. Caster commands an army similar to the one that he led in life to crush his enemies. While in his Reality Marble, Caster’s magecraft goes up one rank. The Reality Marble lasts until it is dismissed by Caster, Caster runs out of prana, or his enemy is defeated.
