**Berserker** (バーサーカー, Bāsākā) is the servant of Kazuya Mishima in the ??? Holy Grail War. He is also one of the main antagonists in Fate/Silver Echoes as the servant of Johan Liebert.

"*All it takes is **one bad day** to reduce the **sanest man alive** to **lunacy**. **That's** how far the **world** is from where **I** am. Just **one bad day**.*" - The Joker

## Profile

### Identity

Berserker's true identity is **the Joker**, Clown Prince of Crime and archenemy of Batman. Very little is known about his past; The Joker has told so many different stories, that not even he knows for sure. What little is known was that he was once a criminal under the guise of the Red Hood, who fell into a tank of chemicals in an encounter with Batman at the Ace Chemical plant. The chemicals disfigured him, giving him his signature clownish appearance and warped outlook on life.

### Personality

Berserker, simply put, is a complete psychopath, devoid of any conscience towards his actions. Many times, he has attempted acts of mass murder for the sake of jokes. He has a similar disregard for his own safety and survival, at times actively urging Batman to kill him, just so he can make his nemesis break his one rule. In an alternate reality, he even managed to break the spirit of one of his world's greatest heroes, laughing as he was brutally killed in retaliation. His madness has made him known and feared by heroes and villains alike in his world.

The only thing that matches Berserker's madness is his ego. He fashions himself as the greatest comedic genius ever and the greatest enemy of Batman. As such, he will not allow anyone else the "honor" of defeating or killing him, nor does he tolerate explaining the joke.

## Role

Summoned as the servant of Kazuya Mishima when he was selected by the grail to serve in the ??? Holy Grail War, Kazuya and Berserker join forces to wreak havoc on the other master and servants, along with any hapless bystanders who get in their way.

Together, they manage to flip the entire Holy Grail War on its head, bringing all of Japan to its knees. Berserker manipulates various criminal gangs across Japan into working with them and sets a trap using kidnapped hostages that nearly kills Rider, her master, and the hostages.

Their ultimate plan is to threaten the Chuch into turning over the Grail, or they will expose the War to the world. As a message for their ultimatum, Berserker and his henchmen deface the Church's main base of operations in Japan and flood the building with his Laughing Gas, killing almost everyone inside, except one survivor left alive to be the messenger. Their actions force the other remaining Masters and Servants, along with overseers sent by the Church and Association, to form an uneasy alliance to defeat them and end their reign of terror. They devise a plan to stop the duo before they expose the War and plunge the world into chaos.

### Fate/Silver Echoes

In the Holy Grail War, Berserker is summoned as the servant of Johan Liebert. The two join forces to flip the entire Holy Grail War on its head.

## Abilities

Despite lacking any superpowers in life, Berserker was a criminal mastermind, every bit as intelligent as he was insane. In life, he could easily match wits with Batman, and manipulate the minds of the sane and insane alike, swaying many in the criminal underworld into joining his gang.

In addition, he is an expert in chemistry and physics, developing his wide array of joke-themed weapons, from razor edged playing cards, acid-squirting lapel flowers, deadly electric joy buzzers, and "bang flag" guns that fire out like spear guns.

Berserker has an unnatural habit of cheating death, as he has survived and returned from situations and things that should have ended his career, if not outright be fatal.

### Noble Phantasm

#### **The Killing Joke** - "*All it takes is one bad day*"

This Noble phantasm opens a Reality Marble that takes the form of a surreal madhouse, where his victims are subjected to various tortures, both physical and psychological. The strength of this Noble Phantasm, as well as what specifically it inflicts on its victims, varies wildly depending on Berserker's mood, though its psychological effects will guaranteed to be sustaining.

#### **Joker Venom** - "*It's a real gas*"

Berserker's most deadly and haunting weapon, it is a noxious chemical concoction that can take on either liquid or gaseous form. It causes such uncontrollable fits of laughter in its victims that they die of suffocation, while contorting their facial muscles into a ghoulish smile. Having devised concoctions capable of bringing down some of the most powerful beings in his world, the strength of this Noble Phantasm varies greatly depending on the materials available to Berserker. Berserker himself is immune to it due to his long term exposure.
