Avenger (Infinite Paths - Batman)

**Avenger** (アヴェンジャー, Avenjā) is the Eighth Servant summoned in an alternate version of the Fourth Holy Grail War.

"*I am vengeance! I am the night! I am **BATMAN!***"

## Profile

### Identity

Avenger's true identity is **Batman**, the legendary Dark Knight Detective.

As a child, Bruce Wayne witnessed his wealthy parents murdered in front of him by a mugger on the way home from the cinema. This traumatic event would drive the young Bruce to vow vengeance against crime, tempered by a sense of justice, and he would dedicate his life to honing his body and mind to peak perfection. Assuming the mantle of a bat, a universal symbol of fear, Bruce would use his training and family's resources to wage his crusade against crime as the Batman.

## Role

### Infinite Paths

In an alternate timeline, Angra Mainyu attempted to summon an eighth servant in the Fourth Holy Grail War to bring about pain and suffering on the world. Avenger was chosen based on his legendary ability to inspire fear, but this decision proved to be a critical mistake, as he would instead do what he was best known for in life.

First, he would stalk Assassin, incapacitating one of his bodies and intimidating him though what it saw.

Avenger then apprehended Kiritsugu Emiya for his murder of innocent people, hanging him upside down from a skyscraper. Kiritsugu summoned Saber to rescue him, but as Avenger took his leave, he declared Kiritsugu was no hero.

Avenger then went after Caster, first knocking out his master before blinding him with a flash grenade and striking him, sending him crashing through a wall. Caster summoned a water demon to face him, only for it to be rammed by the Batmobile and blasted by its onboard weapons. Caster found his spell book was struck by a batarang, which electrocuted him and burned the spell book. Caster was then promptly incapacitated by Avenger, but not before getting a close look at his assailant as he fell unconscious.

## Abilities

### Skills

#### Class Skills

Riding (B Rank): Avenger was an expert driver in life, and indeed one of his Noble Phantasms is a vehicle. He has such aptitude for the skill that he could also be summoned as a Rider servant if need be.

Presence Concealment (A Rank): A master of stealth and infiltration, he could easily qualify as an Assassin servant, though his moral code prevents him from taking advantage of this to kill enemy masters. In life, his mastery of stealth has allowed him to evade powerful meta-humans and aliens with senses so acute they can sense most things from miles away.

#### Personal Skills

Spectre of Vengeance (B Rank): Avenger's legend began with the quest for vengeance against the murderer of his parents. As a result, when under the Avenger class, and when faced with a foe his moral code declares evil, he gains a boost in one rank to all of his skills.

Discernment of the Detective (A Rank): True to his title, Avenger is a detective of such deductive skills and intuition that few in history could rival. He is able to solve seemingly unsolvable crimes with only a small handful of clues, and can accurately read people's thoughts through their pulses alone.

Expert of Many Specializations (A Rank): Though he had no super powers in life, Avenger was one of the most intelligent minds and skilled fighters in the world. He is a polymath with expertise in numerous different intellectual fields and has mastered at least 127 different forms of martial arts. Renowned for his mastery of fear and psychological manipulation, especially of the criminal mind, Avenger is able to make even the most hardened individuals unnerved.

Battle Continuation (A Rank): Avenger is able to power through seemingly fatal injuries through sheer force of will. In life, he has been injured numerous times, yet managed to successfully defeat more powerful opponents or escape to his lair.

### Noble Phantasm

#### **The Legend of the Bat** - "*Creator of Cowardice and Superstition*"

    A passive Noble Phantasm that creates an almost tangible aura of fear around his presence that makes enemies unable to sufficiently concentrate when confronted by him, and can even prevent them from recalling their own trump cards or take in all details of his appearance, unless negated by A ranked Bravery. When facing a "justified target", its rank will increase to A+, and is only resistible with EX ranked Bravery

#### **The Batmobile** - "*Metallic Steed of the Night*"

    The mount most commonly associated with Avenger in life, this large, sleek black car is capable of taking any damage short of a direct attack from Noble Phantasms. It is armed with a vast arsenal of weaponry, from tasers and caltraps, to machine guns and flamethrowers. It has an auto-pilot feature and can outpace any modern vehicle.
