**Assassin of "Daybreak"** ("黎明"のアサシン, *"Reimei" no Asashin*?) is the Assassin-class Servant of Edvárd Kápárty of the Daybreak Faction in the Great Holy Grail War of *Fate/chaos revival*. For the initial stages of the Holy Grail War, she forms a temporary contract with Shirou Emiya so as to provide her with additional mana due to her actual Master doing other things that prevented him from being present and giving her orders.

## Profile

### Identity

Assassin's True Name is that of **Elizabeth Báthory** (エリザベート・バートリー, *Erizabēto Bātorī*?, Hungarian: *Báthory Erzsébet*), a Hungarian noblewoman alive during the latter portions of the sixteenth century. She is neither that of her younger self from one continuity nor that of her monstrous older self from another continuity but can be considered somewhere in between, as both the ***Blood Countess*** (朱の伯夫人, *Ake no Hakufujin*?) and the ***Dragon's Daughter*** (竜の娘, *Ryū no Musume*?).

#### Legend

Erzsébet was born into the renowned Hungarian magus lineage of Báthory, the second child of George and Anna. While she was diagnosed to have thirteen Magic Circuits, she lacked any of the standard Elemental Affinities, which rendered her incompatible with her family’s Earth-based tradition, even if she was born the heir. Instead, she was engaged to another magus of renown in the area, Ferenc Nádasdy, at the age of eleven. When they married three and half years later, Erzsébet moved to her new husband's castle in Sárvár. What her husband never found out was that a year earlier his wife had a humble peasant take her virginity and impregnate her, merely as an experiment on the experience of pregnancy and motherhood. What could have easily have become a terrible scandal in the midst of Hungarian aristocracy mattered little to the clinically cold young lady.

The couple did not spend much time together, what with Ferenc's studies and later the war against the Ottomans. With all the time in the world and little to do beyond administrating her husband's lands, Erzsébet took to the arcane arts that had been denied to her in her early years. Fortunately for her, her husband's most basic literature was not ensorcelled or protected, allowing her to develop her magic pretty much in a self-taught manner. Erzsébet was determined and possessed an incredible tolerance to pain; failure only drove her to try harder to find the branch of magic she could excel at. She quickly learned that using her own blood, either as a reagent in potion-making or as a component in a ritual, almost always resulted in unexpected and rarely negative effects. Further research led her to conclude that her Elemental Affinity was likely to be '*Life*', a variation of Ether, the Fifth Imaginary Factor. Using her blood as the representation of the '*flow of life*' and Alchemy as a basis, Erzsébet developed a thaumaturgical foundation and quickly grew in power and skill. It is truly lamentable that what could have become a potent Thaumaturgical System was completely lost with her passing.

At the same time that her research became fruitful, the threat of the expanding Ottoman Empire knocked at the front doors of her territory. Located precisely on the road to rich and wondrous Vienna, her husband’s Csejte Castle and surrounding village were most definitely relevant targets. Their numbers would never be sufficient but, if she could somehow use her magecraft to protect her lands...

Erzsébet turned to her latest research: the creation of artificial Magic Circuits. "*Warfare was normally a job for men, but, if I could assemble a cabal of magi out of the otherwise hapless women, then we would have a better chance to prevent Csejte from ever falling!*"

It started with those she believed possessed magical talent. She would awaken their Magic Circuits and reveal to them the world of mysteries that fate would have otherwise denied them. Once she had a small group of followers, the collection of subjects for the trial implantations began in earnest.

There were successes, eventually; commendable achievements that speak volumes of Báthory Erzsébet's genius at Thaumaturgy. However, before those successes, there were also many, many failures: pitiful young women who suffered horrible agony as they fell apart upon a lamentable attempt to contain an unnatural structure both the World and their own bodies earnestly rejected. In the beginning, Erzsébet lamented and wept over every single death but she was a researcher with a mission; her devotion to her objective became reckless abandon and an unhealthy obsession. Every failure became a step closer to fruition. Her mind was able to justify her atrocious experiments, and she never looked back or regretted anything. The broken bodies and pools of blood left behind by the sacrificed test subjects were morbidly recycled and used for other avenues of research—their blood vessels and nervous systems embedded into the very walls of Csejte Castle and used as external channels for the conversion of ambient mana into magical energy to power the formidable defenses of the castle and the ever-increasing amount of magical experiments taking place in the dungeons Erzsébet had claimed as her workshop. In her determination to protect her land and its people, she almost dragged them to hell along with her.

The conclusion of this pitiful story is as well-known in the revealed history. The countless deaths, consequences of Erzsébet’s unending research, could not remain hidden forever not even with magecraft. The odd happenings at Csejte eventually caught the attention of the wrong people, and the brilliant and unhinged magus was brought to justice. While the Mage's Association would have loved to get its hands on the records of her research, Erzsébet took down all of Csejte’s magical defenses before she was locked away, allowing everything to be destroyed by the angry mob which assaulted the underground dungeons in outrage and disgust at the public version of the grim happenings that took place in there.

Demon summoning, bathing in blood for the sake of eternal youth—those are ridiculous lies, but they conceal a truth just as outrageous and further add to the weight of her legend. Regardless of why all those women died in the dungeons of Csejte Castle, Báthory Erzsébet has been immortalized as the most prolific female serial killer in history: a woman who started with the best of intentions, unhesitatingly stepping into a horrendous road to ruin.

### Appearance

Assassin has the appearance of a thirteen-year-old girl with just above waist-length rose pink hair and piercing teal eyes. Originally, her hair was black in color but due to the influence of Innocent Monster, her hair discolored to pink to reflect her vampiric nature. Her eyes are framed by thin eyebrows along with a high-bridged flat nose. Her skin is deathly pale and her thin lips a soft pink. Along with her hair, she also possesses a dragon's tail and the horns of a dragon on her head, another telltale influence of Innocent Monster, although this time, it is reflecting the legends around the possibly draconic origins of the Báthory clan.

Upon initial summoning, her clothes are obviously not something that would have been worn in her time, although the basic design seems to be inspired by 16th-century dresses. While from the waist down her black full skirt is properly modest and made ample with a wide farthingale, the black bodice that should cover her torso possessing an awfully low neckline that narrows into a V-shaped gap long enough to display her modest cleavage and her bellybutton (although the lace that ties the garment together does do a decent job at hiding her bare skin). The bodice is fastened with a single golden hook in the shape of a dragon biting its own tail, the coat of arms of the Báthory family.

Her casual dress consists of rose pink stockings that match her hair and a black mid-thigh-length skirt with a white long-sleeved high-collared shirt that hides her body from public view as per her Master's orders (it seemed that her Master had spent a few hours explaining to her the concept of public decency). She also wears a black bowtie as well as black ribbons just under her dragon horns along with a black cap between her horns.

### Personality

Assassin is simply a mighty magus who rarely smiles. Perpetually locked in a youthful appearance, it is still hard for her to conceal the aged weariness and experience reflected in her sharp eyes the color of teal. To this woman, there is a time for pleasure and a time for work and unfortunately for her, pleasure is too rare a commodity. She has too many things to do, all for the sake of whatever duty she has appointed for herself at the time. It is precisely that single-mindedness that makes her both innocent and cruel at the same time.

Assassin is both aware of her appealing looks yet entirely uninterested in seducing others, and she might sometimes do the most provoking and enticing gestures without the slightest intention. For a person immortalized in legend as the cruelest of killers and her major lack of outward expression, she is a surprisingly outgoing, respectful and amiable person, as long as you don’t get in the way of whatever she is devoted to at the moment. She is undeniably vain, self-centered and narcissistic, perhaps because she truly believes that she and her work are the stuff of greatness and thus deserving of undivided care and attention. A person who does not share her highest opinion of her greatness and that of her magic will quickly find themselves her enemy.

Furthermore, whatever chance she had of connecting with others was ruined by the mental disease that was the bane of her family—from an early age, like many among those of the blood of Báthory, Assassin suffered from terrible fits and bursts of uncontrollable rage and wanton savagery that more often than not was unleashed on hapless furniture. This only added to her reputation and to the public image that ruined her in the end.

### Relationships

Archer
"*Was your compatibility with your Master just that amazing, Archer? Did it have to warrant taking over her body without her permission? You are quite unbecoming for a Servant... Hmm? Oh, really, your Master forgives you? Well, if that's the case, then I shall refrain from commenting further.*"
Archer of Daybreak
"*I do believe you are missing your merry men, Archer. However, I can see that you have brought her with you. In the end, women matter to you more than your friends, eh?*"
Archer of Twilight
"*Tch, I'm not good with handling Archers if they're my opponent.*"
Assassin of Twilight
"*Damn, it's that witch of Camelot... Hey, uh, False Saber, Caster, you sure you two will be fine?*"
Berserker of Daybreak
"*You are a dragon as well? ... What did you say? You* turned into a dragon *because your lover betrayed you? Haha, that is such a hilarious joke! Although, I shant laugh any more than this as I can most definitely tell the magical energy wafting off of you to be draconic in nature.*"
Berserker of Twilight
"*A monster... Reviling. Not like I'm one to talk but still. Berserker, I shall strike you down.*"
Caster of Daybreak
"*Well, aren't you an interesting specimen... Care to share bits of your research with me? I may do the same with you concerning my magecrafts.*"
Caster of Twilight
"*Tch... This Labyrinth of his is a pain...!*"
Edvárd Kápárty
"*Master, you sure are helpless without me, aren't you?*"
False Rider
"*So as to prevent confusion, you were named "*Rider*", huh? You seem more of a Saber to me but I digress. Perhaps I should ask Ruler what your situation is...*"
False Saber
"*Hoh, so you are the famous King Arthur. It is an honor to fight alongside you, the strongest and most honorable and chivalrous of the dragons.*"
Lancer of Daybreak
"*Quite the natural leader, are you, Lancer? That's an intriguingly high Charisma you possess. As we are on the same side, I shall deign to listen to your orders. Your Master seems to have a good head on him.*
Lancer of Twilight
"*Pfft. Lancer, why must you fight against your nature? Simply accept that the masses have declared you a monster. That is the easiest way to ease your suffering.*"
Rider of Daybreak

Rider of Twilight
"*Quite the dashing hero, are you?*"
Ruler
"*What are you going to do, Ruler? Use a Command Spell and force me to commit suicide? I admit that I am a monster but I won't follow your orders. I have answered the call and became Edvárd-sama's Servant so I could at least begin to atone for my atrocities.*"
Saber of Daybreak
"*Ireland's Child of Light, is it? As you have manifested as a Saber, you do not have access to your spear... I would've loved to compare the effectiveness of your spear versus my ripoff of your spear.*"
Saber of Twilight
"*Who could've thought that the Knight-Leader of the Twelve Paladins of Charlemagne was a female! I'm simply appalled. The world is certainly such a large place.*"
## Role

### *Fate/chaos revival*

Assassin is summoned in an elaborate ceremony by Edvárd Kápárty in an extremely elaborate ritual which occurred after he had kidnapped and sacrificed forty virgin girls one week prior to the day that was to be designated "Day 0"; using himself as a catalyst, Edvárd planned to summon his ancestor, that is, Assassin, as his Servant and it was successful. Amused by the fact that she was called on by her own descendant, Assassin swore the oath and agreed to become Edvárd's loyal Servant. She would then follow her Master and forge a temporary contract with Shirou Emiya, the Master of Lancer, saying that he had a plan to carry out infiltrating the Twilight Faction and he was unable to take his Servant with him. Trusting her Master's judgement, Assassin attached herself to Shirou.
