Fate/hollow Ataraxia - Characters

Characters

Bazett Fraga McRemitz (バゼット・フラガ・マクレミッツ, Bazetto Furaga Makuremittsu?)

A mage sent from the Mage's Association to fight the 5th War of the Holy Grail, born in Ireland as a descendant of old mage family of an unusual bloodline. She is mentioned very briefly in Fate/stay night. The original Master of Lancer, she was betrayed by Kirei Kotomine and became the master of the Servant Avenger. She is voiced by Hitomi Nabatame in Fate/tiger Colosseum, Fate/Unlimited Codes, and Carnival Phantasm.

Caren Ortensia (カレン・オルテンシア, Karen Orutenshia?)

The main heroine of this game, Caren is a member of the Church and Burial Agency, and she works as a priestess. She is kind and forgiving to the point that she believes her only purpose in life is to help others, even if she is hurt in the process. She never blames the person who has hurt her and blames the act on demons who caused the person to commit the sin. Whenever she is at fault, she apologizes to God rather than the person. Despite her kindness, she has a love for teasing and exploiting others’ emotional vulnerability. Upon discovery of an individual’s weak spot, she enjoys bringing it out to light in front of all to witness. While this antagonizes many characters and causes much outrage and humiliation, she remains calm. Also, in spite of being a priestess, she has deliberately chosen to wear a revealing costume with no skirt to both increase her mobility and to seduce men.

As a member of the Church, Caren assists in exorcisms. Her body itself possesses an unusual property: if there is a person nearby who has been possessed by a demon, she will experience the same pain as the possessed person. As a result, exorcists employ her to act as a radar of sorts to find demons. This ability is most evident whenever she comes in proximity to the Servant Avenger as her body sprouts grotesque spikes. As a result of this power, she is covered in bandages. She also experiences physical pain whenever people in proximity do evil things. In battle, she uses a red cloth of Magdala, which has the power to forcefully bind men. However, while the man is bound, no harmful physical attacks can be made against him or Magdala will be rendered useless. She is actually the daughter of Kotomine Kirei.

She is voiced by Ami Koshimizu in Fate/tiger colosseum, the All Around TYPE-MOON Drama CD and Carnival Phantasm.

Avenger (アヴェンジャー, Avenger?)

The 8th Servant, who was accidentally summoned in the 3rd war, appears suddenly as Bazett's new Servant. His true name is believed to be Angra Mainyu, an evil spirit of Zoroastrianism. In truth, Avenger is simply a villager from centuries before whom was sacrificed out of a misguided fear that he embodied "all the evil of the world". Though he loves the world, his suffering makes him hate humanity. He is voiced by Takuma Terashima in Fate/tiger colosseum.

Shirō Emiya (衛宮 士郎, Emiya Shirō?)

Within this installment, Shirō experiences unexpected changes in personality and momentary lapses in memory, particularly related to his own skills. In reality, it was Avenger, the eight Servant, who took possession of Shirō's form during daytime. Whether the Shirō present in the story is the original being possessed by Avenger, or a copy created as a mere disguise, is not known.

Rin Tōsaka (遠坂 凛, Tōsaka Rin?)

In the first half of the game, Rin is in London. She returns in the second half with an apparently dramatic change in personality (specifically, a penchant for cosplaying as a miko or magical girls). However, she has also become an experienced mage, demonstrating this when she was the first to logically compose an explanation as to why time has been looping for four days and when she gives Shirō advice. In Fate/hollow ataraxia, she wields the Kaleidostick, another of Zeltretch's inventions which, when activated, transfers knowledge from an alternate version of its user into its current wielder, in addition to providing an ample source of Mana. However, the Kaleidostick dislikes its creator, and frequently manipulates its user into humiliating situations. In Fate/hollow ataraxia, the Kaleidostick is responsible for transforming Rin into the magical girl Kaleido-Ruby.

Other characters

While playing less prominent roles, all Masters and Servants of the 5th Holy Grail War from Fate/stay night appear again, with the exception of Kirei Kotomine, Zouken Matou, and True Assassin.
