ProfileEdit

IdentityEdit

Archer is an alternate version of Gilgamesh.

PersonalityEdit

Though ruthless in character he is not a villain. He does not refer to other people as "mongrels".

He refers to Saber as either "Saber" or Holy Blade Wielder (聖剣使い, SeikenTsukai^?).

He is better at reading a situation than his counterpart.

RoleEdit

Archer is the prototype version of Gilgamesh that was to be used in the original Fate/stay night novel that was penned and left uncompleted. He was only briefly mentioned in notes detailing the plot of the novel, and received an expanded role in Fate/Prototype.

His Master is the owner and president of a skyscraper that overlooks the city.

Much like his counterpart he sees himself as the strongest Servant despite being summoned into the Archer Class, which is ranked third amongst the seven Servants.

Because of this, he views Saber as his rival, as the Saber Class is above his own, and wants to prove his superiority. This is compounded when he first lays eyes upon Saber's Master, Sajyou Ayaka, whom he becomes besotted with and proposes to her, much like his counterpart would do to his version's Saber.

He was to interrupt a confession scene between Ayaka and Saber. Within her classroom during the twilight, he would appear as the atmosphere and mood between the two was getting better. From the teacher's desk he would proclaim -

"There are limits to even beauty! Within even Uruk, such a woman who would appeal to me so did not exist! Girl, swear to me. I will defeat Saber. And afterwards, I will make you my queen."

The girl would leave the classroom stuttering and babbling in a panic.

During the end of the middle half of the Grail War Ayaka becomes poisoned. Having the cure, a glowing liquid contained in a small vial, he taunts Saber with it, leading to one of their duels that in the Fate/Prototype trailer rages around Shinjuku, as their battle destroys one of the towers of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building.

Later on during the War it is noted that he is to crush Berserker.

AbilitiesEdit

Archer has two Noble Phantasms similar to Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon and Ea, Bab-ilu: Key of the King's Law (王律鍵(バヴ＝イル), ^?)

and Enki: Sword of the End (終末剣(エンキ), ^?). Bab-ilu functions identically to the Gate of Babylon, but the actual Noble Phantasm is a tattoo which proves Kingship rather than a key-sword. It fires weapons like a machine gun from a circular pattern of ten glowing orbs that appears around him. One of the main differences from Gate of Babylon is that it can be activated while he is moving.

Enki, named after the same god as Ea, is a pair of dual blades normally worn on his back, which have the function to turn the hilts ninety degrees to allow them to be used as tonfa knives. Upon invoking its true name, Enki takes the form of a bow. It generates an arrow that acts as a "tracer round" for the actual Enki, which is high in orbit above the earth along with six bolts. Once the arrow is fired, it acts as a homing signal for Enki, which converges with the bolts into "Star of Destruction" as it descends. Upon coming in contact with the target area, it disappears and expands into a giant magical circle that summons a tsunami to drown the target. As the sword that summons a flood, the volume in water increases each day after its activation, and after the seventh day, it turns into Utnapishtim's flood, which is a giant tsunami. Saber's Excalibur is able to win in a clash against it by vaporizing the water around him.
