Lancer (ランサー, Ransā?) is a Lancer-class Servant able to be summoned by the Protagonist in the Grand Orders of Fate/Grand Order.
Profile
Identity
Lancer's True Name is Artoria Pendragon, King Arthur, the legendary King of Knights who controlled Britain.[1]
She manifested as Lancer due to her holy spear Rhongomyniad. She is a possibility where Artoria uses Rhongomyniad instead of Excalibur as her main weapon during her reign. Although she takes a human form, she can no longer be called a Human Heroic Spirit. Due to the properties concealed in the holy spear, she has changed or mutated into an existence closer to a Divine Spirit; a goddess if anything. Her bodily age actually grows without intervention of Excalibur. However, merely using it for ten years hasn't changed her mentality and spiritual construction too much.[1]
This version of her is a Heroic Spirit of Heavens that, at Camlann HillWP, gave back the holy spear herself and returned to the land.[1]
Appearance
There are various opinions about the body weight or figure from when she is a Lancer.[1]
Personality
While she has turned more rational, more collected than holy sword Artoria, her humanity has not been lost. Rather, there are now composure in her choices thanks to becoming an adult, achieving an ideal way of being as a king.[1]
She, who was summoned as a Servant in Chaldea, knows the beauty of the world. In order to retrieve the world that shines not in the far away, she will certainly fight together with the Master, wielding all the power she has.[1]
Role
Fate/Grand Order
Camelot: The Sacred Round Table Realm
The Servant known as the Lion King (獅子王, Shishi-ō?) has the same appearance as her.[1] She is from an alternate history where Bedivere never returned Excalibur to the Lady of the Lake.[2] Although she was not able to die when she was fated to die and, as consequence, ended up becoming a wandering ghost while retaining the Rhongomyniad. Because the "Lion King" who held onto the holy spear has completely turned into a Divine Spirit, its inner aspects are different from this version of her.[1]
There is another Artoria called the Goddess Rhongomyniad (女神ロンゴミニアド, Megami Rongominiado?). Unlike the Lancer Artoria summoned by Chaldea, this Lancer Artoria has become a complete Divine Spirit due to Rhongomyniad and is not a Servant at all.
Salomon: The Grand Time Temple
She is amongst the Camelot Singularity Servant to assist the Chaldea against Demon Gods Pillar. According to her quotes, it is highly suggests that this version of her is actually the Lion King from the 6th singularity.[3]
Abilities
Being summoned as Lancer, she has exchanged Excalibur for her Spear, Rhongomyniad. She is always mounted in this form, her steed being her horse Dun Stallion (ドゥン・スタリオン, Dun Sutarion?).[1]
