Summary
Aka no Caster serves as the Caster-class Servant for Jean Rum within the Red Faction during the Great Holy Grail War depicted in Fate/Apocrypha. He prioritizes the narrative above all else, employing lies and deceit to orchestrate events that allow him to witness a grand, unparalleled tale. Consequently, he distances himself from the mindset of a mere participant, adopting the perspective of an abstract, Authorial third person instead. His attitude toward others varies depending on whether they qualify as special existences or protagonists; he treats normal humans with shallow dismissiveness while harboring an extreme interest in protagonists. Slightly narcissistic, he often quotes self-authored lines such as, "Things bad begun make strong themselves by ill," and has adopted modern fiction terminology like "Death-Flagging." He uses concise, effective words to expose hidden truths, delivering shocking insights that feel like sudden jabs with rambling, incongruous language. Viewing the world as the greatest story ever told, he willingly uses deception and provocation to spin the narrative. He deeply loves those who are extraordinary, avidly following their tales, and with exaggerated emotional outbursts, he acts freely while gracefully accepting the label of trickster.
