Tentative System

Several years after the Fifth Holy Grail War in Fuyuki, El-Melloi II and Tohsaka Rin dismantled the Greater Grail, against the wishes of the Mage's Association. A brief battle ensued, but in the end, the Greater Grail was destroyed, and the Grail Wars of Fuyuki came to a final, complete conclusion.

However, a year after the destruction of the Greater Grail, word spread through the Mage's Association of a new Grail War to be hosted in the United States, without the interference of the Church or the Three Families. The city chosen for this new war was Wellston, Maine, a small town nestled near the shore away. The town was notable for only one thing – the Wellston Boys Academy, once a military school and now a private boarding school.

Like the Holy Grail War, this one came with a promise: the grail would grant the wish of the winner. Soon enough, in the fall of 2012, this new grail began to seek out masters. Strange letters found their way into the hands of its chosen magi, guiding them to the site where the war would begin.

Masters of Red

Shizuka Yori Servant: Lancer of Red Info: Yori hails from a virtually unknown family of mages originally from Japan, but now centered mostly in France. Though her style of magic is unknown, her power is evidenced through Lancer's strength and unusual luck, and the two get along seamlessly. Yori is young and slight, looking to be about sixteen, and has a casual air around her. She has a cheerful, upbeat demeanor, and seems to want to work together with the other Masters of Red.

Silvania Harper Servant: Rider of Red Info: An American magic family, the Harpers are known to practice a style known as 'resonant magic', the details of which are well-guarded. Silvania herself appears to be in her mid-twenties and has a disheveled appearance, as though perpetually hungover. She has a biting sense of humor and seems to play with the image of the pop culture witch, wearing a lot of black cat and skull logos. Silvania is often at odds with her servant, who finds her lazy and undisciplined.

Basout Bedevere Servant: Caster of Red Info: Last scion of the once proud Bedevere line, evidence of Basout's difficult life are laid plain by the burns across his face. More burns and scars cover much of his torso and arms, which he keeps under bandages and baggy clothing. Basout is aloof, quiet, and approaches the Grail War with disinterest, allowing his Servant to act largely how she wants. Though his face and eyes are weary, Basout is no older than fifteen, and is currently posing as a transfer student at Wellston Boys Academy.

Servants of Red

Lancer of Red Spirit: Honda Tadakatsu Info: Honda Tadakatsu was a Sengoku era general known as one of the Tokugawa Four Heavenly Kings. As a general, Tadakatsu is unparalleled, leading ranks of musketeers and participating in nearly all Tokugawa battles. His skill with a spear was incredible and his own weapon, Tonbo-Giri, was said to be so sharp that a dragonfly landing on the tip was cut in two. Tadakatsu was also rumored to be invincible, "The Warrior Who Surpassed Death", and never once received a wound throughout his many years of active military service.

Rider of Red Spirit: Genghis Khan Info: Born as Temujin, the man known as Genghis Khan is credited with founding the Mongol Empire, one of the largest empires in history. By uniting many nomadic tribes, Genghis Khan created an extreme mobile military force that relied heavily on cavalry, as many as three or four horses per rider, combined with archery. Genghis Khan's campaigns became known for their brutality and their speed, and under his leadership the Mongols rapidly adopted their subjects' technologies. Though not known for his own fighting prowess, Genghis Khan is credited with greatly advancing the culture and prosperity of the Mongols and is celebrated as a charismatic leader and ruler.

Caster of Red Spirit: Circe Info: Circe is a powerful witch and temptress hailing from ancient Greece. Banished to a solitary island for murdering her husband, Circe used her vast knowledge of alchemy and magic to transform men into animals via potion and wand. She kept her victims as pets, drugged into submission, and used them to lure in ever more men to be her playthings - those that might escape, she instead poisoned rather than let free. From her island home, she also wove a complex net of politics across the Greek mainland, and knew the ways into and out of the Underworld.

The Neutral

Ruler Spirit: Cleopatra VII Philopator Info: The story of Cleopatra is known around the world - the last pharaoh of Ancient Egypt, Cleopatra is renowned as one of the most beautiful women of all time. Through her charm and guile, she captivated a number of men, including Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, and would eventually posture herself as a reincarnation of the Egyptian goddess Isis. The most famous story of Cleopatra is, of course, her death, where she committed suicide by holding two poisonous asps to her breasts rather than be taken captive by invading Roman armies. Cleopatra has been summoned as the Ruler class, a special Servant class responsible for seeing that the rules of the war are upheld. Ruler is also responsible for preventing outside interference with the game, both from the Church and from the Mage's Association. She appears to be posing as a literature teacher at Wellston Boys Academy under the name Claura Robertson.

The Holy Grail Info: Supposedly, the Holy Grail is a relic, a chalice that has received the blood of Christ. The Church has investigated numerous claims of the Grail's existence, but none have proven to be true. The "Holy Grail" used during the Fuyuki City Wars is in fact a replica, a container designed to hold the energy of defeated Heroic Spirits, then use that energy to open a path to the Root, a fabled source of True Magic. At the end of the fifth Fuyuki City War, the Holy Grail was supposedly dismantled, but another has appeared in Wellston. Considering the corruption that had infected the Fuyuki Grail, some mages believe that the Wellston Grail may have a similarly malicious edge.

Slate Info: According to Ruler, the man known as Slate has been recruited to help keep third parties from interfering with the Grail War. Muscled and scarred, he also dresses like a total Slav. His knowledge of magic and magecraft remains a mystery.

??? Info: A strange girl seen by Ivan and Elio on the first night of the Grail War. She appears to have been watching them once they arrived on campus and made sure they knew. Before she could be confronted, she disappeared, leaving only her vaguely threatening absence. She seems to be high school aged.

Masters of Black

Fortner Info: A childhood friend of Silvania, Fortner departed the States to join the Association in Europe. According to his, and Silvania's, testimony, he is able to perceive otherwise invisible magecraft through visualizing its mana. He also lied about being a Master, for which he was knocked unconscious and taken back to Circe's island for a bit. His Command Seals were stripped and Silvania worked some kind of mind magic on him to take him to Ruler for safekeeping. With Silvania's death, Fortner is trapped in whatever enchantment she put on him, rendering him a few brainwaves off from vegetative.

Eron Hightower Servant: Archer of Black Info: A student at Wellston Boys Academy - or perhaps students. Eron has been killed at least twice already, but there always seem to be more of him around, including when two of him engaged Ivan and Assassin in combat. No one knows what his exact deal is.

Servants of Black

Archer of Black Spirit: Zhou Tong Info: Zhou Tong, once a hero in his own right, is more well known for mentoring and teaching a number of Chinese folk heroes, including Yue Fei, to whom he gave his favorite bows. He is a master of military history, tactics, and the eighteen weapons of war, but he is truly legendary as an archer. Zhou Tong has some skill in qigong and is commonly cited as the original source for a number of traditional martial arts styles in China. In modern times, Zhou Tong is a paragon of the wise master and the caring teacher, an old man devoted to helping children better themselves through martial tutelage.

Rider of Black Spirit: Jason Info: An ancient Greek hero, Jason is well-known as the leader of the Argonauts and the finder of the Golden Fleece. Often assisted by the gods themselves, Jason's journey is one of incidental heroism mired in debauchery. A notorious womanizer, he married the sorceress Medea, who had been cursed to fall in love with him, though he eventually betrayed her. Jason is an expert sailor and swordsman, but his hubris sets him apart from even the most arrogant of his contemporaries. The Golden Fleece is a symbol of authority, a token of divine kingship.

Caster of Black Spirit: ??? Info: Caster posed as the new librarian at Wellston Public Library. She seems to be Middle Eastern, though her exact identity is currently unknown.

Berserker of Black Spirit: ??? Info: An extremely large man clad in smoky armor and a tattered cloak, this unidentified Servant fights with more control than Achilles, but just as much strength.

Assassin of Black Spirit: ??? Info: A possibly Roman woman who is the source of the many masked dolls that have been keeping tabs on the Masters of Red. She has an apparent distaste for Russians and is connected to a certain dagger responsible for a calamitous death.
