Gudao’s cousin is often considered Vanguard’s most lazy soldier, but that’s often used sarcastically. Though he’s often found lazing around and relaxing when he can, on duty he’s a strict, careful, and very active member of the unit. It’s in part because he follows his family’s long line of US military service which dates back well before the American Revolution.
His servant can’t even find fault in his motivation when he’s on the clock.
Not much is known how he became Arturia Alter’s master, but she’s taken a shine to him. At least enough that she hasn’t killed him, but rather has an unusually abrasive yet accepting friendship. His steadfast determination when it comes to his goal likely plays a part.
Like the rest of Vanguard, he’s currently stationed in Chaldea where he helps Sergei ensure the soldiers aren’t causing the residents any trouble.

Sergei is a towering behemoth of a soldier that many find completely intimidating at first sight, but he has a heart that can warm a Russian winter. He’s very friendly and jovial to his comrades, and does what he can to ensure the unit’s wellbeing. He’s known to be extremely ruthless and unforgiving towards traitors and his enemies alike.
Like the rest of Vanguard, he’s currently stationed in Chaldea where he helps Skyler ensure the soldiers aren’t causing the residents any trouble. He also acts as one of the official UN adviser for Chaldea’s leyshift operations, making sure they don’t do anything against their mission or a strict code of ethics.

Pritchard is a former decorated British Brigadier with experience from multiple conflicts, including, but not limited to, Kosovo, Desert Fox, and the Iraq War. Those under his leadership were inspired by his stark control during critical situations. He was also very well known for taking well-calculated risks due to his belief in his men and his insistence on excessively detailed reconnaissance for planning. These attributes were the primary reason he was chosen as the Commander for Task Force Vigilance.
After receiving the reins from his predecessor, Pritchard worked tirelessly to try and make the Vigil a powerful force of deterrence for the United Nations. It was only when Marisbilly, who felt their organizations may benefit from each other, offered aid that things began to turn around. Upon the surprise reception of command seals and subsequent summoning of Edison, he was finally able to achieve what he desired. There are growing rumors Pritchard’s commitment to his task of peacekeeping has placed him under consideration for Knighthood by Queen Elizabeth II.

Though Anishka was born into a prestigious Indian magus line, she was raised differently from traditional magus thinking at the Clock Tower. Every day involved practicing their magecraft, religious traditions, and learning how to properly help others. Though her life was already planned since her birth, she didn’t dislike it. Rather, her mother was excited Anishka was so genuinely excited to continue the family’s tradition of Altruistic healing and become a doctor.
The big families there barely gave her family any notable credibility due to the perceived ‘heresy’ of their magecraft applications. To the public, they were seen as miracle healers who cleansed the injuries of all who visited their temple. In truth, they were just a long-standing magus lineage of the Brahmin Caste that have barely shifted their practice since two millenia ago.
She had very few problems growing up due to her beauty, kindness, and grace, but she was troubled in her love life. She couldn’t understand what was wrong with her when she wasn’t feeling any powerful emotions for those she dated. It was only when she went for schooling in the United States did she inevitably experiment and found her heart yearned for women. It troubled her to no end because of how homosexuals were seen in India, and she hid it from everyone. It became an ever-growing regret and secret she still hides from all.
Anishka was brought to Chaldea after her graduation. She worked with her father in the Medical Bay under Doctor Roman until the Fuyuki Incident. Since then, though traumatized for a month, she was reassigned to Leyshift staff. She helped there until the search for another Master of Chaldea began, and they found she was qualified with 100% Leyshift Compatibility. Since then, she’s become known as the kindest, sweetest Master of Chaldea with the highest-grade supporting abilities.
Even if she’s well-accepted, her greatest boon is her problem. Anishka is far too respectful, and is often a doormat that doesn’t know how to say no. Her orders often feel more like hopeful requests than actual orders. Rama, Arjuna, Karna, and Sita wind up having to back her up on her orders at times with more prideful and questioning servants. Due to the nature of most of her magecraft, she’s also completely incapable of defending herself, though the tradeoff is healing capabilities on par with some servants.

Gabrielle moved to Florida at an early age and became quick friends with the timid neighbor, Gudao Fujimaru. Though their parents were initial worried and distrusting of the other family, their bond connected the two families in a strong, everlasting alliance. Their parents would even joke they’ve become one family, and that their kids are destined to marry each other someday.
As someone who wore every emotion on her sleeve like a badge, Gabrielle acts on her intuition and desire to set things right. She cares deeply for those she loves, and she staunchly defended and helped Gudao in their early years. Her spitfire nature had a tendency to bring her into drama, but she still remained one of their school’s most popular girls because of her loyalty. The teachers didn’t appreciate her willingness to literally fight for those she cared for though.
Her magus family line is promising, though still fledgling. Her Magic Crest was inherited from her father, and contains her family’s current expertise on manipulating fire without causing damage to oneself. She adapted it further by using it to enhance her chosen fighting style: Close Combat through reinforcement and elemental attunement. It’s high risk, and many classmate mages at the Clock Tower scoffed at the ridiculousness… until they got hit with it the self-defense classes.
Though she qualified as a Master Candidate, she was only accepted into Chaldea as a temporary Magus Employee for the summer. She still came to watch over Gudao and ensure he was fine around the “elitists.” She wound up becoming Chaldea’s 49th Master after Gudao finally stopped trying to shoulder everything.
Her forward attitude and willingness to do what’s necessary to set things right in her eyes has caused friction on several occasions. All the servants are wary how stubborn and seemingly reckless she can be, but no one doubts she’s willing to do what it takes to get the job done. They’re also aware her actions mean well, even if the outcomes aren’t exactly what anyone was expecting. Though universally accepted, she’s the polarizing wild card of the Chaldean masters.

Gudao moved to Florida at an early age and became quick friends with the neighbor, Gabrielle Rutherford. Though their parents were initial worried and distrusting of the other family, their bond connected the two families in a strong, everlasting alliance. Their parents would even joke they’ve become one family, and that their kids are destined to marry each other someday.
Gudao grew up introverted and constantly bullied, but Gabrielle helped him improve. He became one of the popular kids in High School, where he understood what it was like to be left out and bullied. His social skills were sharpened, and he was famed for his silver tongue that could diffuse tense standoffs and broker unexpected bridges between people. He wasn’t sure what he wanted to do for a living, so he wound up following Gabrielle to London to improve his Magecraft while he considered his options.
His Magus family lineage is new, yet holds some promise. Though his mother’s Magecraft lineage is fresh, Gudao father comes from a long-standing tradition of US Military service that stretches back decades before the American Revolutionary War of 1776. If he couldn’t figure out what he wanted to do, it was likely his father would try to convince him to enlist or join a campus’ Reserve Officers Training Corps Program.
He wound up getting accepted as the 48th Chaldean Master instead. He is now well known for his negotiation skills, and his attempts to try and spend quality time with all servants regardless of their disposition to him. He’s the most universally respected master in Chaldea because of it. Servants generally have no issue with him except for the fact he’s too permissible and lenient for his own good. In his attempt not to be invasive or overbearing, he also tries not to get too involved with personal affairs between servants unless it becomes a serious issue.
It is well known that Gudao, despite his element of Earth, has an avid appreciation of flight which he adopted from his father. Any strategy he comes up with will inevitably pivot on the reliance of air support in some way. Regardless, all his plans are founded on the overall safety of the servants, and he’s less willing to take risks if it puts anyone in serious danger. That won’t stop him from measuring the cost and gain of smaller risks though.

The most physically fit regular human in Chaldea, and Supervisor of the Furniture Department. She became very self-conscious of her body due to being overweight in her childhood; This was a point of miscommunication between her and Gabrielle. Regardless of her current physical fitness, jokes or misheard comments about her body are taken very seriously to the point she holds grudges.
She is very hard working but mostly reserved until she’s allowed to show off her favorite hobby/activity: Martial Arts. She has a habit of getting way too into it though, since it’s one of the few things where she doesn’t have lingering self confidence issues. With help from others, she’s finally gaining control over her usually flashfire temperament and confidence issues.
After her spectacular run with the grail during the final confrontation against Goetia, her self-esteem skyrocketed. She’d been receiving training sessions from her closest friends ever since to try and reach new heights of physical fitness. She’s also partially become an adrenaline junky who seeks exhilarating fights to show off her newfound prowess.

As a prototype from Babbage and Da Vinci’s curiosity, Rena was often left alone on a shelf. After it came came to life of its own accord, it hid in Serenity’s room where it quickly bonded with the sad assassin. They became absolute friends, keeping each other company as the robot’s life-like personality programming began to bloom.
With Da Vinci’s permission, Rena was reprogrammed and refitted to become Serenity’s ideal assistant. She holds the only antidote for Serenity’s poison which is administered by a dart gun embedded in her chassis. Inseparable, both as friends and by need, the robot’s goal and desire is to learn as much as it can about living a life while enjoying the company it keeps.
She’s been receiving a few upgrades over the course of her operational span. Despite rumors of the Vigil having experimental androids, she prefers her “cute, tiny body that Serenity can hug and carry easily.” Thanks to their closeness, the other Hassans have become very fond of the little robot who loves teasing Tyler.

| Bond 7 | Astolfo, Mordred, Jekyll |
| Bond 6 | David, Lord El-Melloi II |
| OCs | Tyler, Rena |
Originally one of the most reclusive employees in Chaldea, Anton’s primary pursuit was understanding. As a sheltered child with a parent-forced career path and a bionic replacement leg, he had a tendency to be very socially awkward and an outcast. This hardly changed through his schooling, and eventual run-away status. As an employee in Chaldea that survived Fuyuki, he was considered a strange case, though he was a genius.
He made very few friends, but his first few outside of Tyler were by accident. His thirst for understanding and hobby of quietly reading introduced him to one of his closest friends, Frankenstein, who would later become his significant other. With their help, he grew more confident and socially capable to become a respected employee among the Chaldea Staff. His tendency to stutter still remains when nervous, but when he’s not working, he’s trying hard to build himself a regular life and find new hobbies.
During the final confrontation with Goetia, he used his computer expertise to try and save his fellow employees, which was largely successful. Though he played off his heroics, it helped earn him his new position as the Leyshift Supervisor to assist with deployment operations. Thanks to his fiance’s Mad Enhancement adjustment, he’s looked after by her in the control room as one of the dedicated guards.

Tyler is the most laidback employee in Chaldea, and everyone knows it. His consideration and openness for anyone often wins him new friends easily. He’s more than happy to help out where he can, especially when it involves his friends like his coworker Anton. When he’s not working, he’s almost always found playing video games.
He earned a friendly rivalry with Lord El-Melloi II. Their gaming group slowly grew to expand more servants with the help of Tyler’s welcoming and friendly personality. Even after being placed under Da Vinci’s direct supervision with Anton, not much has changed. He remains a stable anchor that allows several servants to wind down when talking to him.
During the final confrontation with Goetia, Tyler lose his leg in an attack by Lev. He survived the conflict and was given a prosthetic designed by Da Vinci, and his bright attitude didn’t break. The ordeal finally pushed him and Serenity closer together. Content with life, he still has the same engineering job, but has also become the unofficial manager of the Arcade.
