Servant

True Name: Flavius Belisarius

Class: Rider

Master: Arron Wulf

Allignment: Neutral Good

Title: Tactician of Bryzantium

Catalyst: A jeweled cross owned by Belisarius in life.

Bio:

Belisarius was a tactician for the Byzantine Empire, who's accomplishments include taking Rome back from the barbarians. Time and time again, Belisarius found himself faced with low amounts of men, morale, and supplies, yet time and time again he pulled through. He defended Rome, despite being heavily outnumbered and outmaneuvered in the fighting.

He suppressed one of the largest riots the world has ever seen, slaughtering hte rebelling citizens by the hundreds. He defeated the Persians at the Battle of Dara, proving himself as a capable military commander. He was offered the chance to become the Western Roman Emperor, due to the respect that the barbarians held for him.

Yet, Belisarius chose to remain loyal to his emperor Justinian, who repeteadly abandoned Belisarius, and supplied with lackluster troops and equipment.

Stats:

Strength: C

Endurance: B

Luck: C+

Mana: C

Agility: A

Weapons: Spathion, compound bow.

Class Skills:

Riding: A - Riding is the representation of a Servant's ability to mount or control animals. A staple of the Riding class. The rank of A is enough to mount any phantasmal or divine beast, with the exception of dragons, which require a special skill.

Magic Resistance: C - Magic Resistance is the ability to completely cancel out the magic upon contact. The rank of C is considered optimal for close quarters, enough to block most short-term incantations and modern magic.

Personal Skills:

Battle Continuation: B - Battle Continuation is the ability to battle despite heavy amounts of injury. The rank of B is enough to shrug off heavy injuries, and requires for the battle to be ended decisively. (Such as piercing the brain.)

Indepedent Action: C - Indepedent Action is a skill rarely seen in a Rider Class Heroic Spirits. Whilst not completely unheard of, it is unorthodox to say the least. Belisarius gains this skill from the legend of him combatting enemies, despite little to no support from the Emperor of Eastern Rome. At C-rank, a servant can remain for a single day without a master.

Military Tactics: A++ - An incredibly high rank. Belisarius is renowned as some as the greatest tactician who ever lived. Despite receiving little to no support from his superiors, Belisarius won battle after battle in the quest to retake Rome. Military tactics is the ability to control an army, which is useful considering Belisarius' Noble Phantasm.

Horse Archer: A - Horse Archery represents a servant's skill on horseback using the bow. Belisarius himself led a personal squad of Bryzantine's finest horse archers, and was known to be an excellent shot with the bow. Belisarius' aim is barely affected by quick movements on a horse.

Noble Phantasms:

Bow of Victory:

C- Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm

A bow which Belisarius used in life. The bow is taken from a famed story of Belisarius, in where he killed three enemy horsemen before the battle, to the applaud and happiness of his troops. This Noble Phantasm serves two purposes: To first mark opponents for his troops to target, and secondly to actually combat opponents from horseback. The effect itself is rather weak. The bow fires out a singular arrow, which will home towards the opponent. Should the arrow land, the next two arrows from the bow are guaranteed to land as well.

Armies of East Rome:

A+ Anti-Army Noble Phantasm

A summoning Noble Phantasm. Unlike most Phantasms of this sort, Belisarius' is actually rather weak. Instead of summoning fellow Heroic Spirits, this Noble Phantasm will summon up squadrons of golems, given life via magecraft. Each of these golems are equipped with a bow and a sword. With a well-trained Magus at max-capacity, Belisarius can control up to 100 golems at the same time. These golems are barely dangerous individually, but can pose a threat as a unit.

Walls of Rome:

E~A+ Barrier Noble Phantasm

A Noble Phantasm that allows Belisarius to control ruins beneath a city. This Noble Phantasm can change drastically in strength depending on the area of the world. He can use this Noble Phantasm to pull up destroyed building, using them to form obstacles. Predictably, this is most effective within an ancient city.

Steed of Belisarius:

D+ Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm

The horse that Belisarius used in life. Beyond being faster than almost any Heroic Spirit can match on foot, the horse itself has little to no combat potential on its own.

Personality: Belisarius' personality can change at the drop of the coin. It can be anything from joyous, to downright stoical depending on the situation. This is best seen at the Siege of Rome, in where he began to laugh upon seeing an opening in the enemy formation.
