Keywords
Unlimited Blade Works: Universe of Endless Blades
This Noble Phantasm is not directly wielded as a weapon. Rather, it is a powerful reality marble that focuses one's inner being and projects it onto the real world. The reality that this particular skill creates is that of a magus who devoted their life to mastering the art of the sword, and makes available to the user every sword-type weapon ever encountered by that magus in their lifetime.
Kansho and Bakuya
A set of matched swords favored by Archer. Although extremely lethal, their mystical aspects make them useful for ceremonial and divination rituals. They are thought to have been created in the Spring and Autumn period of Chinese history by the master smith Gan Jiang.
Hero of Black Metal
This is the title given to the one who in a previous life was involved in the development and manufacture of many different types of weaponry. It hints at the fact that in his previous life, this Archer was more of a craftsman than a warrior.
Skills
Anti-Magic [D]
Cancels single-action spells. It also bestows magical resistance equal to that normally provided by a physical talisman such as an amulet.
Independence [C]
This ability allows him to remain independent by rejecting any kind of support from his Master. When this skill reaches rank C, he can remain in the world for a single day without establishing a contract with a Master.
False Insight [B]
Bestows a heightened sense of awareness honed and refined through experience. Makes one capable of making calm and rational decisions on the field of battle regardless of surrounding dangers.
Details
Character Background
A hero without a name.
A fictional Legendary Soul.
A fake.
The remnants of a person who spent his human life in the pursuit of justice. While the man who spawned this Legendary Soul was once a real, living being, the slow passage of time has completely erased his entire existence from the records of human history.
The weapons he uses in battle are not technically real, but are created using the thaumaturgy technique known as Projection. All of the weapons at his disposal are simply manifestations of those he sees in his mind's eye and then materializes in the real world.
"Ally of Justice"
In his mortal life, Archer was a magus who barely deserved the title, although he was a Master in a previous Holy Grail War. While not even remotely in the same league as Rin Tohsaka, he did possess Magic Circuits capable of a single function.
While many people prate about justice and equality, he actually went out of his way to be an "Ally of Justice", often at the expense of his own freedom. When faced with a potential disaster that was beyond his power to prevent, he willingly sold his soul to the Moon Cell in return for a miracle. Now, instead of playing the part of the hero, he willingly plays that of a Servant instead.
As for the human he once was, no traces of that person exist. Instead, he is now the personification of what most people would imagine one who holds the title "Ally of Justice" to be.
