He was the child of Cronus, Zeus's father, and the island goddess Philyra.

The Titan Cronus took the form of a horse and lay with Philyra, who gave birth to Chiron, a half-man, half-equine centaur. Philyra was disgusted by her son's monstrous form and refused to nurse him, and was transformed into a linden tree.

Though he never had his parents' love, Chiron became a great sage, mastering many academic disciplines. That his mother, Philyra, and the linden tree share a name in Greek is no coincidence, as linden tree flowers are used as a stimulant, and its bark is often used for fortune-telling and signboards.

At the request of many throughout Greece, the adult Chiron took on the job of educating and training future heroes. Among those he educated were the great heroes Heracles and Achilles, Asclepius the god of medicine, as well as Castor, who later became the constellation Gemini. Jason, the leader of the Argonauts, also trained under Chiron.

Though, according to Jason, "When you get to be as awesome as me, such simple lessons are like nails on a chalkboard! I would've preferred to be taught how to deal with annoying women whenever I stumble across them!"

Eternal Dedication: EX

A skill derived from the legend in which Chiron became the constellation Sagittarius after offering up his immortality. By transforming into a collection of stars, he becomes the one who protects people from the scorpion of the heavens.

Wisdom of Divine Gift: A+

Various wisdom bestowed upon the sage by the Greek gods.

Other than special skills exclusive to other heroes, he is able to use almost any skill at an A-B proficiency level. So long as he has his Master's permission, this skill may be granted to other Servants. During a different Holy Grail War, he would only be able to use this skill on himself, but he is ready and eager to use it for Chaldea now!

『Antares Snipe』

Range: 5-99

Maximum Targets: 1

A Single Shot at the Celestial Scorpion.

A manifestation of the story of Chiron as Sagittarius poised to attack the scorpion in the heavens. This Noble Phantasm, the ultimate shot for which all bowmen eternally strive, can pierce even a star. This shot can be used the moment its True Name is revealed, and it is no mere arrow, but a shooting star that streaks across the sky.

Even Achilles, known to be a fast runner, could not evade this Noble Phantasm.

The sole drawback is that it can be used only once each night. However, if it's used correctly at the right time, it is certain to hit its mark.

Chiron, one of the prominent great sages of Greek myth, was hit by an arrow coated in a hydra's venom. In order to escape from the pain, Chiron surrendered his immortality, which was the sole proof of his godly status. The Greek gods were saddened by Chiron's death and raised him up to the heavens to became a constellation. However, the Chiron summoned here regrets that he gave up his immortality, and wishes to regain it. He desires this not to become a god once again, nor because he wishes to live forever, but rather to reclaim the one thing he inherited from his parents.

One of the best Servants one could ever hope to summon during a Holy Grail War. Though he may consume more magical energy than average, the incredible versatility his Wisdom of Divine Gift gives him is absolutely unrivaled.

He remains unflappably calm and polite when dealing with the youngest and most immature Masters, and while he is happy to offer advice, he never goes against his Master's wishes.

Even in his second life, he is both a stalwart teacher, and a student of everything that life has to offer.
