Character details

With a dislike of decorations and honor, this spearman prefers to listen to his instincts.

If it's a job, he won't hesitate to kill even an ordinary citizen.

Though he can be merciless outside of the job, he's honorable and takes care of others.

Height/Weight: 185cm, 72kg

Source: Celtic Mythology, Ulster Cycle

Region: Ireland

Alignment: Lawful-Balanced

Sub-Attribute: Heaven

Gender: Male

It was too much trouble to use the Runes, so he sealed them away.

Profile 2

『Gáe Bolg』

Rank: B

NP Type: Anti-Personnel

Barbed Spear that Pierces with Death.

The cursed spear that always pierces the target's heart.

The secret is that this spear is able to reverse cause and effect, so that the spear is thrust AFTER it already pierces the target's heart.

Because of such, this spear is said to be impossible to dodge.

Profile 3

Battle Continuation: A

Doesn't know when to give up. He makes it possible to fight even with critical wounds, and survives unless given a fatal blow.

Disengage: C

The ability to escape from battle.

Because of these two skills, Cú Chulainn's

true value shines in group skirmishes over one-on-one duels. But he loves duels, so this fact doesn't get noticed all too much.

Profile 4

Runes: B

He possesses Northern European magical crests called Runes.

Warriors in the Land of Shadows excel at many arts, and no warrior is ever raised to merely thrust a spear...

This is the way his mentor Scáthach thought, so Cú Chulainn is well-versed in Rune spells.

He is close to being a top tier rune user but he thinks the Runes just get in the way, so he does not use them often.

Profile 5

As a child, he grew up with the name Sétanta.

Cú Chulainn means "the Hound of Culann."

When he was young, Sétanta accidentally killed the watchdog of a wealthy merchant named Culann.

The name stems from the vow he made to the merchant:

"If this dog has a child, I will raise it, and turn it into a faithful watchdog.

Until then, I will make sure to protect you."

Additional profile

As an adult, Cú Chulainn joined the "Red Branch Knights" who protected the King of Ulster.

In order for him to marry the woman he loved, he was tasked to enter a place called the Land of Shadows.

Cú Chulainn overcame many obstacles to reach the Land of Shadows.

There the lord of the land, the witch Scáthach, took a fancy to him.

He trained under her to learn many spells and martial arts skills.

Your birthday? Come on, tell me that sooner! I'll hunt for a boar right now!
During an Event
Hey, looks like some idiot just attacked us. Want to go punish them a little?
Conversation 1
Ahh, this is boring. Let's go fight, Master!
Conversation 2
Hmm? I'll follow your orders, Master. That's the Ulster way of doing things.
Conversation 3
Good fights and good spoils. If I get a good Master as well... As a guard dog I couldn't ask for more.
Likes
My likes? You mean, like, unreasonable demands and strong willed women? Well, neither of them are what they're cracked up to be.
Dislikes
I'll be clear about what I don't like. If I'm betrayed, I'll get payback. Tedious things don't suit me.
About the Holy Grail
The Holy Grail, huh... Well, I wonder what I'd use it for... Ah well, I'll figure it out after we get it.
Bond Level 1
Have we met before? This doesn't feel like the first time... Ah, well, nice to meet ya!
Bond Level 2
The rules and scope of the Grail War are different depending where it takes place. It's going to be a huge one this time, too.
Bond Level 3
Geis is an oath for Celtic warriors. The more you have, the more accomplished a warrior you become... But usually, it's just harassment from those who're jealous, envious, and begrudging! Aha ha!
Bond Level 4
There were 3... No, 4 women. There was my mentor, a princess, the goddess of death, and the queen of an enemy nation. I couldn't keep all my promises to them. So this time I hope I can be more dependable.
Bond Level 5
We've been together for some time now. I may be the veteran here, but if I can help, I'll give it all I've got. Man, this is kinda embarrassing! What I'm trying to say is I'm counting on you, Master!
Conversation 4
So, that bastard is here too. I'm talking about that Archer in red. No matter where I'm summoned I see his face. It's starting to feel like fate? Ugh, I hate it.
Conversation 5
Many thanks, Master. With Fergus here, our strength has gone up big time! Now, if my mentor were here, we would be unstoppable!
Conversation 6
Hey Master, Scáthach was my mentor, but... What is with this? Isn't she stronger than when she was in the castle? I mean, she's dual wielding Gáe Bolg! What's the point of me being here?
