The great hero of the Mahabharata, an epic, ancient Indian poem.

Region: India
Alignment: Lawful-Good

Profile 2
Karna was born of Kunti, a human girl, and Surya, the God of Sun.
After Karna's birth, he was abandoned by his mother Kunti.
He was then adopted by a coachman, and raised as the man's own son.
However, Karna's potential and heroism could not remain hidden.
Profile 3
After Kunti abandoned Karna, she gave birth to the five brothers of the royal Pandu family.
The third brother, Arjuna, would grow up to be Karna's rival.
Karna was later adopted into the Kuru family, the rival of the Pandu family.
Profile 4
There were many curses and obstacles that Karna had to face before battling Arjuna.
Cursed by a Brahmin.
Deceived by Indra.
And by his mother's wish, he could not fight anyone other than Arjuna.
He accepted it all.
Profile 5
According to the legend, Karna gave his golden armor to Indra.
In exchange for giving up and dismantling his armor, Karna received a lance powerful enough to slay even gods.
It is said this lance of light cannot be wielded by even the King of Gods.
When this lance is clad with crimson blood, one strike, just one strike, is said to be able to cleanse all impurities.
--Vasavi Shakti.
Additional profile
Karna accepts everything as "it happens," and is a Servant who's extremely generous.
He treats everyone equally, and respects everyone equally.
Although it was never publicly acknowledged due to prejudice, Karna's caliber as a martial artist and dignity as a person can be ranked one of the highest amongst all Servants.
Although it's quite impossible, if you are in a contract with this Servant and still can't win, then either you are not fit for combat, or you have issues handling elites.

- Bond Level 1
- What? Do those actions mean something?
- Bond Level 2
- I hate to say it, but this is boring. ...No, I'm sorry. It's my fault, not yours.
- Bond Level 3
- You're a pretty eccentric Master, you know that? ...No, don't worry about it. I've never found your commands to be inadequate. Use me as you please.
- Bond Level 4
- Did something happen? I hope it's a stress I can help you with... So, do you have any worries that I can take care of?
- Bond Level 5
- Once a certain Master told me that my problem isn't that I say too much, but rather that I say too little. Since then I've been trying to do something about that but... Do you think it's working? I see... I see.
- Conversation 1
- Master, even lazing around doing nothing has its limits.
- Conversation 2
- If you give me an order, I will obey it.
- Conversation 3
- It is thanks to your magical power that we are able to live.
- Likes
- What do I like? Friendship, hard work, harmony. Those are all wonderful things. Don't you think so?
- Dislikes
- I wouldn't say I hate it, but... I'm not very good at what people call "communication." Can people really understand each other with just words?
- About the Holy Grail
- I'm not interested in the Holy Grail, but if you want it, that's a different story.
- Conversation 4
- ...Standing shoulder to shoulder with that man? While promising, it also invites inevitable conflict. This is the first time I've ever felt this way. In any case, this is the ideal my mother wished for. I'll try it out, for now.
- Conversation 5
- The golden man, huh? His arrogance never falters, and he never doubts his decisions. I may not care for him, but I certainly must concede that he is a true king. Surely he must have ruled over a strong nation with stalwart citizens. I'm a bit jealous about that.
- Conversation 6
- I would never have crossed paths with Ganesha...but I have some strange affinity for this Ganesha in Chaldea. She's like an older sister who is something of a handful...or a friend I can't just leave alone...someone very dear to me... Heh. If so, that would make me happy.
- Conversation 7
- Aśvatthāman, huh? A man to be feared on the battlefield, as he is always coolheaded no matter the circumstance. Huh? He looks annoyed? I'm sure that's just his fighting spirit overflowing. My hope is that I might focus my strength and passion into my weapon with an intensity to match his.
- Conversation 8
- An Arjuna who does not tolerate any kind of evil... He was always quite uncompromising, but that seems to have come out all the more in this version of him. At the same time, he used to at least understand the value of moderation... Hmm. I wonder what he will consider to be evil now that he has come here to serve you, Master. I will continue to monitor the situation. As will my spear.
- Conversation 9
- Duryodhana. Your intentions and actions were without falsehood. You harbored a strong will and directed it to fulfilling your purpose. You are most ambitious, yet you have a big enough heart to accept anyone. ...Well, there may have been exceptions, but that's the long and short of you. And now I have the opportunity to fight alongside you. Heh...this is going to be interesting.
- Conversation 10
- After Arjuna, I never imagined you would be here too, Bhīma. Seeing you makes my body quiver...like I am aching for something... What a strange feeling. Strange, indeed.
- During an Event
- Seems like something's happening. Can you see?
- Birthday

- About Spiritron Dress Robe of the Fiery Three Gods
- My appearance may have changed, but that's not important. My burning will to fight is the true essence making up this robe. ...After all, the robe was given a task, and it bears a different kind of weight. Hm? What should we call it? Heh. There's no need to agonize over a name. Ganesha has already supplied one. Feel free to call this form "Super Karna."

- About Spiritron Dress Karna, Summer Style
- It's rare for me to visit a foreign land for pleasure rather than battle. To be honest, it doesn't suit me at all. Look. My center of gravity in my toes is as light as a butterfly, and without a spear to grasp, my fingers are as restless as a dog before a walk. Even my heart is more fidgety than usual. I swear... I'm not usually one to tremble with excitement.
