Manannan mac Lir (Bazett)

The Celtic god of the sea, and a mage. Also said to be the ruler of the Otherworld.

The adoptive father of the sun god Lugh, he is also a god of giving, known for bestowing enchanted items upon many warriors, including Cú Chulainn and Diarmuid Ua Duibhne.

One of his most famous gifts is Fragarach, which has been passed down through the Fraga family to the present day.

Now, this sea god has materialized in our time as a Pseudo-Servant inhabiting the body of Bazett Fraga McRemitz, the latest descendant of the Fraga family. Bazett is a Seal Designation Enforcer for the Mage's Association, and she also seems to have (some) memories of a certain Holy Grail War...

The real Manannan mac Lir is a male god.

Manannan is the god of the sea in Celtic mythology, the ruler of the Otherworld, and a powerful mage to boot. He is also the adoptive father of Lugh the sun god, Cú Chulainn's father.

One legend says that Manannan had a fae wife named Fand who fell in love with Cú Chulainn and had an affair with him. After Fand and Cú Chulainn parted ways, it's said that Manannan forgave his wife, but also used his magic cloak to hide her away so she could never be stolen from him again.

Incidentally, when Chaldea's Cú Chulainn was asked about this matter, he only grimaced and said "...I don't remember anything about that."

Seal Designation Enforcer: A

A fighting style embedded deep in Bazett Fraga McRemitz's body that is meant to be used against mages. It refers to the overall level of ability she possesses to take down dangerous mages that the Association has selected for seal designation, and includes martial arts prowess, magecraft capability, and mental state.

Sea God's Runes: EX

Bazett's rune magecraft, which draws on Manannan's power. Although the Manannan who resides in her Servant Spirit Origin is a Divided Spirit, he is still a Divine being. While one would think this would let Bazett employ a wide array of normally unthinkable magecraft, as a vessel, she is too inept to do more with this power than using it to enhance the spells she was already capable of. However, this is not necessarily a bad thing. By focusing the sea god's vast power on ridiculously simple uses (like making her fists stronger), Bazett effectively trades versatility for incredible destructive force.

『Fragarach』

Rank: EX

NP Type: Counterattack

Range: 1 - 50

Maximum Targets: 1

The God of War's Sword of Devastation.

A dagger Manannan mac Lir bestowed upon Lugh the sun god. Also known as the "Sword of Reverse Light" and "Answerer (that which emerges last and cuts first)". As a Mystic Code optimized for counterattacks, it has a reverse-causality ability that enables it to always land before the opponent's attack. Although it is the same Noble Phantasm as the one that has been passed down from Carrier of the Gods to Carrier of the Gods in the Fraga family, Bazett is able to use it at a more fundamental level thanks to being the Pseudo-Servant vessel for Manannan, its original owner.

『Fragarach Aonbharr』

Rank: EX

NP Type: Counterattack

Range: 1 - 50

Maximum Targets: 1

The God of War's Sword of Freedom.

It took almost a month to create the Fragarach Bazett used as a Seal Designation Enforcer. But, as Fragarach's original owner, Manannan is able to quickly and easily create a variety of different Fragarachs for different purposes. This Noble Phantasm is built primarily on Manannan's nature as the god of the sea, and on her magical white steed Aonbharr, who is able to run freely on the surface of the ocean. Here, Manannan takes Aonbharr, her white horse said to be the embodiment of waves and foam, and transforms him into sea foam that she then molds into the Sword of Reverse Light. Essentially, this is a Fragarach that the sea god makes out of, well, foam.

Manannan wielded all sorts of magecraft, and was especially adept at transformations. It's said he would use this power to woo human women, and that he fathered many children as a result. He also possessed all manner of magical items, including Fragarach, a self-navigating boat called Sguaba Tuinne (Wave-Sweeper), a pig which resurrected after it was eaten, an apple branch that could put people to sleep, and a white steed that could run on both land and sea. According to myth, he often blessed brave warriors with items such as these. To Lugh, he gave Fragarach and the boat; to Cú Chulainn, he gave a magical helmet; and to Diarmuid Ua Duibhne, he gave a magical spear.

In general, Manannan loves humans as much as the sea that provides them with countless bounty. This is why, when he sensed the impending crisis facing humanity, he decided to materialize as a Servant in a compatible vessel: Bazett. He became an Alter Ego because Bazett possesses only a fraction of his true power and an isolated fragment of his consciousness.

In general, Manannan is still much the same being he was when he lent magical items to brave warriors. The only difference now is that instead of lending an item, he's lending a part of himself. While he was a bit surprised to find that his vessel was such an awkward woman, what's done is done. If all his vessel knows how to do is punch things, then this sea god will make sure she punches them as hard as she possibly can.
