They see False Rider under a tree and are frightened despite Tsubaki assuring them that Mr. Tsubaki greets Sigma and False Assassin and introduces them to her friend Mr. Pale Rider kills three of Alcides' Diomedes. Eventually, on Jester's signal, False Rider draws everyone at the battle into the dream world. Ī number of other parties in the war also find out about Tsubaki being Rider's Master, with many of them arriving to fight outside her hospital. However, after detecting his immense aura of death, they decide to retreat. įlat Escardos and Jack the Ripper arrive at the hospital searching for False Rider. This causes Tsubaki to send Rider to "save" the endangered people, with Rider infecting them and taking them to the dream world. Jester informs Tsubaki of the battle between True Berserker and True Archer, and their Masters, that is putting the people in the area in danger. Jester Karture, a Dead Apostle who is the Master of False Assassin, later arrives in Tsubaki's dream, being accepted by her and, by extension, Rider. At one point, Rider seized a number of veterinary hospitals in Snowfield in order to provide Tsubaki with animals to play with. Day 1 Īs the war gradually progresses, Rider finds and infects more and more victims for Tsubaki. Archer also decides to look for the opportunity to take out Rider later, so he won't interfere anymore. Because of this, Lancer and Archer stop their battle, though they wish to continue on later, without interruption. False Lancer senses Rider approaching and also notices his nature as a curse of death, which would be especially harmful to them. Black".ĭuring the battle between False Archer and False Lancer, Rider goes to stop the battle, as it was scaring Tsubaki. Though she smiles at "him" and thanks "him", "he" merely continues to exist without even giving a nod in reply. After she introduces herself, "he" takes her parents into the dream world, "dancing" together to forget her abuse and grant her desires. Despite "his" nature, she is not scared of "him" because she will no longer be alone. Rider is summoned by Tsubaki inadvertently after she gains Command Spells in the real world and invokes the summoning ritual in her dream world with her desperate pleas for her parents not to leave her alone. It speaks with a grating sound like the "scraping noise of swarms of insects battling one another" and it's words are dread incarnate. It is akin to a robot created without emotions or internal monologue, a mere formless mass of awareness and knowledge about the Holy Grail War. It does not understand human emotion, and it only acts for Tsubaki Kuruoka and it's own instincts. Pale Rider is not based on a hero, or even a human, so it lacks a persona and was only given knowledge by the system of the Holy Grail War. Pale Rider appears as a black cloud, a vague form with no particular shape. Given a physical presence despite not being a Heroic Spirit, it continues to exist in that moment to take the lives of those on the planet to provide itself nourishment for life to begin anew. Called a horseman who has brought calamity to all, it is that which "let loose" the Black Death that killed thirty million people and came "under the name" of Spanish Influenza that killed fifty million people. It has lived a shorter life than anyone, and yet has lived a longer life than anyone. Some regions have called it a "curse", and some religions have denoted it to be "divine punishment." It is "disease", that which has existed since time immemorial and that which will continue to exist far into the future. Far from a "hero", it cannot even be called a Villainous Spirit or Demonic Spirit. Differing from those called Heroic Spirits, he is only one in name. Pale Rider is the embodiment of pestilence given form by the False Holy Grail. In conclusion, "he" was a being as foreign as could be. Whilst Pale Rider is named after one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse WP, Pale Rider summoned in the False Holy Grail War is a completely different being from the Pale Rider described in the Book of Revelation WP.
