Personality: Kaldera is a bit of a loud mouth, always wanting to talk and build up his ego, he likes to joke around and is often smoking a joint and usually gets high before a fight begins. He believes that it relaxes his body to make weird movements and able to attack at angles that would not be normal as well as heightens his senses. When it comes to fighting he is completely focused, merciless and deadly, while he fights he often taunts his opponents wanting them to make a mistake based on their anger. He loves sweets, especially hard sugar candies that require some time to eat. Teamed up with lancer he often asks to be trained by him as well and shares the love of battle. He understands that he can be killed during the Holy Grail War but has accepted that as fate and continues to fight.
Biography: Kaldera was born of a mother from Okinawa, Japan and a father from Beijing, China. Both of them were magus', their marriage was an arranged one, combining two magus families into one in order to produce a child that would hopefully be strong enough to participate and win the Holy Grail War. Kaldera might have been the first born but he wasn't the only one, he had two other brothers and a sister. They wanted to make sure that at least one of their children were gifted with the magical circuits. Kaldera and the second born kid were born with the circuits, the other two were not, the ones that were not connected were able to live normal lives. To be the faces of his families legacy, while he and his one brother were plunged into the depths of their home and the underground, never to be seen in public or known of.
Kaldera first released his circuits when he was 4 years old, his parents were overjoyed and began his training. His parents were both each skilled in a different art, his father was a elemental mage specializing in the earth and his mother was a mage that specialized in witchcraft using potions and curses to make her strong and her enemies weak.
As he trained with both his parents he learned many different skills that would make him a unique fighter. He became well trained in the earth element, how to be strong from it, to use the mana from the ground and make his feet act like roots, absorbing the energy around him like a tree in the forest so that he could perform stronger spells if need be, he also learned how to manipulate the earth and how to use certain elements, especially metals that would aid in his fighting. He even made the skill stronger by using two long bladed chains as weapons, it would allow him to make direct contact with his opponents and use his earth magic to sink into the person's skin and begin doing internal damage to the person as well as the magical circuits that were within them.
His mother being a witch was less entertaining at first, often reading books about herbs and plants, their properties, but it was when he learned what they could do. He learned that some are toxins that can make the human weak, dazed, sick, sleepy, love struck while also creating remedies for his own ailments, healing injuries as well as enhancing oneself by increasing strength, speed, durability if done correctly. She also had a secret technique that she would teach him if he put effort into this skill. So he did and actually learned from her and finding what he could make quite amazing. He was soon able to make some toxins/poisons as well as minor healing and remedy potions.
When he learned what he could from his mother she kept her promise and taught him a secret technique that her family had designed using a curse by having his chains act as a medium, he can use an incantation while they are contained in his chains and release his opponents Od and focus it with the mana surrounding them to the point where it can be focused in front of Kaldera's palm and released as a focused energy beam causing severe harm, even death, depending on the amount of time he can spare to keep the incantation going to collect more Od and mana. She says that it is a form of magic called Formalcraft and is what lesser mages use to harness mana instead of relying on their own Od, the difference with theirs is that the power and speed to use it is enhanced by the fact that he is releasing and harnessing ones own Od and mana to use against them. With what might take a hours to conjure he can do in minutes.
Through all of this something bothered him, and that thing was his brother, who also was a magus but was never trained with him, he was trained separately. Kaldera would ask his parents about what they were doing and they would respond by telling him that they wanted to see what what skills grew differently between his brother and himself to make their abilities unique, that his brother was given secrets about his fathers skills in earth magic. So he thought nothing of it and continued his training without much more inquiring, it was not a competition to him and it only made him work harder.
The next part was his physical training in the art of physical combat, learning the chinese fighting style of Wushu to allow smooth defensive movements and calming of the body through breathing techniques as well as use of formidable strikes to subdue his opponent, he also was taught the Indian martial art Marma Arti (hitting the vital spots) which if a master were to use could kill or paralyze a person by hitting one of the 108 vital nerve points, Kaldera had only learned enough to distrupt and temprorily disable someone, but combined with his skills with the chains and his earth element magic he has learned to be just as deadly.
He was mentally trained as well, to enjoy combat, to ignore pain as well as focusing on his senses and to trust his instincts. He would often be placed in sparring matches at this stage of his training and his parents would praise him when he won and shunned him when he lost. It made him train harder, became more arrogant, his skin became hard, his bones and muscles strong, his will became strong as well and with each fight becoming easier he became more cocky and developed a taunting attitude when fighting, but most importantly to his parents, it made him become accustomed to violence and was taught that combat should end in the death of one of the combatants. That it was the truest form of combat.
This type of training would continue if not get more and more difficult, where he fought older, more experienced people either in the art of magic or in the art of hand to hand combat and was placed at disadvatages all the time and would often enough have to fight to the death.
This went on until he reached the age of 27 where he would meet his final test, he had to fight a man in a mysterious costume that covered his face, only showing his eyes. Kaldera's parents told the two that this was their final test, that they were the two greatest warriors of their families and that they would need to fight each other to the death in order to find out who would be the chosen one for the Holy Grail War and be able to take on the ritual in order to summon a servant.
Kaldera took the challenge with a smile on his face, finally all his training would show that it had paid off in this moment and would be able to attain a servant, a high honour. His opponent was quick to strike, a water mage, keeping Kaldera at a distance, he used his chains to block off the minor spell attacks and worked his way closer to his opponent, only to find that the man was also skilled in hand to hand combat. The fighting would continue on for hours as neither one showed signs of stopping, it was until Kaldera was able to get his chains to hit two vital points by the neck and made his chains wrap around the man and began to use his earth magic to spread his chains into the mans body and cut his magic connectors. As the metal did it's work he proceeded to walk up to the man now on his knees and began his incantation, he pulled the mask off the man. It was his brother! He began to cry out to Kaldera, begging for his life, Kaldera frowned and became angry, why beg for mercy? That was not what they were raised to become, he felt that his brother had lost his way and granted him freedom, in the form of death by grabbing his brothers head, pushing it forward with his left hand, watching and feeling his brothers Od leak from his body and began focusing into his right palm, he then continued his incantation, his brother screaming at this point but it would not help him, he gathered the mana around him and focused all the energy to his right palm and when he felt that it was right he struck hard into the back of his brothers head, energy pierced through the skull and blasted his brains all over the floor. He had won! His parents hugged him for the first time, he had never felt such joy.
He was then given something that was called a catalyst that would be used in order to summon a servant, it was a portion of fine gray hair wrapped and sealed in a box. He was told that this hair belonged to one of the greatest warriors of China (he was given the name of the man but told never to reveal it to anyone) whose hair was shaved from his head after his murder and finally acquired after a long hunt from his father. He was a man paired with the right master would be able to win the war and become champion.
It was soon after that he began the ritual to summon his servant, he concentrated hard on the man and used the catalyst during the ritual. His hard work had paid off and he was granted the Lancer servant, a master in his own right. The first thing he did was challenge his own servant, after a quick battle that ended in Kaldera losing he realised the gap that was between them. He asked the servant to train him how to become such an efficient fighter as he. Lancer told him that he lacked skill in channeling his Qi, another form of energy that does not require mana or od but from the spirit. He would continue to train with his servant in the ways of Qi and would work his hardest to close that gap in time for the tournament as they got on a boat to Japan.

Description:
Shen Qiang Wu Er Da.
God Spear, No Second Strike is the spear technique of Li Shuwen. Similarly to "Tsubame Gaeshi" and "Wu Er Da", it is a technical skill perfected to the point of being sublimated as a Noble Phantasm. It has the same effects as the Assassin-class "No Second Strike"**, but the range was broadened by holding a spear. From the anecdote of "I pierced the flies perched on the wall without scratching the wall", one can guess that the precision of his movements is also no different from when unarmed.
The technique of "engulfing with Qi" does not have a fixed title as a technique, and it is an idea that just slightly resembles the Cosmic Orbit methods seen in the Taoist discipline. Zhou Tian is a kind of training method in which Qi is cultivated by enclosing the body and mind in Qi, revitalizing the whole body and allowing for the resonance and amplification of the Qi. One goal of the training is to fill one's body with Qi and to fill one's own Qi in the surrounding space. It has been speculated whether or not Li Shuwen "engulfed his opponent with Qi" by utilizing the practice of molding the space filled with his own Qi in order to construct his own territory. Those who have been "engulfed with Qi" would have some of their senses dazzled, entering into a heightened state of tension and paranoia, and in the case a direct impact is driven into the nervous system of an opponent in this state, it would either give the feeling that their nervous system was under almost unendurable strain, or their heart will feel like stopping due to a reaction in the pneumogastric nerve.
This technique skew his target's nervous and circulatory systems as well as Magic Circuits. It disrupts the internal Magic Circuits like a tornado, and in a Servant's case, the magical energy connection to one's Master can no longer function properly for a time.

From the anecdote of "I pierced the flies perched on the wall without scratching the wall", one can guess that the precision of his movements is also no different from when unarmed.
It is not a true Noble Phantasm, but rather the quintessence of his martial arts where all of his hard strikes, even those meant as a diversionary strike or a feint, are enough to snatch away the opponent's life. He was an expert martial artist with strength that surpassed that of others, but the principal of "engulfing the opponent with Qi being put into practice was thought to be more important than physical strength. One theory states that he did not just defeat opponents with the destructive power of his fists. Those defeated by his techniques did not suffer from the damage to their internal organs, but rather from what in the present would be called circulatory shock. This Noble Phantasm is the case of "when a Heroic Spirit's martial arts becomes his one and only asset, the 'skill' itself is sublimated as a Noble Phantasm."

Li Shuwen
Lancer's True Name is Li Shuwen, a legendary martial artist from China who, despite born in modern times, carved many legends. A Chinese martial artist from Yanshan County, Hebei - Cangzhou (1864~1934).
