True Name: Harald Wartooth
Class: Berserker
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Appearance:
Parameters:STR: A
CON: A
AGI: C
MGI: D
LCK: A
Class Skills: Mad Enhancement C: Although sane enough to become King of Denmark and rule unopposed for 50 years, he fought like a madman on the field of battle, charging in the ranks of his enemies without armour and wearing only his royal insignia. This skill is drawn from that wild style of fighting, ranking up all of Harald parameters by 1 except MGI and LCK and robbing him of his ability to speak and be reasoned with.
Personal Skills: Unwounded A: “He went before the armed battalions and gave the raging dangers of war a chance. Yet the spears flung at him could no more harm him then if their blades pointed backwards. When others saw this fighter's woundlessness, they were taken aback and shame spurred them to attack him still more fiercely. Harald, unwounded, killed them with his sword or sent them fleeing."
A variant of Battle Continuation that allows Harald to not only continue fighting after taking mortal injuries, but to appear unwounded no matter how much damage he sustains. This skill is equivalent to Battle Continuation A and allows Harald to continue fighting even when afflicted with deadly injuries and can remain alive as long as one does not receive a decisive fatal wound. Additionally, enemies who attack Harald and who see that their attacks seemingly did no damage will receive a minus modifier on their strength parameter (if a physical attack was used) or any Noble Phantasms at rank A or below (if Harald was damaged by them).
Berserk B: A true berserker in life, a Viking warrior who forwent armour in battle, charging recklessly into the enemy and fighting without fear or concern for his life. No weapon could harm him, no enemy was brave enough to face him, even his own swords could not withstand his strength.
A composite skill of Bravery and Mad Enhancement. Grants the user the ability to negate mental interference such as pressure, confusion and fascination. It also has the bonus effect of increasing melee damage.
Military Tactics C: Before battles it was said that Harald would receive guidance from Odin himself about how to win his battles; often this just amounted to forming his army in a wedge shape and charging into the heart of the enemy army, but as these tactics led to Harald conquering all of his enemies you can’t really argue with results. In his maddened state this skill is not suitable to be used to lead troops into battle, but still provides Harald with a boost to the power of his Anti-Army Noble Phantasms as well as being better able to defend against his enemies Anti-Army Noble Phantasms.
Regeneration C: It is said that Harald earned the name “Wartooth” during a battle against Veseti, the Lord of Scandinavia, during which Harald’s two front teeth were knocked out only for them to grow back instantly. Harald will heal from injuries faster than most other Servant’s and at a reduced mana cost for his Master.
Weapon: Two heavy oak clubs, sturdy enough to be wielded by Berserker without breaking
Noble Phantasm(s): Name: Grav Varer
Title: Final Tribute to a Fallen King
Rank: B+
Type: Anti-Army
Range: 2-50
Maximum Number of Targets: 250
Description: Upon realised that Harald had been killed during the battle of Bråvalla his opponent, the King of Sweden Sigurd, brought a stop to the fighting and order that Harald’s body be found. The two armies searched for the rest of the morning and eventually found Harald’s body under a pile or corpses piled high enough that a wagon couldn’t drive over it. Sigurd constructed a funeral pyre and placed Harald’s body on it, along with his horse, and bade Harald to ride straight to Valhalla and secure lodging for those who had perished. Thereafter, all the chiefs walked around the pyre throwing weapons and gold onto it.
This Noble Phantasm is an manifestation of the final tribute paid to King Harald on his funeral pyre, a collection of weapons and other items burnt alongside his body and sent to Valhalla with him; the sheer size of that final battle means that thousands of weapons were paid in tribute to the fallen king, many of which were wielded by warriors worthy of being sent to the Throne of Heroes themselves. Grav Varer allows Harald to summon this vast armoury to the field; sword, spears, axes and even shields and pieces of armour.
As a Berserker Harald does not have much control over this Noble Phantasm, which if anything makes it more dangerous, and using it causes hundreds upon thousands of weapons, shields and pieces of armour each of which is on the level of a D or C rank Noble Phantasm themselves, to rain down from the sky. However, even though they are summoned as part of his Noble Phantasm, these weapons are not owned by Harald and therefore cannot be wielded by him as Noble Phantasms themselves.
Name: Ubøjelige Egetræ
Title: Weapons Strong Enough to Withstand the Kings Might
Rank: D
Type: Anti-Unit
Range: 1
Maximum Number of Targets: 1
Description: Berserker’s strength in battle was so great that any sword he tried to wield would break upon his enemies. No blacksmiths in his employ were able to create a weapon which would last more than a few battles in his hands and he would often find himself fighting hand-to-hand or searching for discarded weapons to use. It wasn’t until he picked up these heavy oaken clubs, little more than thick, sturdy wooden bludgeons, that he found a weapon which would not break under his strength.
While nothing more than simple heavy oaken clubs in truth, these weapons favoured by Berserker took on a legend of their own among his men and his enemies for being the only weapons he ever wielded, aside from those sword which he died holding, which he did not break in battle. These weapons are synonymous with the image of Berserker in battle and as such became Noble Phantasms when he was summoned by the grail; unable to be broken by any test of strength or powerful impact.
Personality: While most of what once was of Berserker’s personality has been taken away from him by his madness, hints of the king he used be can still be seen during quieter moments. Although in battle he will charge wildly into combat, screaming in rage as he disregards strategy or finesse in favour of brute force, outside of combat he will appear calm, even serene. Robbed of the ability to speak he will simply sit and stare into the distance, seeing something no-one else can see, quiet and contemplative and some of the old cunning of a king can be seen in his eyes.
Legend: Harald was a Scandinavian king who lived in the 8th century, who conquered all of Scandinavia, Denmark and parts of Eastern England. The son of a Norse princess, Auor the Deep-Minded, and Hroerekr Ringslinger, King of Zealand, Harald was therefore the heir of two royal families; his grandfather on his mother’s side, King Ivar of Scania, Denmark and Sweden, killed his father and forced his mother to flee, only to later take his own life after a dream prophesised his death. Upon hearing this, Harald returned to Zealand to claim the throne and was accepted as king.
At fifteen years old, the newly crowned King of Zealand, went to Scania where his grandfather had rules where he was well received and was given much support. He then sailed to Sweden to claim his inheritance; however, many petty kings had reclaimed the lands taken from them by Ivaf. These kings thought Harald would be easy to defeat due to his young age, however he was able to successfully reclaim his grandfather's domains, so that in the end he owned more than his grandfather had, and there was no king in either Denmark or Sweden who did not pay him tribute or was his vassal. He subjugated all the parts of England that had belonged to Halfdan the Valiant and later Ivar. In England he appointed kings and jarls and had them pay him tribute.
Ruling unopposed for many years, once Harald realised he was approaching death at the age of 150, he suggested to the King of Sweden Sigurd Hring, one of his vassals, that a battle should be fought between them. For Harald wished to die a warrior’s death in battle and be taken to Valhalla, rather than die ingloriously on his deathbed and be taken to Niflheim. Both sides prepared their forces for seven years, mustering armies of 200,000 men, whole forests were cut down to build enough longships to carry them and when gathered together the ships were thick enough together to form a bridge from Zealand to Scania.
When the battle began, Harald stayed back to observe at first, watching as many notable heroes of the age fought and died in battle with each other. Eventually Harald had seen enough and entered the battle himself, kneeling on his chariot as old age did not permit him to stand, holding a sword in each hand he rode into the thickest part of the battle, slaying many warriors on either side of him. Watching him the entire time, when Odin had deemed him of having earned a worthy death, the Skyfather struck Harald in the back of his head with an axe and killed the king.
Upon seeing the chariot without its rider, the King of Sweden called an end to the battle and sought out the body of King Harald. Laying it on a funeral pyre along with his horse, Sigurd bade Harald ride straight to Valhalla and secure lodging for those who had perished. Thereafter, all the chiefs walked around the pyre throwing weapons and gold onto it.
