True Name: Oberon Vortigern Class: Pretender Gender: Male Height: 174cm Weight: 56kg Source: Germanic folklore, Medieval European literature Region: Lostbelt Britain Alignment: Chaotic Evil / Earth Likes: Too many to say in one word Master (A blatant, monotone lie) Dislikes: Being asked to return borrowed items Everything First person: I (casual, rough) Basically a pleasure-seeker who prefers interesting things. He seeks dramatic developments from an observer's standpoint and is a mischievous trickster who indirectly manipulates others. In addition, he possesses a high level of prudence regarding risk management for danger, defeat, and setbacks. He is shrewd and excels at gathering information secretly from all over using his own abilities. As in legend, despite being the king of fairies, he has a deep understanding of human society and adapted quickly to the British Lostbelt—where human-like culture is strong—building numerous connections in no time. On the other hand, he has a cold-hearted side that does not hesitate to use silence or sophistry for his goals. Even if the immediate result is despair, if it leads to a happy ending in the end, he doesn't mind letting his allies take the heat. Artoria Caster has often pointed out that his "vibe is similar to Merlin," and his suspicious nature and rationality—valuing the greater good over small matters—certainly match. However, there are depictions suggesting he is ashamed of that side of himself, and it seems he had a desire not to place unnecessary burdens on Artoria and the others in his own way. In that sense, he could be called more human than Merlin. Even in situations he gave up on based on rational judgment, he has a surprisingly gritty side in a good way, such as ultimately believing in the protagonist's decision to rush forward for a certain reason. And he is the "Star's End Device," the culprit behind the collapse of the Earth due to the disappearance of the British Lostbelt, as predicted by Trismegistus II of Novum Chaldea. The shell of the Heroic Spirit Oberon that Vortigern donned is a fiction containing the nature of "if it were all but a night's frenzy," so everything he says and does eventually twists. Therefore, there is no credibility in any of his words or actions, and he is a born liar for whom it is extremely difficult to distinguish where the lies end and the truth begins. Whether the things he says he likes are truly liked, whether the things he says he hates are truly hated, or whether the things he says he doesn't care about are truly irrelevant—he even deceives himself, so no one knows the truth. Because every word is output as a mix of truth and falsehood, communication through words is extremely difficult. This is his nature as a Heroic Spirit; he cannot help it, and he himself is quite fed up with it. Rarely, he speaks his true feelings from the heart, but in the unlikely event he says it in a way that is clearly understood as sincere, fate itself will be fixed in a way that contradicts Oberon's true heart to turn that statement into an "unreliable lie." It seems he has a sort of causal manipulation trait. As an exception, facts that have become the "unalterable past" or things he hasn't explicitly spoken aloud cannot be twisted, so he remains vague only about the things that are truly important. In that sense, "not being definitive" might be his own form of sincerity. Titania: His wife in the original story "A Midsummer Night's Dream." A non-existent destined partner. An unreachable star. He has no love for others and no self-love, but in reality, he has an attachment to Titania. He is indignant at her existence, which could only exist within a story, and while the root of his aggression comes from his love for her, he will never speak of it. His attitude is basically listless, and he utters sarcasms with a cool composure toward everyone. Perhaps because he fulfilled his mission in the Lostbelt, he has lost motivation to the point of recognizing burnout syndrome and has no energy to do anything about Chaldea. However, while his tongue is sharp, his behavior itself is relatively gentlemanly. He is surprisingly sincere, showing a serious attitude toward those he has acknowledged while remaining vague with his words. But since his nature is twisted after all, he doesn't like to show that side to people. In My Room, he says, "I'm going to the cafeteria to eat melon," but he doesn't particularly like melon; he apparently eats it just to be spiteful because it's the most rare and expensive-looking thing, leading Castoria to retort, "How petty!" Furthermore, since he only feels disgust toward everything and his sexual preferences or sense of beauty aren't deviant, his taste in the opposite sex or fashion sense is actually quite normal. He possesses Fairy Eyes and can peek into people's lies and hearts regardless of their will. Oberon loathes stories and human history, but he finds it easy to empathize with characters and individuals.
