The "Holy Grail War" is a battle where seven mages fight alongside their familiars (Servants) for the "Holy Grail," which is said to grant any wish. Guest, a ten-year-old orphan, was taken in by Kirei Kotomine, who noticed Guest's immense magical capacity, and was sheltered and cared for at the church. There, Guest also met the King of Heroes, Gilgamesh, who had achieved incarnation. Seven years have passed, and just as Guest turned seventeen, the Fifth Holy Grail War began. Guest was caught up in it as an irregular eighth Master in a war originally meant for seven.
