Introduction
The figure of the great hero Cu Chulainn from Celtic mythology and Ulster mythology————during the times of training. His mind as well as his body are more immature and younger than the him who materializes as a Lancer or a Caster. But at the same time, he also hides endless possibilities within him as a boy who continues to struggle, and advance, for the sake of becoming someone.
The symbol of every training day in the life of the hero Cu Chulainn. For that reason, he also possesses his memories of the Land of Shadows that he should not have personally experienced yet during the time he called himself Setanta. The time he actually visited the Land of Shadows was after when he earned the fame of being “Culann’s savage dog (Cu Chulainn)” by battling Culann’s watchdog. It is an incident that happened after he stepped forth as the hero Cu Chulainn.
Bond 1
Height / Weight: 165cm / 56kg
Sources: Celtic Mythology, Ulster Mythology
Region: Ireland
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Sex: Male
Although he knows that he will eventually grow taller, it seems that in the end, Setanta is worrying about the fact that “My materialized self is still small.”
Bond 2
A naive feral boy. Bright and active. Setanta acts before worrying about things. However, because of the education he received thoroughly from his foster father Fergus and his teacher Scathach, he also possesses the aspect of an honours student who properly abides by the courtesy that should be displayed towards one’s superiors and adults… But he is free-spirited when no one is looking.
Towards his Master, Setanta treats them like a familiar friend. Towards someone with an age close to his, this is his best way of dealing with someone as far as he is concerned.
Setanta does not particularly have a wish he wants to make on the Holy Grail. Because he knows that no one can grant his wish of “I must become the strongest hero”, except himself.
Bond 3
Warrior of the Red Branch: B
Setanta is strongly aware in particular that he himself is a member of “The Knights of the Red Branch”, a knight order where Ulster’s brave and wild knights congregate.
Ferocious Dog Slayer: A
The anecdote of his childhood days where Setanta was called Culann’s dog - namely, “Cu Chulainn” - transformed into a Skill. A subspecies of the Beast Slayer Skill. Demonstrates a special attack performance towards animals.
Martial Arts Disciplining in the Shadow Country: B+
The days of training brought about by the Land of Shadows’ landlady - Scathach - had tempered Setanta’s mind and body and allowed him to reach completion as the peerless hero Cu Chulainn. Setanta possesses this Skill because his current Saint Graph’s mind and body is from the time of his training days (specifically, just before the end of his training). In the case that he truly materializes as the hero Cu Chulainn, he will no longer possess this Skill, but instead will possess the Noble Phantasm Gae Bolg.
(In other words, a situation where the materialized hero Cu Chulainn does not possess either this Skill or the Noble Phantasm Gae Bolg————should be essentially impossible.)
Bond 4
In addition, his teacher Scathach - the Land of Shadows’ landlady and the strongest spearwoman - continued to call him “Setanta” like it was natural.
“I don’t think I’m really shrinking away because of that.” Such was the comment from the hero Setanta himself.
Setanta clearly remembers his training days in the Land of Shadows. Although it is not clear when it is about his other memories concerning “his future”, it seems he is generally aware of his recorded historical facts.
However, different from the boy Alexander who materialized with Saint Graph conditions similar to his own, Setanta does not completely accept his future, saying “Although I don’t know whether it’s because of recorded history, human history, or whatever…” “My future is my alone.” “Medb? I was killed by her or something? No way!” To him, Medb is someone he will be ready to take on.
Bond 5
Cruaidin Setanta: The Shining Blade that Shreds with Severing Death
Rank: B+
Classification: Anti-Personnel Noble Phantasm
Range: 0~30
Maximum Number of Targets: 1 person
A Noble Phantasm where the unnamed sword awarded to Setanta by King Conchobar - at the time when he was recognized as a warrior of Ulster - is assimilated with Cruaidin, the sword of light that appeared in the legend of “The Battle of Ross na Rig”.
A magic sword that emits a faint light. At the time of its True Name Release, it strongly radiates light, demonstrating a power that is even akin to the magic sword Caladbolg that his foster father Fergus wields. Making use of the fearsome combat techniques he studied from his teacher Scathach, Setanta beats up his target to a complete pulp.
At the time of establishing this Saint Graph with his True Name as Setanta for this summoning, it is thought that the two swords were assimilated into one Noble Phantasm because of the shared trait where each sword was wielded by Setanta - namely, the hero Cu Chulainn - during the times of battle.
“This sword, wasn’t it something I actually used much later in my life? Wasn’t it?”
“But, well, I guess there are many fellows who possess Noble Phantasms of that sort. Eh, whatever!” Such was told by Setanta.
