A Foreigner from the Void of the Outer Universe. One who has been possessed by an evil god and hides a portion of its power in her bosom, in order to tempt others.
Creates an advantageous position for one’s self. She becomes the head of a secret society of mages, and gathers magical energy and followers from a wide array of branches located around the temple tower. However, due to various restrictions in Chaldea, it doesn’t seem like it’s showing it’s true potential.
She became the forerunner of a higher life-form that lurks in outer space and has been entrusted with strong divinity. It seems that Molay herself is being monitored through a rebellious familiar who refuses to listen to orders. The both of them are the same in that they ignore orders.
This bears no relation to her opinions or appearance from when she was alive; it only refers to the severity of the reputational harm she suffered thanks to malicious rumors.
One rumor said that she worshipped a goat-headed demon by taking part in obscene rituals. Another claimed the Knights Templar are still active, and that their massive wealth continues to be passed down to this day. It was these unfounded accusations brought against the Knights Templar, and the exaggerated stories told about them in later years, that corrupted Molay. As a result, she gained a seductive body that craved pleasure above all else, and has become almost unrecognizable in personality and behavior from the knight who swore to reclaim the holy land.
A highly dubious theory holds that the Shroud of Turin was actually used to wrap Jacques de Molay’s body rather than the Savior’s. It’s true that the Charny house in France where the Shroud was discovered did have deep ties to the Knights Templar, and it’s also true that the house has connections to Geoffroi de Charny, a Templar knight who was burned at the stake alongside Molay, but beyond that, who can say?
A powerful temptation technique. In this secret investiture ritual, prospective Templar knights are made to swear fealty to the Holy Mother of the Abyss before the spirits of great knights from the past. An initiation into release and, well, depravity.

Friday the 13th.
The “Temple Tower” is the place where gruesome torture and executions begin. The inside changed into an eerie otherworld where a dark mass is being held in worship of a demon. A high-density curse then takes physical form, transforming into a blasphemous creature that washes the enemy away and swallows them into it’s womb.

A genuinely Evil Servant who pursues her own selfish desires to the exclusion of all else. Had she been summoned to assist humanity by a Master who was unable to keep her in check, there is no doubt that she would have been the cause of a major disaster.
She has no regard for others’ sacrifices or suffering. While she doesn’t technically lie, she has no problem obscuring truths which could inconvenience her. Her preference is to enjoy her villainy in secret, without risk of being caught. Her loyalty is, first and foremost, to her own desires. She has no compunction about attempting to seduce anyone she likes into joining her in her evil. When the chips are down, her true wickedness shines through.
Regardless of her Ascension, her personality and behavior remain unchanged. Never takes her glasses off, even in the bath.
“This stupid mountain goat’s name is Baphy. She’s here to keep an eye on me. Ugh, she’s such a pain in the ass.”
Her desire for the Holy Grail is ’revenge against the French royal family’ and ’the corruption of mankind and the return of the Holy Mother of the Abyss’. Her attitude towards the Master is unrestrained and capricious. Usually savoury, moderately charming and careless. Some days she is gentle, some days she is strangely insolent, and some days she is in an unexplained mood and won’t talk to them.
The Knights Templar was a military order tasked with protecting the people undertaking pilgrimages to Jerusalem. Molay was the twenty-third and final grand master of the order. The Templars leveraged their privilege and spread their influence across Europe, and they utilized their financial resources, on par with an entire nation’s treasury, to function as one of the first international banks in history. However, the order’s tendency toward secrecy also led to a great many unflattering rumors founded in envy, such as that the group practiced black magic. Ultimately, the entire order was disbanded under suspicion of heresy.
Molay was burned at the stake at Île de la Cité in Paris. He screamed curses before his death, and within a year of Molay’s execution, the King of France and the Pope, the primary architects of the Templars’ dissolution, died unexpectedly.
As a Foreigner, Jacques de Molay is an innocent Heroic Spirit whose Spirit Origin has been altered by the slander and lies spread by the authority figures who envied the Knights Templar. She has also been possessed by an evil god known as the “Holy Mother of the Abyss” who wishes to corrupt all of humanity, giving her Evil traits a boost.
Incidentally, the reason Friday the 13th is considered an unlucky date is because it is said to be the day on which the Knights Templars’ identities were exposed.
Longsword, shield, Holy Shroud (False), Holy Nail (False).
Marshal Gilles de Rais. It is an honour to meet the legitimate descendant of Robert de Craon, the second President of the Knights Templar. It is thanks to the leadership of your Highness that the true foundations were laid for the Order at that time, when it was nothing more than a group of poor young men with a dream. Let us also come together.
Oh. Columbus! You are a sailor among sailors, a true man of the sea, a man of honour and humanity! Yes! Can I call you Columbus? Anyway your father-in-law, Bartolomeu, was a Knight of the Order of the Saviour, but he was originally a Templar from the Portuguese jurisdiction. Don’t hang out with the other pirates okay?
Ruler Jeanne d’Arc huh…? The way a Servant should be, the meaning of their existence, the meeting with Master that could have happened…… Ah……She is so beautiful… really. It’s a miracle of God. And all I have left is this dirty curse.
Comment from Illustrator #
From Jacques de Molay (Saber), the lamb is transformed into a goat and the back of the shield resembles a Genghis Khan pot. Since he was accused of all kinds of crimes, burned and then became a Foreigner, I designed her based on the most dubious rumour related to Molay: “The Knight Templar’s vast wealth were later used by the Nazis to develop UFOs” That’s why the design looks a bit like a space suit. I also tried to make a design that would make Saber Molay faint if he saw it. (Kouhaku Kuroboshi)
