Sieg

Independent Action: EX

A subspecies of possessed Servant. Mana is required to take action in combat, but regarding anything else, he can live for months and years just like an ordinary human.

Homunculus: C+

A homunculus cast by the Musik family having appropriated the skills of the Einzbern.
Though accidental, he was born with a personality and excellent ability in magecraft.

Man-Made Hero (Fake): B+

A man-made pseudo-hero created by receiving the heart of the hero Siegfried and having Frankenstein’s Noble Phantasm electric current flowing inside his body. Though it’s only for a short time, by combining it with a Dragon Revelation Command Spell he can act as a hero ———— a Servant.

Magecraft: C

Natural talent that homunculi, cast from Magic Circuits, have.
Makes use of a technique style that understands the structure of the target and destroys any solid material by striking with the completely opposite composition. However, Sieg can’t use any magecraft at all besides that.

Dragon Revelation Command Spells: EX

Dead Count Shapeshifter.
By using the Command Spells he owns, he makes use of the inserted heart of Siegfried although temporarily, and can transform into Siegfried.
A super-unique skill that is impossible to be possessed by others that aren’t the homunculus Sieg.

Ákafiloga All-gríð: Scorching Dragon Breath · Liquefaction of All the Land

Ákafiloga Allgríðr.¹
A Noble Phantasm that brings a temporary figure transformation into the Dragn Kind “Fafnir”.
By emitting a powerful Breath of the Dragon (dragon breath), it deals immense damage.
Fundamentally he returns to normal once he finishes breathing, but if it’s for a short time things such as flight in the shape of a dragon are possible too.

Translator’s Notes

1. ^ In Old Norse, Ákafi = heat/vehemence, Loga = blaze, Allr = all, Gríðr = greed. The translation would be “Blazing All-Greed”.

Personality

Due to the method of birth (manufacture), he was only given innocent emotions like those of a baby, but based on the abundant knowledge he was blessed with by birth, he was formed as one living being in one way or another.
He, who was motivated by one of the main objectives of living beings that is 『to survive』, gains humanity by encountering several incidents.
That was in a certain sense, an attempt to make a being that was a lifeform from a higher order be degraded into something vulgar.
Eventually he harbored anger unnecessary for a living being due to the death of a Holy Maiden, and contended for the decisive battle.
His current state was copied in a state close to the final stage, expresses emotions as it is, and shows a glimpse of a side brimming with curiosity.

Attitude towards Master

Serving a common Master, or being summoned is rare, so there is no problem in thinking that his attitude regarding the Master is just like his attitude towards the protagonist.
He respects the Master that is fighting to protect Human Order, and will fight risking his life for his/her sake.
He, who was destined from the beginning to disappear once everything is over, doesn’t have a bit of hesitation in his disappearance.
If he was to hesitate, it would just be a separation from a partner who he deepened his bonds with.

Dialogue Examples

「Servant… Sieg. I apologize, I’m just a homunculus.
I think you can’t expect much of me as military strength, but it seems that if it’s with my registered Noble Phantasm I can somehow fight. Use me as you deem fit.」
「Transformation start.
My body is the evil dragon that flies embracing the Chalice of Heaven.
Melt everything… Ákafiloga Allgríðr!」
「… Master. Er, it would make me happy if you became my friend.
I don’t know if this is a way to invite you or not but
… No, forget it.
It’s awkward」

Character Image in “FateGO”

What if someone extended their hand towards an unreachable star while gritting their teeth.
He was in the side that shot down that star.
He is just a homunculus, just a human.
Formerly a homunculus of the Musik family ———— He who was cast for the use of mana supply, was chosen by Avicebron as a candidate for the nucleus of his Noble Phantasm, but he escaped in fear of that fact.
After many twists and turns, the homunculus that went by the name of Sieg obtained the omnipotent wish-granting device, and flew away to the Reverse Side of the World in the form of Fafnir.
……Now, the Sieg summoned in Chaldea is a terminal distributed from there.
The main body has almost the same thoughts and performance, but only the accumulated experience is different.
That said, that’s a life allowed only in the circumstances in which Human Order is trembling.
While finding out the meaning of living a different life from the main body separated far away, he will someday disappear as if he was dreaming.

Connections with Characters

Jeanne D’arc

I see. Ruler being here is a natural logic.
It’s not like she will remember me, but I can’t help but carelessly call out to her.

Jeanne D’arc (Alter)

Another aspect of that Ruler…?
It’s hard to believe, but there are many things with this situation.
And the outside may be different, but her being too serious at the core feels like Ruler.
No, the class is Avenger, though.

Servants that participated in the Great Holy Grail War
Everyone is a splendid hero.
Though only a little, I’m proud of having been able to fight.

Astolfo

Rider is Rider anywhere.
Um, I’m glad.

Sitonai

Summarizing you’re a homunculus, Sitonai, Freyja, and Louhi.
I see, how complicated.
…Me too in general?
I’m a homunculus, temporarily borrow Siegfried’s power, can transform into Fafnir,
and I’m a fragment of a former Master?
…How complicated…

Jeanne D’arc (Swimsuit)

(Doubts his own eyes, rubs them)

Jeanne D’arc (Alter) (Swimsuit)

Japanese swords, three-sword style…
(Nods with satisfaction)

He was already perfected in Apocrypha, so there isn’t any material worth speaking about because it’s FGO, I’m sorry… Such a scrap mountain of memories I dug out! I carelessly didn’t acknowledge him as a welfare character, so I ended up making a design rough even for the third stage like crazy! He was so cool! CERTAINLY SMILING LIKE AN ANGEL!!! Anyway, a character you can obtain by playing is a good thing in its way. Gacha is bad civ… (The description is broken off here)¹ (Konoe Ototsugu)

Translator’s Notes

1. ^ This is actually written there. Rip Konoe, probably Photon Ray’d for stealing catchphrases.

The protagonist of the light novel Fate/Apocrypha. He was originally a homunculus made by Gordes to supply mana, created not to think anything and fated to die after having his mana wrung out by the Servants, but… Almost all details about him were depicted in the novels through the entire course of his life. After all, he has virtually no past to speak of.
Not only that, his life was set to be limited from the beginning as the premise of his birth. Even if he had thought of living a respectable life, he would only have live three years at the most. It’s precisely because of this that he continued to choose absurd, unreasonable and reckless choices for the sake of “what he thought he should do.”
Even after he acquired greater longevity, that aspect of him didn’t change. The reason Sieg acted for the sake of humanity at the end naturally wasn’t for humanity’s sake in and of itself. In the first place, Sieg hadn’t experienced enough to completely believe in humanity.
However, Jeanne d’Arc waged her life to win the future. It is because he saw that and wished to “become her strength” that he acted, a greatly personal desire.
Additionally, his Magic Circuits alone were of such high quality that Avicebron had an eye on him and were in no way inferior to those of Darnic, Yggdmillennia’s head. However, he can only use them to destroy things through Structural Analysis. Even if he had survived, he wouldn’t have had any intention of studying magecraft since he doesn’t have a very positive image of it.
Having transformed into one of the Dragon Kind at the end, Sieg has already lost his physical body. His final state is the form of Sieg’s soul after he transformed by making a wish upon the Holy Grail.
Incidentally, the words Jeanne spoke at the end of the novel made Sieg finally understand the reason why he continued waiting for her all that time. The two of them take being thick-headed to a new extreme!
