Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald

About El-Melloi Archibald, Kayneth

Kayneth is a nobleman and one of the Clock Tower's most celebrated mages—a prodigy with nine generations of magical lineage backing him up. He holds the prestigious position of Euryphis lecturer despite his youth, and his natural talent in wind and water magic, combined with his skills in summoning, alchemy, and spiritual evocation, made him arguably the most magically gifted Master in the Fourth Holy Grail War. What really sets him apart is his mastery of mercury-based magic. He can conjure barriers tough enough to withstand point-blank explosions and craft flying blades that cut through stone like butter. His control is so refined that his enchanted mercury can defend him automatically, throwing up shields against surprise attacks without him even thinking about it. Kiritsugu Emiya pegged him as one of the two most dangerous magi in the entire war, though neither ended up being the real threat. His involvement in the Fourth Holy Grail War is mostly about climbing the ranks within the Magus Association—it's a personal power play rather than anything idealistic. He set up his base at the Fuyuki Hyatt Hotel and loaded it with serious defenses: twenty-four layers of barriers, summoned monsters everywhere, traps, and reality-warping spatial tricks in the lobby alone. Kayneth serves as Master to Lancer in the war. He's engaged to Sola-Ui Nuada-Re Sophia-Ri, whose father heads the spiritual evocation division—a classic arranged marriage. The problem is she can't stand him, viewing him as a coward for refusing to engage other Masters in direct combat. Kayneth, for his part, is actually in love with her. His bad blood with Waver Velvet goes back further: Kayneth was Waver's teacher and famously rejected his thesis on magical potential so harshly he tore it up. That humiliation drove Waver to steal one of Kayneth's artifacts and enter the Holy Grail War just to spite him.
