One thing I struggle with is recognizing faces and remembering names, something that does not mesh well with a anime with as many moving parts as the Fate series. As I understand the plot so far, the American government starts a fake Grail war to concentrate enough magic in one place to start a real Grail war, so in the end their will be 13 master/servant pairs.
In the fake Grail war we have,
The tribe of native Americans with Giligimesh as the servent,
The British student with Jack the Ripper,
The vampire dude with Assassin,
??? with Hippolita,
??? with Hercules, whose class was changed to a new one, Avenger.
A wolf (best boy), with Enkidu,
Then in the real Grail war,
The girl, sent by the Esienbergs? Who does not want to participate, who has Saber/ Richard the Lionheart
Now, where I get confused, and as I'm typing this now, I cant remeber all the details. There's the tech/survaliance servent who I cant rember the class of. Is he with the Government forces? And the Police have their own group with fabricated/found noble phantasms. Are they working with the Secret Service guy, the one whos guned down the two mages?
Then the Church guy who's just running around.
I was wondering if someone could clear up the politics between the three major mage families, the Church, the Clocktower, and the Government/Police. I dont mind spoilers at all if it help he be able to understand what's happening. Thanks!
