I always found the concept of Foreigners to be very intriguing as it's not as straightforward as you might think.

The wiki states Foreigner's are "Those who wield power drawn from outside human boundaries. Entities from different dimensions that are foreign to human comprehension". But it's not simply possession. Outer Gods are beings of divinity that are foreign not just to this world, but this dimension entirely. The Fate universe has it's gods and divinities, and foreigners are foreign to even that. Not only this, but the servant, the Foreigner being possessed specifically not only has to be possessed by an outer god (which is extremely rare), but has to somehow be able to resist the madness of the outer god that lives within them. They retain who they are and what they value despite the corruption of a force that should inevitably be beyond anything someone of this world could ever handle.

It's almost like.. who is the real Foreigner? The extraterrestrial being with abilities not of this dimension, the God from a foreign dimension?.. Or the human being, a human being, that was somehow capable of denying the madness, capable of "being something greater" then the aforementioned "Outer God" that has a hold of them??? Pretty crazy to think about.
