Biography

“ The rising sun, reversed, strikes down the dragon. The darkened King of Knights follows in Vortigern's footsteps. ”

Unlock	Description	Translation🛈🛈|nbx= for north american localization release and |bx = for fan english translation
Default	聖杯の呪いに侵され、 非情さに徹しきった騎士王の側面。 あるいは、アーサー王が求めた“理想の王”とは こういったものだったのかもしれない。 アルトリアは自らの力を律し控えていたが、 この状態の彼女はためらう事なく強大な魔力を振るう。	NA TL NA Localization: Corrupted by the curse of the Holy Grail, this is the merciless side of the King of Knights. Or perhaps this is the true nature of the "Ideal King" that King Arthur sought to be. Altria controlled her own power and held back, but in this state, she wields her immense power without hesitation. Fan Translation: Having been violated by the curse of the Holy Grail, this is the side of the King of Knights that persists in being heartless. Maybe the "ideal king" that King Arthur pursued was something like this after all. Artoria used to contain her own power, but in this condition she wields powerful magical energy without hesitation.
Bond 1	身長／体重：154cm・42kg 出典：アーサー王伝説 地域：イギリス 属性：秩序・悪　　副属性：人　　性別：女性 非情に徹した暴君。竜とは大食いである。	NA TL NA Localization: Height/Weight: 154cm, 42kg Origin: Legend of King Arthur Region: England Alignment: Lawful-Evil Gender: Female A merciless tyrant. A gluttonous dragon. Fan Translation: Height/Weight: 154cm ・ 42kg Source: Arthurian Legends Region: Great Britain (Romano-British Kingdoms) Alignment: Lawful ・ Evil Attribute: Man Gender: Female A tyrant that persisted in being heartless. A gluttonous Dragon.
Bond 2	鎧が漆黒に染まり重量も増しているため、 通常時よりパワーが増している。 反面、俊敏さは低下しているようだ。 無駄のない言動、冷徹な性格はアルトリアとは 別人のようだが、注意深く接すれば根底にある ものは同じである事が分かるだろう。	NA TL NA Localization: The once shining armor has turned black and is now heavier, but the added weight has increased her attack power. However, her agility has gone down. With a ruthless cold persona, Altria seems like a completely different person. But if you are willing to dig deeper, you will see that what lies at the bottom is still the same. Fan Translation: Because the armor was dyed jet black and grew in weight, the power has increased more than normally. On the other hand, it seems that agility has decreased. A behavior without futility, a cold-headed personality that makes Artoria seems like a different person, but if one is to carefully come in contact with her, they might notice that what lies at the basis is still the same.
Bond 3	○魔力放出：Ａ 武器、ないし自身の肉体に魔力を帯びさせ、瞬間的に放出する事によって能力を向上させる。魔力によるジェット噴射。 アルトリア自身の筋力は人並みだが、すべての行動をありあまる魔力で強化する事で数多くの敵を打ち倒してきた。	NA TL NA Localization: Mana Burst: A Surrounds herself with magical energy on her weapon and body, and can instantly discharge it to improve her stats. Like jet propulsion via magical energy. Altria herself has normal muscular strength, but by using her overwhelming magical energy she can power up any and every activity to defeat many enemies. Fan Translation: Mana Burst: A Raises abilities by wrapping the weapons or one's own body in magical energy and then instantaneously releasing it. Jet propulsion by means of magical energy. Artoria herself possesses average physical strength, but she managed to defeat countless enemies by strengthening all actions with her excessive magical energy.
Bond 4	『約束された勝利の剣』 ランク：Ａ＋＋　種別：対城宝具 エクスカリバー・モルガン。 黒い極光の剣。自らの魔力を制御せず、思うままに聖剣を振るうため、魔力の粒子は光ではなく、光を飲む闇となってしまった。 その有様はブリテン島を守るために顕現した 魔竜ヴォーティガーンの息に近い。	NA TL NA Localization: 『Excalibur Morgan』 Rank: A++ NP Type: Anti-Fortress Sword of Promised Victory. The sword shines with dark aura. Because she wields the sacred sword as she sees fit without controlling her power, the magical energy particles do not emit light, but darkness. It is similar to the breath of the dragon Vortigern, which once revealed itself to protect the island of Britain. Fan Translation: The Sword of Promised Victory Rank: A++ Type: Anti-Fortress Excalibur Morgan. The sword of black aurora. Because she is wielding the holy sword to her heart's content, without controlling her own magical energy, the particles of magical energy ended up becoming not light, but a darkness that swallows light. Such condition is similar to the breath of the demonic dragon Vortigern, which manifested to protect the Isle of Britain.
Bond 5	生前、一度も悪の道に落ちなかったアルトリアだが、彼女にも迷いや葛藤、自身への怒り、周囲への嘆きは存在した。 この姿はそれらが呪いにより表面化し、彼女の“方針”を反転させたものである。 その目的、理想そのものは変化していない。 通常のアルトリアは理想のために清らかさを通したが、こちらのアルトリアは理想の為に圧政を良しと考える。	NA TL NA Localization: Altria never took the path of evil in her life. But she did have doubts, worries, anger at herself, and sorrow for those around her. This form is where the curse made those thoughts surface, and completely reversed her "principles." Her objective and her ideals have not changed. Normally Altria is kind and just, but this Altria feels that oppression is also a path to obtain her ideals. Fan Translation: While alive, Artoria did not fall into the path of evil even once, but she too had doubts, inner conflicts, hatred towards herself, and grief towards her surroundings. This figure is something that raised such issues to the surface by means of a curse and caused her "policy" to go inverse. There is no change in her goals, ideals themselves. The usual Artoria persisted in being chaste for the sake of her ideals, but this Artoria approves tyrannical rule for the sake of her ideals.
Clear Interlude 1
Extra	魔力炉心が規格外なためか、とにかくよく食べるサーヴァント。 アイデンティティともいえる食の嗜好までも変化し、丁寧、精巧、玄妙な味わいの料理をまずいと吐き捨て、大量のジャンクフードをもっきゅもっきゅと喰い漁る。 ひどい悪食だが、本人はたいへん満足しているのでこれはこれで幸福と言える。	NA TL NA Localization: Perhaps due to the abnormal amount of magical energy she hosts, Altria eats a lot. Even her tastes in food, what you could call someone's identity, changes. She spits out carefully crafted meals as disgusting, and munches down on immense amounts of junk food. She eats terribly, but is very satisfied. Eating this way is a kind of happiness. Fan Translation: Maybe because her magic reactor goes outside the scale, at any rate she is a Servant that eats a lot. Even her food preferences, which could be regarded as her identity, have changed: she spits out cooking with courteous, elaborate, abstruse tastes as bad, and chews down large quantities of junk-food. Awful eating habits, but she herself seems greatly satisfied, so maybe this can be called a form of happiness.
April Fool	アルトリアサーヴァント 品種の多いアルトリアの中でもかなり狂暴な性格。栄養バランスを考えずに食事を与え続けるとこうなると言われている。	Altria-Type Servant So angry, much hungry. She's said to be the most violent breed of all the Altria types. According to rumor, Altria evolves into this form if she's fed enough junk food.
