Biography

Unlock	Description	Translation🛈🛈|nbx= for north american localization release and |bx = for fan english translation
Default	ウィリアム・シェイクスピアは間違いなく、世界一高名な劇作家であり、俳優でもあった。英文学史上に燦然と輝くその名は、英国の偉人としての知名度は最高峰であろう。	NA TL NA Localization: William Shakespeare is definitely the most renowned playwright and actor. His name, which is highly praised in the world of English literature, is probably one of the most recognized names on this planet. Fan Translation: William Shakespeare is undoubtedly the most famous author in the world, and also an actor. His name shines most brilliantly in the history of English literature; as befitting one of the most famous Englishmen.
Bond 1	身長／体重：180cm・75kg 出典：史実 地域：イングランド 属性：中立・中庸　　副属性：人　　性別：男性 地味に既婚者。	NA TL NA Localization: Height/Weight: 180cm, 75kg Origin: History Region: England Alignment: Neutral-Balanced Gender: Male Quietly married. Fan Translation: Height/Weight: 180cm ・ 75kg Source: Historical fact Region: England Alignment: Neutral・Balanced Attribute: Man Gender: Male A plain married person.
Bond 2	有名な作家でありながら、その半生は謎に包まれている。ともあれ彼は幾つかの作品を執筆し、その名声は留まるところを知らなかった。当時の先輩劇作家から「成り上がりのカラス」と罵倒されるほどには、やっかまれていたらしい。	NA TL NA Localization: Even though he was a famous writer, half of his life is surrounded in mystery. He wrote some of the best literature known to mankind and there was no limit to his fame. In his time he was criticized as "an upstart crow" by writers senior to him. Fan Translation: Despite being a famous novelist, half of his life is wrapped in mystery. In any case, he just had to write a few works and his reputation didn't know where to stop. Considering how he was belittled by a senior playwright as a "upstart Crow" at the time, it seems that he was quite envied.
Bond 3	シェイクスピアは短く、そして効果的な言葉で人間が普段隠しているものを暴き立てる。それは漫然と、形にならないものを突然突きつけられる驚愕もあるのだろう。	NA TL NA Localization: Shakespeare uses short but effective words to expose things people are trying to hide. Being confronted by something so intangible must comes as a shock to anybody. Fan Translation: With short and effective words, Shakespeare brings to light that what humans usually keep hidden. This is like suddenly being poked by rambling, incongruous words, so one would probably feel shocked.
Bond 4	○エンチャント：Ａ 固有スキル、武装に対する概念付与。本来は魔術的な概念付与行為を指すのだが、シェイクスピアの場合は文章を描くことで、その武装の限界以上の力を引き摺り出す。	NA TL NA Localization: Enchant: A Unique skill. Applies a certain concept to any weapon. Originally this skill is meant to apply magical concepts to items but in Shakespeare's case, he can enhance a weapon beyond its innate potential through his writings. Fan Translation: Enchant: A Personal Skill. Concept endowment towards weapons. Originally this indicate a magical concept endowment deed, but in Shakespeare this is carried out by drawing a composition. It drags out a power surpassing the limits of said weapon.
Bond 5	『開演の刻は来たれり、此処に万雷の喝采を』 ランク：Ｂ　種別：対人宝具 ファースト・フォリオ。 シェイクスピアの放つ究極劇。敵味方関係なく、彼は対象者を自作劇の登場人物に仕立て上げる。 あらゆる英傑の心を折る、対心宝具。	NA TL NA Localization: 『First Folio』 Rank: B NP Type: Anti-Personnel When the Curtain Rises, the Applause Shall Be As Ten Thousand Thunders! The ultimate play written by Shakespeare. Regardless of allies or foes, he can turn targets into characters of his play. Capable of breaking the will of even the greatest of heroes, an Anti-Psyche Noble Phantasm. Fan Translation: When the Curtain Rises, the Applause Shall Be As Ten Thousand Thunders Rank: B Type: Anti-Unit The ultimate drama that Shakespeare releases. Regardless of friend or foe, he institutes the target group as characters in a drama of his making. An Anti-Heart Noble Phantasm that breaks the spirit of any and all great men.
Clear Interlude 1
Extra	聖杯戦争において屈指の「戦わない」サーヴァント。君の選択が面白ければ面白いほどに、彼の筆は冴え渡り、逆に凡庸であればあるほど彼はやる気を出さずに放り投げるだろう。 それは現状においても、変わりないようだ。	NA TL NA Localization: One of the few Servants who "will not fight" during a Holy Grail War. The more interesting your choice is, the better he writes. On the other hand, if you are nothing special, he would probably leave you to your own demise. That does not change, even in the current situation. Fan Translation: In the Holy Grail War, the foremost Servant who "doesn't fight". The more interesting your choices are, more his writing brush freezes over and, conversely, he will probably toss about without showing any motivation the more mediocre things are. Even in the present condition, seems this has not changed.
April Fool	ぶんごうサーヴァント カルデアで、何か悪いことやヘンなことがあったら、まずはコイツに問い質そう。いつでもダラダラしているが、〆切時には噛みついてくることもあるので、注意しよう。	Writer-Type Servant If something bad happens in Chaldea, you should question him first. Seems lazy most of the time but can become aggressive when a deadline is near. Be cautious.
