Professor Charisma.
Master V.
Great Big Ben ☆ Londonstar.
The man that female students chose as the #1 man they'd like to get have sex with, and so on, A famous lecturer in the Clock Tower with many nicknames.
He doesn't have any problems in declaring he's an archmagus, but he's hopelessly average as a magus. But, his skill as a lecturer dominates the rest, and is the best person at detecting the hidden talent of others and training it.
There are no magi that were his students that hadn't obtained the rank of Grand, and it's even been said that if he gathered his students together, the power chart in the Clock Tower would change.But he himself isn't the ambitious sort and has said, "What a load of codswallop. Why should I, stuck at the 4th tier I still be, have to bloody look after other people?"
Well, so, in that sense, he doesn't really want to get involved with his students.
Back when he was an apprentice, he'd been the very embodiment of the "narcissist that doesn't doubt he's a genius", but an incident some ten years ago had led him to change his attitude, and since then, the result of persistent effort for a spoiled brat led him to be called the professor.As far as being a talent production, his works are regarded as the greatest masterpieces of their time, but El-Melloi II doesn't really seem to care about that, probably because he's more interested in being a successful magus himself.
So anyhow, as a lecturer, he has zip interest in his mega popularity.
...Rather, he's irritated by that fact and so has for several years has been walking inside the institute with a constantly cranky look to him. Or so they say.LORD EL-MELLOI IILord El-Melloi II isn't his real name. Along with his many another nicknames, he involuntarily succeeded the name.
Before, he used to be an understudy of the one whom the title belonged to, one of the lords of London, Kayneth Archibald El-Melloi. After the death of his teacher, many things happened, and he managed to help the El-Melloi faction (Archibald family) to recover from the brink of ruin.ABOUT HIS IDENTITYSOURCE/??? (END OF EXPLANATION)Lord El-Melloi IIIf it has to be said then it's Fate/Stay Night.
In every story, as long as it takes place in London, then he will show up.
The custodian (sponsor) of Rin after she went to study in London. The condition being "I will not give you one ounce of instruction. Eh well, I will at least send letters of recommendation to the other departments".
He really hates Japan and Japanese, but his sole pleasures are Japanese games. A petit bourgeois that you really can't hate.
And so, while being internally excited, he tried to bring this up to the complete game dunce Rin,
"Maybe you might..... You know, you should be familiar with that town. That place right between Ueno and Asakusa...."
Only to be given an instant answer from Rin that not only did she have no interest in Akihabara, but she had no interest in even Nihonbashi.
And so he got pissed off instead.
"Fuck! You're the worst Japanese in the world."
The person that took down the Fuyuki Holy Grail war.After the situation was cleared, people started to call him "The Man Who Saved The Archibalds" or "The New El-Melloi".
Of course, there was the official heir for the El-Melloi title. But, she was just a little girl at that time, and she came from the lowest seat of the Archibald family. She gave him the title while saying "I recognize your deeds to the Archibald family, but since you were only making up for what you caused in the first place, you better serve me for your entire life", thus literally binding him to her.
