Bazett

Biodata

Background and history

Bazett arrives in Fuyuki as the Mage's Association's participant in the Holy Grail War and summons Lancer. An ambush leaves her gravely wounded; her attacker takes her left arm, Command Spells, and Servant. Shinji Matou finds her in the Ghost Mansion, where runes are barely keeping her alive, and treats her injuries 23 24 25.

Shinji later offers her a prosthetic arm and a way to take over Sakura's Servant, Rider. Bazett accepts on the conditions that she spare Rin Tohsaka and try to keep ordinary people out of the war. A blood pact transfers the Master contract to her, leaving her with two Command Spells 51 52.

Bazett initially stays hidden while Rider gathers information. She eventually joins Rin against threats in the war and confronts her former Servant, Lancer, in battle 53 95 126 128. After the war, she continues taking assignments from the Association, including investigations of Fuyuki's Mirror World disturbances. She later refuses an undocumented order to assassinate Shinji and questions whether the Association is right for her; Shinji gives her bodyguard work 186 199 302 304.

Appearance

Bazett is a tall, athletic woman usually seen in a suit 23 24 51.

• Short rose-red hair and rose-red eyes; a beauty mark beneath her left eye 23.
• Dark red suit and rose-red tie at her first appearance 23.
• Height: 172 cm, the same as Rider 51.
• Loses her left arm in the ambush and later receives a magically functional prosthesis 25 51.

Personality

Bazett is direct and mission-focused: she proposes simple terms for an alliance and expects to face dangerous opponents herself. Despite her reputation as an Enforcer, she repeatedly worries about allies' safety and wants to prevent the war from harming ordinary people 95 126 127 199.

She is less guarded in personal matters. Shinji's care leaves her embarrassed and increasingly attached to him, while his absence disappoints her. She rarely pursues hobbies; a sliding puzzle is described as her only pastime when he visits the Ghost Mansion 26 37 43.
