"He was the only one who hadn't killed a single homunculus."
Not long ago, during the prewar mobilization, the members of the Thousandth Tree Clan had informed one another of their Servants' true names. Gordes alone had refused, claiming that revealing Saber's true name would have fatal consequences.
That was only natural. After all, the immortal Great Hero Siegfried was far too famous.
