The Twenty-seven Dead Apostle Ancestors (死徒⼆⼗七祖, Shito

WIKIS

group were those of the Dead Apostles who escaped from their role as

WIKI the "emergency rations" of the True Ancestors, but it currently refers to
the distinct factions amongst the Dead Apostles due to some having
been succeeded by new generations of Dead Apostles.
List of the Twenty-seven Dead
Apostle Ancestors
About half of the originals, have been sealed away by the Church and
some have been annihilated, changing the leadership of the di"erent factions throughout the
generations as they have been replaced, while others still reign as Ancestors in the present era. There
are some missing numbers that are yet to be replaced. These sealed Ancestors are stored in co#ns
within the Church under eternal imprisonment because they are unable to be totally destroyed. The
factions following these Ancestors are still in good condition without their leaders, and they are
currently gaining strength to either save their Ancestors or destroy them.[1]

Those who are over four thousand years old from the Age of Gods are referred to as the Elder Title:
League of the Age of Gods (神代連盟（エルダータイトル）, Erudātaitoru ? ), including Trhvmn
Ortenrosse, Rizo-Waal Strout, Van-Fem and the parent of Rita Rozay-en. There are those who favored

establishing kingdoms consisting of Territories, Dead Apostles, and the Dead, and there are some
exceptional members who possess neither a Territory nor a faction. The oldest favor Territories,
whereas those who transformed from the culmination of pursuing magecraft have little interest in
such power. There are even Ancestors who are secretly biding their time in the unexplored regions of
the world and Ancestor factions akin to a family, that passes on the throne, to a successor every 500

years.

The main reason why the group remains in some form after years of repeated killing and destruction
among each other and hunts from the Church is because one Ancestor acts as the prophet. Declaring
the Rose Prophecy (薔薇の予⾔, Bara no Yogen ? ), she always foresees the death of those Ancestors
and warns them so they may prepare a successor immediately. Louvre was given the message "--
Tonight, Death will appear before thee" around three hours before his death. They are mainly non-
aggressive against one another, and there are two main factions in the present. There are those who
follow the formal King of the Dead Apostles, Trhvmn Ortenrosse, and those who follow the Princess of
the Dead Apostles, Altrouge Brunestud. But there is also one minor faction which is loyal to the White
Princess Arcueid Brunestud, and then there are those who are neutral and follow their own agendas.
They can be considered an organization with power rivaling the Church and Mage's Association.[2]

Attributes
They are very powerful beings, and many have the ability to utilize Reality Marbles. Their general
rankings are not determined exclusively by how powerful he or she is individually. Those within the
first ten ranks cannot be defeated by normal concepts, as they, themselves, are fantasy much like
members of the Phantasmal Species. Those who live in fantasy can only be defeated by fantasy that is
greater than themselves. Furthermore, for those who have reached the Ancestor class, it is possible to
exist as a phantom even after losing the physical body. Those who have completely lost their original
bodies are Nrvnqsr Chaos, Stanrobe Calhin, Night of Wallachia, Gransurg Blackmore, El Nahat, Caubac
Alcatraz, and Michael Roa Valdamjong.[3] They are, on average, capable of facing Servants in battle,
but, as both are types of beings that live in Mystery, such battles would come down to "having the
means of killing the other guy somehow."[4]

Servants will generally hold a slight advantage, barring compatibility issues, and the Knight classes,
Saber, Archer, and Lancer, will all be able to have solid fights. Though Saber's Excalibur is extremely
e"ective against those who overwhelm by material quantity and alienness, there are those capable of
surviving being hit by Excalibur-class attacks through pure endurance. At the same time, those same
ones with extreme endurance would have a tough time with Lancer's Gae Bolg.[5] ORT, to which
Earth's rules do not apply, and Primate Murder can be called in a league of their own above both
Ancestors and Servants.[6]

The qualifications to be considered part of the group are rather loose, as it includes Dead Apostles
created by Crimson Moon himself, magi who became vampires through their own magical powers, and
even blood-sucking creatures other than Dead Apostles. Although Michael Roa Valdamjong is seen as
an Ancestor, being an original one created by the White Princess, he is ranked as "Extra" outside of the
regular twenty-seven because they consider him to be a heretic who does not uphold the ideals of
regular vampires. Arcueid Brunestud considers them to be a group of twenty-eight, but the rest of the
group do not due to Roa seeking eternity outside of the partial immortality granted upon becoming a
Dead Apostle.

Aylesbury Valesti
One major event for the Ancestors is the Aylesbury Valesti (アルズベリ・バレステイン, Aruzuberi
Baresutein ? ) ritual established by Crimson Moon that involves the revival of The Dark Six.[7] It is a
grand ritual the Ancestors have been preparing for decades, and it has come together in Aylesbury
over the last ten years. It is suggested that the ritual, performed much earlier in the 1970s for
unknown reasons, resulted in the world's mana being dried up in Fate/EXTRA.[8] Due to the
development being funded and developed entirely by human means, the Mage's Association and
Church are unable to intervene until the advent of the ritual.

The ritual is the earnest desires for all Dead Apostles, and at least six Ancestors will be participating.
Those more recent ones from magus backgrounds are not able to attend, limiting it to only the very
old Dead Apostles. Only those with "original blood" will be invited, including Ortenrosse, who is running
it, Altrouge, Van-Fem, Merem Solomon, and Blackmore. As Ortenrosse is leading it, there are no
Ancestors capable of declining. Van-Fem has only provided capital without actually actively working
with it. Merem has no interest in the "old fashioned" ritual, only wishing to stop it as a member of the
Church and kill Altrouge, and before the importance of the ritual, Blackmore wishes to kill her as well.
They are both willing to work together on killing her before attempting to kill each other.
