Nero (Fate)

Nero Claudius (Japanese: ネロ・クラウディウス, Hepburn: Nero Kuraudiusu), also known as Red Saber (赤セイバー, Aka Seibā) or Saber Extra, is a character in the Fate franchise created by Type-Moon who debuted in the 2010 video game Fate/Extra and gained further popularity through her continuing appearances in the ongoing Fate/Grand Order game. She is based on the Roman emperor Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, reimagined as a female character and portrayed as a flamboyant, egotistical, yet deeply affectionate young woman. Visually, she was designed by illustrator Arco Wada. In most of her appearances, the character is a Servant participating in Holy Grail Wars or similar struggles, fighting against other Servants with their respective masters. Despite her similar looks to the first Saber servant created by Type-Moon, writer Kinoko Nasu wrote Nero to stand out with her personality. The character is voiced by Cassandra Morris in English and Sakura Tange in Japanese. Critical response to Nero was positive for her sex appeal and personality, while scholars found her to be a significant example of the Fate franchise's practice of reimagining historical figures.
