Odysseus

Appearances

Parameters

Skills

• Riding (A): Can command any beast or vehicle short of Phantasmal Species; suited to his role as Rider of stratagem.
• Charisma (B): Natural leadership that rallied Achaean kings and kept Ithaca loyal through twenty years of absence.
• Cunning (A++): The defining skill of Odysseus—deception, planning, and psychological warfare elevated to a Noble Skill.
• Magic Resistance (B): Resists curses and magecraft; earned through surviving Circe, the Underworld, and divine trials.

Noble Phantasms

• Troia Hippos · Anti-Fortress (B+): The Trojan Horse as a conceptual Noble Phantasm—a stratagem that infiltrates and destroys enemy strongholds from within by disguising destruction as gift or surrender.
• Metoiketer · Anti-Unit (A): A spear born from his identity as a wandering hero; strikes with the accumulated cunning of one who survived every trap fate set.

Personality

Calm, articulate, and perpetually calculating. He prefers victory through wit over brute force and treats war as a puzzle to be solved. Beneath the strategist lies a man deeply devoted to home and family.

Story in Fate

Summoned as a Rider who embodies stratagem rather than chariot charge, Odysseus in Fate/Grand Order appears during Greek Lostbelt and related events as the hero whose mind won Troy and whose endurance survived the Odyssey. His Noble Phantasm Troia Hippos literalizes the most famous deception in Western literature.

Relationships

• Penelope — Wife whose faithfulness he tested upon return to Ithaca.
• Telemachus — Son he reunited with after twenty years.
• Achilles — Fellow Achaean hero at Troy; Odysseus retrieved him for the war.
• Circe and Calypso — Divine figures who detained him on the homeward journey.
• Chiron — Shared connection through Greek heroic education, though Odysseus was not his pupil.

Trivia

• Troia Hippos turns the Trojan Horse from myth into an Anti-Fortress Noble Phantasm.
• Fate emphasizes Cunning as an A++ skill rather than raw combat stats.
• His design often includes armor referencing both Trojan War and nautical Odyssey imagery.
