A Caster-class Servant.
A young man with long white hair, draped in a black robe and holding an ominous staff.
He refers to himself as “Watashi” and speaks in an overly formal tone, brimming with intellectual curiosity.
His favorite food is Spanish cuisine, and his hobby is reading other people’s palms.
Michael Scott was a medieval European astronomer and astrologer, born in Scotland and active at the Spanish court.
However, some scholars disapproved of his attitude—absorbing even pagan knowledge beyond the boundaries of faith—and denounced him as a “black magician.”
After his death, for reasons unknown, his reputation as a practitioner of black magic grew increasingly exaggerated through oral tradition.
The legends surrounding him included such outlandish tales as defeating demons to gain prophetic powers, summoning spirits, turning the evil witch Long Meg and her daughters to stone, and splitting the great hill known as Airdon Hill into three parts—all utterly fantastical.
In particular, the widespread image of Michael Scott as a black magician is said to have been greatly influenced by Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy. In the Inferno section of the poem, Michael Scott appears as an evil black magician condemned to Hell.
Thanks to the Innocent Monster skill, his attire has taken on the grandiose, ominous appearance typical of black magicians in dark fantasy works.
He harbors a one-sided grudge against Dante Alighieri, who helped cement this mistaken image of him in the public mind.
Ideally, he’d want to beat up Dante on the spot upon meeting him, but he is an astronomer. He cannot help but marvel at the beautiful depictions of the stars in the Divine Comedy, and he acknowledges Dante Alighieri’s sensibility as a poet.
Thus, despite his resentment, he finds himself unable to truly hate him—a complicated relationship indeed.
In battle, he wields necromantic powers, summoning spirits and unleashing dark flames and lightning, embodying the classic black magician archetype.
His Noble Phantasm is “O Sacred Hill, Split into Three (Broken Airdon Hill).”
This terrain‑specific Noble Phantasm is a glorified version of the later legend that “when the black magician Michael waved his staff, the hill split into three.”
