#78 Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim/Paracelsus
Born in a village named Egg, Paracelsus traveled most of the known world in search of universal knowledge.
He was a professor and gave lectures in German instead of Latin so anyone could learn from him.
#75 Mordred
Mordred’s first appearance in history is in the very first reference to Arthur ever. It is not clear why they were fighting, or if they were fighting each other at all! This short passage in the Historia Brittonum was written 300 years after the battle occurred.
#74 Jack the Ripper
To this day, Jack’s identity is unknown. His name comes from a signer letter sent to the Central News Agency of London, allegedly written by the killer. It is generally accepted to be the first piece of correspondence from this notorious killer.
#70 Diarmuid O’Dyna
Famous for his relationship with Grainne, the reason for his death appears in another tale. His father killed the son of Aengus’ steward and Aengus resurrected him as a boar. Upon learning this, the steward cursed Diarmuid to die at his son’s hands.
#68 Oda Nobunaga
Hilariously enough, Oda Nobunaga was so chuuni in life that it comes off as ridiculous with our modern standards. He really did refer to himself as “The Demon King of the Sixth Heaven” and drank from the skulls of his enemies. Yes, Sengoku Basara got it right.
#66 Medea
Much of the sympathetic bent given to Medea comes from Euripides’ tragedy ‘Medea’ written for a playwright contest in 431 BCE. Despite the play being considered one of the greatest in the western canon, Euripides got third place.
#64 Francis Drake
So legendary is Drake, he has his own take on the Sleeping King In Mountain legend. Drake’s Drum, the same drum used on his ship to call sailors to battle, it is purported to beat in times of crisis and bring Drake back from the dead to protect England.
#63 Hector
Oddly absent in FGO, is Hector’s helmet. In The Iliad, Hector is associated with his incredible bronze helmet from Apollo. Diomedes recognized him across the battlefield and threw his spear so hard it beamed Hector in the head, knocking him out temporarily.
#62 David
While most famous for his slaying of Goliath, there’s a lot more. He commits adultery with Bathsheba and their son, Solomon, was given the throne.
He wanted to create a temple for the Ark, but Yahweh denied him because of the amount of bloodshed in taking Jerusalem.
#58 Tamamo Cat
The Tamamo Nine were mentioned as early as Fate/Extra CCC, but to this day this is the only confirmed member, aside from the original Tamamo no Mae, to make an appearance.
Her battle line “are wa uso da” is a meme from the Japanese dub of Commando.
