He claims that his memory is confused to the incomplete nature of his summoning, but that is only half truthful. He cannot approve of Shirou’s ideal of becoming a “Hero of justice” (正義の味方, Seigi no Mikata ?) due to his own experience, but at the same time he cannot deny it due to the same reasons. He means well and is capable of being nice, but often ends up being sarcastic, especially so when he gives advice. He doesn't lie, but he does keep secrets and tell half truths. While he is thoroughly cynical and nihilistic, he is at the same time devoted and protective, and even a little childish to the point that it makes him hard to hate. When he was fishing, he wears his signature clothing without the holy shroud and wore a red down vest jacket and a red cap hat. In Fate/hollow ataraxia, his casual attire was a plain black shirt and black trousers. His signature red overcoat is a type of holy shroud. He wears a body armor made from a special material that has yet to be discovered by mankind as of the present time. His skin, hair and eye colors are different to his younger self due to his extensive use of projection magecraft. Shirou from the Fifth Grail War would grow about 20cm as Archer, it is uncertain if his extreme height growth is caused by magecraft. Even knowing that the Throne of Heroes was isolated from time and space, Archer desperately came to believe that his only hope of release was to have himself summoned into an era where Shirou Emiya exists and kill his past self, hoping that the double paradox created by Shirou Emiya being killed before having a chance to make the contract with Alaya and that the killing was done by a Shirou Emiya who successfully made the contract with the world would create a time paradox great enough in magnitude that could potentially erase his existence as a Counter Guardian. After seeing human self-destruction and forced to oppose his own ideals countless times, he began to deny himself and his ideal. His belief that he would continue to save many people as a Heroic Spirit did happen, but it was throughīeing made to clean up after human actions and forced to take many lives to save humanity as a whole, instead of "saving everyone" - protecting humans without having to cause deaths of humans as he would have liked to. However, the “World” ironically gave him the duty as a Heroic Spirit “to slaughter all humans at a particular location when mankind is at the threshold of complete self destruction”, a “Counter Guardian”. Although he died of betrayal, he did not hate mankind. Although he desperately fought to end a war, he was in turn branded as the mastermind behind that war and subsequently executed because of the betrayal of his allies. He believed he could save both the lives of the dying people before him and save even more as a hero after his death. Confronted by a calamity which had the potential of killing one hundred people before him, he decided to "make a contract" with the World to become a hero capable of producing miracles and become a Heroic Spirit after his death. In his early thirties, he had to make a life changing decision. He later gained some understanding of such beings as targets of the Counter Force upon entering the Throne of Heroes. He at some point encountered and fought beings similar to Angra Mainyu, but he was forced to retreat when he was unable to act against them. Sometime in his twenties, he received his signature red overcoat as a gift from Ciel of the Church. He stubbornly trained himself while pursuing his dream of saving mankind, but later fell into despair upon realizing that his abilities were insufficient in fulfilling his goal. Shirou Emiya won the Holy Grail War along with his Servant Saber, eventually going on to work as aįreelance magus to pursue his dream of becoming an Ally of Justice. After the end of each of the three routes in Fate/stay night, the possibility for Shirou to become Archer still exists, but the chance of it happening is close to zero. The jewel he owns is the actual catalyst used for his summoning rather than the one that Rin still has at the time of his summoning. He is summoned because he still has the jewel pendant that Rin used to save his life after Lancer stabbed his heart. He acts as a Counter Guardian for the world as payment for the contract. His true identity is that of Shirou Emiya (衛宮 士郎, Emiya Shirō ?) of an alternate timeline from that of Fate/stay night who made a contract with the world and became the Heroic Spirit EMIYA (エミヤ, ?). Archer is not a proper Heroic Spirit in the sense of other heroes.
