Character Background
The Lostbelt Queen who rules over Faerie Britain.
Originally named Viviane, she was created by the planet in 4,000 BC to be the savior of Britain. She was taken in and raised by the Rain Clan in Orkney.[3] One day, she received the memories of Proper Human History Ruler Morgan le Fay.[6][7] During her 16th birthday, the Rain Clan was massacred overnight by an alliance of the Wind, Earth, Fang, and Wing clans. They were killed for protecting the Fairy of Paradise. In fulfilling her role as savior, she used the name Aesc the Savior as an alias (after the world tree of Norse myth) given to her by her adoptive mother after Orkney's destruction.
For 3600 years, Aesc dispelled the Calamities that appear every 100 years, and the Great Calamities that appear every thousand. After defeating one of them, Aesc would hide in a cave and rest in a coffin for 20 years. She also fought alongside her retainers Ector the Immortal, Grímr the Wise, and the Knight of Beginnings, Totorot. Her legends have continued into the British Lostbelt's modern day.
Aesc was originally created by the Inner Sea of the Planet to force the Fairies of Britain to repent and complete their duty of forging the Holy Sword via Avalon Le Fae. Aesc is a "Caster", the one who channels the voice of Paradise. Due to this, most fairies in Britain hate everything about her. After being betrayed too many times during her various attempts to save Britain, Morgan decided to dominate Britain instead. In response to her failure, the planet created a new fairy, Artoria, to fulfill Morgan's old mission.
Thousands of years ago, she had received the memories of her Proper Human History counterpart (who Beryl Gut had summoned when he first arrived in the Lostbelt, and she rayshifted her memories back in time) and had used them to change the Lostbelt's history such that it would create a world for her to rule. This was one of the causes for Morgan refusing to complete her duty to forge Excalibur, as this would mean the denial of the Lostbelt's existence and therefore the end of the Britain that she loved and wished to preserve.
She established an authoritarian monarchy in the Lostbelt Britain and has made the fairies suffer under her oppressive rule for 2000 years. As the highest-ranking fairy, she is a genius mage who has mastered Rhongomyniad, the Lance that Shines to the Ends of the World, as a form of Magecraft.
Morgan plans to use the magical energy of the Great Calamity to destroy proper history and turn the entire world into Faerie Britain. This will kill all the fairies outside her Camelot as well, but new fairies will always be born. She cares not for the people of Britain, only for her kingdom itself.
Morgan's appearance in her previous life doesn't look too different from Artoria's. However, as she grows, her appearance also changes in her current state. She now has white hair, blue eyes, and a revealing black and blue outfit, which in turn makes her look similar to Artoria Alter, only more slender, taller, and with paler skin.
Her hair is silver, almost luminescent, flowing straight down her back and framing her face with blunt bangs that highlight her piercing blue eyes and fair complexion. She is adorned in a complex, layered gown that combines high fantasy with gothic couture. The dress has a high, black collar reminiscent of a ruff, and a bodice that is both sleek and adorned with intricate patterns, giving it an armored appearance. This bodice extends into a plunging neckline, bordered by striking blue accents that mirror the color of her eyes. The sleeves of her gown are detached, flowing from her shoulders and draping elegantly down her arms, with transparent, wing-like extensions. Her gown's skirt is long and split, revealing the front of her legs, and cascades into a train behind her. The color scheme of her dress transitions from the black and intricate blues of the bodice to the stark white of the skirt. The hem of the gown is adorned with darker, feather-like details, reinforcing the birdlike motif suggested by her sleeves.
A cold, ruthless queen who trusts only in her own power. It isn't that she never trusts others, but they cannot be relied upon. Morgan's first priority is the orderly rule of the British Isles.
She dislikes humans, faeries, weakness, ugliness, equality, and peace. From the perspective of her subjects, she is evil incarnate.
Yet, she dislikes them not because she finds them needless, but because they are incompatible with her. To Morgan, control is just. Anything which threatens that control is evil. Therefore, Morgan's personal preferences are unrelated to her standards of good and evil as a sovereign. Even if she personally finds something distasteful, she will openly acknowledge and tolerate it if it is necessary to her rule. Her absolute, extreme values make her seem like a heartless machine.
That said, Morgan does have a heart. She is simply no longer capable of strongly feeling happiness and sadness, hatred and rage, or love and romance. After so many years of single-mindedly protecting Britain, her heart has gone cold.
Except for one last flicker of passion in her chest— a long-held yearning of her past self. Her goal to control Britain is the sole wish that still drives her.
...It is not a human-like dream from her youth, but rather simply what she was born to do. This is a truth she learned during her long, long journey.
Morgan of Proper Human History is a storybook villain with an infamously amorous, brutal, and impulsive character, but this Morgan had those aspects weathered away by the passage of time, leaving her a tranquil, intelligent woman—a frustrated, or perhaps reformed, nation-ruining beauty.
Everything, from sensual pleasures, to the thrill of hurting someone, to the exhilaration of self-fulfillment, is, in Morgan's own words, "Boring. I tire of such things."
However, her qualities are simply subdued, not gone. If she were to find herself in dire enough circumstances, her old wicked ways and preferences may reemerge.
Morgan has adopted Baobhan Sith as her daughter, but she only ever praises her when Baobhan Sith torments the weak. However, she genuinely cares for her. Their relationship is exploited when an incident involving Spriggan has Baobhan hostage, causing Morgan to be caught off guard and left vulnerable to an attack from Spriggan's accompanying guards.
She secretly inherited all the memories of the Proper Human History Morgan through the machinations of the latter, and with them the knowledge that within the Lostbelt she could rewrite Britain's history so she could succeed in ruling Britain where her Proper Human History self failed. Being the ruler of Britain is her whole existence, and without it she believes that she would be worthless. Though once she used to be a kind queen ruling alongside Uther, repeated betrayals and rebellions have long since left her bitter and disillusioned. As such, she is convinced that only by ruling the Lostbelt as a tyrant can she keep Britain from being destroyed, either unaware of the fact that Britain's savior was never meant to rule Britain at all and that her kingdom could only be saved through its unmaking. or simply unwilling to accept it lest she be forced to destroy the country she loves.
When summoned she regards her master as her husband/wife, a position she defines as being that of total dedication and servitude towards her. She agrees to aid Chaldea when summoned by Ritsuka Fujimaru, but adds that she will always hate Proper Human History. Despite this, she eventually admits that she has become fond of Ritsuka over time and views them as her spouse in earnest. She also acknowledges Ritsuka's "hard work" done to further Chaldea's goals, and presents the master with 100,000,000 QP.

Alignment: Lawful-Evil
Gender: Female
Old English faerie lore tells of Morgan as a "benevolent faerie of the lake," which was later adapted into Arthurian legends as a villainess opposing King Arthur.
On the other hand, she is conflated with the faerie Viviane who bestowed the sacred sword upon King Arthur and guarded him after this death.
In Proper Human History, Morgan was the daughter of Tintagel, the fae child conceived by Igraine, the progeny of the British Isles...and later, Altria's stepsister, as Morgan's mother Igraine wed King Uther.
Altria was designed as a human king as part of a human stratagem.
Morgan, after learning that she was the true ruler meant to inherit the Mystics of the British Isles, came to despise King Uther, her sister Altria, and all humans who refused to swear fealty to her. This hatred was a major source of destruction in Britain.
Morgan had many children who joined the Round Table: Gawain, Gaheris, Gareth, and Agravain were her children by the King of Orkney, while Mordred was a homunculus meant to defeat Altria and created from both Morgan and Altria's blood and essence.
