Characters

As of November 2019, you may find the community-maintained TZKS Wiki more helpful than this old page, but of course, it also contains more recent spoilers, so be careful.

Last updated: April 28th, 2015.
Added Jesenia Sebolt, Nico Sebolt, Perla Sebolt, Manuel Delaguna, Fuad Saqqaf, Marosso, and Melissa Mallory.
THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS. It's meant to serve as a refresher and index page. If you are looking for a list of all servants and their corresponding abilities, check the Abilities page.

(Note: “Named” refers to when a character's name is first used. It is not necessarily when a character is first referenced. Helen was referenced as early as Pg. 67 and Geoffrey as early as Pg. 36, but they neither appeared nor had their names revealed. I decided not to include "first referenced" links, because I wanted to leave that just for the folks who like to reread.)
