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.)
