I feel it rather hard to describe how Saber and Gilgamesh are acting... |

Caster: “Her primary objective shifted from obtaining the Holy Grail for herself to simply preserving their (Caster & Shoichiro’s) short time together. To achieve this end, she has been siphoning Mana from the populace of Fuyuki City and has been fortifying her position on Mount Enzou.” Fake Assassin: “Because of his limited status, Assassin cares little for the Holy Grail, and outside of his duties to Caster, he only seeks to enjoy a decent sword fight.” Archer (possible future Shirou): “Even knowing that the Throne of Heroes was isolated from time and apace, Archer desperately came to believe that his only hope of release was to be called into an era where Emiya Shirou exists and kill his past self, creating a time paradox which could potentially erase his existence as a Counter Guardian.” Gilgamesh: “After he saw enough of the modern world he decided to cleanse it from humans since they have become weak and unworthy of his rule. On the course of the 4th Grail War he took interest in Saber and developed an obsession with her.” Zero Caster: “Like his Master, he is almost devoid of any morality, and has no interest in obtaining the Holy Grail. He enjoys offering his victims brief moments of respite, or even the hope of release or escape, before inflicting death through gruesome and horrific means.” Zero Lancer: “Lancer sees the Grail War as a miracle that will allow him to regain his pride as a knight by delivering the Grail to his master. He sees no use wishing upon the Grail as simply being summoned has already half-fulfilled his greatest desire.” Zero Rider: “He is an enormous man who has little interest in the Holy Grail and cares more about conquering the world again, especially now that he realizes the world is much bigger than he was aware of during his life.” As for the other servants, it’s not that clear what they truly wanted from the grail, but considering that most of them died horribly in regrets, it’s not a stretch to assume that they wanted to fix or redo something that is wrong in their previous lifes. Some fine examples would be Night's Rider, Berserker, and Zero Berserker

Assassin I'm not sure about. The True Assassin from the Heaven's Feel route, who is also Hassan but has a different Noble Phantasm, wants immortality, so I guess that's what they're after. Lancer just wants to serve his lord ( which means Kayneth) loyally, like a good knight should. Caster wants Jeanne, who he thinks is Saber. Also, I've always been under the impression that if any single route is "canon", persay, which is difficult if not impossible to establish, it's the Heaven's Feel True ending, where Shirou becomes a normal human and not the broken figure he is and stays with Sakura. |

CIS stands for Character-Induced Stupidity. I'm guessing in Gilgamesh's case it's a crack at his arrogance and how it can sometimes end up biting him in the arse. Gilgamesh certainly does suffer from it a lot so it's always reasonable to factor that in.

Thanks to ProfileF and Nerroth for answering most of my previous questions. ^^
I have another one...in the Unlimited Blade Works route, does Gilgamesh still want Saber? If so, does anyone know what scenes? (And yes, I'm a closet GilgameshxSaber fan and a full-on ShirouxSaber supporter...which is why I don't want to go through the entire UBW on youtube to look for GilxSab scenes, if that makes any sense...)

I think he still cared, but it was just that in between Gilgamesh being busy preparing the Holy Grail and Saber being stalled by Assassin, he just never got the chance to fully focus on Saber.
