Guts is the epitome of being a Berserker (in addition to the Berserker armor....).
I'd probably give him.... EX rank. and B++ (+ modifier only applies to supernatural beings, namely demons) strength. I prefer the messier Apocrypha where you can summon more than seven Servants....

Yeah, and he's really the only "good" mage from history. Anyone else would have to be like Bluebeard, in that they aren't known as being magicians but could be tweaked to be one.

They might in the Moon Cell continuity. The main Fate verse seems to be partial to Hassan, however.
In addition, I'm not sure those guys have been real people (or possibly real people anyway, legends and myth works, but fairy tales and pure fiction don't). If they could conceivably have been real people, it shouldn't matter if their skills were real or not. As long as they're chronicled as having those skills, they will have them. I noticed how at least two Casters have been writers though (probably due to how difficult it is to cast Caster). Which makes me wonder what it would be like if somehow H.P. Lovecraft became a Caster. There's also at least one instance where Caster has been a concept. |

Well duh. Of course I read your post. I even took the effort to quote it. It would be dumb not to read it (unless what you said above is sarcasm directed at me).

My point is, when it comes to Fate universe, you don’t have to be extremely picky coz they can just change any historical/legendary/fictional figure to fit the criteria of either servants or just for the lulz (Arthur-> a girl, Medusa -> purple-haired chick who get Pegasus as a gift from the gods (?), Sasaki Kojiro -> just a fictional figure compared to the likes of Medusa, etc). So, when Sheba asked this: I’d say it’s possible especially if the writer wants it .

See, if I choose actual historical, mythical and legendary figures, I would have gone with
Saber: The Emperor Charlemagne. Have the sword Joyeuse and his Twelve Peers. Rider: El Cid. His sword the Tizona and his horse Babieca. He would provide a nice foil to Charlemagne as being a little more Christian than Charlemagne have been in real life. Lancer: Cú Chulainn, I have a reason to recast him as Lancer. Archer: Houyi, this one is tricky, it have been either him or Ulysse, hero of Homer's Odyssey. Berserker: Samson. Assassin: The Beast of Gevaudan. I would have tweaked the legend into that of a werewolf. Caster: Scáthach. This is begging for a showdown between master and student filled with manly tears. |

Well, he does show up in Fate/Extra. I dunno how popular Robin Hood is outside the UK, though. Also, I suspect that many people in the US would have issues with him because he was basically a socialist, and the US considers socialism as an unforgivable thing....

If I'm remembering it correctly a servant in the holy grail war only needs to exist as a hero in the aggregated conscience of humanity, he doesn't have to be based on a real person that existed.
