Emiya's History

Not the Mumei (無銘, lit. "nameless"; per Extra, 銘 refers to the naming of a blade?) that was borne of society, but a disgraced, heartless executor (執行者, shikkousha?, lit. "one who enacts") who has cast aside his own name.

His memories are damaged, and his past is similarly lost. The man has forsaken morality, and scorned the bonds of affection—sneering at himself who has become as a dead man walking as he continues along his way.

Of course, should the life of a single human vary to such an extent, a reason necessarily exists.

That which abased the spirit of the man who was as the steel of a sword is said to have been a woman akin to the Holy Mother in her compassion. The price that the man came to pay in pursuing the subjugation of her Malice (魔性, masei?, lit. "demonic nature"; often used to refer to "demonic allure") was the 'disposal' of her many followers, including his own guardian and her son; by their martyrdom did he fall to the Path of the Heretics (魔道, madou?, lit. "demonic path"; in Buddhism, a walk of existence beyond the Six PathsWP, from which there can be no salvation)
