| “ | I'm very "concernnunos" about this dangerous battle, so I'll retreat to Avalon. The Holy Sword must have already ended the battle. This can't "continnunos" forever... We're "donnunos" for. | „ |
| ~ Cernunnos's way of speaking according to Kinoko Nasu. |
Cernunnos, also known as the Enshrined Deity and the Beast God, is the overarching protagonist of Fate series. He was the Celtic deity of wilderness who retreated to Avalon following the Sefar's invasion and the subsequent end of the Age of Gods.
His Lostbelt version serves as a major antagonist of Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt. Specifically, he is the overarching protagonist of Faerie Round Table Dominion: Avalon le Fae.
He is also the main antagonist of the 2023 summer event and being partially fused with Tam Lin Tristan, making her summer version a 4-star Pretender-class Servant known as Cait Cu Cernpriestess. This indirectly marks his debut as a playable character.
Overview[]
Cernunnos was originally the patron deity of the English Lostbelt, who was betrayed and brutally murdered by its immortal inhabitants. At first, Cernunnos did not appeared in person, remaining dead in the backstory mostly and being the source of the Calamity of Dunwich, though Kirschtaria Wodime mentioned him indirectly as a force to be reckoned with and must be stopped before it rose.
This, however, changed until the chapter's Part 3, where he (or more precisely, his souless corpse) became its main antagonist due to the effects of Morgan's tragic death, causing the calamities gone wild under the Vile King's manipulation. In Cernunnos's case , he transformed into the Great Calamity of Curse after Tam Lin Tristan brought him back as an undead monster.
After his revival, Cernunnos became a mindless monster as his mind was gone and is possibly controlled by a now-corrupted Baobhan Sith as his new core. All it remained is his instinct and hatred of faeries. He thus went on a mindless rampage against the immoral British faeries to destroy them all.
Biography[]
Personality[]
The Lostbelt version of Cernunnos was originally a kind and reasonable deity like his Proper Human History counterpart, eagerly trying to discipline the faeries of the British Lostbelt. Nevertheless, their ingratitude and selfishness led to the tragic fate of his wife and later, himself, which nullified all of his kindness through his death and drove him into a souless corpse seeping curses to the entire land.
After his resurrection, Cernunnos became a mindless and vengeful undead monster filled with nothing but his own instinct and hatred of faeries that turned against him, just like how they turned against Morgan again and again. Eventually, all Cernunnos remained now was a souless corpse that began his mindless revenge against the horrible faeries and his path to destroy the whole land.
Trivia[]
- Cernunnos roughly stands over 2 kilometers, making him the largest Fate/Grand Order boss thus far.
- During the fight against Cernunnos, the Shadow Boarder keeps spinning around him, with Cernunnos himself being presented as a stationary 3-D model. As the Servants's positions remain largely static in the gameplay, this scene is infamously misinterpreted, with some players thought it was Cernunnos himself who was spinning in their perspective, not the Shadow Boarder. This misinterpretation has since gone memetic.
- Amusingly, as a reference of this misintepretation, the Noble Phantasm of Cait Cu Cernpriestess actually does feature Cernunnos HIMSELF spinning (for real, this time) while firing lasers from his eye.
- According to Kinoko Nasu, Cernunnos is designed to be as huggable and adorable as possible, like a plushy toy, in order to signify he is originally a kind and friendly figure.
