I once planned to burn down your Fantasy Tree before I return to Britain... but when you spoke about that, I can only kill you. Everyone can become a god? Which means no one can be killed? Spare me. Where's the fun in that?—Beryl as he betrayed Kirschtaria and backstabbed him
Beryl Gut is a major antagonist in Fate/Grand Order.
He is a former member of the A-Team of Chaldea and a member of the Crypters, until he betrayed and killed Kirschtaria Wodime to pursue his own agenda.
However, unlike all the others, even before joining force with the Alien God, Beryl is shown to be a sadisic, obsessive and treacherous man who has a backstory as a murderous psychopath, making him arguably the most deranged, unsympathetic and dishonorable member of the Crypters. He also shows an unhealthy obssession towards Mash Kyrielight and intentionally trying to make her his possession.
He is voiced by Haruki Ishiya, who previously voiced Mordred in the Drama CD of Fate/Prototype.
His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Evil?[]
In General[]
- Unlike his fellow Crypters, Beryl lacks any well-meaning goals and/or tragic background, being a sadistic and hedonistic psychopath who only seeks to cause as much death and suffering as he can without any real end goal, putting his own sadistic amusement above anything else, being willing to change sides whenever it's convenient for him and being unrepentantly aware of how evil he is without any desire of ever becoming a better person.
- Before entering to the A-Team in Chaldea, he was an infamous serial killer nicknamed Werewolf by the Clock Tower. He was so feared and reviled that many refused to work with him due to his inhumane sadism.
- He has a creepy obsession towards Mash Kyrielight from the moment he first saw her, with her being the main reason why he accepted being revived by the Alien God. Said affections, while genuine to an extent, not only make him an ephebophile but also are expressed by hurting her.
- Overall, his actions are so horrible that they make him earn the ire of many characters, specially from Mash, with very few showing any tollerance towards his cruelty.
- Despite the astronimical heinous standard of Fate/Grand Order, a game full of cataclysmic threats, mass murderers, tyrants and many other kinds of large-scale villains, Beryl stands out for managing to destroy the Atlantic Lostbelt with very few resources and commiting the unique crime of putting hundreds of humans from the British Lostbelt in a fate worse than death through his variant of the Moss curse.
Background[]
- During his childhood, Beryl would request his mother to teach him Magecraft, specifically magecraft tailored for assassination, torture and murder.
- Once his mother had nothing else to teach him, he killed her by gouging her eyes out before moving to the city.
- He became an infamous serial killer and assassin in the World of Magecraft who kills for fun, to the point where he's considered by some to be a "disgrace to humanity."
- Upon joing the Chaldea Security Organization, he quickly grew obsessed with Mash, who at the time was a blank slate, and while he desired to protect her, he also intended to hurt her as a means of showing his "love".
- One year prior to the game's events, he broke into Mash's treatment room and broke her fingers one by one, because he believed that one can't know what is beautiful until it has been blighted. He was caught and driven out by Doctor Roman, then detained and forbidden entry afterward. Beryl says it's been one of his happiest memories.
Fate/Grand Order[]
Atlantis: Ancient Ocean of the Dreadnought Gods[]
- In a meeting with Wodime, he lied about having destroyed his Lostbelt as the latter requested, saying that he manipulated the Knights of Round Table from there to chop down its Fantasy Tree.
Olympus: Interstellar Mountainous City[]
- During the events of the Olympus chapter, Beryl tries to burn down the Atlantic Lostbelt's Fantasy Tree, Magellan, but changes his mind upon learning about Wodime's plan to turn the entire humanity into immortal gods so that everyone can live happily forever.
- After Kirschtaria and Caenis' defeat at the hands of Chaldea crew, Beryl seized the chance and betrayed Kirschtaria, revealing his true nature and saying he is now hunted down by the King of British Lostbelt, who discovered Beryl's treachery that doomed their land through manipulating their residents to destroy their own Fantasy Tree.
- During his confrotation with Wodime, when the latter tries to block an incoming Rhongomyniad fired by Morgan, Beryl seizes the chance and backstabs him, revealing his plan to betray Kirschtaria all along and calling Kirschtaria's plan as boring.
Avalon le Fay: Fae Round Table Domain[]
- Getting bored of how relatively calm his Lostbelt is, especially since he is tasked by Wodime to destroy the Tree of Emptiness, Beryl decides to summon a Servant with the condition that they can "break the world".
- he lied about angering the inhabitants of his Lostbelt as a way of covering up his and Morgan's plan to get close to Kirschtaria so that she could use him as a beacon to aim Rhongomyniad at Olympus's Fantasy Tree.
- Although he forms a master-servant duo with Baobhan Sith during the chapter's events, even telling her stories about Proper Human History, it's only out of mutual sadism as he eventually would trick her into using the Fetch magecraft for him knowing she would suffer the side effect of having her soul rot.
- During his time in the British Lostbelt as Morgan's husband, he quickly earns the ire of its inhabitants due to his hedonistic tendencies, sadism and cruelty.
- He alongside Baobhan Sith opens the New Darlington's Slaughterhouse Theatre, where humans without fairy masters are sent to fight against each other and those who lose are murdered as punishment.
- He secretly collaborates with Aurora, spreading lies through Fairy Britain in order to incite a rebellion against Morgan's reign and conducts illegal experiments with the Moss curse to create a variant capable of affecting humans, leaving them in an state of pure agony, and unleashes said variant on the kingdom causing it to infect various humans.
- During the ensuing chaos, he, in his wolf form, kills a vengeful Scandinavia Peperocino, only get infected by Moss curses the latter absorbed by killing 300 infected humans.
- During the Calamities' final rampage upon Fairy Brtain, shortly after Barghest's death, he attacks Chaldea one last time, hellbent in killing the protagonist and take Mash for himself one and for all.
- While is death is extremely gruesome and painful, it is deserved due to the many heinous crimes he commited.
What Prevents Him from Being Pure Evil?[]
- Despite being extremily possessive and being willing to hurt her, he genuinely loves Mash, having refused to engrave Sirius Light on her because of her low lifespan and expressing a desire to protect her. In his death, even Mash acknoledges that what he clains to feel for her is indeed real.
- He has a genuine friendship with Kadoc.
- His final moments, while played for karma and satisfcation for all his heinous crimes, are also slightly played for sympathy as after he confesses his love for Mash, she acknoledges that his feelings for her are real, yet she refuses to understand them as he dies with one final serene smile on his face.
