Known Sabers

• Details are unknown for the Saber class Servants summoned during the First and Second Wars.
• The Saber Class Servant summoned during the Third War, briefly shown in Fate/hollow ataraxia, is an unknown Heroic Spirit that was split into two unique Servants summoned by a pair of twin Edelfelt sisters. Due to their innate Sorcery Trait, Ore Scales, they were to summon two aspects of the same Heroic Spirit and utilize them separately during the War. The recreation of the Third Holy Grail War in hollow ataraxia is imperfect, so they were not represented as they actually appeared in the War. The Servants are represented by Saber and Saber Alter, and their Masters are represented by Tohsaka Rin and Matou Sakura.
• The Saber Class Servant summoned during the Fourth War in Fate/Zero is King Arthur summoned by Emiya Kiritsugu.
