[FDJ]Chapter 101: Servant Profile: Rider(Baldwin I)

Real Name: Baldwin of Boulogne

Introduction: Baldwin of Boulogne, also known as Baldwin I, was the first Count of Edessa and the King of Jerusalem. He was a leader in the First Crusade. Baldwin was the youngest son in his family and was appointed as the lord of the County of Verdun in 1096. However, he soon joined his brother Godfrey's crusade and became one of its most distinguished commanders.

In July 1100, Godfrey passed away, and at that time, the Latin Patriarch and other leaders of the Crusade attempted to transfer control of the Holy City, Jerusalem, to Bohemond I. Godfrey's followers swiftly gathered the city's treasures and urged Baldwin to return to Jerusalem and claim his right of succession. As Bohemond was captured during a battle, Baldwin faced no obstacles on his way to Jerusalem. Therefore, on December 25th, Baldwin I was crowned as the King of Jerusalem. Over the next decade, Baldwin conquered cities such as Arsuf, Caesarea, Acre, and Beirut. On April 2nd, 1118, at the age of 53, Baldwin I suffered a relapse of an old injury and died while on the way to attack Cairo. His body was returned to the Holy City and buried beside his brother Godfrey.

Noble Phantasm: A+

=====================================================

[Class Skills]

Magic Resistance: B+

Ability to nullify magic attacks. As a devout Christian king, he has a higher resistance against heretical doctrines. Can nullify magic with up to three verses, with a particularly strong effect against black magic.

Riding: B+

Riding ability gained as a Rider class. Can handle most means of transportation better than an average person, but cannot ride mythical or divine beasts. By manifesting kingship, one can ride a chariot and wage war on the battlefield.

=====================================================

[Personal Skills]

Divine Protection of Faith: A

A skill possessed only by those who sacrificed themselves for a particular religious belief. Although it is called divine protection, it does not come from a supreme being's grace. Rather, it is the absolute certainty of the self, both in spirit and body, generated by self-confidence.

Fights to the death against pagans.

King of the Holy City: EX

Under normal circumstances, this skill can only be held at the A rank, but upon being summoned to the Holy City of Jerusalem, this ability receives a significant boost.

Baldwin I gains a king's authority similar to "Imperial Privilege." All attributes will not decrease for any reason, and his magic consumption and the duration of negative status effects decrease significantly. The other effects are unknown, but it is speculated that this skill gradually weakens when far from the Holy City.

Can materialize kingship in actual combat, obtaining an incredibly powerful Crusader chariot that alone is enough to display the fervor of an army of religious martyrs.

Military Tactics: B

Not one-on-one combat, but rather intuitive tactical sense on battlefields with a larger number of mobilized troops. Can skillfully command large armies in battle and gains numerical bonuses.

Adelaide's Treasure: C-

Derived from Baldwin's third wife, Lady Adelaide of Sicily. Through marriage, Baldwin acquired a vast fortune from Lady Adelaide. In his later years, he decisively "followed" the advice of clerics and divorced Adelaide in an attempt to alleviate his sins.

Baldwin is an extremely calm politician in both warfare and personal marriages, viewing women as exploitable resources with no emotional attachment. In practical combat, he does not encounter difficulties due to financial issues. This skill has almost no practical value.

=====================================================

[Noble Phantasms]

The Endless Crusades - Crusade to the Limits

Rank: A+

Type: Anti-Fortress Noble Phantasm

Attack Range: 1~499

Maximum Number of Targets: 800

The loyal king who founded the Kingdom of Jerusalem declared this Noble Phantasm. He once led a devout army to the holy city of Jerusalem and obtained the supreme crown. This unique worldly authority combines the achievements of Rider Baldwin I's campaigns and takes the form of the strongest chariot on the battlefield. With it, he can single-handedly recreate the unstoppable military might of the Crusades.

The chariot embodies the ultimate magical power of faith and warfare, releasing its full divine attributes. Any infidels attempting to halt the progress of the Crusade will be crushed under the divine light of its wheels.

Lance of Longinus (Fake)

Rank: -

It is not the true holy spear that wounded Jesus, so its true rank cannot be measured. However, this imitation, blessed with a true cross, possesses a rank no lower than A in terms of its power. It also has a special efficacy against heretical doctrines of a high rank. When Rider Baldwin I manifests, he claims all Noble Phantasms as his own. If it is targeted by an illusionary Noble Phantasm attack of the same rank or higher, this spear will be precisely destroyed.

Spear of Longinus

Rank: A

Type: Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm

Attack Range: 1~99

Maximum Number of Targets: 10

As it is not a genuine article, its combat effectiveness is limited and falls far short of the original. However, this also allows for the concentration of its power on a single line, increasing its threat in one-on-one combat. It will invariably strike enemies deemed heretical with a high probability of hitting vital points. Even against demonic beasts, there is a great chance of a one-hit kill.

The effectiveness of the protection granted by this Noble Phantasm depends on whether the target is the principal enemy or not. It opposes the will of the spear and inflicts damage on the user when used against devout believers, leading to the destruction of the spear itself.

Additionally, caution must be exercised when using this Noble Phantasm in confrontation against other Noble Phantasms, as the inherent instability of the weapon poses significant risks.
