    No, I remembered him. That's why I said "only one so far". (Unless there's some other Viking Berserker I'm forgetting?)

    Beowulf would technically count, since he came from a area that would become Sweden

    ...He isn't? I thought for sure he was (he even gave up his Grand status to help out the protagonists in Babylon). If he isn't though, Cain (the original murderer) would be an obvious second choice.

    He gave up his Grand saint graph iirc to give us a chance to kill tiamat
    But I'm not sure thats permanent

    His position as Grand and his super-duper Saint Graph are separate things.

    He did, however, give up on both to make Tiamat killable

    I'm confused as to why he had to give up the title in the first place. Isn't fighting things like the Beasts in exactly what the Grands are for?

    Because he joined you. Grands don't belong to people.

    That is why you will never roll a grand

    But if it's his job to fight Beasts, why does it suddenly count as "joining you" just because you were also fighting it?

    That's what I don't get

    unless he just decided from the get-go to join you and they're actually unrelated

    Because he wasn't summoned by the World.
    He made personal choice to join Chaldea.

    If his job is fighting against a Beast, it's fighting against one when the World tells him its time to fight one.
    He went against that.

    I'm sure one day we will able to experience granblue levels of grinding for a chance of getting a grand for the measly cost of the FGO equivalent of 3 gold bars.

    King Hassan worries too much about his granddaughter so he decided to stay, the world has nothing on that

    I thought it was an interesting contrast with Holmes who first showed up someplace somewhere we still don't know, but had his Saint Graph changed by the world (maybe) after he chose to join Chaldea last night.

    Ahh yes, more dungeon crawling. I'd like to go through a Tower of Druaga/Tetracyclic Tower again...
