Saber
Last updated 2026-03-07
Saber, real name Altria Pendragon,[1] is a playable character in Honkai: Star Rail from Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works, introduced as a collaboration and crossover character between TYPE-MOON, ufotable, and HoYoverse.
The solitary Heroic Spirit traverses the long night of fate. The banner of the round table remains unfurled in a dream. Alas, the knight-king of Camelot has yet to reach that ever distant utopia.
Though still a young maiden, she has heeded the call for this most unique iteration of the Holy Grail War. With the Sword in the Stone offering its choice once more, how shall she shatter the illusions of the past?
"The wishes I did not fulfil will end here."[9]
