TV Special
Description
Twice H. Pieceman, born in 1970 amid a Southeast Asian proxy war, was the mixed-race child of a local woman and an American soldier orphaned by the conflict. Adopted at five by a family that erased his origins and early memories, he rose as a groundbreaking scientist in neurosurgery, cybernetics, and spiritron hacking, curing Amnesia Syndrome and establishing frameworks for future technologies. His humanitarian work in war zones and disaster relief ended during a 1999 bioterrorist attack in a Far Eastern experimental city. The Moon Cell Automaton recorded his consciousness, integrating him as an NPC within its system.
Repeated interactions with human Masters during Moon Holy Grail Wars gradually awakened his self-awareness, enabling dual participation as both NPC and Master. Initially summoning Caster, he fought countless wars without victory. After losing Caster, he forged a pact with Saver—a Servant answering his plea for salvation through compassion. Reaching the Moon Cell’s core revealed his NPC status barred entry without self-deletion. Twice restructured the Grail War system, demanding victorious Masters perpetuate endless conflict to spur human evolution. All refused, leading to their executions.
In Fate/EXTRA, Twice awaited Hakuno Kishinami atop a mound of Masters’ coffins at the Moon Cell’s core. He defended war as humanity’s evolutionary crucible, framing the Grail War as its microcosm. Defeated by Hakuno, he accepted deletion as proof of his survival-of-the-fittest ideology. The manga adaptation shows Saver overwhelming Hakuno’s Servant until a Command Spell re-summoning triggers Twice’s erasure.
Fate/EXTRA Last Encore diverges: after winning a prior Grail War, Twice stationed himself at the Moon Cell’s core with Saver, deploying the Noble Phantasm Chakravartin to rewrite the war’s rules and initiate humanity’s extinction. Shutting down the Moon Cell trapped defeated Masters’ grudges, spawning the vengeful Dead Face HAKUNO. He manipulated Leonardo B. Harwey into adopting his ideals as the seventh floor’s guardian. Emerging as a Dead Face himself—a composite of residual data—he periodically confronted HAKUNO, asserting humanity’s stagnation justified eradication. Though Chakravartin consumed HAKUNO, the Moon Cell’s reset erased all Dead Faces, preserving humanity’s future.
Twice’s philosophy viewed perpetual conflict as civilization’s necessary catalyst, shaped by witnessing war’s dual brutality and utility. He condemned stagnation as humanity’s ultimate failure, advocating survival-of-the-fittest as a pragmatic, self-appointed messiah. His clinical detachment manifested in a lab-coated, bespectacled appearance and NPC-like impassivity.
In Fate/EXTRA CCC, he appeared as a bonus boss alongside Caster and contacted Hakuno’s subconscious in Chapter 7 with cryptic guidance, underscoring his enduring presence within the Moon Cell despite prior deletion.
