Overseer
The Overseer of the Holy Grail War is a position of impartial judge to preside over the workings of the Holy Grail War. The position is also held by the Ruler-Class Servant when summoned in a proper Holy Grail War. Due to the Holy Grail War being named after the Holy Grail, the Holy Church will inevitably become involved with the proceedings. They cannot allow a treasure bearing its name, even if they are certainly fakes, to be utilized by Magi without intervening. With both the agreement of the Mage's Association and founders of the Holy Grail War, they act as impartial judges presiding over the seven Masters & provide resources for the Concealment of Mystery due to the nature of the battles between Servants. Church Overseers often come in pairs, with a master & apprentice, with one of them usually being an executor.
