[@LordZero666]

He has the magic book in the anime Fate/Apocrypha and it's used in the final battle. Also it's wrong that Astolfo wears girly clothes for no reason. When his fellow paladin Orlando became deranged (was totally out of control and paraded around naked), because unrequited love with a pagan princess, named Angelica. Astolfo managed to calm him down by dressing as her. He KEEPS WEARING the clothes because he finds them cute.

Just a small correction Astolfo was originally from Fate Apocrypha , he was later added to Fate/Grand order but most people know him from the Fate Apocrypha anime . And yes he does have the magic book he doesn't have it in fgo but he does use it in the Apocrypha anime .

Unironically Astolfo is a major role model to me. In Fate Apocrypha where he’s introduced he’s such a lovable, kind-hearted, enthusiastic, and strong character who fights for what he believes in and defends his friends even when it could very likely end in his demise. He’s a shining example of a hero; he’s much weaker than the other paladins but he doesn’t let that bring him down, he fights on and protects the innocent not for glory or honor, but just because he WANTS to! I wish I could be as free as him, and maybe one day I won’t let what others think of me bring me down and I’ll embrace a similar easy-going attitude :)

small correction: *Astolfo does NOT originate from Fate/Grand Order.* Yes, the vast majority of people know him FROM that game (due to its immense popularity), but he's actually from an earlier Fate work named *Fate/Apocrypha* which originally was a scrapped Fate mmo turned light novel series that then got adapted into an anime series. It should be noted however that the Fate mmo idea that Apocrypha was built on later DID turn into Fate/Grand Order.

Dear Professor Lando, I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the invaluable information you shared regarding the 12 Knights of Charlemagne's Astolfo during your recent lecture. Your expertise and passion for the subject were evident throughout the presentation, and your ability to convey complex historical details in an accessible manner greatly enriched my understanding of this fascinating aspect of medieval history. The depth of your knowledge and the clarity with which you explained the roles and significance of each knight provided a captivating glimpse into the world of Charlemagne's court. I particularly appreciated the insights you offered into Astolfo's character and the various adventures and challenges faced by the 12 knights. Your enthusiasm for the subject matter was contagious, making the lecture both informative and enjoyable. It is evident that your dedication to your field and your commitment to sharing your knowledge with your students are truly commendable. As a student passionate about history, your lecture has not only deepened my understanding of this specific period but has also inspired me to explore further and delve into the intricacies of medieval European history. I am grateful for the time and effort you invested in preparing and delivering such a comprehensive and engaging lecture. I look forward to attending more of your lectures and gaining additional insights into the rich tapestry of history under your guidance. Sincerely, ADD A ROLAND LIBRARY OF RUINA REFERENCE IN YOUR VIDEOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Neninho_]

In one of his versions' noble phantasm in FGO he actually uses Vulcano Caligorante, which was Caligorante's net, according to the lore: It was a net set up by the giant Caligorant to capture a god. However, Caligorant was sent into a panicked flight by Astolfo's horn flute and subsequently caught in his own net. Astolfo would later take the net and add it to his wide arsenal of magic artifacts. When Astolfo modified his own Saint Graph to become a Saber, Vulcano Caligorante became a whip-sword.

The best description i have for him is: A cutely dressed paladin with a heart of gold and a personality of true freedom(despite being a servant), who, unless challenged by an equal foe, will decimate anything that could cause him or one of his people harm.
