Huang FeihuWP (黄飛虎, Kō Hiko?), Class Name Rider (ライダー, Raidā?), is a Rider-class Servant summoned by Ritsuka Fujimaru in the Grand Orders of Fate/Grand Order.
Profile
Identity
A prince from the Chinese novel Investiture of the Gods.
He was described as a martial arts expert and the rider of a special bull named Wuse Shenniu (Five-colored Divine Ox).
He was a member of the distinguished Huang Family that had served the Shang (Yin) Dynasty for 7 generations, and as such, he served the righteous King Zhòu under the commanding position of royal general and the prestigious title of Prince of Wu Cheng Who Guards the Kingdom of Yin. However, everything started changing when his king married Su Daji, a fox monster in disguise.
Under Daji's enchantments, the king started committing inhuman deeds, causing the nation and its government to gradually lose its peace.
And when the drunk Daji revealed her true form in the Imperial Court and tried to eat people, Huang Feihu's Golden-eyed Divine Warbler scarred her face before Feihu realized what she truly was.
This led Daji to hold a grudge against Huang Feihu, and because of this, Daji's trickery drove Lady Jia (Feihu's wife) into jumping off a window and King Zhòu into killing Huang Fei (Feihu's sister and King Zhou's concubine).
This incident was the last straw triggering Huang Feihu's rebellion against Yin. He and his family switched allegiances to King Wu of Xiqi.
To do this, he had to cross 5 checkpoints while fighting against wave after wave of enemies.
Upon swearing his allegiance to the Zhōu forces, Huang Feihu was granted the title of Prince of Wu Cheng Who Founds the Kingdom and led the army with his companions Taigong Wang (Jiang Ziya), Nezha, Huang Tianhua, and many more. Together they defeated every punitive force that King Zhòu send their way.
And when it came time to take down Daji and Zhòu, they marched to Zhaoge (Yin's capital).
Obviously, Huang Feihu joined the march and defeated various enemies on his path, but in Mianchi County, when Zhaoge was before his eyes, the protector of the county, Commander Zhang Kui took Feihu's life using his wife Gao Lanying's paope.
That was the result of Huang Feihu rushing into battle to repay his companions for the grand favor of avenging his son Huang Tianhua's death.
After his companions avenged Feihu's wife and sister by giving Daji and King Zhòu their just deserts, Taigong Wang sealed Feihu's soul in the form of god Dongyue Taishan Tianqi Rensheng Dadi (shortened to Dongyue Dadi), the governor of hell.
He has 4 sons: Huang Tianhua, Huang Tianlu, Huang Tianjue, and Huang Tianxiang.

Personality
He seems to be very close with his children and cares significantly for his family. He holds great affection for them and thinks of them often. He also thinks back to his wife often and how she would scold him. He seems rather aggrieved in life for his defeat, however he seeks to change that through being summoned as a servant believing that with the Bonds of the Huang Family, they will succeed. In a certain sense, he could be considered a "family man."
He holds a fair amount of pride and honor with his nature as a soldier, and a general. He recalls his former way of thinking being one that lacked planning and being chastised about it by his wife as being unbefitting of a general. He also holds the honor of his family fairly high. He holds loyalty and honor to be extremely important values within his heart.
In terms of his disposition towards his master, he seeks to catalogue them into "benevolent" or "dark" citing King Wen of Zhuo and Di Xin as their respective examples. As it is something he must ascertain, he would likely not have any sort of positive interactions with those under the "dark" category. He often judges them a lot.
Huang Feihu carries some lingering regrets and insecurities in terms of loyalty. Even after defecting, he was described as hesitant through the course of his journey, wondering if he was valid in quitting as a retainer, and whether if his betrayal could be justified as a man from a family who had served for several generations. Although his companions explained that he was justified and that the King had become too evil, deep within himself he wonders whether he was right. This insecurity manifests as a Servant even further, as he cannot pick his master, it is a natural insecurity.

Skills
Class Skills
- Magic Resistance (D Rank): Cancels Single-Action spells. Magic Resistance of the same degree of an amulet that rejects magical energy.
- Riding (B+ Rank): Most vehicles and animals can be handled with above average skill, even vehicles that did not exist in the time period one was alive in, for they are no exception. Despite the rank of his Riding Skill, he is capable of mounting his Multi-Coloured Divine Ox.
Personal Skills
- Divinity (C Rank): Although not a god in life, after dying Jiang Ziya proceeded to seal his soul in the form of Dongyue Taishan Tianqi Rensheng Dadi (shortened to Dongyue Dadi), the leader of the rulers of the Five Sacred Mountains. As this God, he oversees the fortunes and fates of mortals and the Eighteen Levels of Hell. It essentially translates to The Equal to Heaven, Benevolent and Sacred Great Emperor of the Eastern Summit Mount Tai.
- Ti Lu Qiang Ji (B Rank): A skill representing the Dragon-Spear of the Huang Family. His attacks are witnessed as both heavy and quick in terms of impact and speed.
- Huang Family's Bond (B Rank): A passive skill rooted in the important role of his family in "The Investiture of the Gods." However, many of them were unable to participate in the final battle against Daji and King ZhouWP, Feihu included. As if shouldering that regret, Huang Feihu as a Servant has manifested strongly connected with many members of his family, such as his eldest son, Huang TianhuaWP. He can borrow and use the powers of his family to some extent, as if they were his retainers or familiars. However, his family members typically cannot show themselves as independent entities. There may be times where his sons can be seen during battle, but that only happens due to their fighting spirit temporarily increasing. There may be instances where Feihu can hear his wife's voice, too...or perhaps not.
- Prince Wucheng (EX Rank)
- Divine Golden-Eyed Warbler (A Rank): Jin yanshen ying. A divine warbler in a red birdcage said to have been obtained by Huang Feihu from the northern sea. One night, when King Zhou and Daji held a banquet and the attendees were all drunk to oblivion, Daji reverted back to her original form and wandered the area to pick out victims to eat. Huang Feihu, merely tipsy, sensed an ominous presence and sprung into action, releasing the warbler. The bird's eyes flashed red and attacked the fox spirit and scarred her face. It was this incident that caused Su Daji to hold a grudge against Feihu.
- Multi-Coloured Divine Ox (EX Rank): A phantasmal beast which he road upon in life. Feihu has a very close connection with the beast, often considering himself "a man who is one with his bull." It is the natural steed that allows him to qualify as a Rider-Class Servant. The beast has a golden mane and three colored jewels beneath its neck. It seems capable of firing energy-beams from the jewels.
Noble Phantasm
Huang Feihu's Noble Phantasm is Huang Feihu's Five Checkpoint Resistance, Tianhua's Sword of Mo Ye.
