Profile
Identity
The Titan IIIEWP which carried Voyager 1 into space.
The space probe Voyager 1 was launched in 1977 via rocket from Cape CanaveralWP, FloridaWP.[2] After completing its studies of Jupiter, Saturn, and various other planets in the Solar System, Voyager began its endless journey through interstellar space. Even now he still travels through the sea of stars in places outside the boundaries of our Solar System.[1]
Voyager is still a very young Servant, in two different senses of the word. He's a Heroic Spirit from the extremely historically shallow present era, and has the body of an 8-year-old boy. Although he's actually an aggregation of aluminum alloy observation tools, he acquired a Saint Graph equal to a human in order to properly communicate with his Master and fight the Holy Grail War until the very end. As a downside to this miracle, the general knowledge installed in him was lacking, his vocabulary is a bit insufficient, and his body is not anything we could call robust. His general appearance takes a huge subjective influence from Erice.[1]
He is the "last Servant summoned in the world", and no new Servants have been able to be summoned in the World of Fate/Requiem since he was.[2]
Nzambi speculates him to be the Holy Spear and/or from the future, but neither are confirmed.[4]
Appearance
A mythical boy who appears before Erice. He appears to be around age 8 or so, and possesses angelic features, such as pale blonde hair that is almost white, blue eyes, and a pale Caucasian complexion. He is dressed in a white cotton tunic and shorts, with a circular image of space beneath an eight-pointed star, as well as golden boots which are tapered at the back much like spurs for horse riding, a belt, and a scarf/muffler which flutters of its own accord without wind, all made of the same material.
He is occasionally seen wearing aviator goggles on his head. The goggles originally belonged to his Master, Erice.[5]
Personality
Voyager goes along very well with Kijyo Koyo like a kid with a huge dog, and is strangely attracted to music. He is emotionless, clueless, quiet, and almost fearless, but displays high curiosity on something that catches his attention.[6] He has also mentioned he has a fear of snakes, and is willing to fight any opponent, no matter how powerful, so long as the opponent isn't a snake.[4] He has also shown displeasure about being hot in a bath.[7] He lacks a large amount of knowledge that one would naturally assume the Holy Grail would provide, such as what a bath is, or even the concept of War, to the shock of Erice, Koharu, Galahad Alter, and Hannibal.[5]
After Erice learns his True Name, Voyager becomes more coherent and less absent-minded, as if his ego and sense of purpose have risen to the surface. He also starts becoming more stubborn and argues with Erice more, such as over what to have for breakfast. While still curious, he is not quite as captivated by every little thing like before.[8]
He has a tendency to speak in English, likely because he is an American creation. He asks Erice the iconic "I ask you, are you my Master?" in English instead of Japanese.[9][10]
Voyager's dialogue is all written in hiraganaWP to demonstrate his childish nature.
Role
Fate/Requiem
The Boy Among the Stars
Erice Utsumi meets Voyager when she is attacked by Kundry and knocked into the water. Voyager appears floating above her and asks her if she is worthy to be his Master.[9] Erice brings him to her home and starts looking out for him, while also trying to figure out his identity. She also starts to hope that he was her Servant, but no Command Spells ever appear on her hand. Caren Fujimura charges Erice with watching over the boy and hopefully figuring out his True Name.[7]
Caren says she can't discern even his Class from his Saint Graph. Erice speculates that he is either Antoine de Saint-ExupéryWP or The Little PrinceWP, but he does not recognize Saint-Exupéry's airplane nor the "The Little Prince" book. Caren temporarily decides to call him The Little Prince (TBD) (星の王子さま（仮）?),[7] while Karin decides on Pran (プラン, Puran?), from the French pronunciation of "prince".[6] He is given a toy Caudron C.630 SimounWP by Erice with the same lettering as the one flown by Saint-Exupéry,[6] and also takes a liking to Erice's antique aviator goggles.[5]
When Nzambi attacks the Holy Grail Tournament, a black dog calls out to Voyager and tells him to pass along a message to Erice's grandmother Chitose Manazuru: that death has come for her.[4] In the fight with Nzambi Voyager destroys her sword and forces her to retreat.[4] Afterward Chitose demands that Erice hand Voyager over to her, and when Erice refuses Chitose has Lucius attack him. After Galahad Alter deflects Lucius's attack, Chitose leaves without a word.[10]
After Chitose leaves, Command Spells form on Erice's hand and Voyager once again asks her if she is his Master. As the two of them make their contract, Erice declares his True Name of Voyager with tears in her eyes, and Voyager pledges that together they will end the Holy Grail War and destroy the world.[10]
Shinjuku the Nostalgic City
Erice and Voyager arguing.
After Erice learned his True Name, Voyager has become more coherent and less absent-minded, as if his ego and sense of purpose have risen to the surface.[8]
At Reijinza Hall, Voyager is fawned over by the waitresses such as Mata Hari and Annie Oakley. Later at a fruit shop, he is approached by Euclid who recognizes him as the "Final Servant" and explains that ever since he was summoned twelve days ago, no other new Servants have been able to be summoned in Mosaic City. Recognizing that Voyager's class is a new and unfamiliar one, Circe decides to name it. She dubs it the Voyager class.[2]
Several days later, after a visit to see Koharu, Voyager asks to see the place where Erice grew up, Chitose's home. Erice takes him to the entrance of the house but is too scared to enter and runs away in fear. Voyager apologizes for scaring her, and to cheer her up lifts her up into the sky. While flying above the night skyline of Shinjuku, Erice and Voyager confess to each other that they're both somewhat scared of the other. They vow to be more open to each other, and Voyager once again promises to destroy the world for her.[11]
When Anubis summons two Ammits that rampage through the city, Erice and Voyager fight one of them together. Erice traps it with a net made of her Dread Spirits and then Voyager flies them up into the sky so they can drop it from a lethal height. Despite Erice using a Command Spell to help Voyager resist the effects of her Dread Spirits, the contact with Erice's black blood still starts to eat away at his body as he carries them higher and higher. Despite this Voyager holds out until they reach an appropriate height to drop the Ammit, killing it.[12]

Abilities
Voyager flying with Erice.
In Fate/Requiem, Voyager is unable to enter spiritual form.[2] Makki theorizes that this is due to Erice's nature and the Dread Spirits inside her.[11]
Voyager is capable of flight, though only for as long as Erice can supply magical energy.[11]
Combat
While next to nothing has been shown of his abilities, Voyager demonstrates one small fragment of his powers, where he managed to halt Nzambi's knife strike with just one small touch through his fingertip. When he does so, Nzambi tries to pull back, but she is unable to move her weapon, as if she is petrified from the touch. The weapon begins to crack and glow white-hot, before shattering in an explosion. Immediately after doing this Voyager collapses, the action having worn him out completely.[4]

Development
Creation and Conception
Voyager's writer is Meteo Hoshizora and his designer is NOCO.
Voyager was intentionally designed to evoke the titular character of The Little PrinceWP as a red herring. However he also has aspects showing his true identity in his design: his golden color scheme comes from the Golden RecordWP aboard the Voyager space probes, the blue mark on his shirt is inspired by the Pale Blue DotWP photo which Voyager 1 took, and the pattern on his scarf comes from components of the space probe.[13]
