i quite like this character disign!! sleek as hell too! And the weapon look more like a "sword" version of Gae Bolg.

Quick question- is the game going to be translated to english and does somebody know the identity of this lancer?

It is almost certain to be Scathach.

I'm not too familiar with Irish mythology, but that would make her FSN Lancer's master/instructor and the one who gave him Gae Bolg in the first place, correct?

i also thought that but hasn't Scathach ascended to godhood, concept or something along those lines? maybe she is like tamamo-no-mae? A facet of a godess.

It isn't a big deal - we have Heracles/Hercules, who is ascended to the gods after his death, but it isn't a problem for a Grail to summon his form when he was a human.

Ohh, ok. I was wondering why her weapon just looked like a shorter version of Gae Bolg. Really like her design, in fact all of these classes in Fate/Grand Order look pretty spot on.

And I always wonder why LN adaptations have recycled character designs. They could learn a few things from Ufotable and TYPE-Moon.

It may be Aife as well - one of the 3 Cú Chulainn`s teachers, Scathach`s` rival(and her sister?) and his concubine.
