His name is Rama (ラーマ, Rāma), the protagonist of the Ramayana, one of the 2 major epic poems from India.
Granting the request of the gods, Vishnu is reincarnated as Rama, born as the imperial prince of a country, an ordinary human who has forgotten everything. The wish that the gods made was to give birth to a human who would defeat Ravana, considering he had powers that made him only human to kill.
Rama was naturally a wise man, but in the end he lost his right of succession to the throne and was expelled from his country due to a kinship scheme.
After his lover, Sita, who was traveling with him, was snatched by the hands of the Demon King Ravana, Rama bravely decided himself to fight. Ravana, who could enslave even the gods because of the power he obtained by deceiving great gods, was a Demon Lord famous for the fact that only humans had the qualifications to defeat him.
Borrowing and receiving powers from the gods and sages, Rama tries to take back Sita, the queen he loves. Along with an army of monkeys, including the famous Hanuman, Rama, who was bestowed with many weapons by the sages, continued to fight against the Demon King and his army for more than 14 years. However, even someone as unique as Rama could still make fatal mistakes. He intervenes in a fight between the monkeys to save his ally, Sugriva. He did a sneak attack/cowardly attack on the enemy monkey, Vali. Unable to forgive that, Vali's wife cursed Rama.
« Even if you were able to take back your queen, you will never share joy together with her again. »Vali's wife
The curse continued even after he saved Sita and defeated Ravana. Rama, who is the reincarnation of Lord Vishnu, will continue to 'pass by' the queen he loves, Sita, for the rest of his life. The day the two can hug again is when they have to take back their original form and ascend to heaven. But on the other hand, it means the eternal separation between him and Sita remains as long as he lives. Even when he managed to wrest her back from Ravana's hands, Sita left Rama's side when the people of her country voiced suspicions that Sita was disloyal to her.
Even after death and becoming a Heroic Spirit, the effects of the curse continued to bind him. The curse will continue as long as the two continue to love each other. It could be said that such a curse was at the same time a testament to their love.
The reason why Rama was summoned as a youth was because, as alluded to in common scenarios of Servants, the period when he was struggling to find Sita was indeed his golden age.
Although he has a part that is somewhat arrogant, in essence, Rama is a young man who keeps trying every day and is perhaps an extraordinary being who is called the "great king". Although Rama was gentle to his subordinates and animals, his attitude became very stubborn towards Servants who were known as famous tyrants. He hated evil, but he realized how dangerous such thoughts were.
Regarding Master, Rama would regard them as "people connected as comrades-in-arms", but he would also fundamentally adopt a somewhat haughty attitude towards him. Because of that, he might give off the impression of a bad boy. Even though he's like our average senpai in terms of knowledge, his mentality isn't the same. The strange state of being a Servant might make him have such an attitude. Naturally with that attitude, he would not allow himself, a king, to be treated as someone of lower rank even if he acknowledged himself as a Servant and his companion as a Master.
Rama's wish for the Holy Grail is to destroy the Curse of Separation with his wife Sita, being able to reunite with Sita. But so far, this wish has not been granted. He wants to see Sita. He wanted to meet and talk to her. That was enough for him.
Rama wasn't Saber-class by nature, and it would be better to call him Archer. Brahmastra is the arrow that removes all demonic things. However, an exemplary anecdote about Sita is her bow and arrow (her Noble Phantasm is Haradhanu Janaka). Considering the possibility that Sita will be summoned, Sita won't be able to get the role of the Saber-class, so Rama takes the Saber-class instead so that Sita can get the Archer-class. However, since Saber is known to be the most superior of all classes, maybe Rama can't choose other than this class because as a young person, he will try to get tired in front of Sita.
Rama likes whatever he likes, such as dance, music, martial arts, and meditation, while he is wary of evil. However, the one thing he hates the most is himself when he suspects his wife. Sometimes, he wanted to squeeze himself in the neck for ever judging like that.
Returning to discuss his lifetime, Rama once saw war as a source of pleasure, where swinging a sword and releasing arrows was only entertainment for him. But only when Sita was kidnapped by Ravana did Rama finally know the terror of war. While he was not afraid of death or harm, he realized that if he died, he would lose his friends, his younger brother, and his beloved Sita. From the bottom of his heart, he was very afraid of throwing away the lives of his brother and his people. The war was terrifying, but Rama did not retreat from the battle, nor did he flee. He would get hurt, he would kill, and he might even be killed. He accepted all of this, and challenged the Demon Lord. 'Swallow fear, step into the field, and shout the name of your love', he believes it is the essence that makes a hero.
Rama is a member of the Resistance in E Pluribus Unum, an army that opposes American and Celtic forces. Prior to Ritsuka and Mashu's arrival, Rama was seriously injured in the battle with Cu Chulainn Alter, causing him to be unable to fight effectively as his wounds could not be healed until Gáe Bolg's curse was removed.
Ritsuka's party then met Rama and found out about his condition. They decide to go find Sita who can dispel the curse. They eventually learn that Sita is being held in Alcatraz by Celtic forces. They break into Alcatraz, manage to defeat Beowulf and find Sita. Together, Sita and Florence Nightingale heal Rama of his injuries with Sita sacrificing herself to dispel Gáe Bolg's curse. Due to the Curse of Separation, Rama and Sita cannot see each other even though they are very close. Rama later helps Ritsuka's group on their journey, serving as one of the leaders of the Southern United American and Resistance Army.
Even though he was summoned as a Saber, it wasn't Rama's main class. In order to properly utilize his abilities, it would be best to address him as Archer. However, even as a Saber, Rama still had access to the Brahmastra.

For NP gain, his best chain is AQAEx. With NP charge atk 0.84%, Quick up 11% from passive, assuming neither crit nor overkill, it becomes:
Arts + Quick + Arts + Extra
= 6.72% + 4.48% + 11.76% + 6.72%
= 29.68%
Just drag, like Saber-class in general.
For stargen, his best chain is ABQEx. With 10.2% stargen, 11% Quick up, assuming neither crit nor overkill, it becomes:
Arts + Buster + Quick + Extra
= 20.4% + 25.2% + 420% + 440.8%
= (0 star and 20.4% for 1 star) + (0 star and 25.2% for 1 star) + (4 star and 20% for 5 star) + (4 star and 40.8% for 5 star)
= 8~12 stars
He can also do Brave chain via NPBB. With stat atk 10854 at level 80 (already 1000 Fou), Buster resist down from NP, crit dmg up 100% at skill 1 level 10, atk up 18% from skill 2 level 10, divinity 200, base multiplier 1x, so:
NP + Buster + Buster
= NP + 33,713.85 + 37,955.77
NOBLE PHANTASM
1. Brahmastra - Rakshasa-Piercing Immortal

« Witness my power!"
"The Immortal Blade that even the Rakshasa King succumbs to, take form!"
"Take this! Brahmastra! »
(Saber)
Brahmastra: Rakshasa-Piercing Immortal is Rama's NP. The "Immortal Blade" that was carried with him since he was born for the sake of overthrowing the Demon King Ravana, possessed extraordinary power against any evil being. Originally in the form of an arrow, but Rama who wanted to become a Saber forcibly turned it into a sword. However, its ability as a thrown weapon did not disappear.
For the calculation of NP dmg, we collect data first. With stat atk 10854 at level 80 (already 1000 Fou), NP1 800%, atk up 18% from skill 2 level 10, divinity 200, base multiplier 1x, he produced an output of around 35,549.31. That much NP damage puts him above Tsuna. He has a special condition in the form of an anti-demon, which is quite easy to find. If the enemy is demonic, the output will be:
OC 100% = 53,223.96
OC 300% = 62,061.29
OC 500% = 70,898.61
2. Vishnu Bhuja - Arms of the Great One
Classification: Anti-Army
Rank: A
Range: 1~50 (varies by weapon)
Maximum number of targets: 500 people
Vishnu Bhuja: Arms of the Great One is Rama's Noble Phantasm. Vishnu Bhuja gave him access to many weapons granted by the sage Vishwamitra for opposing all kinds of gods and demons. Some of the weapons in it include:
1. Chakra, throwing weapon
2. Shuuravara javelin
3. Mace Modhaki and Shikhari
4. The trident of Lord Shiva
5. Bow of Shiva, Pinaka
6. Etc
The higher his Divinity, his existence was perceived as something more and more similar to Vishnu, and the maximum limit on the number of weapons he could carry would increase. At rank A, while becoming a Saber, it was not impossible for him to operate as an Archer and a Lancer.

Lore:
Until that day, war was ordinary to the boy, and a source of pleasure.
Swinging swords and loosing arrows were amusement.
But only when Sita was abducted, and Rama had to challenge the demon lord Ravana, did the youth finally come to know the terror of war.
He did not fear death. But if he died, then he would lose his friends, his younger brother, and his beloved Sita.
He did not fear harm. But from the bottom of his heart, he was deeply afraid of throwing away the lives of his brother and his subjects.
War was terrifying.
Still, Rama did not shrink from battle, nor did he flee. He would wound, he would kill, he would be hurt, and he might even be killed. He accepted all of this, and challenged the demon.
That is the essence which makes a hero.
Swallow your fear, step into the fray, and cry out the name of your love!

Conclusion
With weak NP gain, stargen, and NP dmg, the point that can be favored from him is his crit. Even so, he is still quite relevant today in JP because there are indeed many demonic enemies. With a little tinkering, he can still earn his place in the late game.
