Bazdilot Cordelion is one of the leaders of the Scladio Family, an American mafia organization that granted services and patronage to other mages, in return for power and influence. He holds the public persona as the CEO of an industrial waste treatment company. He was suspected in connected to over one hundred and twenty murder cases including several mages, but the evidence was always insufficient, which put him under the survelliance of the Department of Justice Adminstration who could only find misdemeanors. Before coming under the protection of the Scladio Family, Bazdilot had a confrontation with Sponheim Abbey, but the situation was defused due to Sponheim Abbey being busy due to the abbott going missing.[1] Despite his fearsome reputation, he encountered a few defeats which he makes no secret of, including almost dying fighting against Holy Church executors, getting outwitted by the freelance magus Kairi Sisigou, he had one of his lungs gouged out by Magalo Der Familie, had most of his magic circuits burned by Brother Degras, and he fought to a draw with Wu from the Marble Trading Company. At one point his lover’s head was dumped at his feet to taunt him. Despite his ordeals, Bazdilot was seemingly mentally unaffected throughout.

Due to the influence of the Scladio Family, Bazdilot was picked as one of the True Masters of the Holy Grail War of Snowfield, by Francesca, who is especially interested in him.The boss of the Scladio Family, Galvarosso Scladio, also personally recommended him to Francesca, due to believing Bazdilot to be capable of handling the "mud of the Grail". Francesca chose to give him the "mud" and the catalyst to summon Heracles.

The plot centers around a Grail War faultily copied from the Third Holy Grail War in Fuyuki. After the end of the third Grail War, an organization from the United States that has magi separate from the London based Mage Association as members took data from Fuyuki's Grail War and planned their own ritual. After seventy years, they used the city Snowfield as the Sacred Land for their own Grail War. They were unable to successfully copy every aspect of the ritual, which lead to it acting only as an imitation that has lost the Saber class and allowed for the summoning of strange Servants due to the definition of a "hero" being blurred.

The stage: the city of Snowfield in the western U.S., far from Fuyuki. There, a "false Holy Grail War", quite unlike the original Holy Grail War, unfolds. There were those who had been keeping an eye on the auguries of the Holy Grail in Snowfield. According to an investigation by the Mage's Association, the Holy Grail War system in Snowfield was an imitation of the one in Fuyuki. What's more, the system was incomplete, leading to the exclusion of one of the seven classes and the selection of beings as Servants who ordinarily could not be summoned. It was, verily, a strange fake. As an organ of the U.S. government executes its various plots, the Servants are summoned one after another...

In a Holy Grail War, Mages (Masters) and their Heroic Spirits (Servants) fight for the control of the Holy Grail—an omnipotent wish-granting device said to fulfill any desire. Years have passed since the end of the Fifth Holy Grail War in Japan. Now, signs portend the emergence of a new Holy Grail in the western American city of Snowfield. Sure enough, Masters and Servants begin to gather... 

A missing Servant class... 
Impossible Servant summonings... 
A nation shrouded in secrecy... 
And a city created as a battleground. 
 
In the face of such irregularities, the Holy Grail War is twisted and driven into the depth of madness. Let the curtain rise on a masquerade of humans and heroes, made to dance upon the stage of a false Holy Grail. This is a Holy Grail War covered in lies.
