History:
Kirei was not only a Master in the 4th Holy Grail War, but was also responsible for the monstrous conflagration in the ensuing turmoil following the war's end. He has lived a troubled and gloomy life, hounded by guilt and sorrow. Although Kirei understood the distinction between good and evil, he could only revel in committing sins. Like his father, Risei Kotomine, Kirei became a vicar, but he was trained as an exorcist and had an ironic talent for healing other people. With no other alternative, Kirei prayed that, through marriage to a woman he loved, he could finally achieve respite from his tortured existence. When Kirei discovered marriage could not change him, he was on the brink of suicide; his ill wife, filled with concern, comitted suicide to show to Kirei that he could still feel compassion for others. However, after her death, Kirei was disgusted to realize he would have preferred killing her instead; from that day on, he ceased pursuing salvation altogether.
As a representative of the Church, Kirei summoned an Archer and gained entry into the 4th Holy Grail War. Risei Kotomine, the Manager of the 3rd and 4th Holy Grail Wars, died while trying to mediate a violent conflict. He took advantage of the ensuing chaos to murder another Master, his friend and mentor, Tokiomi Tōsaka. Toward the end of the war, Kirei clashed against Kiritsugu Emiya, but he was easily shot dead. In his last moments, the Holy Grail appeared to Kirei; filled with hatred and envy for Kiritsugu, he reached out and touched the cursed artifact. Kirei prayed for an end to humanity; his wish was granted in the form of fire. Amidst the roaring flames, Kiritsugu's Saber obliterated the Holy Grail, allowing its tainted water to soak Kirei's lifeless body, ressurecting him with an artificial, black heart.
In the aftermath of the war, Kirei became curious as to the capabilities of the Holy Grail; he decided to prepare for the contigency of another war starting during his lifetime. After the Fuyuki fire died down, Kirei rounded up the surviving children and imprisoned them within the basement of his Church; he then allowed his Servant to consume their souls and stockpile Mana. While Archer took up residence in Fuyuki City, Kirei joined and participated on several missions for the Mage's Association, additionally acting as a distant supervisor for Rin Tōsaka. Nearly a decade after his death, Kirei was designated as Manager of the 5th Holy Grail War.
Why do they want the holy grial:
He cares little for it himself; he is more interested in the results of wishes made upon a tainted artifact, especially with individuals who possess pure souls or good intentions.
