Because except for Worm-Breath, who's been knee-deep in it from Day One, all the Masters so far have been, well, young. So I figured that a nasty old bat would make a nice contrast.
It makes for a nice contrast, at least. Figuring out the rest will be a bit tricky, though ... I'd say, give Perseus to Shinji - since the spoilers say Rider described him as a 'Shinji who'd succeeded' once upon a Hollow Ataraxia, but that isn't really an option here.
Still, it gives a sort of baseline regarding the kind of Master Assassin II ought to get.

The waiting was, perhaps, the worst part. She'd been relegated to having to wait essentially since being born, so she'd just about perfected the art. Still, being so close ...
... her very being itched, and it was getting more and more difficult to resist simply throwing her Servant into the fray ...
Powerful as she knew him to be, there was something inherently off about the events she was witnessing.
Not that two Master/Servant pairs were apparently cooperating - temporary alliances were commonplace during all sorts of conflicts, not just the War.
Her eyes were keen and well trained enough that they could, with some difficulty, pierce the veil of the Caster's created territory.
What she was seeing, though ... Ilyasviel had long since learned that she could trust her instincts ... and those were telling her that there were _two_ Rider class Servants down there.
She knew of theories, theories mind, that postulated a Servant could, under certain circumstances or with certain skills, survive in this world past the end of one of the Wars. This, so it seemed, confirmed those ... but while she did not recognize either Rider, she was moderately sure no known Servant of said class had the ability to allow that and it most certainly wasn't part of the 'parcel' of that class package either.
So she suppressed her eagerness once again, and waited.
And watched.
And planned.
The watcher should be wary, though. There exists, always, a chance that they themselves are being watched.
That they themselves are being evaluated.
By the by, is this the night of the living dead? Err ... I mean, the resurrected Shiro? Or how is he going to summon Saber? Maybe he witnesses a fight between a different two Servants ... or it's still Archer and Lancer, just somewhere else ...
