[ When he found himself summoned to this Singularity, it surprised him to realize that this wasn't a Holy Grail War (not in the sense he's experienced before, at least), and that he wasn't contracted to a specific Master.
Instead, he was summoned by another force—the Grail itself?—to participate in the conflict at hand.
First, he needs to gather information. Find out more about the conflict at hand and the forces fighting for control of the Grail. As an Assassin, especially with his particular skill set, he should be able to blend into a crowd of people without drawing the attention of other Servants.
However, Jekyll soon finds that there aren't any humans to be found to hide among in this place and time. The villages he finds are razed, destroyed, but before he can continue his search for civilization, he crosses paths with a Servant on patrol.
Fortunately, the Servant fails to see through to his true nature, and Jekyll finds himself escorted to a 'place of safety'. Jekyll smiles weakly and thanks the Saber for such kindness, although he's careful not to let his guard down the entire journey.
Imagine his surprise when he's led to a camp overseen by another Servant, the one who has gathered the remains of humanity in this region to protect them from the hostile forces in this land.
Imagine his shock when the leader of this settlement turns out to be a man he recognizes.
A man who recognizes him in turn, and effortlessly outs him as what he is: another Servant. ]
You...
[ Something dark and ugly rises inside of him, eager for violence, and Jekyll shudders as he swallows the bitter taste back down. No, no, he will not lose control here.
But a million things are running through his mind at once, Jekyll at last putting the pieces together and seeing what he failed to realize during his human lifetime. He knows this man, but no regular person would become a Servant. No, there's only a few notable names tied to his time period, and only one in particular tied to the series of events that lead to his own downfall.
The ultimate enemy of the man Jekyll admires most. ]
