This won't be discovered in-story, but the micro-Singularity's existence and current stability tie back to one of the Demon Pillars making the spectacularly bad call to give a Grail over to Fergus mac Roich.
Memories fade when the Singularity ends. Fergus's wish will be... completed in two more days, and then the Ulster Singularity will collapse.
"Going?" He's getting it. And he has been for the past three days.
Failure is quite likely, yes. His general ruthlessness and control freak tendencies, though, are largely a response to his current situation. He feels helpless, and being controlling, and, to a certain extent inflicting pain and death on others, are how he regains his sense of agency, and feels like he actually can affect the hellish scenario he finds himself in. I.e. being singularly responsible for the continuation and survival of humanity, including everyone he loves, while being fundamentally helpless against the horrors he faces, forced to rely on people many times stronger than him who could betray him at any moment.
Yan Qing. "Outlaw of Darkness" is what he calls himself whenever he employs his Noble Phantasm. Charlie just never remembered to get his name.
Wasn't he enthusiastic about meeting heroes from history?
He's extremely critical of the concept of monarchy as a rule, and really, really skeptical of the whole "older is better" belief that most mages and Servants subscribe to.
Very much so. He didn't really expect to be stuck running around as their den mother, though. Also, again, when he's not constantly on-guard and watching his reactions, he tends to accidentally alienate people. As seen with Olga-Marie, who was convinced that he was the bomber, and with Nero, whom he accidentally gave the impression that he was plotting against her.
Even before Goetia, Camelot and Babylonia will be a big problem. I can excuse Mordred not getting pissy about Lancelot getting killed and having Mashu raid a brit village while in Galahad's gear, (Reminder: Singularities DO affect Panhuman history, Gaia might fix the changes long term, but short term things will change. Something else than the whole Guinivere and Lancelot affair may metaphorically crack Arturia's Round Table, but something might.) but Camelot will be an immediate issue. Lancelot will remember what happened, and might not be willing to switch sides, particularly without Guda's charisma in play. MC might not manage to befriend the locals and thus end up failing to gain King Hassan's assistance, meaning Gawain will not be removable as a threat vector temporarily.
The Lancelot and Gareth killed in that Micro-Singularity were both Servants. The Singularity was actually after Camlann.
