Sirrocco,
Somewhat related to #187 this thread, I was researching for C&Cing a Fate, and I noticed that Plutarch had done biographies of Alexander and Heracles, among many others. I figured that it might be neat if he could, as a servant, bring in all the guys he wrote about.
Anyway:
1. The classes might not be set in stone. There may be other options suitable for that.
2. Think about the personality a fighter may have. A deep friendship may also contain a shared awareness of being willing to fight each other to death, if it came down to it. That said, bonds and goals shared in life might easily be greater than the goals and emotional bonds gained after being summoned. On the other hand, maybe in life they really wanted to hash everything out, and fight to the death.
3. Reasons a Servant might fight include emotional bonds with the master, command runes, and the desire for a wish. Servants generally must have a wish that they strongly desire to have granted to agree to be summoned. If the Servants are seven friends, and they have incompatible wishes, this may cause them to fight to the death. Conversely, if they have the same wish, and it isn't 'fight my friends to the death', they may well collude against their masters to get it done.
