Shinji Matō (間桐 慎二 Matō Shinji?)
The older brother of Sakura, and an old friend of Shirō. Although chauvinistic and a narcissist, Shinji is very popular as Vice-Captain of the Archery Dojo. Like Rin, he is of a distinguished lineage of sorcerers, though the Matō blood has thinned and no longer produces heirs naturally capable of sorcery. Shinji feels unconfortable with his sister's daily visits to Shirō's home. He has an open crush on Rin, but she does not return his favours.
Role
Shinji is the temporary master of Rider. He is initially depicted as an evil and deceptive character, but as the story moves along his character begins to show cowardly and even pathetic qualities. Shinji, like Shirō, is unskilled in magic, but unlike the latter, Shinji doesn't have any particular abilities.
It is hinted at in the anime and more strongly suggested in the game that he may have been using command spells to have non-consensual sex with Rider, and sexually abused Sakura as well.
