A Pathstrider is a term referring to those whose wills align closely to a Path, and therefore are able to draw power from it.[1]
Description[]
Devotees, warriors, seekers of knowledge, lost travelers... There are always mortals who, intentionally or otherwise, set foot on the Paths ruled by Aeons. Those who do so came to be known as Pathstriders that carry out the Path's will.
Pathstriders live thousands of different lives. They can be seen everywhere, yet stand out a cut above the rest. Different from regular people living in confusion and without a firm allegiance, Pathstriders are driven by precepts or their own desires as they embark on a life of determination and hard work.
The Aeons usually ignore those mortals who walk upon THEIR Paths. But the infrequent glances THEY cast — be it in approval or pity — are enough to be highly treasured by THEIR followers.
Pathstriders by Path[]
The following is a list of all groups and characters who have been confirmed to be Pathstriders, or are implied strongly to be one. While an argument can be made for other characters whose wills align closely with a Path, characters where the word "Pathstrider" is never mentioned are not included.

Divergent Universe: The Human Comedy[]
Sometime after Penacony's Charmony Festival, Screwllum and Dr. Ratio collaborated to created the Divergent Universe, and started a project known as "The Human Comedy." As part of this research, the Trailblazer could enter the Divergent Universe, and through the extrapolation of equations, generate themselves as a materialized Pathstrider. This suggests that all Divergent Universe: The Human Comedy Equations are different Pathstriders.[29]
Fate Collab[]
During the Fate/stay night event, Screwllum uses the memories of Pathstriders to create a repeatable simulation of the Holy Grail War.[30] Due to this taking place within a collab, the canonical nature of this simulation is questionable. The game itself mentions to not take the lore implications seriously, while within the Ritual Archives Enemy Servants screen. The following characters are featured within the simulation, and are thus implied to be Pathstriders:
- Argenti
- Castorice
- Cipher
- Clara
- Feixiao
- Firefly
- Hyacine
- Kafka
- Seele
- Silver Wolf
- Topaz & Numby
- Jingliu
- Jing Yuan
- Yanqing
- Yunli
