Haruri was born into the Magus Borzak clan, where her grandfather Odd Borzak was a noted Magus who eventually became a Dead Apostle while pursuing his research which then eventually lead him to destroy and kill scores of people and even an entire town to create an army of Ghouls, leading him to be hunted by both the Church and the Association for his destructive actions. This eventually lead him to surgically alter his face and change his name in order to hide his identity and constantly change locations to avoid detection. Eventually he was killed by two Freelancers while in a plane, which then left his surviving family to be viciously attacked and ransacked for his research, leaving only Haruri, his granddaughter, as the only survivor.

Left as the only survivor of the Borzak family, Haruri was taken in by an Unnamed Magus from the Clock Tower who possessed the physical body of a young girl, but had a mind far older. Despite teaching her Magecraft, her teacher did not take her in as her official apprentice and was simply her legal guardian, and therefore, when Haruri made her intention to join the True and False Holy Grail Wars for the sake of her vendetta against the Mage's Association and the World of Magecraft, she could do nothing to stop her and only try to convince her not to get involved with Francesca Prelati due to not being able to forcibly compel her as she was not her apprentice.

Haruri encountered Francesca Prelati while attempting a mystical approach to the United States in pursuit of her goal. She accepted Francesca's deal for a chance to destroy the magical world she hates

In a Holy Grail War, Mages (Masters) and their Heroic Spirits (Servants) fight for the control of the Holy Grail—an omnipotent wish-granting device said to fulfill any desire. Years have passed since the end of the Fifth Holy Grail War in Japan. Now, signs portend the emergence of a new Holy Grail in the western American city of Snowfield. Sure enough, Masters and Servants begin to gather... 

A missing Servant class... 
Impossible Servant summonings... 
A nation shrouded in secrecy... 
And a city created as a battleground. 
 
In the face of such irregularities, the Holy Grail War is twisted and driven into the depth of madness. Let the curtain rise on a masquerade of humans and heroes, made to dance upon the stage of a false Holy Grail. This is a Holy Grail War covered in lies.

The stage: the city of Snowfield in the western U.S., far from Fuyuki. There, a "false Holy Grail War", quite unlike the original Holy Grail War, unfolds. There were those who had been keeping an eye on the auguries of the Holy Grail in Snowfield. According to an investigation by the Mage's Association, the Holy Grail War system in Snowfield was an imitation of the one in Fuyuki. What's more, the system was incomplete, leading to the exclusion of one of the seven classes and the selection of beings as Servants who ordinarily could not be summoned. It was, verily, a strange fake. As an organ of the U.S. government executes its various plots, the Servants are summoned one after another...

The plot centers around a Grail War faultily copied from the Third Holy Grail War in Fuyuki. After the end of the third Grail War, an organization from the United States that has magi separate from the London based Mage Association as members took data from Fuyuki's Grail War and planned their own ritual. After seventy years, they used the city Snowfield as the Sacred Land for their own Grail War. They were unable to successfully copy every aspect of the ritual, which lead to it acting only as an imitation that has lost the Saber class and allowed for the summoning of strange Servants due to the definition of a "hero" being blurred.
