Is it explained how Achilles and Astolfo can lend Noble Phantasm? I have only
seen the anime so I am not sure if this is covered in the novels but for
Charon to ask for a Noble Phantasm would indicate he knew that Achilles could
lend Noble Phantasm to anyone or he specifically knew Achilles would run into
Astolfo. From a previous
[question](https://anime.stackexchange.com/q/55741/28632) I asked it was
indicated that this was a unique circumstance of Achilles being known for
lending his Noble Phantasms and Astolfo borrowing Noble Phantasm. Is this a
unique interaction between Achilles and Astolfo or is this just a power of
Achilles or Astolfo?

How can Achilles and Astolfo lend Noble Phantasm?


In actual legends, Achilles is known for giving away relics (e.g. For
Patroclus to impersonate him, lending him his chariot and armor), and Astolfo
is known for receiving them in his legend (which is why he has so many
different Noble Phantasms, which he collected through his adventures). These
circumstances allow the two to transfer and recieve other Noble Phantasm,
which would not normally be possible (although there are exceptions, such as
Berserker from Fate/Zero).

The anime itself is a poor adaptation, and glosses over or outright changes a
lot of context and background information. Therefore a lot of thing the
audience should know are left out arbitrarily.
