Alexander IVWP (アレクサンドロス四世?) is a 4th century BC Macedonian figure.
Profile
Background
Son of Iskandar, Alexander IV lived during the 4th century BC, and died when he was still young. For a period of his life he was the prisoner of CassanderWP, who forbid him from reading despite his talent for languages.[2]
As part of a collaborative project between Wuzhiqi, Ziz, and a Crudelis Magus, Alexander's corpse ingested the flesh of three Gods: Sun Wukong, Set, and Oceanus. This created Ergo, a new personality inhabiting Alexander's corpse. Ptolemy I Soter participated in the project because he wanted to revive Alexander. Ptolemy wanted to bring him back so that Alexander could read as much as he wanted to. However, despite having the same body, Ergo and Alexander are not the same person.[3]
He was 14 years old when he died.[1]
Appearance
Alexander IV is identical in appearance to Ergo. According to Gray, his one difference from Ergo is that Alexander IV has the sad eyes of someone who gave up everything.[4]
Personality
Alexander took more after his motherWP than his father.[5] He loved stories.[2]
Role
The Adventures of Lord El-Melloi II
Legacy of the Alchemist
Within the Library of Alexandria, Latio Crudelis Hiram discovers a hologram of Ergo in ancient clothing. Ptolemy is surprised at him being called Ergo, and says that the hologram is of Alexander IV, Iskandar's son.[4]
Abilities
Alexander IV was born with the incredible talent to be able to read anything without needing to study the language. This was passed on to Ergo, who can learn languages at an incredible pace as he hears them.[2]

今回の「冒険」シリーズの主眼となる、「神を喰らった男」。
その正体は、五巻で明らかになった通り、■■■■■■■■■■。イラストの坂本みねぢさんには、青年に成長したFGOの■■■■■■■をイメージしてくださいと発注していたのである。性質は父親よりも母親似。
作中、エルメロイII世による審神者の儀と、『神核装填』『神格展開』『神殻纏繞』の三段階で顕現する神性は、今回のシリーズの見どころ。
一作目においてはほぼ無垢と言ってよかった青年は、エピソードごとにその性質を大きく変えていく。エルメロイII世との出会いによって好奇心を、両儀未那との出会いによって物語への興味を、白若瓏（バイ・ルォロン）との出会いによって負けん気の強さを触発され、一歩ごとに新しくなっていかざるを得ない。それは成長であり同時に喪失でもある。
