PtolemyWP (プトレマイオスWP, Putoremaiosu?), Class Name Archer (アーチャー, Āchā?), is an Archer-class Servant summoned by Ritsuka Fujimaru in the Grand Orders of Fate/Grand Order. He comprises the First Ascension and Second Ascension of the Saint Graph, while his older self comprises the Third Ascension. He is also summoned as a Non-classed Servant by Iskandar's Noble Phantasm Ionioi Hetairoi.
Profile
Background
Ptolemy is one of the generals of Alexander the Great who became the ruler of Egypt following Alexander's death. Ptolemy founded the Ptolemaic dynasty which ruled Egypt for 275 years, until the death of his descendant Cleopatra. There is another Servant version of Ptolemy who embodies him as an old man and the ruler of Egypt, while this younger version embodies his youth as a soldier under Alexander the Great. He did not gain the epithet "Soter" until several years after Iskandar's death.
Ptolemy was born with an innate ability similar to Atlas alchemists' Memory Partition. According to legend, Ptolemy would be able to thoroughly analyze others with only a short exchange. This talent would help beckon similarly powered scholars and establish his glorious academic institute (the MouseionWP), and, in this setting, said superhuman abilities would serve as its basis. As a result of his similar abilities, he came in contact with Atlas.[1]
During the Wars of the DiadochiWP where Iskandar's generals fought over his territory after his death, the enemy that Ptolemy most wanted to avoid was Eumenes.[2]

Personality
The young Ptolemy is a lively, glowing man. He gets along easily with his Master, and is a warrior fit to command.[1] Like all of his fellow comrades in Ionioi Hetairoi, he is unquestionably loyal to Iskandar and always supports his cause.
Despite the stark contrast of appearances, the young and old Ptolemys are of the same mindsets. It is because of this that the Servant Ptolemy was constructed with his old and young forms simultaneously.[1]
He bases things off of asking himself "In what way, or how" something can be utilized. Ptolemy, thinking young while old and old while young, is astounding at deeply examining things and events from a plethora of perspectives. If he decides the Chaldean Master's actions have merit for the world, his young and old selves will easily cooperate. On the other hand, should that be lost, and his Master firmly refuses to ever change their mind, Ptolemy will unwaveringly deliver punishment, no matter how deep a bond they share. Just as he had to do during the Wars of the Diadochi against his companions.[1]
Relationships
- Iskandar
- "Well if it isn't little Is-...no, my king, Iskandar. How glorious, to meet once more! Hm? I can keep the "little"? Come now, don't be like that! You're not 60cm smaller than me or something! In fact...yes, we should be more thankful for the miracle that reunited us!"[3]
- Alexander
- "Well if it isn't little...wait, you are little! As little as when were in school in Mieza! And you say you have a Professor, some Zhuge Liang, too??? What does that mean!?"[3]
- Hephaestion Mnemosyne
- "I figured you would be here, Shadow. Yes, I know what you want to say to me. Someday, I will oblige to your deathmatch. But for now, I have my duties with my Master to uphold."[3]
- Darius III
- "You were quite strong, Darius. I never would've believed we'd be strong enough to fare against the Persian Immortals and win!"[3]
- Cleopatra
- "My dynasty's final queen. While this form of mine knows not of it, she has undergone many hardships. A fine queen. She smells of our same scorched desert."[3]
- Zhuge Liang
- "El-Melloi II? Sounds like quite a name, I guess. What!? You served under Iskandar!? I can't just ignore that! I gotta tell you about all the bad things he did!"[3]
- Gray
- "Oho! Now that's a weapon you've got there, gravekeeper! Care to compare it with my mirror?"[3]

Skills
Class Skills
- Magic Resistance (B Rank)
- Independent Action (A Rank)
- Territory Creation (A+ Rank)
- Saint Graph Data Preservation (A Rank)
Personal Skills
- Savior's Charisma (A Rank): A unique form of Charisma granted for Ptolemy I having the title of Soter (savior). In comparison to the bloodied front half of his life, his latter half was a time spent on a compassionate reign.[1]
- Memory Partition (King) (A Rank): A skill superficially similar to the Memory Partition of Atlas, but Ptolemy was born with it innately while for Atlas alchemists it is a learned ability. Due to not necessarily requiring Mystery, it is best compared to superhuman phenomenon like Psychic powers.[1]
- Reach Towards Wisdom (EX Rank): Due to being able to access the Library of Alexandria with his Noble Phantasm Bibliotheca Basileus, he can obtain, and also change, the information saved to his own Saint Graph. This makes it possible for Ptolemy to recognize the suitable form and skills required to counter any enemy.[1]
Noble Phantasm
The young Ptolemy's Noble Phantasm is Pharos Tis Alexandrias. It is the mirror that served as the center of the Lighthouse of AlexandriaWP, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient WorldWP. It is a mirror that converts all forms of energy into a powerful light and heat, and is something he obtained on his adventures with Iskandar.[8]
Ptolemy can combine his old and young Noble Phantasms into a third Noble Phantasm, Soter. His library amplifies the light of his mirror, and both are turned into Broken Phantasms to multiply the attack further. In doing so, he also burns out his Spiritual Core and dies.[9]
Ionioi Hetairoi Servant
When summoned as a Servant of Ionioi Hetairoi, Ptolemy does not have a Servant Class, his own Skills, or Noble Phantasms.[10] Servant Classes are unnecessary to be assigned to those summoned in such a capacity, and Noble Phantasms cannot be manifested due to the limitations of Iskandar's abilities.[10] He is granted E- Independent Action, so he can only exist for "30 turns" upon manifestation.[11]
Development
Creation and Conception
Ptolemy concept art in Lord El-Melloi II Case Files material, illustrated by Shidzuki Morii.
Ptolemy like all members of the Ionioi Hetairoi, was designed by Shidzuki Morii for one of several booklet images included with Sound Drama Fate/Zero CD in 2010.[12] He remained unnamed for years afterwards, excluding a parody nickname in Sensha Otoko in 2012.[7] Upon the development of the Lord El-Melloi II's Case Files anime adaptation, Ptolemy and Eumenes received special attention in being given updated designs.[13][14] The two of them were given names on their design pages in Lord El-Melloi II Case Files material in 2019.[14]
Ptolemy was designed by Shidzuki Morii in Fate/Grand Order. For his debut, Makoto Sanda wanted two young Ascensions then one old Ascension for him, but was on the fence because having two designs would be too much extra work for the illustrator and the sprite modellers. Morii suggested the same idea, which allowed it to go forward.[15]

A past hero you may know from Case Files, cheating his way into making an appearance.
He was a vassal of Iskandar and one of the very few winners in the Wars of the Diadochi. The founder of the Ptolemaic Dynasty of Egypt.
He was illustrated by Sakamoto Mineji but originally designed by Morii Shizuki, tying in with how Morii drew him for Case Files Materials.
As alluded to in-story, he is the kind of Servant that had two golden ages in life, so his best Noble Phantasm differs depending on if he’s in his younger or older days. The Noble Phantasm of his younger days is Pharos Tis Alexandreias. It’s the mirror that served as the vital point of the Pharos Lighthouse, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. This mirror that converts all forms of energy into powerful light and heat is something Ptolemy obtained during his expeditions with Iskandar.プトレマイオス【人名】
