Nebuchadnezzar II.5

, acting under the name , is the King of Babylon in the Babylon Singularity of Fate/Grand Order Arcade.
==Profile==
===Identity===
The body of the King of Babylon is that of Gilgamesh, and the Soul is that of Nebuchadnezzar II. A king of the 7th Century BC famed for reconstructing Babylon and creating the Hanging Gardens, but who according to the Old Testament eventually went mad. Though he held the power of the Age of Gods, he was unable to surpass his Human limits due to not living in the Age of Gods, his life-long regret. 
Using the Bewitching Queen Draco's Holy Grail, Nebuchadnezzar II's soul was sent back in time to after Gilgamesh died, where he possessed a clone of Gilgamesh's body. He began working to create a Babylon even greater than the one from his era, trying to use Gilgamesh's power to succeed where he previously failed. 
He refers to Beast VI, Bewitching Queen Draco, as his wife.
===Appearance===
===Personality===
Nebuchadnezzar II is influenced by Gilgamesh's body, such as being drawn to things with value.
Nebuchadnezzar II constantly tries to make himself to get closer to godhood, something that starts to become successful once he has taken over the body of Gilgamesh. 
==Role==
===Fate/Grand Order Arcade===
====Babylon: Critically Propserous City====
Gilgamesh II rules an ancient Babylon that is far more advanced and prosperous than it should be in that period of time. His palace is known as the Gold Hanging Gardens, within the City of Vanity. He defeats the Servants aiding Chaldea the first time they meet, forcing them to retreat.Fate/Grand Order Arcade - Babylon Singularity, Node 4Fate/Grand Order Arcade - Babylon Singularity, Node 5
After he is defeated, Bewitching Queen Draco appears and floods the city and tells him that calamity from the sea is the natural end to the road of building fortune upon the earth. Nebuchadnezzar II states that he is satisfied because he amassed a fortune and turned Babylon into to the greatest city in human history. However just as a fully ripened fruit eventually rots, completing a city must also mean accepting its ruin. As he dies his one regret is he couldn't build a perfect "city of evil".Fate/Grand Order Arcade - Babylon Singularity, Node 6
==Abilities==
Despite being born in the 7th Century BC, Nebuchadnezzar II possessed powers of the Age of Gods since birth. However, because he couldn't overcome the limitations of his Human body due to not living during the Age of Gods, said power was incomplete. Thanks to Bewitching Queen Draco using the Holy Grail to summon his Soul into the past to merge with a clone made out of Gilgamesh's remains, Nebuchadnezzar basically got a "free ticket" to the best incarnation ever possible. In an era at the end of the Age of Gods, where the air was still filled with abundant Magical Energy, his power is greatly enhanced. Having incarnated into the ultimate Heroic Spirit body, he became a being closer to the gods who transcended mortal Authorities. Because Gilgamesh was born between a human and a god, his body is that of a god, granting Nebuchadnezzar II.5 absurd amounts of Magical Energy. Mash Kyrielight states his mana levels are off the charts, and Larva Tiamat says it surpasses even her current self.
===Combat===
He is under the protection and blessing of the Holy Grail as well. Noah theorises he possesses "an absolute advantage over Heroic Spirits"-ish ability, which according to Sakata Kintoki, makes him their natural enemy. Due to this, not even the combined efforts of Larva Tiamat, Mash Kyrielight, Lancelot, Sakata Kintoki, and Tamamo-no-Mae are able to match him in combat. Realizing they don't stand any chance at defeating him, Tamamo uses all her magic sleeves to create an opening to retreat. Despite her having heard about Gilgamesh's many legends, she never expected Gilgamesh II to be this ridiculously strong. 
Because Enkidu is a weapon meant to be used as a trump card against Gilgamesh, he states that he stands a chance at fighting Nebuchadnezzar II.5. Although the Fake King regards Enkidu as his only worthy opponent, Enkidu alone wouldn't be able to beat him, and thus, he asks Chaldea's Servants for their support. While Enkidu suppresses his powers, the remaining five servants manage to defeat him, not without taking an un-specified amount of damage. 
===Noble Phantasms===
Jeanne d'Arc notes that Nebuchadnezzar II is one of the two only Heroic Spirits that would possess the Hanging Gardens of Babylon as their Noble Phantasm, the other one being Semiramis. He is the proper owner of the fortress, compared to Semiramis who only obtained it through history having been distorted over time.Fate/Apocrypha Volume 2: Round Dance of Black / Festival of Red - Chapter 3
As Nebuchadnezzar II.5, he also gains access to Gate of Babylon. Since he isn't its true owner, his access to it is limited. Although the original Grail probably exists within Gilgamesh's treasury, Nebuchadnezzar was never able to access it. 
===Gameplay===
In gameplay Nebuchadnezzar II is simply a costume for Caster Gilgamesh and not a separate Servant, so his Skills and Noble Phantasm (Melammu Dingir) are the same as Gilgamesh's.
