===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 ), 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.
During the where Iskandar's generals fought over his territory after his death, the enemy that Ptolemy most wanted to avoid was Eumenes.The Adventures of Lord El-Melloi II Volume 4: Legacy of the Alchemist (Upper) - Chapter 3
===Appearance===
===Personality===
The young Ptolemy is a lively, glowing man. He gets along easily with his Master, and is a warrior fit to command. 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.
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.

In doing so, he also burns out his Spiritual Core and dies.Fate/Grand Order - Event: Castle of White Sky, Castle of Black Night - Chapter 19
===Ionioi Hetairoi Servant===
When summoned as a Servant of Ionioi Hetairoi, Ptolemy does not have a Servant Class, his own Skills, or Noble Phantasms. 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. He is granted E- Independent Action, so he can only exist for "30 turns" upon manifestation.
