==Profile==
===Identity===
Alexander the Great, the , summoned as the child aspect known by the name Alexander rather than the adult aspect known as Iskandar. 
===Appearance===
Rider is summoned in his form as a child as his time as the young prince of Macedonia in the 4th Century BC. He was known as a "peerless pretty boy" who was noticed by many sages, such as , as a prodigy.
===Personality===
Alexander is an "innocent child who loves the epic poem 'Iliad' from the bottom of his heart." Summoned in this form, both his figure and mentality are that of his youth, but he has not lost his memories of his life. Those from after his adolescence are "somewhat lacking a sense of reality". As he is the "embodiment of the mentality of one who attempts to take his very first steps", he can be said to assist his Master's own steps, but he will not be pleased when he notices that the "demise of human history means nothing but the closing of even his own possibilities."

====Final Singularity: Solomon====

==== Summer Event: Servant Summer Festival! ====
During a cookout, Alexander and Yan Qing notice that Ushiwakamaru is upset about something and offer to help. After hearing Medb’s contest is rigged in her favor, Alexander decides they must turn the contest into one where victory is indisputable, like sports or a martial arts match. Ushiwakamaru doubts Medb would agree to change the rules, knowing that she only cares about winning. She knows it’s pointless for Yan Qing to disguise himself as Medb because unless Medb herself admits defeat, her accomplices would twist the situation to her advantage. Alexander calls on El-Melloi II to devise a strategy. El-Melloi II complains it’s too hot out for him to think, so the best plan he can offer is a simple one. Alexander says it’s fine as a more complicated plan means more variables that need to be accounted for. El-Melloi II agrees and devises a plan to use Medb’s popularity against her, for which Yan Qing will be key. 
====Interlude====
In his interlude, The Beginning of a Trampling Conquest, Alexander requests to meet Achilles. Romani Archaman tells him though that they were unable to summon Achilles, but Alexander decides to search for him. He suggests searching Okeanos for him since the Argo was there. Mash then recalls how Alexander during Rome was able to trigger a chained summoning of Darius III. Alexander, Ritsuka, and Mash then rayshift to Okeanos. Alexander is shocked at the sight of the sea when the group are ambushed by pirates. After the pirates retreat, Achilles confronts the group. Alexander challenges him to a fight, but he rejects it since he is mentoring the pirates now. Achilles then rallies the pirates to fight the group again. After defeating the pirates, Alexander praises Achilles’ talents as a general. He finds a fight between two armies led by great commanders is more invigorating that a one-on-one battle. He then falls asleep from exhaustion.

===Comments from Illustrator===
"I had to look twice the first moment I got the designation. I was worried about how much of Iskandar’s looks I left (although it’s the opposite), but I already went serious and drew him. I wanted to make Bucephalus huge in contrast to a young boy of delicate looks, but since the main point, Alexander, would get smaller in the screen, she’s still growing… that’s the little excuse in my brain for making her smaller." (BUNBUN)
