One of the two horns of Beast VI. Born from Depravity, it is said to manifest when the most prosperous city of an era reaches its zenith, so that it may savor its malignancy. It is the Beast from the New Testament that is said to have destroyed Babylon. Known as the "Beast of 666" and the "Enemy of God", it is said that she is the Beast that a certain Roman Emperor became. She is born from a "what-if" where Nero went against her fate of dying alone after witnessing that thrice setting sun.Fate/Grand Order - Sodom's Beast/Draco Profile - Translated by Petrikow
The one who lays waste to the most prosperous yet depraved cities of an age. It is not divine retribution or anything of the sort. It is because of the Holy Grail she possesses that the "city" prospered from the shadows in the first place.
What she feels is most "delicious" is the flesh of the fruit the moment before it rots. In other words, a city-state filled to the brim with human desire. When all desires able to be expressed by humans are contained within a single city, as in the case of , it will be offered up to her as the greatest dinner of all.
With these traits in mind, her class was determined, donning the temporary name of the great Whore of Babylon. Brought to life by mankind, she is the calamity who will find human history most satisfactory.
Beast VI is an Evil of Humanity which manifests in civilizations which have reached the height of their prosperity and are now past their transitional period. Her name is Beast VI/S. One of the seven Evils of Humanity, the Beast who embodies the .
She is not the Beast VI who Arthur Pendragon is hunting. According to Arthur, when Beast III/L and Beast III/R are both present, Beasts VI/S and VI/G will manifest. Merlin sent Arthur into the world of Fate/Grand Order mobile to search for L and R, prompting S to appear in Arcade's world.
===Appearance===
In her adult state, Whore of Babylon bears the appearance of an older and voluptuous Nero, corrupted with red and purple eyes, wearing nothing but blood, a red loincloth, and a golden plate on her belly. Her hands have claw-like nails, and she has red-and-white wolf tail and ears. Her Holy Grail Aurea Poculum, full of a vile black substance, floats above her.

===Personality===
What she feels is most "delicious" is the flesh of the fruit the moment before it rots. In other words, a city-state filled to the brim with human desire. When all desires able to be expressed by humans are contained within a single city, as in the case of Sodom and Gomorrah, it will be offered up to her as the greatest dinner of all. She savored the depravity of humanity with a sneering grin, laughing with satisfaction on occasion.
After battling with her in Babylon, she admits that the main reason why she is here is because she got bored with the Bestia Coccinea doing all of the fighting and wanted a chance to fight Chaldea herself, leaving with an open invitation to follow her into the Convergent Singularity where she will become an Adult Beast.
Her belief is that the Beasts are weak in comparison to humans; if humans are to be exterminated it will be by their own hand, which suits her just fine since she's more interested in devouring the Human Order right before it collapses.
She refers to Saber Nero as her "foolish self" and wants to tear off her uncle's head. She and the female Merlin are irreconcilable archenemies.
==Role==
===Fate/Grand Order Arcade===
Referred to by Ozymandias as the , by Larva Tiamat as a "fellow calamity from the sea",Fate/Grand Order Arcade - Larva/Tiamat's profile translated by ComunCoutinho and by Noah as , she is the origin of the Bestia Coccinea that have been impersonating Goetia's Demon Gods. She is the enemy behind the events of Fate/Grand Order Arcade and created seven Singularities in imitation of Goetia. But unlike Goetia's incineration of humanity, she pursues the total vanishing of the Human Order. Her ultimate goal is to consume it as a meal.
====Fourth Singularity: London====
Differing from Fate/Grand Order, Goetia inside the body of Solomon does not appear, instead replaced by a shadowy figure that does not interact directly with Chaldea.
====Event: Lady Reines' Case Files====
In the Arcade version of the event, Beast VI/S was the one responsible for Rhongomyniad going haywire and transforming Gray into an exact copy of Artoria Lancer. This was not known at the time, but Lord El-Melloi II would later deduce it when meeting Sodom's Beast/Draco.Fate/Grand Order x Fate/Grand Order Arcade collaboration event - Spiraling Testament World: Lilim Harlot - Chapter 1: The Present Lies at the Bottom of an Olden Limbo
====Sixth Singularity: Lost Jerusalem====
Draco was unable to reproduce the original Demon God that acted as the cornerstone of the singularity, so it was replaced by Demon God Allocer. The Allocer of the Singularity is eventually determined to be the Bestia Coccinea rather than a Demon God. Jacques de Molay utilizes the Holy Grail, which is filled with the . Ozymandias laments that his manifestation in the Singularity is his second time being forced to be the slave of a Beast.
====Seventh Singularity: Babylon====
She goes by the false name "Draco". Nebuchadnezzar II.5 refers to her as his wife. The Counter Force summoned the Grand Rider, Noah, to face her. However, she injured Noah, leading to his temporary fusion with a certain Heroic Spirit in order to survive.
She used the Holy Grail to send Nebuchadnezzar II's soul back in time to posses Gilgamesh's corpse, where "Gilgamesh II" then began to expand Babylon, turning it into a city of sin. Draco began feeding off the sin and amassing it in her chalice to become a fully fledged Beast. After manifesting she floods Babylon with a tidal wave.Fate/Grand Order Arcade: Babylon Singularity, Node 6
After battling Chaldea, Draco declares that she has only been playing so far and this is her larval state. She retreats, telling Chaldea that with her copies of the seven Singularities finished her path to Beasthood has been opened. She will be waiting for them in her final Singularity as a full-fledged Beast.Fate/Grand Order Arcade: Babylon Singularity, Node 7
====Convergent Singularity: Lilim Harlot====
Draco becomes a full-fledged Beast, revealing her True Name as the Whore of Babylon.Fate/Grand Order Arcade: Convergent Singularity - Corruption Fruit City: Lilim Harlot - Section 1: Capital of GreedFate/Grand Order Arcade: Convergent Singularity - Corruption Fruit City: Lilim Harlot - Section 7: Capital of LustFate/Grand Order Arcade: Convergent Singularity - Corruption Fruit City: Lilim Harlot - Section 8: Banquet of Depraved Civilization
She is ultimately defeated with the combined forces of Chaldea, Arthur Pendragon, Merlin, King Hassan as Grand Assassin, and Noah as Grand Rider.
==Abilities==
Once the Whore of Babylon became a full-fledged Beast, the quantity of her Magical Energy is considered immeasurable, and her Saint Graph is First Planetary-Class, superior to Goetia, who was Second Planetary-Class, and therefore any other villain Chaldea had ever faced in Fate/Grand Order up to the Atlantic Lostbelt. She claims that due to this, she is an existence far above the likes of Grand Assassin King Hassan, Grand Rider Noah, and Arthur Pendragon. She is the Beast that collects Humanity's sins of seeking out the Holy Grail and stocks them into her own Holy Grail to feed on.
It is revealed that even after her defeat as Beast VI/S and her willing transformation into an Alter-Ego, she still has the potential to transform back into Beast VI/S, as her Singularity still retains a connection to the worlds and Remnants of Sodom's Beast are still accumulating power to feed her growth. This was deemed such a threat that Senji Muramasa, who served the Alien God, was summoned across worlds to Arcade in order to sever the Karma the Lilim Harlot Singularity had to the various worlds, leaving her Draco Alter Ego permanently weakened but no longer at threat of becoming a Beast, as well as becoming more like Nero in personality. Even after doing so and saving Draco from transforming, the already accumulated power of the Singularity instead became a second instance of Beast VI/S, although it was only an echo of her power and not as strong as the fully-grown original. It was thus able to be defeated by Chaldea and Draco without the aid of any Grand Servants.Fate/Grand Order Arcade - The Severance of Fate. The Crimson Beast and The Flame’s Mission
===Combat===
Whore of Babylon describes the combined efforts of Grand Assassin King Hassan, Grand Caster-candidate Merlin, and Mash Kyrielight as an "ugly showing". When Grand Rider Noah interrupts them, he says he isn't much of a fighter, and that he brought Arthur Pendragon as a special fighting hand instead. With two Grand Heroic Spirits and the Knight of the Holy Sword, they are able to fight the Whore of Babylon. Thanks to Arthur releasing an unknown number of the Thirteen Seals of Excalibur Proto, Beast VI/S is defeated.
===Skills===
====Class Skills====
*Nega-Messiah (? Rank): Her Authority as a Beast. She addresses herself as the one who ridicules, slaughters and consumes the Messiah.
====Personal Skills====
*Number of the Beast (? Rank): The Number of the Beast, 666, engraved on herself.Fate/Grand Order Arcade — Profile of Sodom's Beast/Draco, translated by Justiciar_Jyggalag at Reddit.
*Aurea Poculum (? Rank): The grail held by the Whore of Babylon who appears in the . Though it is a counterfeit Holy Grail, it is because of this very fact that it became a "genuine" Holy Grail that grants the desires of humans without paying heed to right or wrong. It is clear on the occasion that this grail is held by the Whore of Babylon, which is the personification of the Roman Empire, that this grail symbolizes the wealth of the earth, which is the inversion of Christ's words, "Do not pile up the wealth of the earth."
===Noble Phantasm===
The adult Whore of Babylon's Noble Phantasm is Oblitus Rosae Theatrum.
===Human Order Annihilation===
She summons and controls the Bestia Coccinea and was able to create Imitation Singularities of Goetia's, which allowed her to pile up sins from them in addition to Humanity's sins of seeking out the Holy Grail and stock them into her own Holy Grail to use them as nutrients. However, eventually the "wishes of the masses" will provide no nourishment to her. In order to mature into a full-fledged Beast, she linked various different worlds from parallel timelines with her Convergent Singularity Lilim Harlot; a singularity whose structure is that of a miniature world: a conceptual universe. In other words, a super-compact size model case of a universe, where only a single living organism exists, Beast VI, and contains seven domains based on the previous imitation singularities, inhabited by the seven Bestia Coccinea that block the gate to the throne where Beast VI awaits. It is a graveyard of prosperities adorned by the rot of many Human Orders, the prophesied end of human history that the world is fated to reach due to humanity's self-ruination through seeking comfort and enjoyment.
Using her imitations of Goetia's Singularities, she connects many different worlds together and "deceives" Chaldea by using her Convergent Singularity to draw upon the wishes of the countless "Chaldeas" and the Last Master, who defeated the First Beast Goetia, within her Holy Grail as nourishment to drink from. The wishes of the "saviours who brought salvation unto the world", the only "wish" that will suffice in growing her horns into a Mature Beast being "to save the world"; each battle Chaldea fought in the Singularities, the very act of competing for the Holy Grail, providing sustenance for her growth to Beast VI/S.
Although she says this is a feat the other Beasts are incapable of achieving, she says it is little more than the main dish. By the time she becomes a mature Beast, she had already consumed countless Chaldeas in her Singularity.Fate/Grand Order Arcade — Profile of Sodom's Beast/Draco, translated by Justiciar_Jyggalag at Reddit.
Even after her defeat and transformation into an Alter Ego and ally, she still retains a connection to the Singularity and the Singularity to the various worlds. The Remnants of Sodom's Beast still remain deep in the heart of Lilim Harlot, accumulating power to turn Draco back into Beast VI/S. Through its connection to Draco, it summoned Abigail Williams, Skadi, Merlin, and Morgan le Fay to help gain power with new Remnant Singularities and Holy Grails, as well as to create trials to provide entertainment for Draco. It also summons Shadow Servants of Koyanskaya, Kama and Larva Tiamat to defend the Convergent Singularity. Only after Muramasa severed the connection between the world and Lilim Harlot, and after Chaldea and Draco defeated an echo of the second Beast VI/S created from the accumulated power, did the threat of the Singularity end, though Chaldea and Draco needed to rayshift to and resolve Morgan's surviving singularity due to her having gone rogue beforehand and creating a country to rule as Queen.
==Forms and Alternate Versions==
===Juvenile Beast===
 is Whore of Babylon's juvenile form as a Beast. By absorbing sins gathered through the seven Singularities she was able to become a full Beast.
====Appearance====
In her infantile state, Draco bears the appearance of a younger Nero, corrupted with red eyes and draconic features. She wears three crowns on her head and shoulders and a few strips of fabric that barely qualify as clothing, and carries a golden, jewel-encrusted Holy Grail full of a vile black substance. 
====Abilities====
Despite being an infantile Beast, Draco possesses a ridiculous amount of Magical Energy and a third Planetary Class Saint Graph, the same classification as Beast VII, and inferior to Goetia, who was second Planetary Class.Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Hell Realm Mandala, Heiankyo - Flash of Roaring Thunder, Prologue Although Beast VI is famed as the "The One that Devours Cities," her power surpassed "City" level, covering an entire continent. When preparing for combat, her already-massive magical energy reading increases further. 
Draco was able to use her Holy Grail to create a gigantic gravity shift amidst the which in turn generated a tsunami of unprecedented size, the likes of which have never been recorded in Proper Human History. Enkidu claims not even Tiamat is capable of invoking something as big, saying it surpasses even the Sea of Life. It is a wave that signals the end and reset of the World. It is revealed that this flood is a recreation of the myth of Sodom, and that the flood is actually the poisoned blood gushing out of her Holy Grail. She states that the ending was decided from the start, that "the most prospering city is fated to be devoured by a giant flood", and that the decadant Bayblon created by Nebuchadnezzar II.5 that piled was the sixth city(fruit) that would make it to her dining table.
Noah was summoned in the Grand Rider class to suppress her Authority and exterminate her. While he held back the tsunami, Enkidu, Larva Tiamat, Mash Kyrielight, Lancelot, Sakata Kintoki, and Tamamo-no-Mae fought Draco within her own overflowing Grail. Draco mocked them for planning to take her down without the aid of a Grand Servant. Although they manage to lower her Magical Energy, the amount is negligible, and she's still considered to be in top condition. Although they seemingly repel her, Kintoki states they lacked a final push, and Draco states she was bored. Despite the conditions to strike her down having been met with the summoning of a Grand Servant, the Grand Servant in question had spent all his power suppressing the tsunami instead of fighting. Noah states that was because he had been severely injured by Draco right after being summoned, preventing him from fighting at full capacity later on.
=====Skills=====
======Personal Skills======
*Migraine (? Rank): Just like Nero Claudius, Draco is affected by this skill.
=====Noble Phantasm=====
The juvenile Whore of Babylon's Noble Phantasm is Babalon Domus Aurea. 
===Alter Ego / Beast===
:
The Juvenile Beast VI/S reincarnated as an Alter Ego in Fate/Grand Order Arcade and as a playable Beast class Servant in Fate/Grand Order. Although both are identical in appearance and abilities, the Beast of Draco in Fate/Grand Order and the Alter Ego of Draco in Arcade are two separate entities.
==Development==
The Whore of Babylon was first mentioned in Fate/EXTRA, where Gawain called Nero by the name as an insult. She was mentioned again in BB's Profile in Fate/EXTRA CCC, in the description of Aurea Poculum.Fate/EXTRA CCC — Matrix of BB, translated by Master of Chaos at Beast's Lair.
A Servant voiced by Sakura Tange named "Mother Harlot" was discovered in the Fate/Grand Order game files in a datamine in 2015. Summer Nero foreshadowed the Whore of Babylon with her Seven Crowns skill, the description of which states "Behold, the seven necks smoldering in the roaring sea. Earth’s amassers of fortune, it is time to pour your desire into the golden goblet."Fate/Grand Order material V - Nero Cladius (Summer) profile - translated by ComunCoutinho Her Noble Phantasm incantation also describes the theatre "rising up from the sea", while the Whore of Babylon would repeat the reference by calling herself a "calamity rising up from the sea".
In Koha-Ace EX, Nero appears riding a seven-headed Beast and holding a cup in her hand as a reference to the Whore of Babylon.
===Creation and conception===
Juvenile Whore of Babylon is designed by Arco Wada in Fate/Grand Order Arcade.
Adult Whore of Babylon is designed by Kotetsu Yamanaka in Fate/Grand Order Arcade.Twitter Post by Kotetsu Yamanaka
Yamanaka Koutetsu: She has unhealthily pale skin, a face with no energy, and her eyes are the only part of her that shines. For her expressions, I was trying to make faces of mockery, contempt, delight, and Nero's characteristic solitude and despondency, with a layer of sordidness you can't find anywhere else in the Arthuria archetype. The armor pushing up her chest has wolf breasts on it. The crimson covering Beast VI's limbs and fur starts from her neck. The flames coming out of her feet have the yellow color of sulfur, with dashes of green gold to resemble the Japanese harlot Sasae.Fate/Grand Order Arcade material - Profile of Sodom's Beast/Draco, translated by Comun on Reddit
