"There were two brilliant periods in my life. That is why I have two forms."

Ptolemaîos can be said to have had two primes in his life. One when he conquered the world alongside Iskandar, and another when he ruled over Egypt as pharaoh.

The former version of him is a dashing, vigorous man who gets along well with his Master, making him a reliable soldier. The latter Ptolemaîos is a king who built a dynasty and carries himself with dignity. He tends to make others, including Master, nervous. Even so, he will prove an excellent partner.

Despite the stark contrast in their appearance, the two's core attitudes do not differ. This is hardly surprising, as his younger and older selves were equally constructed within Ptolemaîos using an ability similar to the Atlas Institute's Memory Partition.

According to legend, Ptolemaîos was said to be able to gain a near complete understanding of anyone in even a brief exchange. This talent was said to have helped him assemble scholars to establish his glorious academic institution, the mouseion.

In this world, this incredible ability served as his foundation. As a result, he came into contact with an organization made up of alchemists based in Egypt...the Atlas Institute.

His sole criterion for everything is the question of whether it holds value. As Ptolemaîos is old at heart when he looks young, and vice versa, he is skilled at assessing issues and events from a variety of perspectives. If Chaldea's Master's actions are considered valuable to the world, the old and young versions Ptolemaîos of will be quick to offer aid. On the other hand, if they deem there to no longer be no such value, they will reject Master regardless of how deep a bond has been formed.

...Just as he had to do during the Wars of Alexander's Successors (Diadochi) between Iskandar's generals.

Charisma of Salvation: A

A unique form of Charisma for Ptolemaîos I, who bore the title of Soter (savior). Compared to the first half of his life, which was filled with bloodshed, his latter years were said to have been characterized by a merciful reign.

Memory Partition (King): A

A skill that is superficially similar to the Atlas Institute's Memory Partition. This skill was learned not through training. Rather, Ptolemaîos was born with it. It may not be as apparent because this ability does not require Mystics, but as a phenomenon it is similar to a kind of supernatural power.

Connection to Wisdom: EX

By accessing his own Noble Phantasm, the Great Library of Alexandria, he accesses his own stored Spirit Origin information and converts it. By doing so, Ptolemaîos is able to intercept the enemy in the form most optimal for a given situation.

『Pharos Tis Alexandrias』

Rank: B++

NP Type: Anti-Fortress

Range: 0-50

Maximum Target: 100

Eternal Light Unknown to the Moon.

In Greek, it is written as ΦΑΡΟΣ ΤΗΣ ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΕΙΑΣ. Known as one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Lighthouse of Alexandria was said to be able to seek others or burn ships on the coastline up to fifty-six kilometers away. What Ptolemaîos uses as his Noble Phantasm is the mirror that serves as the lighthouse's core. This mirror, obtained during a conquest with Iskandar in his youth, converts all energy into intense light and heat. It is normally placed inside his armor and feeds on the innate magical energy of Ptolemaîos, who would later go on to organize the High Priests, then unleashes a beam of intense light.

This Noble Phantasm shares some similarities to Archimedes's Katoptron Katho Phlegon.

『Bibliothēkē Basileiou』

Rank: A+

NP Type: Bounded Field/Anti-Army

Range: 1-30

Maximum Target: 100

King's Library.

In Greek, it is written as ΒΙΒΛΙΟΘΗКΗ ΒΑΣΙΛΕΙΟΥ. The Great Library of Alexandria, which Ptolemaîos built with his son, is summoned. However, the Great Library of Alexandria summoned as a Noble Phantasm is a fusion of the "other Great Library of Alexandria" created by Ptolemaîos in cooperation with the Atlas Institute.

Upon the Noble Phantasm activation, a tree bearing Photonic crystals equivalent to the Philosopher's Stone grows, providing the wisdom of the Atlas Institute to all allies while simultaneously using its defense mechanisms to attack the enemy. Those who receive the wisdom of the Atlas Institute are temporarily granted Thought Acceleration and Memory Partition, while also being more generally strengthened. This also grants them the same future-focused thinking the alchemists of the Atlas Institute are known for.

『Soter』

Rank: EX

NP Type: Anti-History/Anti-Fortress

Range: 1-99

Maximum Target: 1000

Ashen wisdom.

In Greek, it is written as ΣΩТΗΡ. This is a not a third Noble Phantasm, but rather a fusion of Bibliothēkē Basileiou and Pharos Tis Alexandrias. The Atlas Institute's information hidden inside Bibliothēkē Basileiou is converted into magical energy light through Pharos Tis Alexandrias, which is then discharged. The tree of crystals inside Ptolemaîos serves to anchor him, then several crystal lenses are created to further magnify light and turn Ptolemaîos into an artillery emplacement. Its light, born from the story of the Great Library of Alexandria burning down for the last time, has essentially the same intensity as the phenomenon the Beast used to reduce human history to ashes.

However, per the description mentioned earlier, using this Noble Phantasm will make it impossible to access the Bibliothēkē Basileiou and will destroy even the Pharos Tis Alexandrias. It will also shatter Ptolemaîos's Spirit Core, making it a Triple Broken Phantasm. Soter is Ptolemaîos's second name, meaning savior, reliever, or guardian. The moment the wisdom he devoted his entire being to protecting is burned away...is the moment true salvation appears before us.
