Ptolemaios is an unused boss from Metal Slug 5 who would become playable in Metal Slug Attack. He is the commander-in-chief and cult leader of the Ptolemaic Army.
The Red Goblin seeks to avenge his fallen society in the Extra Ops "Ptolemaic Attack", which Ptolemaios had destroyed. At the end of that Extra Ops, Ptolemaios is killed by the Red Goblin.
He does not make an appearance again until the Extra Ops "Signs of Curse", where Ptolemaios revived himself through an unknown method, though it cursed him. He arrives back at the base, where his soldiers are happy to see their leader again. Annette confronts Ptolemaios and his Special Forces soldiers, and defeats him. It is unknown what happened to him afterwards.
In "Royal Identity", Ptolemaios tasks Mira with stopping a Rebel Army advance. A masked soldier is suspicious of Mira, though Ptolemaios assures him that she is on their side. When Mira drives the Rebel Army away, the masked soldier becomes terrified of her powers. Ptolemaios believed that Mira did fairly well and that she has given him additional time. He then tells the soldier not to worry about Mira, as she won't betray them.
It is presumed that the events of "Royal Identity" strengthened Ptolemaios, as in the Extra Ops Cross Over Fate, Ptolemaios becomes incredibly powerful, harnessing the power of the Avatar of Evil as Abyssal Ptolemaios. This Ptolemaios travels through time to the past, to prevent the future from being changed by Elena and Licht after the two decide to go to the past to stop him before he becomes unstoppable.
Ptolemaios continues to gain more strength as the war intensified, soon being able to return to his younger form, using Mira's powers, but only for a short duration. In his youthful form, he runs into Ralf Jones, who is escorting a Super Cannon Transport. Ptolemaios toys around with Ralf, who demands he unleash his full power. Ptolemaios complies simply to show Ralf the despair he will face, but Achetto runs in and tells him that he will kill Mira if he continues to use his power, so he relents.
Another Story[]
First appearing in the story "Ωmegalpha", he is shown in one of the Red Goblin's nightmares. The Red Goblin later confronts and defeats him.
He later appears in the story "Cloak of Darkness", where he relays orders to a masked soldier for the Ptolemaic Army to bolster their strength for the "fateful" day.
Ptolemaios is later killed in another unknown incident, although he is revived by Mira following a ritual which drains most of her Anima. He shows some concern after sensing this, but gladly accepts her offer to claim the world as her own.
