Ptolemaios is the leader of the Ptolemaic Army and a major antagonist of Metal Slug series, serving as the unseen overarching and main antagonist of Metal Slug 5. He first appears physically as a major character in Metal Slug Attack as the archenemy of the Red Goblin.

History[]

Metal Slug 5[]

Ptolemaios was originally one of the natives who protected the Corridor of Fire. After finding a strange ritual mask and wearing it, he leaves the tribe and secretly starts working to bring the Avatar of Evil into our world, creating a cult of shamans and taking over the Ptolemaic Army, which he controls from the shadows.

It is unknown what happened to him after the group is defeated and the Evil Spirit banished.

Metal Slug Attack[]

At some point, Ptolemaios annihilated a secret society known as the "Red Goblin".

Swearing vengeance, the group's leader took the name of the society as his own and began seeking to get revenge on Ptolemaios for his society's destruction, resulting in a lifelong feud between the two. It was later revealed that Mira is actually Ptolemaios' daughter from the future.

Powers & Abilities[]

While in the main game, Ptolemaios' true powers were never revealed due to being an unused sprite. Judging from the sprites, the pillar he rode are capable of wide array of dark magic.

As of his introduction in Metal Slug Attack, Ptolemaios is capable of increasing his power even when he is defeated, growing stronger on every defeat by swallowing gemstones to supplement his strength. His pillar was created with the Sol Dae Rokker's power. His ability to gain strength is so vast that he is able to revert back to his younger form, although temporarily.

Trivia[]

  • Ptolemaios never appears in the actual game, only appearing during a cutscene after the first mission showing him donning the ritual mask.
  • Ptolemaios was supposed to be a boss in the game, being scrapped due to the game being rushed to release. There are unused sprites in the game's data of his planned boss fight, where he controls a floating totem. These sprites were later used in the tower defense game Metal Slug Attack.
