Overview[]
Nature[]
Tiamat is originated from the primordial Goddess of Chaos from Mesopotamian mythology. She is also the Second Beast, whose sin is Regression (as in the evil of wanting others to stay the same and resenting when they change).
Tiamat was in a deep slumber before being freed by a combination of the Human Order falling apart, the power of a Holy Grail, and Chaldea's presence. She immediately followed her instincts and began the extermination of humanity.
While she holds a grudge for being abandoned after her purpose was fulfilled, she indulges in the joy of once again becoming the mother of everything. At the bottom of her hatred towards humanity, there is also joy towards humanity for becoming a mother, as well as love towards humanity, them being the children of her first-generation children. For this reason, Beast II binds herself. A mother’s love is something necessary for growth, but it is something unnecessary for adults. In order for humanity to advance to the next stage, they must overcome the “original woman”.
Official Despcription[]
Tiamat is the womb that was cast aside after the world was created. She is the Maternal Sea who was used as the soil to give birth to life, but once the Earth’s environment settled and ecosystems were established, Tiamat was deemed unnecessary and driven out into the world of imaginary numbers. (The Inner World. Lifeless imaginary number space, not a parallel universe.)
Because the Earth’s ecosystems were established, Tiamat, who randomly designs life, was no longer needed. The goddess became nothing more than an obstacle to the process by which life forms acquired the intelligence determined by the planet. Since then, Tiamat has been waiting in the world of imaginary numbers for her chance to return to Earth.
Roles[]
Origin[]
In Sumerian Mythology, the gods were given birth from the pairing of Tiamat, who is the salt water, and Abzu, who is the fresh water. Afterwards, the gods, whom are their children, waved their banner of revolution against the primeval father Abzu and acquired supremacy over the world. At this moment, Tiamat gently approved the deeds of her children. It is proof that her love for her children has won over her love for her husband.
However, the gods pointed their blades even at Tiamat, their mother. Tiamat, in her grief and disorder, gave birth to 11 Magical Beasts as her new children, and they altogether had a showdown with the gods. At the end of the conflict, Tiamat and her 11 Magical Beasts were torn apart. It is said that the gods tore up her corpse into two, forming heaven and earth from it, and thus, had established the ritual for the creation of the World of Man.
Babylonia: The Absolute Frontline in the War Against the Demonic Beasts[]
With the collapse of the Human Order Foundation and due to the power/distortion of the Holy Grail from Goetia's actions, Tiamat achieved her return to the world of humans. However, she was in the middle of a deep slumber. Merlin's magecraft continued to keep her asleep and she had to work through Gorgon and her allied children to face Chaldea in ancient Mesopotamia. Once Gorgon was defeated, Tiamat woke from her sleep and set out to destroy humanity in accordance with her primal instincts.
Fate Extra/CCC[]
In Fate/Extra CCC, Tiamat was mentioned in BB's Potnia Theron Skill. It is the authority of the Earth Mother Goddess whom BB compiled and absorbed from the abyss of the Moon Cell. It is the embodiment of the power of creation possessed by the mother goddesses, originating from a forgotten goddess approximately 8000 years ago (the goddess of Çatalhöyük), and branching to Tiamat, among other goddesses.
Fate/Grand Order Arcade[]
In Fate/Grand Order Arcade, Tiamat from the original Fate/Grand Order timeline manifested as a Alter Ego-class Servant she created known as Larva Tiamat for the purpose of manifesting in the Arcade timeline's version of the Babylon Singularity. With the advent of a "fellow calamity from the sea, that was later revealed to be Queen Draco, she manifested for the purpose of allying with Chaldea and protecting the humanity that defeated her earlier from destruction. Tiamat formed her larval Alter Ego with the basis of "what if I reset myself and were reborn."

Trivia[]
- Tiamat was taken into consideration as a boss of a raid event when planning Fate/Grand Order in 2014, originally planned to be an anthropomorphism of the sea, someone similar to a generator that produces powerful Magical Beasts, and she was depicted as an unequalled beautiful woman that dissolves into the chaotic mud.
- Tiamat's overall character is a homage to Dark Sakura of Fate/stay night with how both control an evil mud-like substance as part of their powers, act out of an extremely corrupt and obsessive love, and are associated with another character related to Medusa/Gorgon from Greek mythology.
- To date, Tiamat is one of the oldest characters of Fate/Grand Order, since she was the very first known Goddess of Mother Earth in the story.
- Kingprotea, one of the Sakura Five, bears the Component Spirits of every Goddesses of Mother Earth, including Tiamat.
- Before her debut as a summonable Servant in Fate/Grand Order Arcade Version, Tiamat is never heard speaking in human language. In the original game, Tiamat only screams Kingu's name and communicates to her children by singing an unidentifiable aria. However, in the anime, she was heard speaking in human language to Ritsuka Fujimaru, after he entered her mind in her last moments. She is capable of speaking in human language in the Arcade game as an Alter Ego Servant.
- Tiamat's Alter Ego self is able to temporarily revert back to her true form as a colossal dragon-like entity for her Noble Phantasm.
