Singularity A: Ozymandias
A sun king's domain in a fractured Holy Land, where the Lion King's crusade threatens the proper flow of history.
This entry describes a non-canonical anomaly. In Fate/Grand Order, Ozymandias (Rameses II) appears in the Sixth Singularity 'Camelot', where he rules Egypt as an ally of the Lion King, not in a Library of Alexandria-based frozen timeline.

Lore & Background
In the Sixth Singularity 'Camelot', Ozymandias is a king of Egypt who has allied with the Lion King, not a vessel for freezing history. There is no secret Church organization called the 'Foundation' orchestrating Singularities; the Holy Church and its subgroups (e.g., the Burial Agency) are the relevant organizations. The Master's mission is to restore the proper timeline by overcoming the Lion King's distortions, not to break a cycle of frozen knowledge.
In Their Own Story
The sun beat down on the marble streets of Alexandria, casting long shadows from towers that had stood for millennia without a single crack. In the Great Library, scrolls of every language hummed with a low, electric vibration as Da Vinci's consciousness wove through the shelves. Ozymandias sat upon his throne, eyes closed, listening to the silence of a world that would never change again. A traveler from another time stepped forward, their presence disrupting the perfect stillness, and for the first time in centuries, the King opened his eyes with a mixture of sorrow and defiance.
Reader's Guide
The journey begins when Chaldea detects a massive temporal distortion in Alexandria, prompting the Master to deploy a team including Gilgamesh. Upon arrival, they discover a city that defies historical records, ruled by an immortal Ozymandias who has frozen time to preserve human knowledge. As the party explores, they encounter Servants like Da Vinci and Medusa, who have been manipulated into serving this false utopia. The conflict escalates as the Master realizes that Ozymandias's goal is not just preservation but the erasure of all future possibilities, effectively ending humanity's story before it can truly begin. The climax involves a confrontation with Ozymandias and his AI partner, where the Master must choose between accepting a perfect, stagnant world or embracing the chaotic potential of an uncertain future. Through their actions, they shatter the illusion, restoring the timeline and proving that human progress requires both triumph and tragedy.
Did You Know?
- Ozymandias is based on the historical pharaoh Rameses II and appears in the Sixth Singularity 'Camelot', not in a Library of Alexandria setting.
- Gilgamesh does not appear in the Sixth Singularity; he is a key figure in the Seventh Singularity 'Babylonia' and other events.
- There is no unique AI version of Leonardo da Vinci in any Ozymandias-related Singularity; Da Vinci appears as a Caster Servant throughout the main story.
- The 'Foundation' is not a canon organization in Fate/Grand Order; the Church's secret groups include the Holy Church and the Burial Agency.
