'''Ptolemy''' was the first and greatest [[Librarian]] of the [[Ultramarines]], and founder of the [[Library of Ptolemy]] on [[Macragge]]. Ironically, by [[M41]], most of the details of his life were unknown. An example of this is that he was known to have been present for the trial of [[Magnus the Red]] (a likely reference to the [[Council of Nikaea]]), but it is unknown if he was an accuser or defender.<sup>{{Fn|1</sup>}}
