Romani Archaman (ロマニ・アーキマン, Romani Ākiman?), nicknamed Dr. Roman (Dr. ロマン?), is the head of the medical department and later acting director of Chaldea Security Organization during the Grand Order conflicts of Fate/Grand Order.
Profile[]
Background[]
Romani's real identity is actually Solomon, the King of Magecraft. He was summoned by Marisbury Animusphere, who used one of his rings as a catalyst and was the first successful summoning in Chaldea Security Organization.[2][3] He and Marisbury participated in the "Singularity X", otherwise known as Fuyuki's Holy Grail War in 2004.[2][4] After emerging victorious with Marisbury in the Holy Grail War, he wished for a life as a normal human.[3][5] The wish he entrusted to the Holy Grail was “to become human”. Through the power of the Holy Grail, he was not “incarnated as a Heroic Spirit”, but instead was reborn as a new human that had no relation to King Solomon.[2] Shortly afterwards, he had a vision of Goetia stealing his original body and using it to enact the Incineration of Human Order, and began looking for a way to stop it.
After being reborn as a human, Romani traveled the world and earned his doctorate.[6] In the year 2005, Romani received a special invitation to join the staff of Chaldea. It was unheard of for someone to become the head of the medical facility in their 20s.[4] Lev Lainur and Romani had been school friends who had studied magecraft together.[7]
In 2010, Marisbury performed the Demi-Servant experiment, where they summoned Galahad into a subject. Romani wasn't aware of the existence until he became the physician of "Summoning Case #2", he gave the subject the name Mash Kyrielight. When Marisbury passed away and Olga Marie Animusphere took over as president, he wrangled permission from Marie to have Mash become part of the staff and encouraged her to be a Master candidate.[8]
A year before the start of Fate/Grand Order, Dr. Roman found that Beryl Gut had broken into Mash's room. He beat him up and forced him out before Beryl had a chance to hurt her.[9]
Appearance[]
He describes his hair as fluffy.[10] On his left hand, he wore the tenth ring of King Solomon, hidden under his gloves.[3]
Personality[]
After becoming human, Solomon finally acquired the human nature called romance. At his roots, he is a realist and a pessimist. Despite uttering wishful thinkings as a mood-maker, he seems somewhat shameless due to inwardly thinking of them as pipe dreams. While he likes humans, because of his chicken side that “does not want to see something sad”, he maintains a superficial socializing with anyone. In exchange, he can get along with anyone. An archetypal “everybody’s friend”. He has a bad habit of, when caught in a dilemma, ending up choosing to either “stick to observing without making any decisions” or “running away” so that “the status quo is preserved”. Since Roman himself is reflecting on such weakness of his, if someone in his surroundings were to just say a word - “Please, do your best” - he will somehow get a hold of himself and show a decisive judgment fitting of the king of magecraft.[2] He is prone to making many decisions based on the advice of his favorite Internet idol "Magi⭐Mari", who is later revealed to be Merlin in disguise.
Incidentally, because the first impression that any Servant ends up getting about Roman is “I don’t get the reason, but he is at fault here”, they unconsciously complained at him. The only ones who did not find fault at him were those who were not Servants, crackpots, and Berserkers that do not perceive evil as evil.[2]
His time spent as Romani has really been a dream-like time for him.[11]
He was yearning to know how it was like to experience "a human's freedom", even if it was as a Heroic Spirit.
Role[]
Fate/Grand Order[]
Romani is responsible for making sure the Master candidates stay in good health. When Chaldea was starting its Rayshift experiment, Olga Marie Animusphere drove him out of the control room because “When Roman is on-site, the entire atmosphere itself slacks off!”[10]
Prologue[]
Romani meeting Ritsuka after the latter enters the room.
Dr. Roman first encounters Ritsuka Fujimaru, when Romani was resting in Ritsuka's room. Stating he has little actual work to do since most medical procedures were carried out by machinery, he chats with Fujimaru for a long time, inadvertently (or not) saving them from Lev's betrayal.[10]

Seventh Singularity: Babylonia[]
Final Singularity: Solomon[]
After Mash sacrifices herself to protect Fujimaru, Roman reveals himself to be the real Solomon, King of Magecraft. It is unknown whether he knew Goetia's plan and simply did nothing like how he always acted, but his newly gained sentimentality alerted him of the imminent destruction of humanity. Though he realized this disaster the moment he turned human, he was then powerless to stop it. Since then he used every minute he had to learn whatever was necessary to stop what he had started. Even so he considered himself to be free.[3]
Facing Goetia, he activates his first Noble Phantasm, Ars Nova, which would completely destroy him and any traces of his accomplishment including his presence on the Throne of Heroes. He says his goodbyes to Fujimaru and says the rest is up to them, disappearing shortly after.[3]

Abilities[]
As a normal human, Romani has lost his Magic Circuits and his Clairvoyance power.[11] However he can abandon his wish to the Holy grail and revert back to his original self.[3] He also has the tenth ring of Solomon, which he can use to activate his Noble Phantasm Ars Nova once it is brought back together with the other nine.

Character details
An individual from 1011~931 BC.
The Third King of Ancient Israel
The great king who made Ancient Israel prosper the most.
Employing 72 demon gods, and also the first individual who build the Temple of Israel.
He performed excellent political measures as a king, but beside that also have many anecdotes as a magus.
Level 1 Bond
Solomon married with the daughter of an Egyptian Pharaoh, but it has been said that, later, God appeared while he was dreaming on his bed and said "you are qualified. Speak your wishes. I'll shall grant it".
Rather than gold or political power, he sought wisdom more than anything. God was satisfied. For that answer itself was proof that he had the qualifications to attain "true wisdom".
When he woke up, Solomon had ten rings inserted on both hands. It was the proof of the wise man recognized by God. Later, it would be called Ring of Solomon, the source of the magecraft that employs angels and demons.
Level 2 Bond
Chaldea’s heroic spirit summoning; its first successful example.
The Grand magus that participated and achieved victory on the Holy Grail War of Fuyuki, secretly summoned by Marisbilly Animusphere.
The wish he entrusted to the Holy Grail was “to become human”.
Through the power of the Holy Grail, he did not “incarnated as a heroic spirit”, but instead was reborn as a new human that had no relation to King Solomon.
Such was Romani Archman.
A quite ordinary young man, who wished to live as an “individual” that did not have anything of peculiar.
...however.
The man who began his second life was unable to know the “happiness, fulfillment as a human” that was never given to him in his previous lifetime.
Because the future of “mankind’s demise”, which he caught a glimpse of right before becoming human, stole any kind of freedom from him.
Level 3 Bond
[CLASS SKILLS]
- Territory Creation: A
Creates an advantageous encampment to oneself as a magus.
Having built the Temple of Israel, he is regarded as a greatest authority in regards to Territory Creation.
- High-Speed Aria: C
A technique to hasten magic aria. Despite being fast, sometimes he makes a mistake due his worrywart nature and ruins everything.
- Item Construction: C
Produces devices that carry magical power. Maybe because he has specialized in contracts, his Item Construction ability is of average level.
Level 4 Bond
Introverted, self-assured and passive.
A laid-back king, without a hint of seriousness.
The gist of his personality is “self-assured”, but this is simply the power to “no read the mood”.
Thus, he is merely making statements on a self-assured manner, and his nature is that of a chicken. Although serious, he is not earnest and is constantly living at 80% power.
He properly ascertained people, properly established laws and properly governed the country. Despite lacking in vigor, he was loved and respected by the masses as a wise, gentle king who was full of love.
...yet, none of those traits came from Solomon’s own will.
Having been ordained as a king from the moment he was born, Solomon had no choice but to hear the voice of God and act accordingly.
His psyche is dispassionate and (having been deprived of the freedom to sympathize with the joys and sorrows of people) inhuman.
Level 5 Bond
After becoming human, Solomon finally acquired the human nature called romance.
At his roots, he is a realist and a pessimist.
Despite uttering wishful thinkings as a mood-maker, he seems somewhat shameless due to inwardly thinking of them as pipe dreams.
While he likes humans, because of his chicken side that “does not want to see something sad”, he maintains a superficial socializing with anyone. In exchange, he can get along with anyone.
An archetypal “everybody’s friend(1)”.
He has a bad habit of, when caught in a dilemma, ending up choosing to either “stick to observing without making any decisions” or “running away” so that “the status quo is preserved”.
Since Roman himself is reflecting on such weakness of his, if someone in his surroundings were to just say a word - “Please, do your best” - he will somehow get a hold of himself and show a decisive judgment fitting of the king of magecraft.
Incidentally, because the first impression that any Servant ends up getting about Roman is “I don’t get the reason, but he is at fault here”, they unconsciously complained at him.
The only ones who did not find fault at him were those who were no Servants, crackpots and Berserkers that do not perceive evil as evil.
Interlude
"The Time of Parting Has Come, He Is the One Who Lets Go of the World"
Rank: D Type: Anti-Unit
Are Nova.
The first Noble Phantasm of King Solomon.
Rather than Goetia, this is a Noble Phantasm possessed by the true King Solomon.
A poem of farewell in which he relinquishes of all the exploits accomplished, all the miracles performed, all the magecrafts established until then.
Upon invoking his Noble Phantasm, Solomon sends all the graces bestowed by God back to heavens and loses the eyes that gaze at the world.
The result is King Solomon’s death.
From another angle, this also means the self-destruction of the 72 demons.
It can also be described as a safety device prepared by Solomon, in order to destroy “magecraft” when it becomes an evil for humans in the distant future.
When this is employed as a Noble Phantasm, all traces of King Solomon are extinguished from this world.
---even from the Throne of Heroes.

ソロモンはエジプトのファラオの娘を娶ったが、その後、夢枕に神が現れ「汝に資格あり。望みを口にせよ。願うものを与えよう」と告げたという。
ソロモンは黄金や権力より、なにより知恵を求めた。神はこれに満足する。その答えこそ「真の叡智」に至る資格を持つ事の証だったからだ。
ソロモンが目を覚ますと、その両手には十の指輪がはめられていた。これこそ神に認められた知恵者の証。後にソロモンの指輪と呼ばれる、天使や悪魔を使役する魔術の源泉だった。

カルデアの英霊召喚、その成功例第一号。
マリスビリー・アニムスフィアによって秘密裏に召喚され、冬木の聖杯戦争に参加し、これに勝利を収めた冠位 の魔術師。
聖杯にかけた願いは『人間になる』というもの。
彼は聖杯の力で『英霊として受肉する』のではなく、英霊としての力を全て捨て、ソロモン王とは関係のない新しい人間として生まれ変わった。
それがロマニ・アーキマン。
何の変哲もない『一個人』として生きようと願った、ごく普通の青年である。
……だが。
第二の生を始めた男は、生前には与えられなかった『人としての幸福、充実』を知る事はできなかった。
人間になる際に垣間見た『人類終了』の未来が、彼からあらゆる自由を奪ったからだ。

内向的、強気、受動的。
緊張感のない、ゆるふわっとした王さま。
性格骨子は『強気』だが、これはたんに『空気が読めない』力。
結果的に強気な発言をしているだけで、根はチキンである。真面目ではあるが真剣ではなく、いつも八割の力で 生きている。
よく人々を見定め、よく法を定め、よく国を治めた。やや気概が足りないところはあるものの、賢く、優しく、 愛の多い王として民に敬愛された。
……しかし、これらの特徴はすべてソロモン本人の意思ではない。
ソロモンは生まれた時から「王」として定められ、神の声を聞き、その通りに生きるしかなかった。
彼の内面は無感動であり、また、人々の悲喜交々に共感する自由を剥奪されていた、非人間である。

人間になってからようやく、ソロモンはロマンという人間性を獲得した。
根本はリアリストで悲観主義。
ムードメーカーとして希望的観測を口にするものの、根本ではそれが絵空事だと思っている為、どこか白々しい。
人間好きではあるが『悲しい事は見たくない』というチキンなので、誰とも表面的な付き合いに留めてしまう。 そのかわりに誰とも仲良くなれる。
典型的な八方美人。
窮地に陥ると『現状を維持するため』に『何も決断せず観察に徹する』あるいは『撤退』を選んでしまう悪癖がある。
ロマン自身そんな自分の弱さを反省している為、ただ一言、周りにいる誰かに“頑張ってください”と言われればなんとか踏みとどまり、魔術の王に相応しい英断を見せる。
ちなみに、サーヴァントであれば誰もが第一印象でロマンを『理由は分からないがコイツが悪い』と感じてしま う為、無意識に文句を言ってしまっていた。
ダメ出しをしなかったのはサーヴァントでないもの、ひねくれ者、悪を悪と感じないバーサーカーといった面子である。

ひるがえって七十二柱の魔神の自壊である。
遠い未来において「魔術」が人間にとっての悪になった時、これを滅ぼすためにソロモンが用意した安全装置とも言える。
これを宝具として使用した時、ソロモン王の痕跡はこの世界から消滅する。
