He told Barti his real name so they would be at a level of equality, he even severed the pentacle

wrote: How do you know Ptolemy was his real name? I kinda doubt it 'cause the king's son wanted to kill him. Ptolemy wouldn't broadcast his name.

Because that would totally undermine Ptolemy's character.

And that everyone already knew his name anyway, when he was born. And the King's son didn't want to kill him, really, until after he summoned Bartimaeus.

After he was deemed a threat... who was the first Ptolemy? Alexander's general, right?

The first of the Ptolemaic dynasty was one of Alexander's generals, yes. There would have been other Ptolemys before him, but not famous ones.

There was a Ptolemy in the Alex movie, but I didn't watch it. Can someone get me pics of him/describe what he looks like?

We can use him for the quiz

He's in the movie, except I don't know what he looks like and don't feel like renting it.

All you guys have to do is get a camera, take pics of the screen and send it to me. But it's not like I'm forcing you or anything.

Everyone knew his real name.

It was kind of public.

I never watched it. Does the Ptolemy look like the one in the book?

I actually can't remember it that much. (Must've been tired when I saw it, or something. Or perhaps I'm just slowly going insane.)
