<p>Immediately after the airing of episode 11 of <em>Fate/Zero</em>, someone, possibly from 2chan, posted this fan-annotated image that names these important-looking people:</p>
<p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/1rAY1.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/1rAY1.jpg" alt="Fan-annotated image of notable people in Alexander's army" /></a></p>

<p>It's actually quite an educated guess: Eumenes was known for his loyalty to his master and his role as the private secretary of Alexander;
Parmenion was an experienced general who killed to ensure Alexander's succession to the throne was a smooth one, and being Alexander's second in command and also 40-50 years older than him puts Parmenion as a likely candidate to the identity of the old man in turban;
Hephaestion's and Ptolemy's names are on there probably just because they are more well-known.</p>

<p>But &quot;<a href="https://typemoon.fandom.com/wiki/Iskandar%27s_Shadow" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Hephaestion</a>&quot; does actually make an appearance in <em>Lord El-Melloi II Case Files</em>, and she has this to say about <a href="https://typemoon.fandom.com/wiki/Waver_Velvet" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Lord El-Melloi II</a>:</p>

<p>Also, in <em>Fate/Grand Order</em>, if you have both Zhuge Liang (Lord El-Melloi II) and Iskander as your Servants, then talking to a Bond Lvl 5 Iskander in My Room will trigger <a href="https://fategrandorder.fandom.com/wiki/Sub:Iskandar/Dialogue" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Dialogue 4</a>:</p>

<p>These details seem to corroborate the likeness of Eumenes to an adult Waver, and we have <a href="https://anime.stackexchange.com/q/22832/8486">one such person in Ionioi Hetairoi</a>!</p>

Now it makes sense why there is a sphinx in the design of the helmet, at least in the <em>Fate/Zero</em> anime, due to Ptolemy's connections to Egypt where his empire is based.
Bear in mind that there were a number of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Generals_of_Alexander_the_Great" rel="nofollow noreferrer">officers</a> named Ptolemy who served Alexander the Great, but there is little doubt that this is Ptolemy I Soter we're talking about, as linked earlier.</p>

<h2>My Speculations</h2>
<p>I offer my speculations regarding the identities of the 7+1 warriors and use the 7+1 Servant classes as placeholders to indicate the one being named.</p>
<ul>
<li>Saber: Hephaestion.
He was rumored to be Alexander's lover, being taller, more handsome and more king-like than him, such that Darius III's mother mistook Hephaestion for the King of Conquerors.
&quot;This man too is Alexander.&quot;
His weapon of choice is the same as Iskander;
his flaunting the bare upper body is the same as the version of the King of Heroes in the <em>Fate/Grand Order: Absolute Demonic Front - Babylonia</em> anime;
heck, he was even buried in Babylonia!
After the death of Cleitus the Black, he became the sole commander of the Companion cavalry, a prominent leading position befitting of the screenshots above.
He has a striking resemblance to the silhouette of <a href="https://typemoon.fandom.com/wiki/Hephaestion" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Hephaestion</a> as drawn in chapter 45 of the <em>Lord El-Melloi II's Case Files</em> manga.</li>
<li>Lancer: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coenus_(general)" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Coenus</a>.
He commanded the right-most battalion of infantry, which in the Macedonian battle tradition, was the best of the phalanx, indicating that he was one of the ablest generals of Alexander the Great.
He was also the first among the commanders who had the boldness to urge his master to end the eastern conquest and return home, but would die of illness at the commencement of the return journey.</li>
<li>Archer: Eumenes.
Confirmed by official sources (except for the Servant class).</li>
<li>Rider: Ptolemy.
Confirmed by official sources (except for the Servant class).</li>
<li>Caster: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porus" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Porus</a>.
<a href="https://anime.stackexchange.com/a/49399/8486">Yngvi</a> made a good point that the old man in turban could be Poros, or Porus the Elder.
Other than the obvious Indian appearance, Porus must have been a lot older than Alexander because he has had two sons that died in the Battle of the Hydaspes.</li>
<li>Assassin: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleitus_the_Black" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Cleitus the Black</a>.
The epithet 'the Black' was used to distinguish him from Cleitus the White, probably because he had a darker hair or skin color.
He severed the arm of an enemy general who went after Alexander's life, thus saving him, and was later promoted to be one of the two commanders of the Companion cavalry, the other being Hephaestion.
Cleitus was assassinated by Alexander under the effects of alcohol, three years before Alexander and his army would embark on a journey to cross the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gedrosia" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Gedrosian desert</a>.</li>
<li>Berserker: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mithrenes" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Mithrenes</a>.
He was a Persian commander who surrendered to Alexander after the battle of the Granicus.
He fought for Alexander at Gaugamela against an army that included his father, Orontes II.
After his appointment to Satrap of Armenia, he disappeared from the historical record and his ultimate fate unknown.</li>
<li>Avenger (the bulky baldy): <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysimachus" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Lysimachus</a>.
He once overcame a lion with his bare hands and earned Alexander's respect.
For reasons unknown, he murdered his eldest son, which caused revolts in many of his cities and the desertion of his friends.</li>

<p>I would argue that the old man with a turban is actually the Indian king Poros, not Parmenion. For three reasons:</p>
<ol>
<li>The obvious Indian appearance of the character</li>
<li>Parmenion was executed by Alexander, because his son Philotas plotted against him.</li>
<li>Poros was also an old man, and swore loyalty to Alexander after the battle of the Hydaspes. He served him and remained loyal to him until Alexander's death in 323.</li>
</ol>
<p>At the battle of the Hydaspes, Alexander was impressed by Poros' courage and determination (he fought personally in the battle despite his old age), so he spared him and his kingdom, and took him as a subject. His presence in Ionioi Hetairoi would be logical.</p>
<p>As for the others, Eumenes is indeed an educated guess for the Waver lookalike, but it's basically impossible to determine the identity of the others.</p>

The first one is very likely supposed to be Waver himself. That's pretty much exactly how Waver looks as an adult.

## The Seven Warriors

[Ionioi Hetairoi](https://typemoon.fandom.com/wiki/Ionioi_Hetairoi) means "The [Companions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Companion_cavalry) of Ionia", so I would expect some, if not all, of these important-looking soldiers to be Alexander's [bodyguards](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somatophylakes), which

> consisted of seven men, drawn from the Macedonian nobility, who also acted as high-ranking military officers, holding command positions such as general or chiliarch.

In fact, included in *[Fate/complete material IV](https://typemoon.fandom.com/wiki/Fate/complete_material_IV)* is this illustration, debuted in *[Sound Drama Fate/Zero Vol.2 The Mad Feast of Kings](https://typemoon.fandom.com/wiki/Sound_Drama_Fate/Zero#Volume_2)*, of Iskander and, around him, seven men with distinctive designs and complexions:

[![Ionioi Hetairoi, as depicted on page 291 of Fate/complete material IV](https://i.sstatic.net/wYDLn.jpg)](https://i.sstatic.net/wYDLn.jpg)

The left-most character appears to be [Mithrenes](https://typemoon.fandom.com/wiki/Mithrenes), or someone who wears the same gears as him, who is not a *somatophylax*, so the *somatophylakes* might just be an inspiration to, rather than a one-to-one correspondence of, the seven distinguished servants of Alexander.
Speaking of servants, doesn't it look like they are of the Berserker, Assassin, Lancer, Saber, Archer, Rider and Caster classes, respectively, from left to right?

## The Eighth Warrior?

A bulky baldy can be seen in both the first ED and episode 23 of *Fate/Zero*.
I include him here for completeness and also because the *somatophylakes* later expanded to include an eighth individual.
