** In ''Literature/FateStrangeFake'', he is summoned as the Servant False Caster. He is portrayed as an obnoxious hedonist who only cares about women and food, but he is a lot smarter than he looks and quickly masters using the Internet to gather information. In life, he helped smuggle weapons to Giuseppe Garibaldi and had a museum of ancient artifacts, which translates to an ability to create Noble Phantasms that are just as strong or stronger than the originals. Also, in this universe, Edmond Dantes was a real person (and eventually became an Avenger in ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'') whose experiences Dumas recorded in interviews to create ''The Count of Monte Cristo''. Dumas did not give Dantes any royalties for the book, causing Dumas to comment that Dantes would probably try to kill him if he were around.
