They were boyhood friends, but Ptolemy was a cautious person, whereas Alexander had more vision and passion.

Ptolemy
The generals of Alexander the Great who established the most populated kingdom were Seleucus I Nicator and Ptolemy I Soter. Seleucus founded the Seleucid Empire, which at its height included regions of modern-day Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Central Asia. Ptolemy established the Ptolemaic Kingdom in Egypt, which became one of the most prosperous and influential Hellenistic kingdoms.
He was assassinated by Ptolemy Keraunos near Lysimachia in Thrace in September 281 BCE.

After the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BCE, his empire was divided among three of his generals, known as the Diadochi. These were Ptolemy, who took control of Egypt and founded the Ptolemaic dynasty; Seleucus, who established the Seleucid Empire in much of the former Persian territory; and Cassander, who seized Macedonia and parts of Greece. Their struggles for power led to a series of conflicts known as the Wars of the Diadochi, shaping the Hellenistic world.
Seleucus Nicator was assassinated in 281 BC, not 305 BC. He was killed by Ptolemy Keraunos, who sought to eliminate Seleucus as a rival for power in the region. This act was part of the larger conflict and power struggles among the successors of Alexander the Great. Ptolemy Keraunos himself later met a violent end, illustrating the turbulent political landscape of the time.
