Why is it masculine?
Fato is masculine because it derives from Latin "factum" (neuter nominative), which became masculine in Portuguese following the general sound evolution where Latin neuter nouns ending in "-um" shifted to masculine "-o" endings in Romance languages. This shift occurred because the neuter gender gradually collapsed into the masculine during the transition from Latin to Portuguese.
