Gilgamesh (Final Fantasy XV)

==Summary==
Gilgamesh, contrarily known as the Blademaster, is an antagonist and the final boss of Final Fantasy XV: Episode Gladiolus. Gilgamesh is the Shield of the Founder King from over 2,000 years ago and is the one who judges those as worthy or unworthy of defending the True King.

*Copy Blade: Using his powers, Gilgamesh is capable of making a copy of the Genji Blade to show his ability of Dual Wielding.
Intelligence: Gilgamesh has been alive for over 2,000 years, and is heavily implied to have been fighting for a large majority of that time. It is also notable that Gilgamesh is a Shield of the King, which is a role and title that requires an incredible skill. Furthermore, Gilgamesh is able to perform many attacks and techniques with his blades and shows his prowess with being capable of defeating Cor Leonis after his arm had been cut off
Weaknesses: Not many have been shown, but he has been defeated and knocked down by those with skills similar to his. He may not be the best fighter against flying opponents and was never shown
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Glaive Arts: Gilgamesh is capable of using and mastering Glaive Arts; swordsmanship techniques said to have been passed down through the generations.
**Dual Master: Gilgamesh is able to effectively use multiple blades at once. This technique unleashes a long series of fierce sword swings that home in on nearby targets and finishes with a devastating blow that can stagger most foes.
*Red Energy: Gilgamesh is able to surround himself and his weapons with red energy, boosting his strength greatly. This also acts as a minor forcefield.
*"Ghost" Construction: Gilgamesh can create and materialize ghostly duplicates of things, such as his arm or a blade.
*Control of the Dead: Gilgamesh's mere presence resurrects the dead, and he has full control over them afterward. This is due to the power of his soul attracting the fallen souls of the past.
*Phasing: Gilgamesh is able to phase through attacks, people, and objects. This is capable of negating durability and being used as an evasion technique. He leaves behind red holograms when phasing.
*Warping: Gilgamesh, along with the ability to phase, can warp short distances in combat. This is used to close distances, dodge attacks, and often used alongside his phasing ability.
*Sealing: Gilgamesh has the ability to seal things, even souls, inside objects, people, places, or even ideas in general.
*Fading: Gilgamesh can fade away like a ghost, making him invisible and untouchable, even to those who can interact with the Non-Physical.
