Gus Amon

"To fall to a single strike... pathetic. You're not strong at all." -Gus final words to Tarquin Thompson
Gus Amon is a minor character in Inceluous: Hidden Fortune of Code Syphilis. Hailing from another universe, Gus is an immensely powerful individual, his power level unmatched by any other character in the Inceluousverse. He plays a minor role in the Enigma Hunt sidequest, and also serves as the game's ultimate superboss.
Very little is known about Gus, except for his appearance and unimaginable power. He kills Tarquin Thompson in a single blow, and is only shown to be somewhat challenged in combat with the combined forces of Cokity, Wilhelm, Holloway, and Harrison.
== Personality ==
Gus is a mysterious figure, who seems to enjoy revelling in the mystique of his personage. He is obsessed with power and battling strong opponents, seeking those who can give him a challenge. He is often quiet, only caring to speak with those whose strength he respects, but has trouble connecting with others.
== Background ==
In his own universe, Gus' version of earth was ravished by strange dimensional creatures, similar to Enigma. He fought against them, but eventually became frustrated with his weakness. As a result of this, Gus sought ever greater opponents to increase his power. Soon, Gus became so powerful that all opponents were much too easy for him. Using power he gathered from alien relics and enigmas, Gus searched the universe for its most powerful warriors, but only succeeded in defeating them with little difficulty. Realising his destructive path had caused suffering to those of his universe, he banished himself through a rift, ending up in another universe.
This time, Gus was sure not to cause destruction during his fights, seeking only those that he knew could withstand his power. Through this, he became even more powerful, but even more unsatisfied with the inability of his opponents to give him a challenge, even when they fought at their hardest. 
Gus continued to travel through the multiverse, seeking more of the strongest warriors only to find that he could easily defeat them. Over thousands of years, Gus began to lose his humanity and his hope, unable to connect with others, and knowing that those he once cared about in his own universe had long since passed. Still, he fought on, until by pure coincidence, a rift sent him back in time to fight a younger version of himself. The younger Gus, along with his comrades, were at last able to give Gus some difficulty in defeating them, but only because they could withstand his attacks. Giving a warning to his younger self not to become obsessed with power, Gus left having unlocked the ability to travel through both space and time. Gus ruled that the most difficult challenge would be to battle himself.
Eventually, his universe-hopping landed him in the Inceluousverse, during Wilhelm Voigt and Cokity McInjury's final battle with Tarquin Thompson, who piloted the ultimate mech: The Doomsday Prototype. Gus made his presence known, asking if Tarquin was strong. The young man replied that he was, but with a single blow, the Doomsday Prototype was destroyed. Recognising him as an enigma, Gus was brought into the custody of the Enigma Research Institute. After Gus made it clear that his intentions were only to seek the strongest of warriors, Cokity challenged him to battle. 
Eventually, Cokity, along with Wilhelm, Holloway, and Harrison, met with Gus in a dimensional rift, and the two did battle. Although they were no match for Gus, he respected the group's strength, leaving them a pair of his sunglasses before vanishing to another universe.
