Gilgamesh Fate/Stay Night

“
 *To unite dreams beneath a banner of conquest. I praise your*
 efforts. But, warriors... did you not understand? That all dreams must
disappear when the dreamer wakes. Every last one of them. Therefore, it
was inevitable that I would stand in your way. King of Conquerors, know the end of your eternal dream. I, myself, shall show you harsh reality.
 „

 ~ Gilgamesh to Iskandar

## Gilgamesh

###  Travel Speed

B4 (Piloted the Vimana, which easily outpaced a fighter jet elevated to the level of a Noble Phantasm by Lancelot's Knight of Honor.)

### Reaction Speed

High B4 (Fought against True Archer, whose arrows can bypass the lightning bolts fired by his Auto-Defensors in Fate/strange fake)

### Combat Speed

High B4 (Kept up with Saber, Lancer, and Berserker.

At least F2 (Could parry a few blows from Saber and Shirou when he was using Noble Phantasms projected with Unlimited Blade Works), up to at least F1 with the Gate of Babylon (His highest-ranked treasures can easily kill Berserker), F1 high level with Merodach (Easily overpowered and shattered Caliburn, which killed Berserker seven times over and can showcase light on the level of Excalibur, albeit weaker). At least F1 level with Enuma Elish (Destroyed Rider's Reality Marble and easily overpowered Excalibur), D3 High with full power Enuma Elish (Ea is an Anti-World Noble Phantasm, capable of destroying Gaia's Reality Marble and likely overpowering Akhilleus Kosmos, which embodies the World. When used in Fate/strange fake, it would have destroyed the World without Enkidu's intervention). Enuma Elish also ignores conventional durability (It shows the "Truth" of creation, functioning on the same principle as Slash Emperor, which can kill Ultimate Ones, the strongest beings of each planet in the Solar System)

### Power and Abilities

Gate of Babylon: King's Treasure: Gilgamesh's great treasury. It is a storehouse that contains the countless treasures of the world collected by Gilgamesh, and by using Key of the King's Law, Bab-ilu,he can open an invisible door to its contents to summon them whenever he pleases. It contains countless Noble Phantasm, including their prototypes, and he generally fires them from the vault as projectiles, though he can also summon them directly into his hand. This is why he issummoned into the Archer-class. It has an incredibly efficient cost, needed only to open the gates to begin with. He can prepare and produce hundreds or even thousands of Noble Phantasm at once if he wishes, and can return them to the vault whenever he pleases, even mid-flight.

The Gate of Babylon contains all the treasures in the world, with only Divine Constructs escaping his possession. This is no hyperbole; it contains the bases for all things constructed by humans throughout human history, from the works of the Library of Alexandria, to board games, to airplanes and submarines. The only technology he lacks are things that would be created by humans with entirely new concepts, and the technology of extraterrestrial races. As the original hero, all Noble Phantasms are descended from their prototypes in his collection. If a Servant would appear with a Noble Phantasm that he doesnot own or have an equivalent of without proper reason (such as it being a Divine Construct), he would gain it retroactively. In terms of Noble Phantasms, only attributes and techniques such as God Hand and Divine Constructs such as Excalibur or Vasavi Shakti elude him.

Notable items within the Gate of Babylon include:

Anti-Spirit Incense: An ash-like powder that attracts walking corpses like those summoned by Angra Mainyu.

Auto-Defensors: A series of golden discs that float around Gilgamesh and can defend an area as large as a single floor building, they defend Gilgamesh from virtually any projectile by shooting them down with innumerable lightning bolts as they approach. It provides sufficient protection against even a storm of surprise attacksfrom Enkidu. However, a sufficiently fast projectile, such as True Archer's arrows, would be able to bypass them completely.

Caladbolg:The prized spiral sword wielded by Fergus mac Róich, it is able to generate powerful beams of iridescent light that can cleanly slice through hills and devastate a fortress if planted in the ground.

Curtain of Night: A magical item mentioned in passing as a means of counteracting Gawain's Numeral of the Saint, possibly by blotting out the sun.

Dáinsleif: A demonic sword from the Nibelungen. It is acursed Noble Phantasm that contains a powerful curse of "reparation" tobe used on its target, and it also drives the fate of its possessor to ruin and causes them to surely die. Within the Skáldskaparmál, it is possessed by the Danish king, Hogni. He became locked in eternal combat with the king of Serkland, Hedinn, due to the sword's curse, which requires it to always kill a man once drawn and does not allow it to return to its sheath until such is accomplished.

Durandal: The Peerless Sword: Originally the sword of Hector,he converted it into the spear Durindana, and after it later lost its features as a spear, it became Durandal. It was then later said to have been granted to King Charlemagne of the Frankish Empire by an angel and awarded to Roland. It is noted as the symbol of the Battle of Roncevaux Pass told of in the Song of Roland. Although Roland attempted to break the sword when he was on the verge of death to keep it from falling intothe hands of the enemy, it proved to be impossible, but it was later prominently featured in Charlemagne's legends, acting as a symbol of Roland's bravery. The sword is a splendidly forged "symbol of power" much like King Arthur's Caliburn, and it is said to hold three miracles within it. It will not lose its sharpness even should its user's magicalenergy be depleted, proving indestructible even when Roland tried to destroy it.

Gáe Bolg: The spear of Cú Chulainn,a massive two-meter long weapon with the ability to always strike the opponent's heart. However, Gilgamesh lacks the knowledge required to activate this ability, but can still fire it as a powerful projectile that inflicts wounds that cannot be healed with natural regeneration.

Golden Axe: A weapon seen in Fate/Extra CCC, it is one of the few weapons Gilgamesh wields personally, cleaving targets along with the space around them.

Golden Drill: Another weapon seen in Fate/Extra CCC andone that Gilgamesh wields personally, penetrating and tearing apart targets with its drilling motions along with cannon and machine gun fire.

Gram: The "Sword of the Sun" wielded by Sigurd in the Völsunga saga of Norse mythology. It is said to be the "strongest demonic sword" that equals the "strongest holy sword",so it possesses the special characteristic of "dragon slayer". The weapon is said to appear in the Der Ring des Nibelungen under the name change of Balmung.

Houtengeki: A halberd passed down in Chinese culture and the only type of halberd out of many to attain the rank of Noble Phantasm, probably due to the use of Houtengageki by a famous military commander. It is a polearm with many different uses such as thrusting, swiping, pulling, parrying, and various others. Chinese halberds have a spearhead at the tip of the shaft and a blade attached to the side, and the distinguishing characteristic of a Houtengeki is a unique crescent-moon shaped side blade, the “Moon Fang.” Weapons with only one of these blades are called Seiryugeki. It is said that a great deal of skill is needed to handle this weapon, though its versatility and ease of use once mastering it allowed for it to be used to serve theappropriate role for any type of combatant

Immortal Slaying Scythe, Harpe: The Snake Hunter's Scythe, a divine sword from Greek mythology used by Perseus to kill the Gorgon Medusaand one of the many weapons inside Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon. It is described as a monster-killing holy sword with a special shape similar to a scythe, having the cutting edge on the inside of the blade, though it isn't actually an outstanding sword by itself. Its true strength is its trait of Refraction of Longevity, which is a divine ability that nullifies the "undying attribute" of immortals and inflicts wounds that cannot be restored by any methods other than healing in accordance to the natural laws.

Merodach: The Original Sin: The prototype of both Gram and Caliburn,and due to its greater mystery it outstrips them in every aspect. It isnamed after Marduk, the patron god of Babylon. Its strength as a Noble Phantasm is incomparable, easily shattering Caliburn without it being able to put up any resistance. It utilizes the same power as Caliburn, a"light that can burn away everything it touches", that could kill Berserker with one slash.

Mountain-Piercing Spears: A series of unnamed spears that can easily pierce mountains.

Rho Aias: The Seven Rings that Cover the Fiery Heavens: The shield used by Aias the Great to stop Durindana, the spear of the Trojan hero Hector,tearing through six of its seven layers of cowhide but stopping at the final layer. As a result, it has been sublimed as a virtually absolute

Conceptual Defense against thrown and launched weaponry.Ship of Light: A vehicle that allows Gilgamesh to travel faster than the speed of light. It allows him to instantly returnafter he is sent to the edge of the Moon Cell's Imaginary Space hundreds of light-years away.Vajra: A weapon appearing in the Vedic mythology of ancient India. It was a weapon crafted by Tvastar, the maker of divine instruments, using the bones of the sage, Dadhichi. It became symbol of divinity of Indra, the god of lightning, and the indestructible diamond pounder (金剛杵, kongōsho) weapon carried by the gods of Buddhism. It was held in one interpretation to be a manifestation of Indra’s lightning, which is supported by its deceptions as a golden projectile and its appearance unbefitting of a conventional weapon. Vajra was initially known by its proper name of Vjaya when Indra was first introduced to India as a phenomenon that spread from the Aryans. Along with Indra, whose name changed to Taishakuten, his divine symbol also had its name changed and became known as Vajra after the age of Buddhismas India's main religion began. It is a simple weapon that can only be shot only once for a fixed B+ rank damage separate from the user's magical energy supply.

Unnamed Anti-Magic Sickle: An enormous sickle that can cut through weapons enhanced by Lancelot's Knight of Honor as easily as Gáe Daerg.

Unnamed Dimensional Refraction Artifact: An artifact that defends against attacks that use the Multi-Dimensional Refraction Phenomenon, allowing Gilgamesh to block attacks that come from parallel universes such as Sasaki Kojirou's Tsubame Gaeshi.

Unnamed Draining Scythe: A scythe that does not deal physical damage, passing through the target's armor and body and draining away their magical energy.

Unnamed Dragon-Slaying Longsword: Gilgamesh also possesses a longsword that slayed an oriental dragon in the past.

Unnamed Freezing Sword: Gilgamesh possesses a sword that would freeze any target struck as well as the area around them, covering the target in ice even if they managed to dodge the initial strike for as long as they're within relative proximity of the blade.

Unnamed Invisibility Ring: A ring that wards off the attention of normal people, preventing them from noticing him. It doesn't work on magi or other magical beings.

Unnamed Invisible Sword: A sword that is described as "invisible like Saber's" that Gilgamesh fires as a projectile.

Unnamed Lens: A golden ring with a single, warped lens that allowed Gilgamesh to view True Archer from twenty kilometers away.

Unnamed Levitation Treasure: An unnamed treasure that allows Gilgamesh to levitate in mid-air.

Unnamed Lightning Noble Phantasm: Gilgamesh is able to launch "lightning without form" as a projectile without the use of his Vajra Noble Phantasm.

Unnamed Magical Staves: Various magical rods and stavesthat can use magecraft from the Age of Gods. Those seen have generated pillars of flame, concentrated lightning storms, and light beams that home in on their targets.

Unnamed Mirror Shield: A shield that effortlessly repels powerful magecraft.

Unnamed Spellbook: An unnamed tome that allows Gilgamesh to utilize powerful Primeval Runes from the Age of Gods.

Unnamed Triple-Edged Sword: A sword with three edges that can arc behind an opponent to attack their back if left unguarded.Various Unnamed Homing Weapons: Gilgamesh possesses multiple weapons, such as scythes, scimitars, and axes that are able to constantly follow their chosen target even if they dodge in a vehicle asmaneuverable as a modern fighter jet empowered by Lancelot's Knight of Honor.

Vimana: Throne of the Heaven-soaring King: A flying contraption passed from Babylon and India that appeared within the Ramayana and Mahabharata,and one of the many Noble Phantasms within the Gate of Babylon. It far surpasses any jet from the modern era, fueled by crystals that burn mercury as fuel. Even when Gilgamesh was just fooling around, he easily outpaced Lancelotin a fighter jet elevated to a Noble Phantasm by Knight of Honor. He uses the Gate of Babylon freely while piloting Vimana, firing projectiles, and it is also apparently equipped with ancient machine guns. It has many other functions that he did not use, including stealthfunctions, communication interception technology, laser cannons, and biological weapons, among others.

Enkidu: Chains of Heaven: Gilgamesh's most trusted Noble Phantasm, even more so than Ea. It is a set of chains named after his closest friend,and made to bind even the gods themselves. It is one of the few Anti-Divine Noble Phantasms, growing stronger when used against those with divine blood, such as Heracles,becoming more effective the higher their rank of Divinity. Against a non-divine Servant, it is nothing but a strong chain. Those that are caught in it cannot escape even through the use of a Command Seal, though Berserker, in his last moments, in a desperate show of his own strength, is able to shatter the chain and escape. Gilgamesh can summon Enkidu from anywhere he can reach with the Gate of Babylon, and draws out its full length when serious to use it in conjunction with Ea.

Sword of Rupture, Ea:The ultimate Noble Phantasm of the Gate of Babylon and Gilgamesh's mostpowerful weapon. Unlike the countless other Noble Phantasm within his treasury, which were passed onto countless wielders after his death and took on many forms, it is a sword only he possesses. It is a Divine Construct that predates the concept of a sword, bearing a truly unusual design, a cylindrical "blade" with a dull tip and independently rotatingsegments. It signifies the universe, in all its parts. As his most powerful treasure, Gilgamesh is reluctant to use it against "lowlifes", willingly drawing it only to face those he believes are worthy, such as Alexander the Great and King Arthur.

Enuma Elish: The Star of Creation that Split Heaven and Earth:Ea's function as a Noble Phantasm, its maximum output as an EX-ranked Anti-World Noble Phantasm. The separate sections of Ea rotate faster andfaster, working to create a dislocation in space-time that destroys everything in Gilgamesh's sight at once, ripping open the World to reveal the "Truth". It is similar in this way to Slash Emperor, a Knight Arm capable of destroying Type Jupiterin a single blow. As an Anti-World Noble Phantasm, it is well-suited tothe destruction of Reality Marbles, in a manner that Gilgamesh describes as revealing the reality behind a dream, and when used in Fate/strange fake, it began to destroy the planet itself. When used in Fate/Extra CCC,he plants it in the ground, allowing it to charge, spinning rapidly anddestroying the ground around him. It creates a great space-time dislocation, which Gilgamesh crushes his opponent with. However, most of the time, Gilgamesh does not use its full power, as it is hardly necessary; even a casual Enuma Elish easily overpowered Excalibur and gravely wounded Saber, rendering her helpless.

Sha Nagba Imuru (He who Saw the Deep): The Omniscient Omnipotent Star: Gilgamesh's mentality and intelligence, sublimated into a Noble Phantasm. It is continuously active and does not need its true name revealed to use it, though Gilgamesh keeps it restricted most of the time. It grants him high-level Clairvoyance, allowing him to discern great truths with a glance, identifying Servants and their Noble Phantasm with ease. It does not just show him advanced predictions and possibilities, but allows him to look down over all the possibilities and discern the correct move to make. Even when he uses this ability to its fullest extent, his arrogance leads him to reject certain world lines as impossible, including one in which he was consumed by the mud of the Grail and broken down into magical energy.

Class Skills

Independent Action: The ability to remain independent even without the magical energy supplied by his Master. Acting in autonomy from the Master's Magical Energy supply, the Master can concentrate their own Magical Energy on large spells, and the Servant will be fine even in the case they can not supply Magical Energy due to injury. Undernormal circumstances, Gilgamesh's rank of A allows him to act without aMaster except when it comes to the use of high-cost Noble Phantasm. After he was incarnated by the mud of the Grail, he needs no Master to act and use high-cost abilities. Through this, he remained materialized even after the Fourth Holy Grail War ended.

Magic Resistance: A skill that grants protection against magical effects. Differently from the Resistance effect that merely rejects Magical Energy, this ability cancels the spells altogether. Gilgamesh's proficiency in this skill ranges from E to C-Rank depending on who summoned him, with E-Rank merely reducing the amount of damage hetakes from magical attacks and C-Rank nullifying spells below two verses. It is, however, further enhanced by his armor, raising it above the magic resistance of even King Arthur,who can negate magecraft from the Age of Gods. He has many other possessions that would also allow him to negate magecraft. This ability also provides resistance against indirect magical attacks such as Petrification, Hypnosis, and Spatial Manipulation.

Personal Skills Charisma: The natural talent to command an army. Increases theability of allies during group battles. In Gilgamesh's case it is no longer popularity, but rather a kind of curse in itself due to his A+ Rank proficiency, causing normal humans to prostrate themselves at his feet in his mere presence. It can also be used as a form of subtle Mind Manipulation, getting people to do what he wants without much resistance.

Collector: A "talent" in collecting high quality goods, a sort of supernatural luck that draws rare items into Gilgamesh's hands. Gilgamesh is one who has collected all the Earth's treasures, grasping the very essence of human ingenuity itself.

Divinity: The measure of whether one has Divine Spirit aptitude or not. At high levels one is treated as a mixed race of a Divine Spirit, and the level declines when the Heroic Spirit's own rank as a Monster, Demonic Beast raises. It can also decrease due one's dislike for the gods. It also has an effect which reduces special defensive values called "purge defense" in proportion to the Divinity's Rank, allowing him to bypass effects such as Saver's Enlightenment of the Sacred Fig and Achilles'Andreas Amarantos. Gilgamesh would normally have an A+ Rank in this skill due to being two-thirds divine, but his effective rank has droppedto B due to his distaste for the gods.

Golden Rule: Throughout history and mythology, individualsdestined to amass vast fortunes and treasure are identified as possessing Golden Rule. Among these figures, Gilgamesh stands alone at the zenith of opulence, for he has at his disposal enough riches to purchase whatever he may need in any era of summoning, as evidenced by his A-Rank in this skill.

### Stamina

High (Can stay in the world without a Master for a week before being incarnated)

### Weakness

Gilgamesh is insufferably arrogant and will thus almost always hold back unless he sees his opponent as entertainingor worthy of his power. He barely knows how to wield most of the weapons in the Gate of Babylon. After being "blackened" by the mud of the Grail, he physically incarnated and lost he ability to enter spirit form. His arrogance makes him unlikely to use Enuma Elish at its full power, unless facing a worthy opponent.

### Range

Extended melee range, at least Hundreds of Meters with Gate of Babylon,Kilometers (Shattered Rider's Reality Marble) with Enuma Elish (Can shatter Gaia's Reality Marble and destroy the World).

### Intelligence

Created to be the pinnacle of all humans, Gilgamesh is an exceptionallyintelligent individual when he wants to be, easily seeing through lies and discerning any number of forms of magecraft with a glance, predicting the number of weapons Shirou would project at once and countering him with an equal number of weapons from his treasury, instantly seeing through Caster's faked death, and backing away from Saber after she formed a contract with Rin. In addition, Sha Nagba Imuruallows him to see all possible outcomes, allowing him to always make the correct move and discern the True Names and Noble Phantasms of his opponent if he wishes. However, this intelligence is held back by his incredible arrogance, as he refuses to go all out against most opponentsdue to believing himself to be far above them, actively restraining theuse of Sha Nagba Imuru, and only releasing more than a few Noble Phantasms at a time when he's feeling playful or irritated. In addition,due to his position as a king rather than a warrior, he has only mastered a handful of the Noble Phantasms stored in his treasury, preventing him from unleashing their effects most of the time.

### Standard Equipment

His armor, and everything within the Gate of Babylon.

**Gilgamesh** (ギルガメッシュ, *Girugamesshu*) is the Archer-class Servant of Tokiomi Tohsaka during the Fourth Holy Grail War. After Tokiomi's death, he forged a new contract with Kirei Kotomine that lasted until the Fifth Holy Grail War. He is the **King of Heroes** (英雄王, *Eiyū-Ō*),
 the hero of the oldest epic poem in human history, who possessed all
things in the world. Two-thirds a god and one-third human, and born from
 the union of King Lugalbanda and the goddess Rimat-Ninsun, he was a
despot that ruled over and protected Uruk from all things, eventually
turning against the gods themselves.

While in his youth
 he was an earnest and kind boy, he grew highly arrogant as he matured,
becoming a tyrant, and though Uruk's people suffered, the city
prospered. He faced off against Enkidu
 outside the Temple of Uruk, and for the first time in his life, he was
challenged. He emptied out his vault fighting against Enkidu, and when
the battle eventually ended, the two of them had become great friends.
They worked and adventured side by side for years, battling against
monsters side by side and protecting Uruk. After the goddess Ishtar fell in love with him and he rejected her, the Bull of Heaven was unleashed on Uruk.

After the seven years of destruction caused by the beast, he and
Enkidu bound it with the Chains of Heaven and defeated it. Enraged and
humiliated, Ishtar begged for them both to be put to death, but only
Enkidu was punished. He died, returning to nothing but mud, and a
distraught Gilgamesh cursed the gods, swearing that he would never call
another his friend. At that moment, seeing the only person to ever equal
 him die, Gilgamesh became obsessed with his own mortality, and set out
to become immortal. He searched out the sage Ziusudra, an immortal who
hailed from an era before the Great Flood that had wiped out most of
humanity. He searched for decades, but only discovered that Ziusudra had
 joined the gods to become immortal, becoming half-plant in the process.
 But he told Gilgamesh of another method, a herb that would make him
immortal without having to depend on the gods or giving up his humanity
in such a way.

He found this herb, and while he bathed, he felt true
satisfaction and happiness in his own actions and successes for the
first time in his life. But the herb, carelessly set aside in
Gilgamesh's impatience and vanity, was eaten by a snake, gaining the
immortal property of shedding its skin. Gilgamesh, realizing his journey
 had all been pointless, laughed hysterically, and returned to Uruk,
having accepted his mortality and limited lifespan. There, he ruled Uruk
 as a wise king until he finally passed.
