## Summary

Gilgamesh is the strongest heroic spirit and king of heroes the first hero and origin of all heroes later on the antagonist of Fate/Stay Night.

**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.

**Standard Equipment**:

* **Gate of babylon**: The Gate of Babylon is a Noble Phantasm that belongs to Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes. It is a golden key that opens a portal to his treasury, where he stores all the treasures he collected in his life, including the original versions of every Noble Phantasm ever created by humanity. The Gate of Babylon allows Gilgamesh to summon and launch any weapon or item from his vault at his enemies or use them for his own benefit. The Gate of Babylon is connected to Gilgamesh’s legend as the ruler of Uruk, the ancient city of Mesopotamia. According to the Epic of Gilgamesh, he was a tyrannical king who oppressed his people and claimed all the women for himself. He was challenged by Enkidu, a wild man created by the gods, and they fought for several days. Eventually, they became friends and went on many adventures together, including slaying the Bull of Heaven and the Humbaba, the guardian of the Cedar Forest. Gilgamesh also sought the secret of immortality after Enkidu’s death, but failed to obtain it. He returned to Uruk and became a wise and benevolent king, who built the walls of the city and collected all the treasures of the world in his vault. The Gate of Babylon is a symbol of Gilgamesh’s pride and arrogance, as well as his power and authority. It represents his claim to be the owner of everything in the world, and his disdain for those who would oppose him. It also reflects his loneliness and grief, as he lost his only friend and realized the futility of his quest for eternal life. The Gate of Babylon is both his greatest weapon and his greatest weakness, as it can be used against him by those who can match his strength or exploit his flaws.

* **Ea**: Ea is the name of Gilgamesh’s most powerful weapon, and the only one that he claims to be his original creation. Ea’s mysterious nature stems from the fact that it is not a conventional sword, but a divine construct that transcends the laws of physics and magic. It is said to be the only thing that existed before the creation of the world, and the only thing that will remain after its destruction. Ea’s power is so immense that it can distort space and time, and even affect the very fabric of reality. It can reveal the “Truth” of the world, which is the primordial state of chaos and nothingness that existed before the gods shaped it into order. Ea is also the only weapon that can counter the Enuma Elish of Enkidu, Gilgamesh’s friend and rival, who was created by the gods as a counterpart to Gilgamesh. Ea’s origin and mechanism are shrouded in mystery, as Gilgamesh himself does not fully understand how it works. He only knows that it is his own creation, and that it is the ultimate expression of his authority as the King of Heroes. He rarely uses it, as he considers it to be too precious and powerful for most situations. He also does not allow anyone else to touch it or even look at it, as he believes that no one is worthy of witnessing its glory. Ea is the epitome of Gilgamesh’s pride and arrogance, as well as his loneliness and isolation. It is a sword that can unleash a devastating attack called Enuma Elish, which is also the name of the Babylonian creation myth. Ea’s blade is shaped like a cylindrical drill that can rotate at high speed, generating a spatial distortion that can tear apart the world and expose the “Truth” behind it. Ea is ranked as an EX-class Noble Phantasm, meaning that it is beyond the scope of normal classification and can only be opposed by another EX-class Noble Phantasm4. Ea is related to Gilgamesh’s legend as the first hero of humanity, who possessed all the treasures of the world. Ea is the name of the Mesopotamian god of water and wisdom, who was also the patron deity of Gilgamesh. Ea was the one who created humans from clay, and also the one who warned Utnapishtim, the ancestor of Gilgamesh, about the great flood that would wipe out humanity. Ea represents Gilgamesh’s connection to the divine, as well as his authority over the creation and destruction of the world. Ea is also the only weapon that Gilgamesh truly respects, as he does not allow anyone else to touch it or even look at it.

* **Tablets of destiny**: The Tablets of Destiny are a powerful artifact that appears in the Fate/Grand Order anime and game. They are based on the ancient Mesopotamian myth of the god Enlil and the monstrous bird Anzu, who stole the tablets from him. The tablets contain the decrees of fate that govern the world and the gods, and whoever possesses them can control everything. In Fate/Grand Order, the Tablets of Destiny are one of the treasures that Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes, collected in his golden city of Uruk. Gilgamesh is a legendary hero who ruled Uruk in ancient times and is said to be two-thirds god and one-third human. The Tablets of Destiny are a symbol of Gilgamesh's authority and power over the world and the gods, and a source of his strength as a Servant. They also represent his arrogance and pride, as he believes he is the only one worthy of ruling everything.

**Intelligence**: **Intellectual Archetype** (Was the oldest and one of the wisest king in mythological history, his only downfall is his arrogance which primarily stems from his intellect and understanding of his supreme status)

**Weakness**: Is atrociously arrogant as a result of his status as the strongest hero in his own myth alongside enkidu
