Profile
Origin
In Mesopotamian mythology, Gilgamesh (Sumerian: 𒀭𒄑𒉋𒂵𒎌The [Kinsman] is a Hero, romanized: Bilgames) is the main figure of the Epic of Gilgamesh. He was the arrogant and powerful king of Uruk, said to be two-thirds god and one-third man. In response to his subject's pleas, the gods created a wild man raised by animals named Enkidu to be Gilgamesh's equal. Gilgamesh and Enkidu formed an unlikely friendship, and would embark on grand adventures together. One such adventure was their journey to the Cedar Forest, in which they vanquished the beast Humbaba with the aid of Shamash the sun god. Gilgamesh was also proposed to by the love goddess Inanna (referred to as Ishtar), but rejecting her advances resulted in the Bull of Heaven being unleashed upon Uruk, to which Gilgamesh and Enkidu defeated it and saved the city. However, Enkidu died of a sickness cast upon him by the gods, spurring Gilgamesh's quest to find Utnapishtim, a Great Flood survivor who was divinely granted eternal life. Utnapishtim spoke of a magic plant of youthfulness that laid at the bottom of the ocean, which Gilgamesh found following another arduous journey. Unfortunately, a serpent stole the plant before he could consume it. Gilgamesh was then forced to return to Uruk empty-handed, having come to terms with his own mortality.
Design
