Gilgamesh

9
Gilgamesh, His role varies... he is sometimes an ally, an optional boss, a summoned monster, or all of these things - but as a whole he is a wandering swordsman with a vast collection of famous and powerful swords. Though he is often an antagonistic presence, Gilgamesh is not truly evil. Conflicts with him usually stem from the party possessing a weapon he wants for his collection, or being tasked to track down Gilgamesh for taking the weapons of others. In Gilgamesh's mind however, he is a duelist who challenges his enemies to honorable combat; if he wins then he has the right to take their weapon as a trophy, and if he loses he will concede defeat and acknowledge their abilities. He enjoys having great duels with worthy opponents and will be disappointed when denied a proper fight, either because his opponent was weak or because Gilgamesh feels he is not able to fight at his full power.
