Age: Unknown

Gender: Male

Species: Unicorn

Appearance: Gilgamesh is a tall and dignified young stallion. He is described as handsome with an elegant face, and his eyes, crimson like blood, are visibly not those of a human and give off a mysterious radiance that makes people wither.described as emanating majesty that makes flames surrounding him afraid to come close. He normally wears golden armor that makes a heavy first impression on those he encounters. He is often referred to as the "golden Archer" and the "golden-sparkling Servant," and Rider generally calls him "Goldy" or "goldie", but it has less to do with the color of his hair and more simply due to the fact that she thinks he looks like he is living a rich and luxurious life.

Cutie Mark: He would never need such things

Personality: Gilgamesh is extremely arrogant and selfish. He claims that everything in the world is his possession and he's the one and only king. He cannot acknowledge the authority of anyone, even from the gods. He's incredibily proud, especially of his collection of treasures. He views everyone as inferior and does not care for their feelings at all. After he saw enough of the modern world, he decided to cleanse it from humans since they have become weak and unworthy of his rule. On the course of the 4th Grail War he took interest in Saber and developed an obsession with her. In battle, he's prone to underestimate his opponents and views fights as a game of amusement. His gigantic pride prevents him from acknowledging his opponent as a real threat and he does not fight him/her seriously. As such he prefers to severely handicap himself and just mindlessly shower his incredible volume of Noble Phantasms.<br /><br /><br />

Backstory: Gilgamesh is the great half-god, half-human king that ruled the Sumerian city-state of Uruk, the capital city of ancient Mesopotamia in Eastern Equestria, in the years before Celestia. He was an ultimate, transcendent being so divine as to be two thirds god and one third human, and no others in the world could match him. He was a despot possessing high divinity who believed he was invincible. He is not merely a legend, and is said to have actually existed and ruled during the Sumer Dynasty five thousand years ago. He was the King of Heroes who possessed all things in the world, whose tale is recorded in ponykind's oldest epic poem, the "Epic Tale of Gilgamesh."
