Gilgamesh is a recurring character in the Final Fantasy series.
Initially introduced as an antagonist in Final Fantasy V, Gilgamesh has appeared in a number of other titles since, and been added to remakes of earlier titles, and become the most recurring singular character in Final Fantasy media. 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.
While Gilgamesh's appearance, battle prowess, and arsenal vary between appearances, there are some common recurring elements. He is a collector of weapons, particularly swords and katanas, and owns many such weapons which may be taken from other Final Fantasy titles. He is particularly associated with Excalibur and its weak imitation, the Excalipoor; many games depict Gilgamesh wielding these two weapons, or he is seeking the Excalibur and mistakes the Excalipoor for it. Gilgamesh has also owned the weapons of other Final Fantasy characters, but it is often implied they are also counterfeits and may have visual differences from the originals as a mark of this. Gilgamesh is closely associated with Genji equipment, which can be stolen from or dropped by him. In some titles this is the only way Genji equipment can be obtained. His partner is Enkidu, who has varied in appearance across titles even more than Gilgamesh, which is sometimes explained by Gilgamesh not being accompanied by the recurring character Enkidu, so he has instead taken an animal companion with a green appearance and named it Enkidu. Gilgamesh considers Bartz his rival and specifically mentions him in some games, and that he hopes to find him again someday so they can have a great duel.
Unlike other recurring characters, like Cid and Biggs and Wedge, it is heavily implied that the different characters named Gilgamesh encountered in different Final Fantasy games are the same person, using the power of the Rift to travel to different worlds. While this is plausible for some incarnations, there is no clear continuity to which incarnations of Gilgamesh are the same and how they relate to the others, as some Final Fantasy games give Gilgamesh a detailed backstory that may be at odds with his other appearances. In spin-off games, Gilgamesh is almost always representing Final Fantasy V unlike other recurring characters, whose different incarnations usually represent their own respective games.
Final Fantasy
Main article: Gilgamesh (Final Fantasy) Gilgamesh appears in the Dawn of Souls and subsequent remakes. He is in the Lifespring Grotto, a bonus dungeon, together with three other Final Fantasy V bosses. After the Warriors of Light talk to some mermaids, they find a mysterious sword. It is most likely the Excalipoor (the Excalibur can be found later in another dungeon). Upon inspecting the sword, Gilgamesh, who is described as a rude man wielding a halberd, attacks the party. If the player does not speak to the mermaids, they can face Gilgamesh in the exit room near the teleport spot and he will speak a different set of words. Gilgamesh has 8,888 HP (like in the third fight with him in Final Fantasy V) and unleashes physical attacks that can easily KO even a high level character. He drops Genji Gloves upon his defeat. He is somewhat easy to beat should the player's party be at a high level.
Final Fantasy IV: The After Years
Main article: Gilgamesh (The After Years) Gilgamesh is summoned as a boss by the Creator in the final dungeon. During the battle he will feign defeat and cast Haste, Protect and Shell on himself before continuing the battle. When defeated, he mutters "... Bartz...?" before vanishing. The party wonders what "Bartz" means, and thinks that in spite of his appearance, Gilgamesh did not seem evil. He drops the Excalipoor upon his defeat.
Final Fantasy V
Main article: Gilgamesh (Final Fantasy V) In his debut appearance, Gilgamesh is a major antagonist, acting as Exdeath's right-hand-man. For the bigger part of the game, Gilgamesh has morphed his appearance, but he reveals his true appearance later. The party can steal Genji equipment from him. Gilgamesh's transformation line in the English localization of Final Fantasy V Advance is a reference to the popular series Power Rangers. In this version he also alludes to Team Rocket's original motto from the Pokémon series after Enkidu appears.

Main article: Battle at the Big Bridge
"Battle at the Big Bridge"
https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/File:Clash_on_the_Big_Bridge.ogg
Gilgamesh's leitmotif is called "Battle at the Big Bridge" and originally played during four of the battles against him in Final Fantasy V. Since its original appearance, it has followed Gilgamesh in several of his cameos and had several rearrangements and adaptations, and became one of the most popular themes of the series.
According to the fifth "Chocobo's FF Laboratory" feature published in the November 1993 edition of V-Jump, the initial design for Gilgamesh was created by Tetsuya Nomura, although Yoshitaka Amano was the one who drew the character's final artwork. The magazine states that Nomura's initial design looked like a cross between Gilgamesh's first and second in-game forms.
In the page quote, Gilgamesh refers to the 1990's series, Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers.
The character is named after the ancient Mesopotamian hero Gilgamesh.
Gilgamesh's Genji equipment refers to him being wandering royalty. In Japanese "genji" is a term used for a wandering noble or prince.
Gilgamesh's signature attack, "Ultimate Illusion", is a synonym for "Final Fantasy".
Gilgamesh is one of few characters in the Final Fantasy franchise to have held his own against entire armies, once during the clash on the big bridge in Final Fantasy Type-0, as well as against Galuf's army. This is a direct parallel to Benkei, who was known for facing down impossible odds on bridges.
Master Creatures produced a six and a half inch tall figure of Gilgamesh in their third series of Final Fantasy characters. The figure's information describes it as wearing the Genji armor and wielding the Excalipoor, among other weapons.
There are also two figures based on Gilgamesh's appearance in Final Fantasy VIII, one with him standing and the other kneeling, and both with the four swords he uses in the game.
[view · edit · purge]Gilgamesh is the main character of the Epic of Gilgamesh, an Akkadian poem considered the first great work of literature. He is a demigod with superhuman strength who builds the walls of Uruk to defend his people and travels to meet the sage Utnapishtim, a survivor of the Great Flood.
Gilgamesh is believed to have actually existed by many scholars. It is estimated he lived sometime between 2800 and 2500 BC. The Sumerian King List claims Gilgamesh ruled the city of Uruk for 126 years.
Gilgamesh in Final Fantasy is also based on Benkei, a famous character in the Japanese mythologies and chronicles of the Genpei War. A powerful warrior monk said to have personally defeated 200 men in every battle he engaged in and said to have had the strength of demons, Benkei's introduction sees him set out to collect 1,000 weapons, and to this end he posted himself at Gōjō Bridge in Kyoto and challenged every warrior who attempted to cross. On his 1000th duel Benkei was defeated by Minamoto no Yoshitsune, the only defeat he had ever known, and became his faithful retainer throughout the rest of his life.
From the story of Benkei, Gilgamesh takes his preference for the naginata (Benkei's traditional weapon as a monk), his penchant for fighting on bridges, his collecting of weapons from enemies he defeats, and his friendship with the player's characters who defeat him. Benkei's devotion to Yoshitsune is the basis for Gilgamesh's association with Genji equipment—the Minamoto Clan is also called the Genji Clan, using the alternate pronunciation for the Chinese characters for mina and moto, gen and uji, respectively. Gilgamesh's face paint is based on traditional kabuki actors, for which Benkei is a popular character to portray.
