with Gil, he was kind of self absorbed and arrogant, thought himself greater than gods and man. Gods decided to create Enkidu to try and counter Giilgamesh and the two fought. Slowly they grew to enjoy the fight and eventually called it a tie. Gilgamesh came to find the first person aside from himself he ever truly cared for. the two ruled for a while until Ishtar a beautiful goddess offered herself to Gilgamesh but he refused. Angered by that she asks the gods to punish Gilgamesh. Fearing that they could not actually rival him, they instead took what was precious to him by dissolving Enkidu, something of their creation. He hated them from then on.

Afterwards he seeks to find a means to immortality to further upset the gods and finds Utnapishtim who tells him of a plant to can give him eternal life, he goes after the plant but before grabbing it, a serpent steals it and Gilgamesh just laughs
