Gilgamesh

Gilgamesh (c. 2700–2600 BCE) was king of the city-state of Uruk in ancient Mesopotamia and the hero of the Epic of Gilgamesh, the oldest surviving epic in human memory. Two-thirds god and one-third man, he is remembered as the earliest of all hero-kings. He raised the great walls of Uruk and the temple of Eanna, and pushed the irrigation works of the Tigris and Euphrates to new heights. The epic records him as a lawgiver, fixing the city's courts of judgment and the framework of a citizen's rights and duties. His military reforms standardized the defensive order of the Sumerian city-states, and his pattern of rule — carried far on tablets of cuneiform — became the prototype for the Old Empires of Mesopotamia and the monarchies that followed across the Middle East & Africa.

A melee vanguard of the Infantry line, Gilgamesh stands where the wall must hold — a tank and a guardian-support woven into one. He plants himself at the head of the formation and opens a god-king's bulwark, soaking the first blow so the line behind him does not break. By the weave of fate he keeps watch over his most wounded ally, drawing their hurt onto his own unkillable frame, and steadies the whole company against the cruelest strikes. When the fight turns dire he becomes an undying wall — immovable, untouchable — and under his shadow every nearby hero bleeds far less. He turns his own deathlessness into living room for the army.
