Gilgamesh was a Gangrel methuselah and king of Uruk in ancient Sumer.

Biography

In his lifetime, during the 4th millennium BCE, Gilgamesh was a king of the city-state of Uruk in ancient Sumer. According to Toreador scholars, there was a feud between the Toreador Antediluvian and the Gangrel Antediluvian over the ownership of the Tablet of Destiny.

After some heated battles, Gilgamesh was sought by Ishtar, who proposed to Embrace the mortal if he would aid her in the struggle against Enkidu. At that time, however, Gilgamesh had already been tempted by Ennoia and chose to side with the Gangrel instead.

It is said that the Toreador Antediluvian had to flee the pair, but not before unleashing upon them a great monster known as the Bull of Heaven.
