'''Gilgamesh''' was the [[Ghost]] of [[Katabasis]]. He was driven mad by the [[Crown of Sorrow]] during their time on the [[Glykon Volatus]], and Katabasis was forced to kill Gilgamesh after he began intentionally resurrecting him in dangerous places to get him killed.

==Biography==
At some point following the Collapse, Gilgamesh resurrected [[Katabasis]] as his chosen Guardian. The pair went on to serve under the Vanguard as protectors of the Last City.

===Red War===
During the [[Red Legion|Red Legion's]] surprise attack on the [[Last City]], Gilgamesh's connection to the Light was severed when the Traveler was surrounded by the Legion's [[Traveler Cage|cage]]. He was separated from Katabasis in the chaos of the invasion, but later found him and accompanied him as he escaped the burning City.<ref name="Ire">'''Bungie (2021/2/16)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Captain's_Log#ENTRY_7_-_Ire|Captain's Log - ENTRY 7 - Ire]]''</ref>

Gilgamesh's connection to the Light would later be restored when the Traveler broke free of its cage at the end of the Red War.

===Service to the Emperor===
Gilgamesh traveled with his Guardian as he performed Calus' bidding, being tasked with traveling to [[Nessus]] and stealing a [[Glykon Volatus|Cabal carrier]].<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/16)''', ''[[Season of the Chosen|Destiny 2: Season of the Chosen]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Captain's Log#ENTRY_2_-_Lust and Reappropriation Pt. 1|Captain's Log - ENTRY 2 - Lust and Reappropriation Pt. 1]]''</ref> Once retrieved, the pair aided Calus in securing live Scorn specimens from the Tangled Shore, though were not yet privvy as to why. 

When Calus finally arrived aboard the carrier, he used the Scorn's innate connection to Darkness, in tandem with the Crown of Sorrow and an array of his [[Councilor|Councilors]] to forge a psychic link which he hoped would grant him an audience with [[The Witness|the Voice in the Darkness]] he encountered at the edge of space. After moving the Glykon into a gravitational anomaly, the ship was violently thrashed, allowing the captive Scorn to roam free. With Calus seemingly vanishing, the remaining crew, Gilgamesh and Katabasis included, were left to fend for themselves.

===Aboard the Glykon Volatus===
Gilgamesh and Katabasis went to the [[Cabal]] ship [[Glykon Volatus]] to help [[Calus]] commune with the [[Darkness]]. After traversing through the anomaly left behind as [[Mars]] vanished, the carrier was left stranded near the [[Tangled Shore]]. As the [[Scorn]] trapped inside the ship now freely roamed the halls, Katabasis ordered Gilgamesh to leave him dead until help arrived, lest he starve onboard the ship over and over again. At some point before the events of [[Presage]], Gilgamesh was consumed by whispers coming from a voice in the Darkness, compelling him to continuously resurrect his Guardian in dangerous areas so that the Scorn would eventually cut off their connection to the Light. Katabasis was forced to kill his Ghost with a barrage of shots from his [[Dead Man's Tale|rifle]], dooming him.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/16)''', ''[[Season of the Chosen|Destiny 2: Season of the Chosen]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Captain's Log#ENTRY_12_-_Debtor's Knife|Captain's Log - ENTRY 12 - Debtor's Knife]]''</ref>
