A sorta modern gilgamesh and enkidu story, but it ties into fate/grand order, and I cant tell if I want this modern gil to be summoned as a servant or to become a master at chaldea. Tell me What you think.

grant “gilgamesh” archer

Born into the powerful and storied Archer magus family, Grant was a prodigy of magecraft. His family specialized in the expansion of space within objects—magecraft used to create artificially enlarged storage, which they sold at exorbitant prices to other magi and organizations.

Grant refined and elevated this craft into something entirely his own: a magecraft he named the Gate of Babylon. By expanding the space between molecules, he created an independent pocket dimension—one he could access freely, storing and deploying objects at will, and even altering the fundamental physical laws that governed the space within.

After achieving this, Grant abandoned his given name and took on the name “Gilgamesh,” severing himself from his family as the first step toward becoming something greater than them.

As his power grew, so did his distance from others. Within his family, he became cold and absolute—decisions were made without discussion, expectations enforced without compromise. To him, others existed within a structure he had already surpassed, something to be directed rather than understood.  That changed when he met Enkidu, An enigmatic prodigy in their own right, Enkidu was a master craftsman of mystic codes. Where Gilgamesh ruled, Enkidu created. Where Gilgamesh controlled, Enkidu refined. For the first time, Gilgamesh allowed someone to stand beside him—not beneath him—and Enkidu became the only person he acknowledged as a friend.

Together, they pursued a singular goal: to create a mystic code so perfect its existence would be unsurpassable.

Every creation Enkidu made was deemed a failure—not out of rejection, but because it had not yet reached that impossible ideal. Each of these “failures” was given to Gilgamesh, who claimed them as the treasures of Babylon—his personal treasury, a growing collection of everything Enkidu had created.

Years passed, and the two approached the point where they would be forced to inherit their respective houses. Gilgamesh would return to lead the Archer family. Enkidu would do the same. Both rejected this future, searching for a way to escape it.

Days before Gilgamesh’s eighteenth birthday, Enkidu revealed the truth: they were a homunculus—an artificial human with a finite lifespan—and would not live beyond that day.  With the last of their life, Enkidu created two final mystic codes.

The first was a chain bearing the name Enkidu—semi-sentient, capable of acting independently to bind and guard, responding to threats against Gilgamesh even without direct command.

The second was the masterpiece enkidu had always longed for: Ea, the Sword of Rupture. A blade beyond comprehension to any and all exepting gilgamesh, A blade that spiraled and twisted along its length, embodying the complexity and struggle of life, ending in a flat, sudden point—a life cut short, yet undeniable in its brilliance. The blade was deemed as perfection by gilgamesh meer moments before enkidu's body lost its structure and fell apart in gilgamesh's arms.

Before their death, Enkidu did not ask Gilgamesh to change. They did not ask him to become kinder, or better.

Instead, they told him this:

To find people who were worth as much as any treasure within Babylon—and to guard and value them the same way he had always guarded what was his.  Gilgamesh accepted those words, but understood them only as he understood everything else: as ownership, as preservation, as something that could be kept and never lost.  When Enkidu died, Gilgamesh did not return to his family.  He simply left.

This is where it diverges, because I could have him wander the world and eventually make a contract with aliya, or have him be invited to join chaldea as a master, and either one sound good to me but they take the story in totally different directions.
