Though his destiny was to someday die like all of us humans he did not see that. The fact that he was a king and was given some godly powers, led him to the illusion of him being higher than everyone else and that he would live forever. This also led him to be very cruel to his people only to please himself, and reassure himself of that power. Gilgamesh was taken over by evil through the power he was given.

He was extremely evil towards his people. “…his arrogance has no bounds by day or night.
