Gill (Earth-430)

"The mark of my divinity shall scar thy DNA."

- - Gill to Liu Kang

Gill is the leader of the Illuminati, a organization bent into remolding mankind into peace, even if that means global destruction or a life by another. Genetically engineered since a child, Gill managed to achieve the powers of a God, even though he is not.

Early Life
Gill is the leader of a mysterious cult-like organization called the Illuminati. The Illuminati has manipulated world events for over 2000 years, and is dedicated to the salvation of mankind and creation of a new utopia. The Illuminati had genetically enhanced Gill in his youth, increasing his strength and speed, and making him even more powerful than Akuma and as powerful as Shinnok. Gill participated in an intense hand-to-hand combat training program and became the top student out of hundreds of enhanced warriors, surpassing even his own jealous brother, Urien.

According to Illuminati legend, the soul of the previous Illuminati Emperor would be reincarnated into a new body after death. Through the results of their special training program, the latest incarnation of the Emperor was none other than Gill. Thus, at the age of 22, Gill was appointed President of the Illuminati. Urien was overlooked due to his emotional instability, and was appointed vice president under Gill. Later, Urien challenged Gill for the presidency of the Illuminati and succeeded, becoming the president. However, Gill was not demoted and was actually promoted to the level of Emperor and messiah.

Third King of Iron Fist Tournament
With the aid of his faithful secretary Kolin, Gill funded and aided the Mishima Zaibatsu into creating a third King of Iron Fist Tournament with the desire of finding those strong enough to be worthy of repopulating humanity after the end of the world.

Under Gill, the Illuminati continued to gain power and resources, acquiring capital and estates. At one time, the organization came into possession of a Jaguar automobile from the father of a British heavyweight boxing champion known as Dudley. Gill was later challenged by Dudley in order to have the automotive heirloom returned. Gill, being respectful of powerful fighting ability, agreed to return the precious car as its worth was insignificant compared to what his organization achieves.

"Death"
However, his plans would halt. During the end of the Third King of Iron Fist Tournament, Gill was killed by Akuma's Shun Goku Satsu, but he resurrected himself immediately afterwards as Akuma walked away.

Aftermath
The Illuminati would continue to conduct genetic enhancements and mutations on humans by the orders of Gill, still during the third tournament, either kidnapping their subjects or creating them artificially. This development series was known as the G-Project, resulting in the creation of super soldiers known as Necro and Twelve, who were designed to carry out the bidding of the Illuminati, though Necro would betray the organization. This project also led to the abduction of a young girl who was under the care of Chun-Li.

Gill's rule was then challenged by his brother, Urien himself, not wanting to be behind the shadow of his younger brother. The two clashed, but Urien finally won against his brother, taking leadership of the Illuminati in order to incite chaos in the world. Gill was saved by Kolin, and in retribution, he consumed her life force, being whole once more. He would wait until the right time to destroy his traitorous brother.

Armageddon
Gill would be called upon Shinnok to join the Army of Darkness in the final battle, but he prompted to try to defeat Shinnok and take leadership over the Netherrealm. Shinnok fought hard, and ultimately won against Gill, making the once proud Illuminati leader become a mindless slave. Under the control of Shinnok, Gill would participate into the final battle of Armageddon, where he died alongside most of the warriors.
