Even though Gilgamesh starts out as a cruel, supreme ruler he develops into a very kindhearted man. He is extremely supportive of Enkidu and encourages him in any way that he can. When they are fighting Humbaba, Gilgamesh says, “you will surpass all of them... a friend who knows battle understands fighting... stand, friend, we will go up together.” Gilgamesh also shows that he does have a sensitive side when Enkidu dies.
