Gilgamesh's place in City of's lore

Now, this is kind of a silly thing to speculate on, but I felt I should try, and despite how I tend to dislike the Well hijacking everything. I felt it has a special place here, and maybe other folks could help piece this together?

Basically, I have this theory that Gilgamesh of Babylonian Mythology was the original Incarnate, in legend he is described as 'Two Thirds God, on third man' which is theoretically impossible unless... That last faction of divinity beyond half could be attributed to the Well's favor, and Gilgamesh describes EVERYTHING the Well would favor in an Incarnate.
Powerful (even before it came into the picture), ambitious, and thirsting for adventure and to expand his empire.
But doesn't Incarnatedom leave you with immortality? That thing Gilgamesh had half of an epic devoted to seeking?
The reasons are obvious: A) he wanted to bring back Enkidu in this case, and B) at some point he had a falling out with the Well, I would bet the Well also couldn't control Gilgamesh because he had such a powerful will and was strong by default. It's also possible that in City of-verse, The Well was actually Ishtar. (Afterall, if the well can take many forms, what's to say it couldn't also take the shape of a woman?)

Adding to this, and to alleviate the devs from the awkwardness of writing gilgamesh and enkidu's relationship as... Something closer. (as much as golden girl would love it.)
It could be that Enkidu was a child spawned between Gilgamesh and the Well, thus, Enkidu and Gilgamesh's closeness was that of a father and son, and more than that, a father, who is horribly bored, finally meeting his worthy equal.

Thus, with Enkidu having a much stronger connection to the Well of Furies, the Well's control was strong enough to kill him after Gilgamesh T'd her off too much.

tl;dr: Wild mass guessing: Gilgamesh was an Incarnate, The Well of furies used to be a goddess known as Ishtar, and Enkidu was their son.
What do you folks think?

Works for me. Everything's an Incarnate these days, so why not? Heck, the couch in my superbase is an Incarnate.

I think Jack would like this interpretation.

Gilgamesh was a godling king
Of him the harpers sadly sing
The fifth of Uruk ere its fall
When Sargon's army breached its wall

The skies roared with thunder and the earth heaved,
Then came darkness and a stillness like death.
Lightening smashed the ground and fires blazed out;
Death flooded from the skies.
When the heat died and the fires went out,
The plains had turned to ash.

I remember gaudy days
When the year was springing,
Tammuz, Gilgamesh, and I
Clinking cups and singing,
Until Innini sauntered by,
Skimpy garments clinging
To her hips and things like that;
Tammuz left us, winging.

I like this. I've always had a love for all things mythology and Gilgamesh is one of my favorites.

I've always wanted to make Enkidu, but could never get the proper look right.

One of my characters is supposed to be a host body for Erishkigal.

So, what was Gilgamesh's Incarnate power, keeping the castaways from getting of the island?

I've not read every post cuz many of them seem to have gone off topic but I like how the OP is thinking

Gilgamesh is the first named human - and has a place in legend as a person who is not simply legendary but also historical - and there are very few others who can claim that right.

I dislike the incarnate story very much but at least involving a demi-god like that you can bring it back into a sphere I like
