Summary[]
Gargos is one of the main antagonists of the Killer Instinct series. He is a diabolical half-god, who was exiled 2,000 years ago after a failed invasion of Earth. He is strongly tied with Jago as he manipulates him into joining the Killer Instinct tournament to slay anyone who would get in the way of his plans; including Eyedol, his eternal rival. In the events of the second game, Gargos reveals his true intentions to Jago and starts his campaign of world conquest by going 2,000 years back before his previous exile.
