These experiments resulted in the creation of the super soldiers known as Necro and Twelve, enhanced beings designed to carry out the bidding of the Illuminati.
#Gill street fighter iii series#
The Illuminati continued to conduct genetic enhancements and other intrusive mutations on humans, either kidnapping their subjects or creating them artificially, in a development series known as the G-Project. Gill, being respectful of powerful fighting ability, agreed to return the precious car, as its financial worth was insignificant compared to the coffers of his organization. When the organization came into possession of a certain Jaguar automobile from the father of a British heavyweight boxing champion known as Dudley, Gill himself was challenged by the pugilist in order to have the automotive heirloom returned.
Under Gill, the Illuminati continued to gain power and resources, acquiring capital and estates through various business transactions. In fact, he was promoted out of the title of president and became the new Emperor and messiah. Urien then became the president of the Illuminati. Later, Urien challenged Gill for the presidency of the Illuminati and succeeded. Urien was overlooked due to his emotional instability, and appointed vice president under Gill. Therefore, at the age of 22, Gill was appointed President of the Illuminati. Gill became the top student out of the hundreds of enhanced warriors involved, surpassing even his own jealous brother, Urien.Īccording to Illuminati legend, the soul of the previous Illuminati Emperor would be reincarnated into a new body after death the organization determined, through the results of their special training program, that the latest incarnation of the Emperor was Gill. The Illuminati had genetically enhanced Gill in his youth, increasing his strength and speed so that he could participate in an intense hand-to-hand combat training program. The sprite of Gill's secretary, Kolin, has an intentionally asymmetrical haircut, so, like Gill, she appears graphically impressive when rotating from facing one direction to another, instead of being a mirrored sprite.Īs they have done with many other characters, Capcom provided a very precise backstory for Gill.ĭespite his ridiculous appearance, Gill is the leader of a mysterious cult-like organization called the Illuminati which has manipulated world events for over 2000 years, and is dedicated to the salvation of mankind, and creation of a new utopia. In SFIII, when Gill is facing right, his attacks are fire-based, while if he's facing left, his attacks are ice-based. Additionally, Gill was designed wearing a thong to show off as much of his red and blue hues as possible. The black and white palette is used as a secondary color. It was later decided to color him red and blue, to better show off the game's graphical power. Originally, Gill was to be colored black and white. In previous SF games, details such as Sagat's eyepatch would switch depending on which way the character was facing. Gill's symmetrical color scheme was a device for Capcom to display the graphical power of the CPS-3 board. He bears a distinct and intentional resemblance to the Greek Gods. His appearance is characterized by his half red and half blue muscular body and long blond hair.
However, his cult uses kidnapping, coercion, DNA manipulation, brainwashing, and extreme force in order to select their chosen people. Gill is presented as a cult leader who would become a benevolent monarch over his worthy subjects. He is distinguished by a very particular color scheme, an symmetrical Red and Blue skin. Gill is the final boss in every version of Street Fighter III.
