Description
Ki serves as a spiritual presence in *The Tower of Druaga: The Sword of Uruk*, directly influencing events to free her cursed husband, King Gilgamesh, from immortality. Her actions in the anime stem from the broader Babylonian Castle Saga franchise narrative.
Originally a priestess from Babylim, Ki nursed Gilgamesh after his enslavement injury by the Sumer Empire. Praying to the goddess Ishtar, she received a quest to retrieve the Blue Crystal Rod from the Tower of Druaga and a protective tiara. During her ascent, she allied with the holy dragon Quox but was captured and petrified by Druaga on the 60th floor upon discovering the rod was fragmented. Gilgamesh later rescued and restored her.
After their escape in *The Return of Ishtar*, Ki wielded the rod’s magic and learned new spells. In most game outcomes, she became queen of Babylim beside Gilgamesh. Three years after Druaga’s defeat, as their marriage approached, the sorceress Skulld kidnapped Ki and sealed her in the Dark Ruins beneath the tower. Though Gilgamesh freed her temporarily, both Ki and Skulld vanished. Ishtar revealed the rescued rod was fake, compelling Gilgamesh to retrieve the true artifact from the past, which restored Ki.
Following her physical death, Ki ascended to the gods. Generations later in the anime, she manifests as a spirit guiding adventurers. Her great-granddaughter Kaaya resembles her physically and serves as a priestess. Ki’s spectral interventions aim to liberate the aged, cursed Gilgamesh from his immortal prison, manipulating events so climbers like Jil’s party confront the tower’s threats—tying her motives to her husband’s torment.
In the *Druaga Online* storyline, a younger Ki was displaced eight years into the future during a tower escape attempt. Stranded in Aon, she allied with Princess Inana to defeat a revived Druaga. After gathering Rainbow Crystal Rod fragments and battling Succubus, she returned to her original timeline, overcoming a death prophecy.
Ki’s legacy endures through descendants like Kaaya and Gilsh, and her spirit remains pivotal in resolving the tower’s mythological curses.
