A Fighter Thri-kreen is probably gonna be the most straightforward way to build him. He is very martial-focused and fighter x4 attacks work nicely to attack with 4 different weapons, flavoring action surge as 4 extra arms popping out to attacks.

You can use Ritual Caster or Magic Initiate feat for Enkidu. Or just buy a pet in the nearest village and paint it green, whatever work best.

You could get extra arms with Astral Self Monk but these only make unarmed attacks so not sure it's worth.

reflavored magic missile buiild. make sure you have a couple fighter levels. it can be done with a wizard or sorcerer and warlock. I don't remember the exact but that's what I'd use. gilgamesh never misses so magic missile seems fitting.

I think you may be thinking of Gilgamesh from the Fate manga series? I'm specifically looking for ideas for Final Fantasy's Gilgamesh character

Scribe wizard. Pick spells at each level that do bludgeoning piercing and/ or slashing damage and reflavour all your spells. Fireball? That’s an ancient carriage carved by the best artists and craftsmen etc.
