The leader of a mysterious
cult-like organization called the Illuminati. The Illuminati has manipulated
world events for over 2000 years, and is dedicated to the salvation of mankind
and creation of a new utopia. The
Illuminati had genetically enhanced Gill in his youth, increasing his strength
and speed, and making him even more powerful than Akuma.
Gill participated in an intense hand-to-hand combat training program and became
the top student out of hundreds of enhanced warriors, surpassing even his own
jealous brother, Urien. With the aid of
his faithful secretary Kolin (pronounced "Colleen"), Gill organized
the third World Warrior tournament with the desire of finding those strong
enough to be worthy of repopulating humanity after the end of the world.
According to
Illuminati legend, the soul of the previous Illuminati Emperor will be
reincarnated into a new body after death. Through the results of their special
training program, the latest incarnation of the Emperor was none other than
Gill. Thus, at the age of 22, Gill was appointed President of the Illuminati.
Urien was overlooked due to his emotional instability, and was appointed vice
president under Gill. Later, Urien challenged Gill for the presidency of the
Illuminati and succeeded, becoming the president. However, Gill was not demoted
and was actually promoted to the level of Emperor and messiah.
Under Gill, the
Illuminati continued to gain power and resources, acquiring capital and
estates. At one time, the organization came into possession of a Jaguar
automobile from the father of a British heavyweight boxing champion known as Dudley.
Gill was later challenged by Dudley in order to have the automotive heirloom
returned. Gill, being respectful of powerful fighting ability, agreed to
return the precious car as its worth was insignificant compared to what his
organization achieves. At some point during the end of the Third World Warrior
Tournament, Gill was killed by Akuma's Shun Goku Satsu, but he resurrected
himself immediately afterwards as Akuma walked away.
The Illuminati
conducted genetic enhancements and mutations on humans, either kidnapping
their subjects (like Gill) or creating them artificially (like Urien). This
development series was known as the G-Project, resulting in the creation of
super soldiers known as Necro
and Twelve, who were
designed to carry out the bidding of the Illuminati. This project also led to
the abduction of a young girl who was under the care of Chun-Li.
