Gargarensis

From Age of Mythology Wiki

Gargarensis is a Cyclops and one of Poseidon's offspring. He is the main antagonist of Fall of the Trident. Gargarensis bears a grudge against Poseidon due to his having seduced his grand mother, but decides to help Poseidon in his mission to release Kronos from Tartarus due to his believing that Poseidon will make him immortal for his efforts. He is, consequently, the enemy of Arkantos, who seeks to prevent him from releasing Kronos from his imprisonment. Upon returning to Atlantis, Arkantos discovers Gargarensis has captured the city and is attempting to open a fourth gate to Tartarus buried beneath the city, which was previously unknown to the Atlanteans. In order to aid him, Poseidon brings a large statue to life, which bears the god's own appearance. Zeus, however, grants Arkantos demigod-like power. In the ensuing battle, Arkantos defeats the living Poseidon statue by ramming his spear into it, causing it to topple and the trident that it wields to fall from its grasp and impale Gargarensis.

Gargarensis is a hero unit armed with a trident who possesses the ability to pick up and hurl human soldiers similar to that of a Cyclops unit.

In the original game, Gargarensis often quotes the poem "Lepanto", by G.K. Chesterson.
