Dark Lord Gaol (ダークロードガオル Daaku Roodo Gaoru, known in Japan as "Demon King Gainas" 魔王ガイナス Maou Gainasu) is a brand new antagonist introduced in Kid Icarus: Uprising. He appears to be a dark, knight-like character that speaks in an evil and distorted voice. He serves as the boss of Magnus and the Dark Lord. It is shown that he lives in a dreary castle, and that he serves as another rival towards Palutena, as well as Magnus who has apparently had past encounters with him. In the trailer from E3 2011, Gaol doesn't appear intimidated by Pit at all, referring to him as "Palutena's little messenger boy."
Characteristics
Dark Lord Gaol wears knight-like armor over his entire body, to the point that only his green eyes are visible. He has a green aura radiating from his hands, and wears a large red cape. His most notable features are the two massive horns that extend from his helmet. In addition, it appears that the pattern on his cape is made up of numerous eyes.
Trivia
- It has been stated in an interview that Dark Lord Gaol was designed to look like a final boss of an RPG game, to the point of him being a "breaking the fourth wall" type of character.
- A "gaol" is defined as a form of prison or jail. Therefore, the dark lord may be named after his castle, which fits this description rather well.
- Dark Lord Gaol is one of the few major characters that doesn't seem to be based on any well-known mythological figures.
