By default, Kilgor is not playable, but he may be enabled in custom scenarios in the map editor.

== Story ==
Kilgor came of age during the [[Festival of Life (event)|Festival of Life]] and successfully won the tournament. He defeated the legendary {{Cn|Ancient Behemoth}} [[Razor Claw (creature)|Razor Claw]], cleared all monsters from a region of [[Krewlod]], defeated all the other competitors and eventually killed the current king, {{Hn|Boragus|0=}}.

Several years later, [[Kija]] (Kilgor's third wife) successfully beat {{Hn|Gelu|0=}} and {{Hn|Tarnum|image=Tarnum (Overlord)|0=}} to the [[Sword of Frost]], acquiring it instead for Kilgor. When Kilgor later fought Gelu, his [[Sword of Frost]] clashed with Gelu's {{An|Armageddon's Blade}}, thus sparking [[The Reckoning]] and rendering [[Enroth (planet)|Enroth]] uninhabitable.

Kilgor's first invasion into [[Bracada]] turned into a disaster. He was trapped by {{Hn|Solmyr|0=}}, {{Hn|Astral|0=}}, {{Hn|Adelaide|0=}}, and {{Hn|Sir Mullich|0=}} and had to be rescued by {{Hn|Dargem|0=}}.

==== Alternative biography ====
The following biography was supposed to appear on the official (now-defunct) 3DO website, but due to a mistaken link was either never properly available or wasn't available among other biographies during all the dates the website was saved at by the Wayback Machine. A number of people claim they have accessed this biography ''somewhere'' on said website. The text was found on [https://www.maps4heroes.com/main_heroes_eng.php?id=3 maps4heroes.com]:

:<div style="font-style: italic;">Few remember a time when Kilgor did not fight alongside his father in many of [[Krewlod]]'s internal clan wars. On his 18th birthday, Kilgor challenged his father for leadership of the clan. Falling quickly to his son's superior skill and ferocity, some say Kilgor's father died with a smile on his face. Why wouldn't a father be proud of his son's accomplishments?

:<div style="font-style: italic;">Despite being the son of a clan leader, Kilgor's life has not been one of comfort being brought up in the clan's military schooling.

:<div style="font-style: italic;">Knowing he would come of age during the 30 year '[[Festival of Life]]', everything Kilgor has done was to prepare himself for his rise to the Krewlod's throne. His [[Tactics|tactics]] have been called 'reckless' and 'brilliant'. Those who have encountered him on the battlefield and survived, recount stories of his 'insane pleasure' for the bloodlust of battle and the uncontrollable giggles of glee accompanying his [[Berserk|berserker's rage]]. Kilgor has always sought the most chaotic center of the battlefield. To this day, he has always emerged from this chaos as the victor.

:<div style="font-style: italic;">Kilgor's weapon of choice is a large two-handed spiked mace. He was once heard commenting, "You can't hear bones break under a blade."

==== [[Lost Manuscripts]] ====
In 1172 [[AS]], Kilgor began his attempt to conquer [[Antagarich]]. He quickly took over parts of [[Erathia]] bordering [[Tatalia]], then began invading [[Tatalia]] itself. {{Hn|Adrienne|0=}} managed to forge an alliance between [[Tatalia]] and [[Erathia]] against Kilgor, but it did little more than slow him down. As [[Erathia]] was also busy fending off an assault from {{Hn|Mutare Drake|0=}}, Kilgor quickly took over [[Marshland]], the southern part of [[Tatalia]], [[Hillbridge]], [[Minewell]] and southern [[Avauntnell]]. His assault is stymied by {{Hn|Lysander|0=}}, who reclaimed [[Avauntnell]] and most of [[Minewell]] before eventually reclaiming most of [[Erathia]]. Kilgor, however, personally leads the [[Krewlod]] forces in [[Tatalia]], proving to be incredibly difficult to fight. He continues his bloodthirsty assault on [[Tatalia]] through 1176 [[AS]], killing the king and destroying the country. In 1177 [[AS]], Kilgor acquires the [[Sword of Frost]] and forces {{Hn|Gelu|0=}} to confront him with {{An|Armageddon's Blade}}, thus causing [[The Reckoning]] and rendering [[Enroth (planet)|Enroth]] uninhabitable.

{{user commentary|
The most likely reason Kilgor is banned by default is because he potentially makes the "[[Behemoth]] rush" overpowered.
