Gilgamesh is really the only candidate for the King of the End.

The "Epic tale of Gilgamesh" is said to be the decisive factor in creating the myth of the Argo. He is also described as having grown weary from his quest to find immortality, and is said to be "the strongest one of all". He was a king who arrived after a devastating flood, which can be viewed as the end of an era. He has slain a monster called Humbaba which is described like a dragon and a demon. he also receives three weapons from Shamash; sun god of law, justice and salvation, those are (the axe of mighty heroes, a great sword with a blade that weights six pounds and a hilt of thirty pounds and the bow of Anshan). This story dates back to around 2500BC and  there are alot of missing text as such it is unknown if he found immortality in the end, but from the text he does fit the image of a wandering hero of steel. The manner of use of his weapons is also a mystery.

There is also a alot of similarities between the "Epic tale of Gilgamesh" and "Odysess and the Odysey", as such it is assumed by historians that his myth started the legend of Odyssess.

I am not sure were his myth of "King of Heroes" comes into play but it does give the impression of a supreme sword god.
