Well I'd say that arrogance is part of what makes Gilgamesh, Gilgamesh. He's the only person I know who can resist the taint of the black grail because he's so damn full of himself.
In fact, I wonder why he doesn't have an NP associated with his ego.
He's like Kuroro from HxH or Wally from Ippo.
Kuroro is always greedy and wanting to steal things, even if it makes disadvantage against strong opponents. That's why his powers are associated with stealing things.
Wally is always jumping around like a hyperactive monkey whether he needs it or not, and that's why he's so fast.
Their character flaws are part of what they are. To not act that way would be to deny themselves.

It can’t treat one group differently from another.” Malcolm Gladwell
