Kingu was a demon in Babylonian mythology, and the consort of the goddess Tiamat before she was slain by Marduk. Tiamat gave Kingu the Tablets of Fate, which he wore as a breastplate and which gave him great power. Eventually, he was killed by Marduk and his blood was used to create mankind. Kingu's pivotal role in the Babylonian creation myth is described in Enûma Elish.
