- — In-Game Description
Midas is a Legendary Outfit in Fortnite: Battle Royale that could be unlocked by reaching Level 100 in the Chapter 2: Season 2 Battle Pass.
Midas is based on the Greek myth about a king of the same name, who turned everything he touched into gold. It is speculated that he is a part of The Seven, though this may not be correct.

Lore
He was also most likely the leader of now known as GHOST and supposedly a team of agents going undercover for E.G.O. and A.L.T.E.R..
In Chapter 2: Season 2: Midas could be found as a boss at the Agency. He was heavily guarded by GHOST Henchmen and could be defeated. Like all bosses, he had his own unique drops: his drum gun and the Agency Keycard - which could be used to unlock the vault. Inside the vault laid a foundation of loot.
After the Device live event, it was revealed that Midas was possibly working undercover for Shadow as he changed his appearance after the event. This might not actually be of relevance, though, as this may have just been an indication of that The Agency would become a Shadow Base. Midas likely handed over the The Agency to Jules to turn into The Authority.
At the start of Chapter 2: Season 3, Midas was attacked by a Loot Shark in the trailer. He was thought to have been eaten. However, he was brought back through some sort of ritual, in the form of Shadow Midas. Another snapshot of Midas, named Midas Rex was then released.

- There were 3 golden trucks found in Risky Reels that he might have touched.
