— In-Game Description

Midas is a Legendary Outfit in Fortnite: Battle Royale that could be obtained at Level 100 of Chapter 2: Season 2 Battle Pass. He was a Spy Boss at The Agency and had his own Mythic Drum Gun. The skin is based on a Greek myth about a man that makes anything he touches turn to gold. He was also the leader of E.G.O. and supposedly a team of agents going undercover for E.G.O. and A.L.T.E.R.

After The Device event, it was revealed that Midas was possibly working undercover for A.L.T.E.R as he changed his appearance after the Event. This might not actually be of relevance, though.

In 2020 Fortnitmares, Midas is seen as a Shadow beast roaming the "Ruins". He is also announced as a cyborg in the "Last Laugh Bundle" released on November 17, 2020.

His Room in The Hideout contains helmets that have been turned gold.
This character is a reference to the classic Greek myth of King Midas and the Golden Touch.
Midas' Golden Agent variant is unlocked at Level 100 and gets more gold every level until level 140 when it is finished (see Golden Agent above for the gold cycle).
Midas used to live on the center island, Eye Land, where The Agency was located. This is proven by gold furniture everywhere in the house at the end of Chapter 2 Season 1.
In Save the World, Midas' golden touch does not function.

He was the last outfit that players were given to choose their side in the hideout.
On hid desk, is a picture of a woman we now know as Jules.
In-game, he is voiced by Matthew Mercer, who is also known for voicing Jesse McCree in Overwatch.

During The Device event, his picture can be seen on a folder on a desk.
After The Device event, Midas turned SHADOW briefly before handing The Agency over to Jules.
Midas was attacked (and was thought to be eaten) by a shark in the Chapter 2: Season 3 trailer. He survived and since then he wears golden armor with the crown symbol of Oro and is called Midas Rex, (part of the Last Laugh Bundle, which is not yet released.) white and gold cloth also hangs in front of him, this is the same as Oro's.
In Chapter 2: Season 3, close to Sweaty Sands was a small boat/raft called Pirate Radio which had a Ghost banner, flag, and a promotion poster. It was be believed that it could be proof that Midas could be alive, surviving the shark attack.
There were 3 golden trucks found in Risky Reels he could have touched.
He is presumably believed to be alive, as stated by Donald Mustard in Twitter where he said, “More and more characters are making their way towards Zero... And yes, Midas seems to be doing just fine."
