Berserk Characters — Main Cast Guide

A battle-scarred mercenary swordsman, born on a hanged corpse and raised as a soldier from childhood. His search for a place to belong led him to the Band of the Hawk — and to Griffith's ultimate betrayal, which now drives him on a solitary quest for vengeance against demonkind.

A skilled commander within the Band of the Hawk and the only woman to rise to its officer ranks. Her complicated feelings for both Griffith and Guts, and the trauma she suffers during the Eclipse, define much of the story's emotional core.

The brilliant, magnetic commander of the Band of the Hawk, driven by an all-consuming ambition to obtain his own kingdom. His sacrifice of the entire Band during the Eclipse — becoming the Apostle Femto — is the series' defining atrocity.
