Pippin

Pippin (ピピン, Pipin) is a secondary character in Berserk and a non-playable character in Berserk and the Band of the Hawk.

Formerly a coal miner, Pippin joins the Band of the Hawk and leads as one of its commanders. He and Guts are the power duo of the mercenary group; his differences from his counterpart are his unfailing reliability, controlled strikes, and staunch defense. Pippin also has a hyper-sensitive reflex for danger; the instant he feels something is afoot, he never fails to alert his comrades in a booming voice.

Pippin is a part of the Griffith rescue effort and saves the group from a female Kushan assassin. During the Eclipse, Pippin puts himself in harm's way to protect Judeau and Casca's flight. He is surrounded by a swarm of Apostles and fights to his last breath. Guts later sees Pippin standing on the horizon of the hellish landscape, thinking that he may have survived; his hopes are crushed when Pippin's hollowed corpse dangles from an Apostle's tentacle.
