Skull Knight

Skull Knight is a major character in Berserk and a non-playable character in Berserk and the Band of the Hawk.

First encountered after Guts resigns from the Band of the Hawk, the Skull Knight warns Guts of the Eclipse, making the mercenary feel uneased. When the Eclipse does come to pass, the Skull Knight helps save Guts and selective few from the Apostles.

Upon learning of an event known as the Incarnation Ceremny, meant to rebirth Femto as Griffith, Skull Knight also confronts his old rival, Zodd.

During the Falcon of the Millenium Empire arc, Skull Knight learns of a special knight armor that would soon be worn by Guts. At Vritannis, Skull prepares to give a fatal blow to Femto, but it is reflected via space distortion to Ganishka, causing the World Transformation. Whether Skull Knight survives this is unknown.

Personality
