For more details on this topic, see Sword of the Berserk: Guts' Rage and Berserk: Millennium Falcon Hen Seima Senki no Shō. Guts serves his years in the Band of the Hawks, commanding one of its formidable raider units as the Band of the Hawk fights in the King of Midland's campaign against the Kingdom of Chudor. During this campaign Guts encounters Nosferatu Zodd, a formidable demon Apostle who defeats both Guts and Griffith, but stops short of killing them when he notices Griffith's pendant, a Crimson Behelit. Laughing, he disappears from the dungeon, offering the Hawks a quizzical victory. The next morning, Guts, Casca and their companions rise from the rubble of the monastery, in time to witness Griffith, born into the world from Casca's warped child, rise from his cocoon and fly away atop Nosferatu Zodd. The word probably comes from the Syriac word " Beherit", a Great Duke of Hell — the r turning into an l is an often-made mistake in localization. The Behelit Griffith found reached him, for it was his fate to become a new member of the God Hand. In this regard, his Behelit was also unique, for it was meant to be used by the one new mortal to transcend and become a member of the God Hand. The other Behelits seen in Berserk are minor compared to Griffith's: meant to transform the one who possessed it at the right time into Apostles. Apostles, which are humans who have offered their most precious possessions in exchange to escape their horrendous fate, can transform into hideous creatures (a bizarre manifestation of their ego) and bow down to the God Hand, though there are a few exceptions in the manga.Created by Kentaro Miura, Berserk is manga mayhem to the extreme - violent, horrifying, and mercilessly funny - and the wellspring for the internationally popular anime series. Not for the squeamish or the easily offended, Berserk asks for no quarter - and offers none! I'm a guy that works on Dark Horse's translations". "So sometimes we'll work in some subtle reference to other awesome things. For instance, when Guts first gets his iron arm, we had him saying, 'Groovy!'" SkullKnight.net. Those marked for sacrifice are branded with the God Hand's Brand of Sacrifice, a laceration marked into their skin, which bleeds and hurts the victim when in the presence of a demon or demigod. As part of the ceremony, the God Hand calls forth innumerable Apostles to feast upon the sacrificial offering. None are meant to survive the ritual, but any that do are forever branded, and wherever they may go, they will never know true peace, as, when night falls, local spirits attempt to overwhelm and reclaim the branded as of their own. The Hawks play a critical role in stopping the 100-year war which has ravaged the state of Midland and are initially welcomed as heroes, when Guts leaves the Hawks to seek out his own vision, but Griffith’s aspirations to rule his own kingdom are shattered. Not able to deal together with the loss, Griffith leads to the dungeon to get a year and seduces the King’s daughter Charlotte. From the time Guts helps the outlawed remnants of the Hawks and learns of this save him, Griffith left and has been terribly mutilated a mute shadow of his former self. Of understanding his body, the weight is too damaged for him to execute he inadvertently activates the behelit on his man and his wishes shows too much for Griffith. This brings the Hawks to a different airplane in the place where they fall upon archdemons known as the four God Hand in the service called the Eclipse. Urged on from the eldritch beings, Griffith gives his soldiers to the apostles–people like Zodd who lost mankind and their nearest and dearest for power of the God Hand –so he is able to end up being the closing member of the God Hand. Though he along with his lover Casca are saved from certain death by the mysterious Skull Knight labeled, Guts witnesses the savage slaughter of his comrades. Intestines loses an eye and an arm while Casca is driven mad after being raped by the reborn Griffith, now called Femto.
