History Characters / BerserkBandOfTheHawk

* TokenHuman: Aside from her Clairevoyant powers, Sonia is the most important human character in Griffith's organization.

He appears as a [[ProphetEyes blank-eyed]], DarkerAndEdgier version of RobinHood. His Apostle form is that of a shaggy, HellHound-like beast from the waist down while his upper body is similar to a [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent werewolf]]. His lower-body beast sports two long horns that he can use as a great bow, and his hair transforms into both bowstring and ammunition.

* HorrifyingTheHorror: Even Wyald is terrified of him. Wyald doesn’t even bother fighting back and instead resorts to begging Zodd not to kill him. [[YouHaveFailedMe This doesn’t work.]]

* HorrifyingTheHorror: Even Wyald is terrified of him. Wyald doesn’t even bother fighting back and instead resorts to begging Zodd not to kill him. [[YouHaveFaileddMe This doesn’t work.]]

* SoleSurvivor: Due to not being involved in the Eclipse but also [[spoiler: thanks to the Skull Knight's intervention at the wounded Hawks' camp who prevented the Count and Rosine from killing him along with his buddies.]]

* {{Bishonen}}: He's around Guts' age, but has a much lighter build and a feminine face, though not to the same degree as Griffith.

* {{Bishonen}}: By the time Guts comes back with Casca after the Conviction Arc, he's grown into a slim, beautiful teenager who's nonetheless getting stronger and on his way to manhood.

* {{Bishonen}}: As of the final battle against Ganishka, we can see why Sonia has the hots for him...

* {{Bishonen}}: Quite the good-looking pretty boy. When Captain Bonebeard gets him in his clutches in Vritannis, he remarks that he could sell Mule as a male SexSlave to some Kushan harem for a hefty price.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Only bothers wearing boots about half the time, while his feet go unshod for the other half. He even goes barefoot in the snow!

* DarkChick: Not much of a fighter, her role in the Neo-Hawks is more supportive than anything but still important enough to be kept around. And although she's not exactly "evil" in the strictest sense of the term, her morality is still dubious, if it's even there to begin with.

* AmbiguouslyBrown: His ethnicity is never mentioned, so fans speculate that he might be a mulatto or part-Native American. Which is funny, because Miura told Yukari Fujimoto that he based Pippin's appearance on himself, which would make him the only Japanese character in ''Berserk''.

[[folder:Volkov(Borkoff)]]

Grunbeld serves as the FinalBoss of the 2004 video game ''VideoGame/BerserkMillenniumFalconHenSeimaSenkiNoSho'', and is a boss in ''VideoGame/BerserkAndTheBandOfTheHawk''. He is also the main character of a light novel, ''LightNovel/BerserkTheFlameDragonKnight'', which tells his origin story and how he became an Apostle.

* AnimalMotifs: She likes comparing people to birds: she's a kite, Griffith's a hawk, Schierke's an [[TheOwlKnowingOne owl]] and Mule almost got his own species as well (a mallard) at one point. Other than that, Midlanders are ducks and [[DragonsAreDemonic Apostles are dragons]].

* HornedHumanoid: Possesses a great pair of bull's horns in his Apostle form, which despite his animal features has a humanoid upper body and posture.

* OffModel: Episodes 8 and 9 of the 1997 anime has him drawn more conventionally attractive than his canon appearance to the point it is easy to mistake him for a different character entirely. The latter installment also makes his skin darker than usual.

* OffModel: The size of his horns change between his first appearance and the scene where he bows down to Griffith, which is noticeable in that his remaining horn has a far wider diameter than the stump of his amputated one. The angle of his horns and the shape of his teeth also tend to vary. His eyes are colored white in one shot of the '97 anime (when Guts first charges him) as opposed to their usual red.

* MauveShirt: Gaston isn't part of the Hawks' FiveManBand of Commanders and is more of a common soldier. He puts in fewer appearances than the others, but often enough shows up during the group scenes to speak and be characterized a bit more than the other mercenaries.

* DeathBySex: Almost, although clearly played on this direction. [[spoiler:He dies in the Unnamed Female Apostle's embrace.]]

* ArmorPiercingSlap: [[spoiler:He gives one to reincarnated ''Griffith'' of all people, in front of all his cronies!]]

* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: See ArmorPiercingSlap. [[spoiler:He has the distinct honor of being the first person to ever strike a physical blow on [[HumanoidAbomination the reincarnated Griffith]] and tells him off in the process.]]

* ArcherArchetype: Good with crossbows, and especially with the repeating crossbow of his own making that he uses to defend the refugee caravan in chapter 332. He's not much of a swordfighter, at least not in the original manga, so he has to compensate.

* TheFaceless: His human face is not seen. His apostle form does, however.

* MinorMajorCharacter: While his face is not shown, he has no dialogue, and he is barely in the comic, he was the one that tore off Gut's arm.

* WeaponOfChoice: Knives, which shows off his dexterity. Throwing knives at range, and DualWielding great knives at close quarters.

* WeaponOfChoice: Hard-hitting weapons such as the battleaxe, mace, or war pick that let him take advantage of his strength.

* WeaponOfChoice: Good with crossbows, and especially with the repeating crossbow of his own making that he uses to defend the refugee caravan in chapter 332. He's not much of a swordfighter, at least not in the original manga, so he has to compensate.

* SinisterScimitar: His WeaponOfChoice when he isn't in Apostle form is a giant Kushan anti-cavalry sword. It's based on a type of Indian/Himalayan sacrificial sword called a ''ram dao''.

* WeaponOfChoice: Prefers great chopping weapons such as axes and scimitars, in keeping with his sinister nature and superhuman strength.

* WeaponOfChoice: Grunbeld's war hammer and cannon shield are weapons to fit his personality: the hammer represents his strength and has a head shaped like a dragon's horn or claw, while the cannon reflects his fire-breathing nature as a dragon.

* WeaponOfChoice: The longbow.

* WeaponOfChoice: In human form, he uses a KnightlyLance befitting his reputation as a knight errant. In Apostle form it turns into a DoubleWeapon.

* WeaponOfChoice: A single-handed sword, the [[HeroesPreferSwords weapon of a knight]].

* WeaponOfChoice: Hard-hitting weapons such as the [[AnAxeToGrind battleaxe]], mace, or war pick that let him take advantage of his strength.
