* DeliberateValuesDissonance: Foss appears to honestly believe that it would be bad for the country if commoners were allowed to rule. He himself appears to be of no more than low nobility and possibly completely common (he is always referred to as "minister," never "lord" or any other title), and he never attempts to climb the social ladder, merely to keep Griffith from doing so. And when Midland is invaded by the Kushan, he puts himself at considerable personal risk to resist them rather than fleeing or collaborating. He may be loyal to what a democratically-minded modern audience would consider a corrupt system, but he's a true patriot, not a hypocrite.

-> ''"Stand against me! We're gonna have FUN!!!"''
Sent by the King of Midland after the Hawks after the [[QuirkyMinibossSquad Bakirakas']] failure at preventing Griffith's escape, this grotesque Apostle looks like a humanized ape. Not much is known about him except that he is the leader of the Black Dog Knights, the most savage and brutal force in Midland. They consist of murderers and rapists who have been banished from the land but spared on the condition that they fight for Midland's King.
Perverted, [[TheHedonist hedonistic]], [[StupidEvil evil to the point of stupidity]] and a bit of a LeeroyJenkins, his motto is "Excitement and Enjoyment". He rules over his troops through terror, threatening to kill anyone who doesn't charge blindly into the battle just like he does, regardless of the danger. Believing himself invincible, he is extremely surprised to find his match in Guts and the Band of the Hawk.
His Apostle form is that of an enormous three-eyed ape monster with a second large mouth at the level of his shoulders. [[spoiler: Ironically, his human form is that of a frail old man, as shown after Zodd comes personally to rip him in half in order to stop him from interfering with the imminence of the Eclipse.]]

-> ''"Stand against me! We're gonna have FUN!!!"''
Sent by the King of Midland after the Hawks after the [[QuirkyMinibossSquad Bakirakas']] failure at preventing Griffith's escape, this grotesque Apostle looks like a humanized ape. Not much is known about him except that he is the leader of the Black Dog Knights, the most savage and brutal force in Midland. They consist of murderers and rapists who
Perverted, [[TheHedonist hedonistic]], [[StupidEvil evil to the point of stupidity]] and a bit of a LeeroyJenkins, his motto is "Excitement and Enjoyment". He rules over his troops through terror, threatening to kill anyone who doesn't charge blindly into the battle just like he does, regardless of the danger. Believing himself invincible, he is extremely surprised to find his match in Guts and the Band of the Hawk.
His Apostle form is that of an enormous three-eyed ape monster with a second large mouth at the level of his shoulders. [[spoiler: Ironically, his human form is that of a frail old man, as shown after Zodd comes personally to rip him in half in order to stop him from interfering with the imminence of the Eclipse.]]

-> ''(To Griffith) "Together..Forever!"''
The heiress to the throne of Midland is a PrincessClassic example. Not a fighter at all, [[NaiveEverygirl meek, cute and rather capricious]], she immediately falls in love with Griffith [[LoveAtFirstSight upon meeting him]]. She is the one who helped the Hawks enter Midland's castle so they could free Griffith. She got captured and almost raped by Ganishka not long after her father's demise.
Upon his reincarnation, freeing her from Ganishka's grasp was one of Griffith's priorities, and during her captivity she would make embroideries of Griffith. Since she is the [[LastOfHisKind last pure royal of Midland]], Griffith's plan is to marry her so he can access the throne legally.
----
* ActionDressRip: A variation. As it says above, she's no ActionGirl. But when she tagged along Guts and Co in the Griffith retrieval arc, she did rip off her dress so as to run and move more easily.
* ActionSurvivor: Subverted. Even though she [[TakingTheBullet did shield Griffith from a poison dart]] and easily could have died during the encounter with the Bakirakas, she didn't survive because of any ability or luck she could have had back then. She was spared (along with her servant) only because she's [[ThePresidentsDaughter the king's daughter]].
* AttemptedRape: Between [[spoiler:her dad]] and Ganishka... ouch.
* BadassDamsel: Has shades of this.
* BadassPrincess: Shows shades of this during the Griffith rescue operation, as she had no problem with [[ActionDressRip ripping her dress]] and getting a little dirty and was even prepared to give up a life of luxury in order to be with Griffith on the lam. [[TakingTheBullet And she took a poison dart for him.]] [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome That took some balls, girl.]]
* BewareTheNiceOnes: You know, for as much as some people complain she's a doormat, it's worth pointing out that she's one of the very few female characters who've unequivocally ''fought off'' someone who tried to attack them sexually, to the point where [[spoiler:she completely ''wrecked'' [[http://read.mangashare.com/Berserk/chapter-056/page008.html her dad's face]] ''with nothing but her bare hands and feet''. Granted her dad isn't quite of the same caliber as some of the other perverted monsters which populate this story, but still.]]
* DaddysGirl: Subverted. While the king is quite fond of his daughter [[spoiler: though it's debatable if his affection toward her was always [[ParentalIncest a platonic father-daughter relationship]]]], Charlotte's relationship to her father prior to Griffith's downfall was never really touched upon. This definitely went to hell after [[spoiler: the king tried to rape her]].
* DarkMistress: Rather than a LadyMacBeth, mostly because she has no clue about Griffith's ''real'' nature and is a rather sweet girl otherwise.
* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: Somewhat subverted. Due to her role as Griffith's LoveInterest / MealTicket, it is unlikely that she will have a positive impact on the story.
* FragileFlower
* FriendlessBackground: It's implied that Charlotte never really had any friends. Anna, her maid, is likely her OnlyFriend.
* GirlInTheTower: Where Ganishka held Charlotte captive after he took over Wyndam.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Towards Griffith. Oh, ''if only'' she knew...
* JailBait: Most literal example ever? [[spoiler: Keep in mind that she was sixteen or seventeen when Griffith deflowered her.]]
* [[ThePresidentsDaughter The King's Daughter]]
* LadyAndKnight: She and Griffith are a zigzagged example. Charlotte fits the bright lady character type and Griffith acts as the knight who (literally) looks bright, but has dark intentions.
* TheLadysFavour: She gives Griffith a magnetic doll that belongs in a set with a lady and a knight that [[MementoMacGuffin once belonged to her mother]], hoping that Griffith would take it with him into battle. Griffith said that he couldn't take such a valuable item... so he swears to return it to her.
* LastOfHerKind
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: For her father. [[spoiler:[[SanitySlippage Things went very bad for the king's mind]] after their relationship was destroyed beyond repair.]]
* LonelyRichKid
* LoveAtFirstSight: She immediately fell for Griffith upon seeing him.
* MealTicket: As far as the story would go, Griffith isn't interested in her for something else than her birthright.
* NaiveEverygirl
* NeverASelfMadeWoman: Take away her birthright and Griffith and she's nothing.
* OverlyLongName: Charlotte Beatrix Marie Rhody Wyndham. Yeahhhhh. We're going to just keep calling her "Princess Charlotte".
* ParentalNeglect: Not only [[spoiler:her father the king lusts after her]], her stepmother the Queen completely ignores her.
* PrincessClassic: REALLY classical example.
** Consequently her outfits qualify for the following tropes: ErmineCapeEffect, PrincessesPreferPink, PrettyInMink and PimpedOutDress.
* PuttingAHandOverHerMouth: Played for laughs during her uncharacteristic temper tantrum during the Griffith rescue. ''Everyone present'' excluding Pippin partake in this. Guts suggested that they [[BoundAndGagged gag her.]]
* SatelliteLoveInterest: Her only actual role in the series is being Griffith's LoveInterest / MealTicket. She pretty much thinks about nothing else than Griffith and how happy she is when she is around him...
* ShrinkingViolet: We were first introduced to Charlotte when - [[SelfDemonstratingArticle hey, where is she?]] Oh, there she is: hiding behind that pillar. Anyway, this princess might have all of the riches in the world, but one thing that she doesn't appear to have is a lot of [[NoSocialSkills social experience.]] {{Squick}}ily justified in that her father kept her close to home, commenting that big men and soldiers [[FragileFlower frighten her]] and even she said that she didn't like going to balls and other aristocratic gatherings much. Charlotte did seem to be coming out of her shell when she started interacting with Griffith, however.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: {{Deconstructed}} with her relationship with Griffith. She sees him as a formidable gentleman, but his true self is far from that.
* SmittenTeenageGirl: Towards Griffith.
* SpoiledSweet: Being the princess and sole heir of an entire kingdom, Charlotte has the finer luxuries in life. Though she might be naive about the world due to her sheltered life of royalty, she is one of the few genuinely nice aristocrats presented in the series and has a sweet and kind personality. Casca even admitted to herself that [[WhyCantIHateYou she felt bad for]] [[GreenEyedMonster getting jealous]] over Charlotte because of [[MealTicket her relationship with Griffith]] since Charlotte treated her with kindness despite her being a commoner AND a warrioress.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: To her mother, [[spoiler:which is the source of her father's lust]].
* TakingTheBullet: During Griffith's rescue, one of the Bakiraka shot a poisoned dart aimed at Griffith, but Charlotte takes the dart. Luckily, since she was the princess (and they were sent by the King to kill Griffith), the Bakiraka allowed her to go in order to get treated.
* TheUglyGuysHotDaughter
* TheWomanWearingTheQueenlyMask: Being the sole heiress to the throne of Midland, she becomes the ''de facto'' queen of Midland but she's really not comfortable in this role and mostly relies on Griffith to give her strength. Not to mention, Falconia will be ruled by Griffith himself, not by her.

The king of Midland and Charlotte's father.
----
* AbusiveDad: [[spoiler:He eventually tries to rape Charlotte.]]
* BerserkButton: [[IncrediblyLamePun You remember this series' title.]] The king may not be the biggest baddass here, but don't touch his little girl. No, seriously. He'll go apeshit on you.
* BewareTheNiceOnes
* TheCaligula: After his mind cracks, he devotes all of the kingdom's resources into searching for Griffith to the expense of everything else, ultimately leaving Midland vulnerable to the Kushan Empire.
* DisproportionateRetribution: As punishment for having sex with his daughter, the king had Griffith imprisoned in the lowest dungeon in Midland, sentenced to three years of torture, and branded all of the Hawks as criminals.
* [[spoiler:DyingAlone]]
* EtTuBrute: Calls out Griffith for "betraying" him despite the king's always good treatment of the Band of the Hawk.
* FisherKing: While the Kingdom of Midland wasn't perfect, Wyndam was a pretty nice place to be, and all in all, the King was a pretty okay guy. Then Griffith became public enemy #1 in the King's eyes, and everything went downhill for the kingdom from there. By the time [[spoiler: [[KingOnHisDeathBed the King is on his death bed]]]], being driven to madness, pestilence, plague, and death has taken over the kingdom.
* GoMadFromTheRevelation: Of Grittith and Charlotte's affair. While Griffith had to ''tell'' the king [[spoiler:that he's lusting after his own daughter]], the moment the old man realized that's true, hell went loose.
* TheGoodKing: He starts out like this very much... and then things just went south.
* HowTheMightyHaveFallen: He shoves this into Griffith's face at the beginning of his imprisonment.... and then [[{{Irony}} the same begins to happen to him at the same instance]], [[IShallTauntYou thanks to Griffith.]]
* [[spoiler:KingOnHisDeathBed]]: [[spoiler:As he lay dying in his bed, the rest of the Midland court was in turmoil about how Charlotte could handle her succession - and the matter of an invasion looming due to Midland's collapsed state.]]
* KnightTemplarParent / OverprotectiveDad: Pretty much threw the efforts of a century long war away and ruined his own kingdom just to get back at Griffith for deflowering Charlotte.
* LonelyAtTheTop: Described how being the king of a nation was a lonely existence.
* PapaWolf: Likes to think of himself as this, but the true reason for his violent protectiveness is much squickier.
* [[spoiler:ParentalIncest: The poor Charlotte barely escaped her father's lewd intentions.]]
* ThePromise: To Charlotte, of not chasing Griffith anymore. He didn't keep it.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Able to acknowledge Griffith and the Band Of The Hawk's achievements for his country and willing to grant them titles for it despite the corrupt aristocracy not making it easier.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: What that relationship changed into when Griffith went too far.
* SanitySlippage
* [[spoiler: UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: His [[DisproportionateRetribution actions against Griffith and the Hawks]] eventually kick-starts the Eclipse and Femto's Rise into the Godhand.]]
* [[spoiler: WifeHusbandry]]: He remarked about how much Charlotte began looking like his beloved deceased wife, and then Griffith clued in that he probably kept Charlotte at home and didn't arrange her to be married to a principality of the Tudor Empire for a reason...

!!Minister Foss
!!! Voiced by: Mahito Tsujimura (Japanese), Greg Miller (English)
A conniving Midland noble, he opposes Griffith despite the advances he makes in the country’s war effort. Foss plots and schemes to have Griffith killed, but it always seems like one thing or another foils them.
----
* AffablyEvil: Well, evil may be too strong a word, but he ''is'' a scheming politician willing to murder or make others do his bidding to get what he wants. And he’s very polite and civil in all of his dealings.
* AristocratsAreEvil
* BaldOfEvil
* DefeatEqualsFriendship: Griffith invokes this after [[{{Outgambitted}} outgambitting]] him. [[spoiler:When they see each other again for the first time after the Eclipse, Foss kneels down before him in reverence.]]
* HeelFaceTurn: Kind of. Since getting beaten at his own game by Griffith, Foss more or less retired from politics. [[spoiler:When Kushan invaded the country, he led a small group of survivors.]]
* [[spoiler:LaResistance: Was the leader of one when the Kushan overran Windham. But it’s a resistance in name only, all he’s really capable of doing is keeping the few survivors he’s gathered hidden and alive.]]
* ManipulativeBastard: He manipulates Julius into assassinating Griffith to ensure no evidence can be pinned on him.
* MoralityPet: His daughter.
* {{Outgambitted}}: Griffith suspected Foss was plotting against him, and pulled off his own {{plan}} to get him under control.
* SmugSnake: Tried killing Griffith twice. Not only do both attempts fail, but the aftermath of both worked in Griffith’s favor.
* VillainousBreakdown: When he finds out Griffith kidnapped his daughter, Foss loses his cool completely.

!!Princess Charlotte

-> ''(To Griffith) "Together..Forever!"''
The heiress to the throne of Midland is a PrincessClassic example. Not a fighter at all, [[NaiveEverygirl meek, cute and rather capricious]], she immediately falls in love with Griffith [[LoveAtFirstSight upon meeting him]]. She is the one who helped the Hawks enter Midland's castle so they could free Griffith. She got captured and almost raped by Ganishka not long after her father's demise.
Upon his reincarnation, freeing her from Ganishka's grasp was one of Griffith's priorities, and during her captivity she would make embroideries of Griffith. Since she is the [[LastOfHisKind last pure royal of Midland]], Griffith's plan is to marry her so he can access the throne legally.
----
* ActionDressRip: A variation. As it says above, she's no ActionGirl. But when she tagged along Guts and Co in the Griffith retrieval arc, she did rip off her dress so as to run and move more easily.
* ActionSurvivor: Subverted. Even though she [[TakingTheBullet did shield Griffith from a poison dart]] and easily could have died during the encounter with the Bakirakas, she didn't survive because of any ability or luck she could have had back then. She was spared (along with her servant) only because she's [[ThePresidentsDaughter the king's daughter]].
* AttemptedRape: Between [[spoiler:her dad]] and Ganishka... ouch.
* BadassDamsel: Has shades of this.
* BadassPrincess: Shows shades of this during the Griffith rescue operation, as she had no problem with [[ActionDressRip ripping her dress]] and getting a little dirty and was even prepared to give up a life of luxury in order to be with Griffith on the lam. [[TakingTheBullet And she took a poison dart for him.]] [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome That took some balls, girl.]]
* BewareTheNiceOnes: You know, for as much as some people complain she's a doormat, it's worth pointing out that she's one of the very few female characters who've unequivocally ''fought off'' someone who tried to attack them sexually, to the point where [[spoiler:she completely ''wrecked'' [[http://read.mangashare.com/Berserk/chapter-056/page008.html her dad's face]] ''with nothing but her bare hands and feet''. Granted her dad isn't quite of the same caliber as some of the other perverted monsters which populate this story, but still.]]
* DaddysGirl: Subverted. While the king is quite fond of his daughter [[spoiler: though it's debatable if his affection toward her was always [[ParentalIncest a platonic father-daughter relationship]]]], Charlotte's relationship to her father prior to Griffith's downfall was never really touched upon. This definitely went to hell after [[spoiler: the king tried to rape her]].
* DarkMistress: Rather than a LadyMacBeth, mostly because she has no clue about Griffith's ''real'' nature and is a rather sweet girl otherwise.
* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: Somewhat subverted. Due to her role as Griffith's LoveInterest / MealTicket, it is unlikely that she will have a positive impact on the story.
* FragileFlower
* FriendlessBackground: It's implied that Charlotte never really had any friends. Anna, her maid, is likely her OnlyFriend.
* GirlInTheTower: Where Ganishka held Charlotte captive after he took over Wyndam.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Towards Griffith. Oh, ''if only'' she knew...
* JailBait: Most literal example ever? [[spoiler: Keep in mind that she was sixteen or seventeen when Griffith deflowered her.]]
* [[ThePresidentsDaughter The King's Daughter]]
* LadyAndKnight: She and Griffith are a zigzagged example. Charlotte fits the bright lady character type and Griffith acts as the knight who (literally) looks bright, but has dark intentions.
* TheLadysFavour: She gives Griffith a magnetic doll that belongs in a set with a lady and a knight that [[MementoMacGuffin once belonged to her mother]], hoping that Griffith would take it with him into battle. Griffith said that he couldn't take such a valuable item... so he swears to return it to her.
* LastOfHerKind
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: For her father. [[spoiler:[[SanitySlippage Things went very bad for the king's mind]] after their relationship was destroyed beyond repair.]]
* LonelyRichKid
* LoveAtFirstSight: She immediately fell for Griffith upon seeing him.
* MealTicket: As far as the story would go, Griffith isn't interested in her for something else than her birthright.
* NaiveEverygirl
* NeverASelfMadeWoman: Take away her birthright and Griffith and she's nothing.
* OverlyLongName: Charlotte Beatrix Marie Rhody Wyndham. Yeahhhhh. We're going to just keep calling her "Princess Charlotte".
* ParentalNeglect: Not only [[spoiler:her father the king lusts after her]], her stepmother the Queen completely ignores her.
* PrincessClassic: REALLY classical example.
** Consequently her outfits qualify for the following tropes: ErmineCapeEffect, PrincessesPreferPink, PrettyInMink and PimpedOutDress.
* PuttingAHandOverHerMouth: Played for laughs during her uncharacteristic temper tantrum during the Griffith rescue. ''Everyone present'' excluding Pippin partake in this. Guts suggested that they [[BoundAndGagged gag her.]]
* SatelliteLoveInterest: Her only actual role in the series is being Griffith's LoveInterest / MealTicket. She pretty much thinks about nothing else than Griffith and how happy she is when she is around him...
* ShrinkingViolet: We were first introduced to Charlotte when - [[SelfDemonstratingArticle hey, where is she?]] Oh, there she is: hiding behind that pillar. Anyway, this princess might have all of the riches in the world, but one thing that she doesn't appear to have is a lot of [[NoSocialSkills social experience.]] {{Squick}}ily justified in that her father kept her close to home, commenting that big men and soldiers [[FragileFlower frighten her]] and even she said that she didn't like going to balls and other aristocratic gatherings much. Charlotte did seem to be coming out of her shell when she started interacting with Griffith, however.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: {{Deconstructed}} with her relationship with Griffith. She sees him as a formidable gentleman, but his true self is far from that.
* SmittenTeenageGirl: Towards Griffith.
* SpoiledSweet: Being the princess and sole heir of an entire kingdom, Charlotte has the finer luxuries in life. Though she might be naive about the world due to her sheltered life of royalty, she is one of the few genuinely nice aristocrats presented in the series and has a sweet and kind personality. Casca even admitted to herself that [[WhyCantIHateYou she felt bad for]] [[GreenEyedMonster getting jealous]] over Charlotte because of [[MealTicket her relationship with Griffith]] since Charlotte treated her with kindness despite her being a commoner AND a warrioress.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: To her mother, [[spoiler:which is the source of her father's lust]].
* TakingTheBullet: During Griffith's rescue, one of the Bakiraka shot a poisoned dart aimed at Griffith, but Charlotte takes the dart. Luckily, since she was the princess (and they were sent by the King to kill Griffith), the Bakiraka allowed her to go in order to get treated.
* TheUglyGuysHotDaughter
* TheWomanWearingTheQueenlyMask: Being the sole heiress to the throne of Midland, she becomes the ''de facto'' queen of Midland but she's really not comfortable in this role and mostly relies on Griffith to give her strength. Not to mention, Falconia will be ruled by Griffith himself, not by her.

-> ''"Charlotte..."''
The king of Midland and Charlotte's father.
----
* AbusiveDad: [[spoiler:He eventually tries to rape Charlotte.]]
* BerserkButton: [[IncrediblyLamePun You remember this series' title.]] The king may not be the biggest baddass here, but don't touch his little girl. No, seriously. He'll go apeshit on you.
* BewareTheNiceOnes
* TheCaligula: After his mind cracks, he devotes all of the kingdom's resources into searching for Griffith to the expense of everything else, ultimately leaving Midland vulnerable to the Kushan Empire.
* DisproportionateRetribution: As punishment for having sex with his daughter, the king had Griffith imprisoned in the lowest dungeon in Midland, sentenced to three years of torture, and branded all of the Hawks as criminals.
* [[spoiler:DyingAlone]]
* EtTuBrute: Calls out Griffith for "betraying" him despite the king's always good treatment of the Band of the Hawk.
* FisherKing: While the Kingdom of Midland wasn't perfect, Wyndam was a pretty nice place to be, and all in all, the King was a pretty okay guy. Then Griffith became public enemy #1 in the King's eyes, and everything went downhill for the kingdom from there. By the time [[spoiler: [[KingOnHisDeathBed the King is on his death bed]]]], being driven to madness, pestilence, plague, and death has taken over the kingdom.
* GoMadFromTheRevelation: Of Grittith and Charlotte's affair. While Griffith had to ''tell'' the king [[spoiler:that he's lusting after his own daughter]], the moment the old man realized that's true, hell went loose.
* TheGoodKing: He starts out like this very much... and then things just went south.
* HowTheMightyHaveFallen: He shoves this into Griffith's face at the beginning of his imprisonment.... and then [[{{Irony}} the same begins to happen to him at the same instance]], [[IShallTauntYou thanks to Griffith.]]
* [[spoiler:KingOnHisDeathBed]]: [[spoiler:As he lay dying in his bed, the rest of the Midland court was in turmoil about how Charlotte could handle her succession - and the matter of an invasion looming due to Midland's collapsed state.]]
* KnightTemplarParent / OverprotectiveDad: Pretty much threw the efforts of a century long war away and ruined his own kingdom just to get back at Griffith for deflowering Charlotte.
* LonelyAtTheTop: Described how being the king of a nation was a lonely existence.
* PapaWolf: Likes to think of himself as this, but the true reason for his violent protectiveness is much squickier.
* [[spoiler:ParentalIncest: The poor Charlotte barely escaped her father's lewd intentions.]]
* ThePromise: To Charlotte, of not chasing Griffith anymore. He didn't keep it.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Able to acknowledge Griffith and the Band Of The Hawk's achievements for his country and willing to grant them titles for it despite the corrupt aristocracy not making it easier.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: What that relationship changed into when Griffith went too far.
* SanitySlippage
* [[spoiler: UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: His [[DisproportionateRetribution actions against Griffith and the Hawks]] eventually kick-starts the Eclipse and Femto's Rise into the Godhand.]]
* [[spoiler: WifeHusbandry]]: He remarked about how much Charlotte began looking like his beloved deceased wife, and then Griffith clued in that he probably kept Charlotte at home and didn't arrange her to be married to a principality of the Tudor Empire for a reason...
* {{Yandere}}: For [[spoiler:his daughter]]. Oh ''God''. Beats even Griffith effortlessly.
* YouHaveFailedMe: To the Baakiraka woman, after the squad didn't capture Griffith.
** Although it may be that the main reason he killed her was because [[PapaWolf she almost killed Charlotte by accident.]]
