 F+ATI Casca
Former unit commander
of the Band of the
Hawk—mentally
regressed from her
experience in the
Eclipse. She now neither
speaks nor conveys any
feelings. Her Brand,
which reacts to evil, is
thinly shielded by
Flora’s talisman.

Former commander of the Holy _

See's Holy Iron Chain Knights, and
daughter of the Vandimion family,
_ one of influential status and
wealth in the religious sphere.
She seeks to learn from Guts her
own means of survival and about
the reality of the world.

The Black Swordsman. He exists in

the Interstice, wears the Berserker
armor, and his soul constantly torn
between protecting Casca and
challenging Griffith. That struggle
is nothing short of sublime.

Attendant of Farnese, and actually
her brother; however, she is not
aware of the blood relationship. He
is skilled in fighting and is currently
clad in a fetish granted the
protection of wind elementals.

| Guts and the others
through her use of
magic; however among
her spells are some
beyond her mastery,
which occasionally place
her in great peril as she
tries to aid her allies.
_ She has a stilted side to
her personality.

QV I4A Griftith
Through the Eclipse of the Crimson Behelit, he was reborn as
Femto of the Godhand. Later he was incarnated in the imitation
Eclipse catalyzed by the egg-shaped apostie, thus returning to
the physical world, in which he became the “absolute,” without
equal. He leads the reborn Band of the Hawk.

Nosferatu Zodd, the apostle with two

names. He was unrivaled in his thirst for
battle against the strong. But, defeated
by Griffith, he is now part of the new
Band of the Hawk.

This is the
STOP back of the book!
This manga collection is translated into English but oriented in right-
to-left reading format at the creator's request, maintaining the
artwork’s visual orientation as originally published in Japan. If you've
never read manga in this way before, take a look at the diagram
below to give yourself an idea of how to go about it. Basically, you'll
be starting in the upper right corner and will read each balloon and
panel moving right to left. It may take some getting used to, but
you should get the hang of it very quickly. Have fun!
