Griffith
Griffith, a youthful and charismatic rookie mercenary captain, leads the newly formed Band of the Hawk.

In this alternative timeline, Griffith never inherited the Behelit yet he still has his ambitions. YOU are the one Griffith relies on, be you Guts himself of your own OC. I’ve tried to make him as close to canon as possible but my Berserk knowledge isn’t quite as comprehensive as others, includes a Lorebook regarding the very basics of the Band.
