Griffith (Japanese: グリフィス, Hepburn: Gurifisu) is a fictional character and the main antagonist of the manga series Berserk created by Kentaro Miura. Extraordinarily handsome, charismatic, and skilled, Griffith is the leader of the mercenary group the Band of the Hawk. After meeting Guts, Griffith defeats him in battle and forces him to join the Band of the Hawk as the latter proclaims he now "owns" him. The dynamic and turbulent relationship between Guts and Griffith forms the primary focus of the manga. During the Eclipse, to achieve his dream of obtaining a kingdom, he sacrifices the Band of the Hawk to become the new member of the God Hand and is rechristened as "the wings of darkness" Femto (Japanese: フェムト, Hepburn: Femuto).
