Guts the Black Swordsman, whose callow beauty and serene manner belied his steely will and combat ability, was a top killer for Griffith's elite mercenary group, The Band of the Hawk, back in the day. While working for a king, Griffith becomes attracted to the monarch's daughter, and the king's developing fondness for the Hawk commander piques the envious brother's suspicions, leading him to plan Griffith's summary assassination. However, in the unlikely event that the scheme backfires, the king's brother will probably have to deal with Guts and his enormous broadsword, and these encounters seldom end well or leave much cleanup to do.
