Meeting Guts

Years later, the Band of the Falcon is contracted to defend a military garrison from a series of mercenary attacks. For three months, the mercenaries hold out in the fort, but with the defeat of Bazuso at the hands of a young mercenary named Guts and the subsequent blow to the garrison soldiers' morale, they relinquish control of the fort and abandon their post.

A day later, some band members spot Guts walking near their encampment and decide to pursue him in hopes of taking his reward. One after another, they fall victim to Guts' dominance. Eventually, Casca finds herself at the mercy of the mercenary. With his closest confidant in danger, Griffith arrives and intercepts Guts' attack with a spear. He attempts to reason with Guts, but to no avail, and so dismantles and incapacites the swordsman. With his interest piqued, Griffith has Guts taken to the mercenaries' encampment and orders Casca to lie with the injured mercenary to provide warmth. When Guts awakens, Griffith attempts to enlist him, an offer which Guts refuses. Guts proposes a duel: if Griffith can defeat him, he can claim ownership of the mercenary; if Griffith loses, he'll receive a wound similar to the one he dealt Guts days before. Griffith agrees and engages Guts in combat.[25] Eventually, Griffith dislocates Guts' arm and claims him as a member of his mercenary band.[36]

Later, during a night raid, Griffith orders Guts to lead the rear guard. Griffith raids the enemy forces, destroying their tents before reinforcements arrive. After regrouping, he learns Guts is still engaged with the enemy. Riding off to find him, Griffith, Judeau, and Pippin rescue Guts, driving the enemy into retreat. During their victory celebration, Griffith notices Guts sitting alone and smiles when Pippin drags Guts to join the festivities

The next day, Griffith calls for Guts while he is showering, and they engage in a water fight. Guts notices Griffith's necklace, and Griffith explains it is a beherit

A common-born child, Griffith was poverty-stricken, often unable to obtain even a slice of bread. In the cobblestone streets of alleyways, he played with other children, procuring junk trinkets and regarding them as small victories. However, Griffith's ambition was greater than that of the other children; in the afternoons, with the sunlight blocked by towering brothels and pubs, he would gaze up at a sun-coated castle. It was in these streets where Griffith set his mind on acquiring "that thing".He eventually received his Crimson Beherit from an old fortune teller, who foretold his conquest of the world

In his adolescence, he formed the Band of the Falcon, including the miner Pippin, former bandit Corkus, and tumbler Judeau. While still collecting war funds for his nascent group, Griffith came across a distressed 12-year-old Casca struggling to free herself from a lustful nobleman. He interrupted the confrontation and sliced the assailant's ear off, displeased with the nobleman's elitist entitlement. Rather than kill the attacker, he threw Casca his sword and instructed her to wield it if she had something to protect. After the nobleman dies by falling on the sword held by Casca, Griffith told Casca she was free to do as she pleased, and she promptly joined his ranks.

The Band of the Falcon's big break came when they were employed by the wealthy Tudor feudal lord Gennon. Realizing the perverted nobleman fancied him and posed a faster, safer route to funding an army, Griffith sold his body to Gennon in exchange for a substantial fortune to give his band members a better chance of survival.

Among the tens of thousands of allies and enemies Griffith encounters, Guts is the only one who stifles his ambition.Griffith explicitly cares for Guts, risking his life on several occasions to save him and losing his composure when Guts is endangered. After Guts' departure, Griffith is deeply shocked and abandons logical reasoning,bringing ruin to himself and the Band of the Falcon.During his year-long torture, the many emotions he harbors for Guts sustain him in the darkness of his solitary confinement.When he invokes the Eclipse and is presented with a reflection of his true self, he accepts the consequences of his ambition, in his last moments of humanity acknowledging Guts as the only person who ever made him forget his dream.

Griffith almost always carries himself in a well-mannered, exemplary fashion akin to nobility; his mannerisms and keen intellect often leave people astounded by his humble origins. Self-assuredly unique, Griffith's presence is undeniable. Those who meet him view him with either goodwill or animosity, with the former growing into trust or fellowship, and the latter into awe or dread. Those who follow Griffith are often overcome with emotions upon their first encounter, either entranced by the thought of splendor and grandeur at his side or drawn in by his strong ambition and conviction.Conversely, he can perceive subtle ill will from others and acts accordingly, not averse to using force. An understanding of human drives and unbridled ambition have enabled Griffith to ascend ever higher.Even as a child, Griffith's ambition was apparent. In the back alleys of his childhood city, he first sets his sights on acquiring his own kingdom. During the early years of the Band of the Falcon, he has a multi-faceted demeanor, sometimes appearing carefree and child-like, while other times showing ferocious killing intent. This juxtaposition attracts people from various walks of life to his mercenary band. As the Band of the Falcon's leader, Griffith shows noticeable compassion for his comrades, expressing regret over their deaths and even selling his body to ensure their survival.

The deaths of those fighting for his dream take a toll on Griffith. To cope and ensure their deaths are not in vain, he employs callous logic, prioritizing success over compassion — paradoxically showing compassion by suppressing it.He still questions his own immoral acts, at one point asking Guts if he is a cruel person. Despite his affection for his comrades, Griffith believes they are beneath him, considering them tools for achieving his dream, with none fitting his criteria of a friend.
