[b]Guts[/b] is the main protagonist of [[Berserk]].

Known as "the Black Swordsman", he is a former mercenary who was [[Brand of Sacrifice|branded for sacrifice]] by the God Hand, and now seeks revenge against [[Griffith (berserk)|]], who betrayed him and cost him almost everything that he held dear. Only his love for [[Casca (berserk)|]] keeps him from going completely insane and becoming a creature of rage and hatred.

Guts's primary weapon in his one-man war against the God Hand is a massive [[sword]] known as the [[Dragonslayer (sword)|Dragon Slayer]], though he's also been known to employ a repeating crossbow, a set of throwing knives, a set of bombs, and a powerful gunpowder cannon built into the prosthesis that replaces the left hand that he lost during the Eclipse. For protection, he wears a pitch black set of [[armor]] named the [[Berserker Armor]], which feeds upon the user's negative emotions to fuel their strength.
