Character from Berserk by Kentaro Miura
The legendary conqueror who unified Midland a thousand years ago — whose capital was destroyed by angels and whose fate became the longest-running mystery in Berserk.
Gaiseric is history's ghost in Berserk. A thousand years before the current story, he unified the warring peoples of the continent into the first great empire, building a capital city at the continent's center. Then five angels descended and destroyed everything — his city, his empire, his people. The official story says it was divine punishment for tyranny. The five 'angels' were almost certainly the God Hand. The skull-shaped armor matches the Skull Knight. The timing matches Void's ascension. Berserk never confirms the connection explicitly, but the implication is overwhelming: Gaiseric was to Void what Guts is to Griffith — a man who lost everything to a God Hand ceremony and refused to stop fighting.
Historical depictions show a powerful warrior-king in skull-shaped armor, wielding authority over warring city-states through sheer martial dominance. The skull motif is unmistakable.
