Character from Berserk by Kentaro Miura
The king who imprisoned Griffith and doomed his kingdom — a father consumed by jealousy and grief who descended from ruler to predator in his final years.
The King of Midland was once a capable ruler who prosecuted the Hundred-Year War with competence if not brilliance. Griffith's arrival changed everything — the king recognized Griffith's extraordinary nature and used the Band of the Hawk to win the war. But when Griffith seduced Princess Charlotte, the king's response revealed something terrible: his rage was not a father's protective fury. It was jealousy. He tortured Griffith for a year in the Tower of Rebirth with systematic cruelty. Then he attempted to sexually assault his own daughter. His descent from king to monster was complete before the Kushan invasion finished what his madness started. He died broken, his kingdom falling around him.
An aging monarch with the bearing of former authority in visible decay. In his later years: gaunt, paranoid, visibly unwell. His crown sat increasingly heavy on a head consumed by obsession.
