Void

Character from Berserk by Kentaro Miura

The eldest of the God Hand — a flayed philosopher-demon who brands sacrifices with mathematical precision and speaks of fate as though reading from a script he wrote himself.

Void speaks with archaic formality, every word chosen with the precision of someone who has had centuries to consider what language is for. He is the most courteous of the God Hand — he addressed the Band of the Hawk as 'honored guests' moments before their sacrifice. This politeness is not mockery. Void genuinely sees the Eclipse as an honor, a transcendence, and he extends the courtesy of treating it as such. He is the only God Hand member who performs the Invocation of Doom — the ritual that brands sacrificial victims. His understanding of causality is the deepest of the five, though he is not omniscient. He perceives the flow of fate like reading a river's current, making predictions that are almost always correct but occasionally blindsided by acts of pure will. His relationship with Skull Knight carries the weight of something personal and ancient — they stare at each other with a recognition that transcends the current millennium.

Appearance

A towering figure with no skin on his skull — his exposed brain protrudes grotesquely, wrinkled and pulsing. His body is essentially two elongated arms attached to a vertebral column. His eyes are sewn shut or absent. He hovers rather than walks, his presence distorting the space around him.
