The Skull Knight stands as one of Berserk's most enigmatic figures—a towering, fully-armored warrior whose skeleton-themed aesthetic (particularly his skull helmet) makes him instantly recognizable and deeply unsettling. He rides an ethereal black horse and carries himself with an air of grim purpose.
Despite his nightmarish appearance, he's actually opposed to the Godhand and actively hunts down Apostles, devouring their Behelits in the process. His vendetta against Zodd the Immortal is particularly notable; fans often note how effortlessly he tends to dominate their encounters.
What makes him truly formidable is his signature weapon: a blade that transforms into something far more otherworldly when he drives it down his own throat. This version becomes a reality-warping sword coated in Behelit material, capable of tearing dimensional rifts. It's how he moves freely across the world and slips between different dimensions—essentially giving him unparalleled mobility in ways most characters can't match.
