Pippin

Pippin (ピピン, Pipin) is a secondary character in Berserk and a non-playable character in Berserk and the Band of the Hawk.

Formerly a coal miner, Pippin joins the Band of the Hawk and leads as one of its commanders. He and Guts are the power duo of the mercenary group; his differences from his counterpart are his unfailing reliability, controlled strikes, and staunch defense. Pippin also has a hyper-sensitive reflex for danger; the instant he feels something is afoot, he never fails to alert his comrades in a booming voice.

Pippin is a part of the Griffith rescue effort and saves the group from a female Kushan assassin. During the Eclipse, Pippin puts himself in harm's way to protect Judeau and Casca's flight. He is surrounded by a swarm of Apostles and fights to his last breath. Guts later sees Pippin standing on the horizon of the hellish landscape, thinking that he may have survived; his hopes are crushed when Pippin's hollowed corpse dangles from an Apostle's tentacle.

Personality
Pippin is a loyal giant who hardly speaks, opens his eyes, or displays emotion. Whenever a smile cracks on his lips, however, it's a rare treat that lightens everyone's hearts. His silent demeanor makes the times when he shouts all the more urgent. He is considerate to his comrades' needs and can be occasional peace-keeper in the group. Everyone in the Band of the Hawk likes Pippin for his gentle heart and dependability.
