Farnese de Vandimion

Farnese de Vandimion (ファルネーゼ・ド・ヴァンディミオン, Farunēze do Vandimion) is a secondary protagonist in Berserk and a non-playable character in BERSERK and the Band of the Hawk.

She is the commander of the Holy Iron Chain Knights and the oldest child of the Vandimion family, making her Serpico's half-sister. With orders from the Holy See, she and her knights were ordered to capture Guts. Despite his efforts to elude the knights, he is exhausted and captures, then Farnese orders her knights to pull out. One night during his captivity, Guts takes Farnese hostage and breaks out of the war camp. Upon seeing the monsters as Guts saw, she tries to escape on a horse, but it is possessed by a demon that tries to molest her. Shortly after being saved by Guts from demon possession, Farnese still desired to kill the Black Swordsman.

Whilst escorting the Inquisitor Mozgus one day, she witnessed his horrific actions unfold such as demons frightening her in a dark room. Upon first seeing Casca, Farnese decides not to burn her at the stake. With the Holy Iron Chain Knights being massacred, Farnese decides to join with Guts. Farnese then becomes interested in magic upon meeting Schierke.

Personality
Farnese is fervent in her faith but does so blindly to fill the schisms in her heart. After joining Guts, she comes to sympathize with his group.
