Line 23:
*** Although it's later revealed he has a [[Freudian Excuse]]... a somewhat poor one in retrospect of his numerous actions.
** Wyald, one of the Apostles, is a nasty piece of work. He's the leader of the Black Dog Knights, a band of the worst criminal scum in Midland. He was originally hired by the King of Midland to fight during the One Hundred Years War, but was banished due to his crimes against civilians. After the Band of the Hawks rescue Griffith from Midland's dungeon, he is hired again to track them down. What establishes him as a [[Complete Monster]] is after finding a family that aided the Hawks, {{spoiler|he and his army proceed to rape, torture, and murder them. Then they dismember their bodies and put them on display for the Hawks to see.}} Eventually Wyald catches up to the Hawks after either losing his men to the Hawks' ambushes or disposing of them himself. He battles Guts and knocks him unconscious and tries to rape Casca when she tries to wake him up. Fortunately, Guts wakes up and mortally wounds him {{spoiler|and also cuts off his [[Gag Penis|squicky penis]] before he can do anything to Casca}}, but he returns and tries to get Griffith to use his Crimson Behelit by threatening to kill him. He is finally killed by Zodd who intervenes on behalf of the Godhand.
** The Beast of Darkness is Guts' [[Super-Powered Evil Side]], manifested as a terrifying wild [[Hell Hound]] monster, which craves murder and cruelty. It acted in concert with Guts back in his [[Sociopathic Hero|Black Swordsman]] days, but once Guts started to care about something more than [[Revenge]] against Griffith and killing Apostles, namely [[Morality Pet|Casca]], the Beast [[Enemy Within|took over his body]] and tried to force him to ''rape and eat her'', while giving him a [[Hannibal Lecture]] about how he secretly desires to be as bad as Femto. Guts was almost [[Forced to Watch]] the worst thing possible happen to the woman he loves {{spoiler|again}} by his own hands, unable to do anything, all because the Beast wants him for itself. This also ruined whatever emotional bond was beginning to reform between Guts and Casca.
** (As Femto, {{spoiler|Griffith}} is by far the worst one in the entire series, cruel even by Apostle standards. When he first appears in the third volume of the manga, he gives the Count the [[Sadistic Choice]] of sacrificing his own daughter or suffering in Hell for eternity. His very first act after being incarnated during the Eclipse is to {{spoiler|brutally rape Casca, right in front of Guts and only out of spite}}. And let's not forget how he {{spoiler|reincarnated himself as Griffith by causing the death of an infant. An infant he had turned into a hideous monster by means of the aforementioned rape.}} Oh, and he recently topped himself by {{spoiler|using the Skull Knight's dimension-warping attack to fuse the mortal and supernatural realms together, unleashing HELL ON EARTH}}.
