Casca (キャスカ, Kyasuka) is a key female protagonist in Berserk and a playable character in BERSERK and the Band of the Hawk. Complete "First Battle" in Story Mode to unlock her.

Born into poverty and sold during her childhood, she is saved from an abusive life by Griffith. She joins his mercenary unit, the Band of the Hawk, as its lone female member. She becomes a skillful swordswoman and leads her own command within the unit. When Griffith coerces Guts to join, she feels her position as the second most capable within the group is threatened and immediately antagonizes him.

After Guts leaves the Band of the Hawk and Griffith is imprisoned, Casca is the one to lead the remaining mercenaries to safety. She spends the next year keeping the band away from headhunters and planning for Griffith's rescue. Although she reconciles with Guts and wants to travel with him, she feels too sorry for the crippled Griffith to leave him. Her sympathy spurns Griffith, which helps contribute to him deciding to sacrifice the Band of the Hawk to the God Hand (the leading evil entities of the setting). During the Eclipse, Casca is branded to be food for the Apostles, or the demonic monstrosities of the setting, and raped by Femto.

She survives the ordeal, but she miscarries her child and her mind is shattered. Casca wanders aimlessly with childish dementia and a strong hatred for men. Casca is also completely defenseless to the Apostles still hunting her. She is only calmed in the company of women. One of Guts's current goals in the story is to restore her sanity.

Role in Game[]

If the player takes too long in their duel with Boscogn in Story Mode, the Band of the Hawk will struggle. Casca may be routed by Adon at Doldrey.
