Griffith is the primary adversary of the series. He established and commanded a notorious group called the Band of the Hawk, whose name stemmed from his distinctive helmet that resembled a hawk's head. Known for being highly charming, intelligent, and attractive, Griffith excelled in sword fighting and strategy, earning him and his team an unbeatable reputation. Due to their exceptional abilities, they were preferred by the King of Midland who was engaged in a protracted conflict with the Empire of Chuder.
Griffith is a very controversial character. He commits several heinous acts throughout the series, and whether he is an antagonist or deuteragonist afterwards is left very much to the reader's discretion, although series creator Kentaro Miura viewed him as the latter according to interviews. Following this, Griffith takes on a new persona, outwardly cold and logical, and completely untouchable to those who would harm his interests.
Whether that is all he is now is left mysterious, as apart from a phantom heartbeat, Griffiths character is just as emotionally distant to the viewer as he is to those in universe.
