Maybe it's been Schnoz all along!

I have some light to shed on the question. I was able to get a sneak peek at an upcoming volume that is currently unavailable to most people. It had a lot about the Skull Knight, including this excerpt*:I wonder what he looks like if that helmet were to come off

Oburi said:Heh heh, A friend of mine brought that up recently, as a serious idea. I had to violently disprove him, though it was tough since SK can cut open space "and possibly time", adds my friend.
Jaze1618 said:Despite all the hints at Gaiseric throughout the series I always thought it would be cool if SK turned out to instead be Griffith from the future, and that somewhere down the line, things didn't work out so great for him as femto, and now he was back, trying to change the future repent for his misdeeds and perhaps find seek restitution for the wicked things he had done to the hawks.
Jaze1618 said:Of course nothing in the story ever remotely hinted that this was the case. But given the interview with Miura where he said IIRC berserk was going to have a happy ending
Doc said:For one, we all know a sage is a wiseman.
Doc said:Well, look at the size of Void's brainage. There's also the fact he appears as the de facto head of the God Hand, and controls the branding of sacrifices. It is also said that Gaiseric had the sage tortured: Void has his eyes sewn shut and his mouth peeled open, perhaps reflecting the tribulations of his former life.
Doc said:As posted earlier, the only snag is the timeline. However, Miura could easily handwave that and say the legend was obscured and really happened roughly 850 years ago.
Aazealh said:What about his extra fingers though? Those definitely aren't the result of torture. Speaking of which, Femto didn't keep any trace of the torture Griffith went through. Got his tongue back and all.
Aazealh said:Anyway, like you said, Miura could easily make sense of it all by shining more light on the issue, which I don't doubt he will do at some point.
Pretty ridiculous sounding if you think it through, though. So, you're saying that Void's transformation may have been unique -- that he could give himself massively long arms, a cool, evil-looking cape and a giant exposed brain, but COULDN'T for some strange reason change the composition of his face?Doc said:For what it's worth, perhaps Void's transformation was slightly different, if he was indeed the first God Hand. Pure hypothesis, of course.
Me too, but I don't expect it anytime soon. I think the mystery of 1,000 years ago won't be revealed until close to the end. Just a hunch I've had for several years. But, maybe now that the other shoe has dropped in the world, SK will be more willing to shed some light on these enigmatic mysteries.Doc said:I sure hope so! It's one of my most anticipated parts of BERSERK.

Walter said:"I'm sorry Brainy, since this is the first time Ive done this, we couldn't fix your face."
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO."
Yeah, and his eyes are sew weird looking.Henry Spencer said:I think it goes without saying that Void is the brains of the outfit.
Doc said:Two good points, and you know I can only answer with more questions. For what it's worth, perhaps Void's transformation was slightly different, if he was indeed the first God Hand. Pure hypothesis, of course.
Doc said:All depends on who and how Void was transformed. There's been talk of 'angels' who helped destroy Gaiseric, so perhaps they transformed Void in a way dissimilar to the rest of the God Hand -- once Void assumed command. Just an idea.
Judas Priestly said:If a GH can be reborn every 1000 years, then there had to be a rebirth prior to Void becoming a GH.
Judas Priestly said:Also there is the possibility that Void did exist as a GH before the time of Gaiseric, but for circumstances unknown, a new member of the GH never came to be.
Aazealh said:The tale doesn't say of the "angels" that they "helped" destroy Gaiseric, but that they destroyed his capital city (not helping anyone but being the main players). And please keep in mind it's just a tale and that it shouldn't be taken at face value.
Aazealh said:Anyway, the problem with what you're saying here is that it's completely groundless. Sure, maybe Void joined the God Hand through a unique process, unlike that of Femto. Maybe each member goes through his own specific process. But we don't know about that and nothing hints at it in the story. And it still wouldn't necessarily explain his physical appearance.
Doc said:Doesn't it say 'God' sent the angels?
Aazealh said:Yes. But it has no bearing on what I said.
Doc said:You said they never helped anyone, but it clearly says they were serving God.
Doc said:It's the same relationship.
Doc said:I think you're trying to be pedantic when there's really no need.
It's hardly pedantic. You changed the meaning of your statement midway through the argument. Here's what you said:Doc said:I think you're trying to be pedantic when there's really no need.
This is not the same thing as what you're purporting to say now:There's been talk of 'angels' who helped destroy Gaiseric,
There's been talk of 'angels' who helped [THE IDEA OF EVIL BY] destroy[ING] Gaiseric,
