Band Of The Falcon's History
The Band of the Falcon was originally a very meager gathering of thieves all drawn to the charismatic, military genius Griffith.[10] Its first principal members included the former coal miner Pippin, a gifted circus performer-turned-soldier Judeau, the former thieves gang leader Corkus, and later, a village girl named Casca.[11] During their defense of a fortress, the band witnessed the defeat of Bazuso by a young swordsman named Guts; Griffith, impressed by the swordsman's triumph, decided to challenge him to a duel, defeating Guts and formally inducting him into the Band of the Falcon.[12] Guts was eventually promoted to the Falcon's Raiders Captain, a position he occupied for over three years, by which time the band became famed as "Grim Reapers of the Battlefield".
