| - Rickert (リッケルト, Rikkeruto) is a secondary character in Berserk and a non-playable character in BERSERK and the Band of the Hawk. Rickert is a boy soldier and the youngest member of the Band of the Hawk who rivals Judeau's skill and ingenuity. He isn't fully aware of the drama that surrounds Guts's inclusion into their group, so Rickert warmly accepts him as one of their own. He stays with the Band of the Hawk after Griffith's imprisonment. Rickert has an injured arm before the others rescue Griffith, so he stays behind with the wounded in a separate unit. While he is spared from the Eclipse, the separate unit is still wiped out by Apostles, or demonic monstrosities which emerge as an effect of the Eclipse. Like Guts and Casca, he is saved by Skull Knight's intervention; they are the only surviving members of the Band of the Hawk. Rickert studies under the blacksmith Godo and helps look after Casca. To aid Guts's fight against the Apostles, Rickert designs and outfits his friend with bombs and the cannon for Guts's prosthetic arm. He also creates a memorial ground for his deceased comrades. When Rickert nears adulthood, his master dies; with Casca in Guts's care, Rickert decides to travel with his master's adopted daughter, Erica. It's only then that he learns the truth about the Eclipse and Griffith from Guts.
- Rickert (リッケルト Rikkeruto?) is the youngest member of the Band of the Hawk.
- Rickert is first seen assembling a crossbow near a tent while Corkus rambles to Pippin and him against Guts joining the Hawks. The nightly raid against an enemy army has Rickert almost killed by an enemy soldier while Guts easily kills the soldier and saves Rickert. During the party afterwards, he accompanies Judeau and Pippin to greet Guts, successfully integrating him into the Hawks. During the three years that pass, Rickert is shown to have grown slightly, though sobs with joy upon seeing Guts' return after the slaughter of a hundred men. He is among the celebrated heroes of the Battle of Doldrey, shown when several women fawn over his cuteness after Guts asks the other Hawk commanders to handle the women. After Griffith is captured and subjected to torture, Rickert is shown among the Hawks, wounded by an arrow, but otherwise alive, and escapes with the Hawks under Casca's leadership.
