Their reputed strength catches the King of Midland's notice, who enlists them in Midland's Hundred Year War against the empire of Chuder, in which the band ultimately succeeds in reclaiming the fortress of Doldrey for Midland and brings an end to the century-long conflict. Guts is eventually promoted to the band raiders (a unit assigned to carry out more demanding and riskier tasks) captain, a position he occupies for over three years, by which time the band becomes famed as "Grim Reapers of the Battlefield". Its first principal members include 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.ĭuring their defense of a fortress (which they lost), the band witnesses the defeat of Bazuso by a young but formidable swordsman named Guts Griffith, impressed by Guts' triumph, decides to challenge him to a duel, defeating Guts and formally inducting him into the Band of the Falcon. The Band of the Falcon is originally a very meager gathering of ragtag bandits all drawn to the charismatic, military genius Griffith.
