Changes: Ganishka

Revision as of 11:32, 13 June 2008

Emperor Ganishka is the head of the Kushan nation, a large nation-state most closely resembling real-world India. He is also an Apostle of the God Hand; however, he is the only known Apostle to fail to acknowledge Griffith / Femto's overlordship as the fifth God Hand and Prince of Demons. His army combines a large number of conventional forces with numerous supernatural creatures (Daka, Pishacha) and magic-users and is currently engaged in a protracted war with Midland and its allied nations under the authority of the Papacy.

He employed his dark magic via his mist, which he can transform into. In this form, he showed no visible weaknesses and was able to hurl lightning at his enemies. However, Schierke figured out a weak spot in Ganishka's mist form (right between the eyes), where the astral core body is that is vulnerable to weapons with strong spiritual presence, such as Guts' Dragonslayer (due to countless ghost slaughterings during Guts' last two years journey). Griffith exploited another weakness he had in his mist-like form, that of how his body can simply be scattered by the wind. He has turned Wyndham into his demonic capital base and aimed to take down the Holy See stronghold of Vritanis to the west, before agreeing to a draw with Griffith for a final battle in Wyndham.

After being defeated by Griffith, he returned to his capital to preform a ritual involving absorbing the strength and lives of everyone nearby in order to "Transcend the Apostles." He believed this is necessary to beat Griffith, and the process was described as "An artificial Behelit", meaning it can be used to reincarnate as a being superior to what it formerly was. His new form is a massive monster as high as the sky, with hundreds of tentacles called "Shiva".

Sonia called him the "King of the Crows".

The circumstances of Ganishka's transformation into an Apostle are unknown.
