Wyald in apostle form
Wyald was a criminal, rapist, leader, and most importantly an Apostle. His ape-like face and sadistic attitude made him more monstrous than human.
Abilities
- Wyald has an unbelievable amount of strength, as he was capable of crushing one of his men's skulls with only two fingers, punched a falling boulder into pieces, stopped Guts' sword with his teeth, and ripped a tree apart with his hands.
- He also has lightning reflexes, being able to parry/block all of Guts' attacks with ease.
Past
During the One Hundred Years War, the King of Midland wanted to enlist a new army made up of criminals, thieves, rapists, and others. When he couldn't make a decision for a leader, he asked for the criminals opinion. Out of many, Wyald came out and suggested to fight the "prisoner's way", where the strongest man wins. The King allowed it, and Wyald quickly won the duel bare-handed with his arms still locked. Soon after, Wyald formed the notorious Black Dog Knights, a band of criminals and rapists. Although their armies are second-best compared to the Band of the Hawks, they are motivated by fear to fight ruthlessly, and their atrocities against civilians resulted in their banishment to a remote region of Midland.
Death
After the Bakiraka's failure, the brutal strength of Wyald was the last weapon for the King to send after Griffith and the Hawks. During their pursuit, Wyald and his men were ambushed by the Band of the Hawks multiple times, leading most of them to pointless death. Wyald failed to defeat Guts in his human form and turned to his Apostle form, a gigantic ape. He senselessly obliterated his own army when they retreated in fear. A battle took place between him and Guts, who was unconscious after taking a powerful blow.
As Casca tried to awake Guts, Wyald grabbed her, stripped her, and nearly raped her until Guts cut him. Both dueled until Guts used a double diversion attack and stabbed Wyald's face multiple times. He was mortally wounded and thought to be dead, but he soon attacked the Band of the Hawk again. Desperate, he attacked Griffith, hoping to provoke him to use the Crimson Behelit to call the God Hand, but Griffith had lost it in the Tower of Rebirth. Zodd promptly then arrived on the scene to stop Wyald. Wyald, acting erratic pleaded ignorance to what rules he had broken, to which Zodd ignored his pleas of mercy. When he threatened Griffith's life, Zodd intervened to protect the interests of the God Hand and ripped Wyald in half, killing him instantly.
After his death, Guts and the others find that after turning back into a human, Wyald was revealed to be, ironically, an old man.
