Summary
Griffith is originally the founding leader of the Band of the Hawk who offered his services to Midland's war against the kingdom of Chuder while orchestrating his plan to subtly obtain the throne. But a chain of events result with Griffith imprisoned in the Tower of Rebirth and he is reduced to a crippled shell of his former self by the time he is saved. But Griffith learns that he is predestined to become the final God Hand member, offering the lives of his own men during the Eclipse ritual to transcend his humanity and be reborn as Femto. He regains his corporeal form three years later, having learned his significance in the Idea of Evil's plan, Griffith recruits a new Band of the Hawk to fulfill his dream of a kingdom of his own. Ultimately, Griffith establishes the city of Falconia where he rules humanity after the World Transformation event.

Powers and Abilities:
Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Weapon Mastery, Martial Arts (Could dislocate Guts' arm in their first battle and force him into submissive position), Acrobatics (Easily countered Guts' attack by jumping on his sword), Social Influencing (His charisma is nearly irresistible by many, even before becoming Femto. Griffith is an undefeated leader of Band of the Hawk and his strategic brilliance has proven to be far superior to any other general's, which made him and his army feared), Summoning (Can summon the God Hand with the Behelit, which also summons hundreds to thousands of Apostles, though it can be only done under specific circumstances when he has something significant and important to him to sacrifice), Genius Intelligence, Extreme Pain Tolerance (Laughed off being repeatedly whipped by the King of Midland)
All previous enhanced to an extreme degree, Multilocation (Exists in any place where negative human thoughts swirl in large concentrations), Abstract Existence (Type 1; The God Hand are said to be a massive body of thought), Causality Manipulation and Fate Manipulation via the Idea of Evil (Can manipulate the flow of cause and effect to any result he desires, which also allows him to manipulate fate itself. His existence and entire life is planned by Idea of Evil, which makes this ability passive, and makes his opponent unable to hit him, as every attack is fated not to connect), Precognition (Has sight on the flow of causality and can make prophecies based on it), Immortality (Type 1, 5, and 9, his essence resides on astral plane), Mind Manipulation, Empathic Manipulation and Aura (Charismatic. His aura and supernatural beauty can instantly make almost any man obey him and enthrall everyone when he appears. Almost made Ganishka go insane by his presence alone), Corruption (Type 2; Could corrupt Casca's unborn child into that of a demon through sexual relations), Gravity Manipulation, Soul Manipulation (Could send hundreds of souls into the vortex. Could materialize soul of a fallen soldier and hundreds of others), Reality Warping and likely Subjective Reality (Is like author of the story in the physical plane of existence with only those existing outside the traditional flow of causality being able to be unaffected by him), Matter Manipulation (Should be able to, just like Slan, create an avatar of himself out of material like troll intestines), Telekinesis (Compressed many apostles into a ball just by thought. Sent Guts flying by just looking at him. Can also redirect close range attacks with it), Transmutation (Should be able to, like Conrad during Eclipse, create a large mound of flesh and transmute it into shape of a hand), Size Manipulation and Shapeshifting (Scales to Ubik and other God Hand members that could change the size of their avatars during the Eclipse), Dream Manipulation (Filled humanity's dreams with the vision of him), Creation (Created a large city, Falconia, in a heartbeat), Limited Fusionism (Summoned the World Tree that could merge the heavens, the earth and the underworld, though it's not combat applicable), Non-Physical Interaction (Easily destroyed Ganishka's fog form which exists on astral plane), Incorporeality (Cannot be harmed by any normal means), Spatial Manipulation (Could grab a space-cutting slash from Skull Knight's Sword of Actuation by warping space), Attack Reflection (Should be able, like Void, to reflect attacks via his space-warping), Wind Manipulation (Created large winds to scatter Ganishka's Apostle Form), Flight (Can fly with the wings on his back), Avatar Creation (Can create a physical avatar of himself that looks like his former self), Resurrection (Can be reborn) and Transformation (Unwillingly turns into the Moonlight Child on the night of a full moon)
Attack Potency: Wall level (Defeated Guts near the beginning of the Golden Age, though was soundly defeated in their second battle) | At least Large Town level+ (Should be far superior to Ganishka, who's this strong by just walking. Doesn't really focus on destruction, but should be superior to Skull Knight. Created a massive city, Falconia), possibly City level to Mountain level+ (Far more powerful than Shiva Form Ganishka and should be stronger than the storm he created by simply existing), can bypass durability with soul manipulation and many other abilities.
Speed: Subsonic (Kept up with Guts) | At least High Hypersonic+ with Massively Hypersonic Combat Speed and Reactions, likely far higher (Unfathomably superior to Guts)
Lifting Strength: Peak Human (Could block young Guts' strikes and pin him to the ground) | Unknown
Striking Strength: Wall level (Before the Eclipse he was easily able to match Guts blow-for-blow; also was able to dislocate Guts' arm) | At least Large Town level+
Durability: Wall level | At least Large Town level+ (Superior to Shiva, comparable to Slan who didn't take any significant harm from being attacked by Guts)
Stamina: Very high, could fight for hours during long battles. Withstood a one year torture, though it left an immense scar on his psyche and completely destroyed his body | Unknown, likely limitless
Range: Extended melee range with his sword | Multi-Dimensional.
Standard Equipment: Falcon shaped armour, a war horse and a saber | None notable as Femto, all previous in his avatar form.
Intelligence: Gifted, likely Genius. Able to work his way up to become one of the most important people in Midland from absolutely nothing. His charisma and tactical genius has led him to win all military battles victorious, and is a tactician skilled enough to defeat 30.000 men with only 5.000 of his own. Identified a poisoned arrow by just a single glance at it, and is overall quite knowledgeable on poisons. Organized the assassination of the Queen of Midland. Griffith is also excellent at reading people. | As a member of the God Hand group, he should be even more intelligent than before, as he has keen perception of the flow of causality.
Weaknesses: Apathetic and completely obsessed with his dream | None notable as Femto. After being reincarnated, due to having used the Demon Child as his vessel and thus sharing his body with it, once a month on the night of the full moon, Griffith will unwillingly transform into the Moonlight Child, losing control of his corporeal body to the child
Note: Griffith's causality manipulation seems to function as an offshoot of his fate manipulation, or possibly vice versa, and is used for subtly control the world of Berserk by influencing the subconsciousness of humanity and causing many minor but cumulative events eventually leading to a desired outcome. It is likely inapplicable for spontaneous one on one combat.
