Skull Knight

"Heed my words, Struggler. Soon a rain of blood, the likes of which you cannot imagine, shall fall down upon you. It will be a storm of death. But take heed, Struggler. Struggle, endure, contend. For that alone is the sword of one who defies death. Do not forget these words."

 Weapons:
*Sword of Thorns: The Skull Knight's basic sword, which is kept in a sheathe attached to his shield. The blade of the sword extends out of a rose decoration at the center of the curving thorns. There are also thorns on the handle, injuring anybody who attempts to use it without an armored hand. It is also implied that the sword may be sentient, as the sword told its wielder that it wasn't yet time to kill the Apostle-Behelit.
*Sword of Actuation: The Skull Knight swallows the Beherits he recovers from slain Apostles, apparently destroying and reforming them as the Sword of Actuation by letting the Sword of Thorns' blade pass down his throat (much like a sword-swallowing trick). The Sword has been shown to cleave open holes through space, and such ability allows him to appear in places simply by willing it when he slices space.
*Skull Armor: In addition to serving as the Skull Knight's protection, it also serves as a makeshift supply of throwing knives, as seen when the Skull Knight breaks off a protrusion from the Armor and throws it to release Slan's grip on one of Guts' arms in the Qliphoth.
*Inner Beast: The Skull Knight was a former user of the Berserker Armor; the Armor he used retains the shape of a skull. This implies that just as Guts has the Beast of Darkness for an inner beast, the Skull Knight holds an inner beast that takes the form of a human skeleton.
Weaknesses: None notable
