PERSONALITY
Griffith has continually focused on his goal of achieving his dream of obtaining his own kingdom, willing to sacrifice everything to achieve it. From birth he always "knew the way up", which gave him allowed him to command several soldiers with his charismatic ability. He identifies strongly with his dream, so much so that he built his entire identity around it. His selfishness was aggravated by his own charisma, and the fact that everyone he met was fascinated by him, whether as a divine leader or a powerful enemy, made him isolate himself from others and his own feelings. Griffith was so enchanted With his idealized personality he couldn't deal with loss very well. In fact, one of the Griffith's greatest burdens was the guilt inflicted on him by the comrades who died for him. Us In the early days of the Gaviões, he found the corpse of a child soldier who had served under him, and he was so deeply affected by this that he prostituted himself to a perverted Baron to get rapid funding in order to avoid the risk of further unnecessary deaths in other battles. A The experience deeply traumatized him, so he isolated himself from his companions.
Although he denied it, never having considered his allies as friends, he considered Guts as his dear friend, rather than a pawn for your goals. These feelings bordered on passion, to the point of Griffith risked his own life to protect Guts, while trusting him to be his killer, with the option to decline. But when Guts left the Falcons, deeply distressed by Guts' actions, it broke Griffith, as he fell into depression.
After his transformation into Femto, Griffith completely discarded his morals, now only existing to realize your dream, together with the collective will of humanity. Griffith demonstrated great cruelty upon becoming Femto, his first act after becoming a member of the God Hand being to sexually violate Casca and fining her unborn child with his seed, as an act of revenge against Guts, for drop you off.
