Berserk of Gluttony, an anime scheduled to air from October 2023, is a dark fantasy novel based on a novel published on Narou. It is set in a world where everything is determined by innate skills. The protagonist becomes invincible with skills he once thought were useless, but finds himself at the mercy of high-risk, high-reward skills. Here's a look at the characters featured in this series!
Character #1: Fate Graphite
The protagonist of this work. Possessing the useless skill "Gluttony," which simply makes him hungry, he was unable to get a decent job and lived a life at the bottom of society, but when he killed a thief while working as a gatekeeper, the skill of Gluttony was awakened. With the skill of Gluttony, he did not receive the benefit of experience points, but instead stole the abilities and skills of those he killed. With the skill of Gluttony, he gained extraordinary strength in a short period of time, but it also carried the risk of becoming overcome by hunger and going berserk if he did not continue killing and stealing, so he found himself at the mercy of this high-risk, high-return skill.
Character #2: Roxy Hart
The heroine of this work. A holy knight serving the kingdom, she is a pure, upright, and kind-hearted woman. She is a source of emotional support for Fate, helping him when he is downtrodden and offering to work for her. However, she faces hardships, such as suddenly inheriting the family business after her father, the head of the family, is killed in battle, and being deliberately sent to dangerous battlefields because she is not well-liked by the other holy knights.
Character #3: Black Sword Greed
A sentient sword sold for next to nothing at a weapon shop. Its true form is specialized equipment that supports Fate's Gluttony skill. It can change form in exchange for the stats gained through Fate's Gluttony skill. After being purchased by Fate, it becomes a kind of partner, providing support by lecturing Fate on the characteristics of the Gluttony skill. It is believed to be male, and it is implied that it was previously human.
Character #4: Myne
A dark-skinned girl who possesses the same deadly sin skill, "Wrath," as Fate. She wields the black axe, Sloth, the same deadly sin weapon as Greed. She has a straightforward personality, but contrary to her appearance, she is a glutton, unreserved, and greedy for money. She possesses incredible strength, wielding a large axe with ease, and her personality is also quite muscle-brained.
Character #5: Aaron Barbatos
A veteran holy knight. After his castle was destroyed by monsters in a certain incident, he lived a semi-retired life, but he took a liking to Fate and trained her as his apprentice. Despite not possessing any deadly sin skills, he was powerful enough to manipulate Fate at the time. Later, together with Fate, he destroyed the monsters that had taken up residence in his castle, settling the past. He then adopted Fate and made her his heir.
Character #6: Ellis
A mysterious beauty who possesses the same deadly sin skill, "Lust," as Fate and Myne. She has the ability to charm those around her and calls herself the kingdom's guardian. Behind the scenes, she is scheming and operating behind the scenes in various situations. She was plotting to have Roxy Hart killed in battle, but that was not her true intention. In fact, she's not just the kingdom's guardian; she's the one who holds the position of king. The de facto king.
Character #7: Milia
A female knight who is loyal to Roxy and deeply respects her. Her respect for Roxy is so strong that she feels a burning rivalry towards the warrior Mukuro (Fate in disguise), who is highly regarded by Roxy. Originally from an orphanage, she lived a peaceful life, but was taken in by a merchant due to her demon sword skills, and was forced to hunt monsters every day in a prison-like environment. She survived by risking her life, but collapsed on the street and was rescued by Roxy. She has since grown fond of her and wants to help her.
Character #8: Mugan
He is Roxy's subordinate and serves as the commander of the knights she leads. His family is a line of researchers studying lost Gallian technology. His father is a researcher, and his daughter is also a researcher. While his daughter runs a research lab in the Royal Capital Military District, he himself did not find research work to be a good fit, so he joined the Royal Army and fights on the front lines.
Character #9: Rafal Brelic
Fate's former employer looked down on him and treated him like garbage. The Brelic family's research facility had been conducting illegal experiments since his father's time. Rafal was not treated well by the Brelic family, and as the son of a concubine, he hated his circumstances, just like Fate. He gained immense power by absorbing the power of the progenitor of the Night Walkers. His circumstances were very similar to Fate's, and he was like a mirror image of Fate's. However, after his powers went out of control, a certain entity within him took over his mind.
Character 10: Bud Brelic
The second son of the Brelic family, who, along with Rafal Memir, despised Fate and treated her like a slave. He used his subordinates to commit illegal acts such as kidnapping, and was attacked by Fate, who gained power through the Gluttony skill. Despite begging for his life and asking for help, he was brutally murdered.
Character 11: Memil Brelic
The younger sister of the Brelic brothers, Rafal and Bad, who looked down on Fate and treated her harshly. Rafal, who had obtained the power of the Founding Titan, held her captive and used her as a tool for human experimentation, but she was rescued by Fate and the others and survived. After Rafal's death, the Brelic family was dissolved, but she was taken in by the Barbatos family and became Fate's maid. After becoming a maid, she changed her ways and began supporting Fate behind the scenes.
