The God Hand
Powerful entities who manipulate the world of Berserk, messengers of the Idea of Evil (the God created by Man). The God Hand themselves were once humans who were chosen by the Idea of Evil to serve its purpose of giving reason for humanity's suffering. Note the God Hand can't take corporeal form in the mortal plane; if they do appear there, it is a construct, formed by whatever is at hand. Most of the God Hand's names are inspired by Science-Fiction novels.
The God Hand is summoned whenever new Apostles are born, however such scenes have only been witnessed twice in the manga, first by Griffith's crimson behelit, and later by the Count's behelit. The God Hand appeared in shadowy form at Albion, although Guts discovered that he could not physically touch them. In chapter 306, the God Hand reappeared in Griffith's new and fantastic world after Ganishka's defeat.
