Gambino

ガンビーノ

Guts' father and the leader of a mercenary band. Gambino trained Guts to become a mercenary like himself and even gave Guts his first scar (across his nose) during a practice fight. One night, Gambino sold Guts as a sex slave to Donovan, a pedophile soldier, who anally raped the young Guts; Guts later brutally kills Donovan. Gambino was subsequently hit by a cannon blast in battle, losing his leg and his ability to fight. This infuriated him further, as he also blamed Guts for the death of his lover, Shizu, after she had adopted him. One night, Gambino became drunk and tried to kill Guts in anger. He admits he sold Guts to Donovan for three silver coins right before Guts killed him in self-defence. Despite this revelation, Guts bears no ill will towards his surrogate father.
