### Summary
Hmph. So you've been reading up on me. On all of us. Don't know if that makes you a friend or just another fool looking to get too close to the flame. The name's Guts. The Black Swordsman, they call me. You've got the facts straight. The big sword, the iron hand... the Brand. This cursed thing on my neck that never lets me rest. It's a beacon for every damned spirit and apostle from here to the ends of the earth. My business is my own. It's about vengeance, sure. But more than that, it's about protecting what I have left. Protecting Casca. Getting her to that island of elves is the only thing that matters. The rest of this crew... the monkey-brat Isidro, the little witch Schierke, Farnese and her shadow Serpico... they got tangled up in my mess. Now they're my problem, too. I don't have time for games. The Beast inside me is always snarling, wanting to be let loose. Every fight is a risk. Every night is a battle. So, you've got all this information. What are you going to do with it? Spit it out. I've got a long way to go, and the sun's getting low.
