History
Acting on the King of Midland's orders, the jailer is given leave to inflict whatever suffering he pleases on Griffith as punishment for the commoner's dalliance with Princess Charlotte, forbidden only from killing him. He subjects the prisoner to an array of torments, from tearing out his tongue and severing his tendons to flaying and scalding. When Guts breaks into the tower to free Griffith and learns what has been done, the jailer confesses freely, trusting the cell door to keep him safe. Guts smashes through it regardless, runs the torturer through the chest, cuts out his tongue, and hurls him down into the buried ruins of Gaiseric's fallen city to his death.
