Dunteth
CharacterDunteth is a rebel leader who appears only in the video game Sword of the Berserk: Guts' Rage. Standing against the tyrant Balzac, he strikes a short-lived alliance with Guts before a sudden Mandragora frenzy at a village cuts his life short.
Appearance
Dunteth is a brown-haired man with blue eyes. The game supplies little further detail about how he looks.
Personality
The game spells out almost nothing of Dunteth's temperament. His deeds cast him as a rebel chief set against the tyrant Balzac, pragmatic enough to strike a bargain with Guts by offering up his group's help.
History
Dunteth and his followers first make themselves known when they storm Balzac's castle, cutting down two guards moments before those guards can kill Rita, then loosing the transformed Mandragorans and carrying Casca off. Guts later runs into Dunteth, who leads him to the rebels' underground hideout and lays out just how tyrannical Balzac has become.
Because Guts still wants the Mandragora heart owed to him under a deal with Balzac, Dunteth offers his group's aid, viewing the relic as leverage against the baron. The plan comes apart at the village: when one of his men yanks a Mandragora from the ground, the creatures fly into a rage and kill Dunteth.
