Silat

Silat (シラット, Shiratto) is a highly skilled and agile Kushan fighter first encountered by Guts during a tournament. He is the son of the Bakiraka clan leader. He worked for Emperor Ganishka during a bid to capture "the falcon of oracle" in order to gain the clan's restoration. For the duration of his scouting missions, he was protected by a tapasa group. Silat claimed that relying on their bodies and skills alone was done so that their clan could survive and claim a land in which to live peacefully. Though he says that his clan abandoned pride when they chose to be assassins, he is shown to be proud of his abilities and also of his clan.
