Hanarr

Hanarr is a dwarven blacksmith residing in the stone forest beneath Skellig. He forged both the Berserker Armor and the Skull Knight's armor.

Story

Fantasia Arc

Hanarr is met by Gedfring, the Skull Knight, and Guts shortly after the Skull Knight's arrival to the Skellig. He questions what a sorcerer such as Gedfring is doing in the depths of Skellig and greets the Skull Knight as "king". After the Skull Knight expresses gratitude to Hanarr for the armor the dwarf forged keeping him in good health, Hanarr likens the Skull Knight's "good health" to the rattlings of one in their coffin. Turning his attention to Guts, Hanarr is surprised to see the Berserker Armor again, and observes that Guts has used it extensively as its owner. Hanarr warns Guts that his ownership of the armor does not mean he has mastered it and that it may still possess and consume him as its host. Without warning, Hanarr wields his hammer and strikes the Berserker Armor with great force, causing it to activate and begin consuming Guts.^[1]
