Pippin, a founding member of the Band of the Hawk, possesses an immense physical stature matched by a quiet demeanor. His weapon of choice is a spiked mace, though he occasionally wields a pickaxe. Before joining the mercenaries, he worked as a miner, gaining extensive knowledge of mines and gas flow, proving valuable during missions. He seldom speaks, but when he does, it is often to deliver critical observations or warnings to his comrades, alerting them to dangers like incoming cavalry or enemy arrows. Despite his imposing appearance, he maintains unflappable calm, remaining composed even under physical provocation. He exhibits deep loyalty and protectiveness, particularly towards the band's youngest member, Rickert, safeguarding him in battle with familial concern. Within the Band of the Hawk, Pippin serves as a unit commander. His exceptional physical strength is rivaled only by Guts during the Golden Age Arc. He can hoist Guts over his shoulder, shatter armored skulls with a single mace swing, and cave in enemy faces with a punch. Guts acknowledges their combined might, dubbing them the "Band of the Falcon power tag" during joint efforts against adversaries like the Black Dog Knights. Key moments include detecting the Midland army's ambush immediately after Griffith's capture, an alert critical to the band's survival. During the rescue mission at the Tower of Rebirth, Pippin uses his mining expertise to identify structural weaknesses, such as a ceiling space allowing moonlight passage, which he smashes open to create an escape route. He also combats Bakiraka assassins by generating sparks for visibility with his hammer. His ultimate fate occurs during the Eclipse, where Griffith sacrifices the band to become Femto. Branded on his right arm, Pippin sacrifices himself to hold off attacking Apostles, buying time for Casca and Judeau to escape. He is overwhelmed and killed, his hollowed corpse later used by an Apostle to ambush Guts before being destroyed.
