Silat

How Silat joined the Tourney
Silat is first shown as a showy, but certainly more than competent fighter in a Midland gladiating competition. Having easily defeated every opponent so far up until Guts, he had come to view Midland warriors as poorly trained and mocked them. He is later hired to attack the Band of the Hawk, and does so under cover of night, killing the guards silently and effectively. He assaults Casca, keeping her on the defensive and informing her that he will not hold back simply because she is a woman. Casca appears to have lost when Guts interrupts their fight and challenges Silat a second time. Silat is alarmed by the extent of Guts' abilities, watching him casually catch chakrams and use air physics to counter the ten ribbon-like urumi blades he used. Guts gets underneath his urumi and nearly lands a killing blow, but Silat switches to his sai blades and blocks Guts' sword and, in less than a second, realizes they are going to break and dodges. He concedes and flees, but swears he and Guts will meet again one day.

Seeking to restore the Bakiraka's reputaiton, Silat journeys to Korea and assassinates 15 taekwondo fighters. He does not realize that he angered a top taekwondo fighter named Gang-il.
