List of The Seven Deadly Sins characters

The members of the titular order of The Seven Deadly Sins. Clockwise from bottom left: Meliodas, Ban, King, Escanor, Diane, Merlin and Gowther.

The Seven Deadly Sins is a manga series written and illustrated by Nakaba Suzuki, set in a fictitious Britannia (ブリタニア, Buritania) in a time period superficially akin to the European Middle Ages. Likewise superficially, and frequently in ironic or contradictory ways, the series references various traditions, including Christianity (e.g., the Seven Deadly Sins, the Ten Commandments) and the Arthurian legend (e.g., in naming Meliodas, Escanor, Merlin, Diane, Gowther, King, and Ban). The contradictory nature of the names given to the groups and characters is reflected in the emergence of the title group as the protagonists and the group of "Holy Knights" as the antagonists of the series.

In accordance with the medieval theme, many of The Seven Deadly Sins are depicted as knights, broadly construed, who are clad in stylized variations of medieval armor, many of whom perform magic. The five major clans in the series are Humans, Giants, Fairies, Goddesses, and Demons, all of which possess powerful abilities and magical powers. In naming the characters, the manga offers a wide variety of further mythical, historical, geographical, and cultural allusions, e.g., King Arthur, Merlin, Gowther, Zaratras (Zoroaster), Dreyfus, Gustaf, Frisia, Jericho, Galland, Derierrie, Albions, The Vampires, and Zhivago.

Main The Seven Deadly Sins characters

Seven Deadly Sins

The Seven Deadly Sins (七つの大罪, Nanatsu no Taizai) were the strongest and cruelest order of Holy Knights in the kingdom, formed by Meliodas and six other brutal criminals from various races who were branded symbols of beasts to symbolize the sin that motivated their crimes. Each of the members of the group had the highest Holy Knight ranking, Diamond. They were branded as traitors to Britannia, having allegedly abetted the assassination of the Great Holy Knight Zaratras. The Deadly Sins are eventually absolved of their crimes after liberating Liones from rule of the Holy Knights.

Meliodas

Meliodas (メリオダス, Meriodasu)

Voiced by: Yuki Kaji (Japanese); Bryce Papenbrook (English)

Meliodas is the captain of the Seven Deadly Sins, who has a girlfriend named Elizabeth, and Meliodas bears the Sin of Wrath as a Dragon symbol on his left shoulder. Despite being called the Sin of Wrath, displaying it whenever those dear to him are endangered or killed, Meliodas conceals his rage under the façade of a mellow, foolish trickster more interested in fondling women than fighting. When found by Elizabeth at the start of the series, who seeks his help in reuniting the Deadly Sins after their disbandment ten years prior, Meliodas has revealed to be doing the same thing. Despite his adolescent appearance, Meliodas is actually a demon who is over three thousand years old. Meliodas is later revealed to be the son of the Demon King and original leader of the Ten Commandments, possessing the fragment of his father's soul embodying Love.^[vol. 34] But Meliodas turned his back on his people when he fell in love with the Goddess Elizabeth, killing two of his fellow Commandments and causing the Holy War to occur.^[vol. 22] The Demon King allowed the Supreme Deity of the Goddess race to curse Meliodas with immortality, with the Demon King cursing Elizabeth with perpetual death and reincarnation to make his son suffer every time he is reunited with her.^[vol. 27] Due to the curse's nature, Meliodas' soul ends up in Purgatory with the Demon King feasting on his emotions before reviving him, gradually reverting to his former self as a result.^[vol. 24] Meliodas soon discovers his feelings for Elizabeth and ends up marrying her and having one child named Tristan. Meliodas has two brothers, however both of his brothers fought for evil ending up siding with the demon king (their father). Meliodas has to fight his brothers in order to surpass his father. After Elizabeth begins regaining her memories as the goddess Elizabeth which would mean that she will die in three days of gaining her memories, Meliodas resolves to become the new demon king to break their curses. He disbands the Deadly Sins and enters an alliance with Zeldris after promising to use his status to release his brother's love Gelda, revealing to have absorbed the Commandment of Pacifism and intending to absorb the other commandments.^[vol. 30] Despite becoming a vessel for the Demon King before managing to force him out of his body, Meliodas freed him and Elizabeth from their curses though he would leave the living world because his power as a Demon king.^{[vol. 36, 37]} But the victory is short-lived as the Demon King possesses Zeldris and restores Elizabeth's curse, prompting the Sins' final battle with the Demon King.^[vol. 38] After killing his father, Meliodas sacrifices his Demon king powers to completely destroy the commandments to prevent the Demon King from reviving.^[vol. 40] In the series epilogue, Meliodas married Elizabeth and become the rulers of Liones with Tristan as their son. ^[vol. 41] As Seven Deadly Sins' captain once revered by his kin as the most powerful demon, Meliodas is immensely powerful and agile. His signature ability is called Full Counter (全反撃（フルカウンター）, Zen Hangeki/Furu Kauntā), which reflects magical attacks back at the attacker with far greater power, the only drawbacks being that he can only use it as a counter and that it is ineffective against physical attacks. Meliodas can also tap into his demonic power, manifesting versatile dark energy from his body to increase his offense and defense at the cost of entering a berserker state. Meliodas initially carried a sword hilt called the Dragon Handle before it was stolen by Helbram and later revealed to be a fragment of the Coffin of Eternal Darkness, which was used to seal away the Demon clan. He later regains his Sacred Treasure Demon Sword Lostvayne (魔剣 ロストヴェイン, Maken Rosutovu~ein), a curved short-sword that allows him to create up to four weaker clones of himself that compensate for their lack in power by using Full Counter to its full potential.

Diane

Diane (ディアンヌ/ダイアン, Diannu/Daian)

Voiced by: Aoi Yūki (Japanese); Erica Mendez (English)

Diane, standing thirty-feet tall, is a 750-year-old member of the Giants' Clan from the land of Megadoza, who bears the Sin of Envy, symbolized by a Serpent symbol tattooed on her left thigh. Unlike her more violent kinsmen who make a living as mercenaries, Diane dislikes fighting. Having run away from home, she came upon King by chance, and the two spent centuries together before he erased her memories of him, and she returned to her tribe soon after.^[vol. 10] She later became an apprentice of her chieftain Matrona, alongside Dolores, and has accompanied Matrona when she was hired by a Holy Knight unit under the command of Gannon, who actually intended to kill the giants and make a name for himself. It ended with Matrona seemingly dying from being poisoned and slaughtering the knights with Diane ending up in Liones' custody, and falsely accused of both the knights' slaughter and killing Matrona in an act of envy. She was recruited by Meliodas before her execution could be carried out.^[vol. 16] Following the Deadly Sins' disbandment, Diane hid in the Forest of White Dreams before Meliodas and Elizabeth recruited her. Diane had feelings for the former for treating her like an equal and being initially jealous whenever he flirts with Elizabeth.^{[vol. 1, 2]} But after being impressed with Elizabeth's selflessness before regaining her memories of her time with King, Diane becomes very good friends with Elizabeth. She eventually regains her childhood memories of King and forms a relationship with him, eventually getting married after the Deadly Sins disband despite the ceremony being disrupted by the Supreme Being's attempt to bring about a new Holy War. As revealed in Four Knights of The Apocalypse, Diane bore King about seven children with their oldest being Nasiens.

As a Giant, Diane is incredibly strong with a deep connection to nature which allows her to manipulate the earth with her race's ability Creation (設定/創造/クリエイション（{{{2}}}）, Settei/Sōzō/Kurieishon). Diane retains her strength and agility even when human-sized while participating in a fighting festival under Matrona's name, quickly defeating ten men and hardening her skin, thereby making it as hard as iron to enhance her durability and strength.^[vol. 5] Her sacred treasure is Gideon, a 2200-pound war-hammer that enhances Diane's earth manipulation powers to a point where a single swing can lift a mountain into the air.

Ban

Ban (バン)

Voiced by: Tatsuhisa Suzuki, Sora Amamiya (young) (Japanese); Benjamin Diskin, Tara Sands (young) (English)

Ban, is a member of the Deadly Sins and bears the Sin of Greed, symbolized by a Fox symbol tattooed above the left side of his waist. Despite being a good-natured person, he is the Sins' most immortal member and infamous as a legendary bandit. At times, the team thinks of him as annoying and very immature. He had taken to a life of thievery at a young age under the tutelage of Zhivago (for example he stole clothes). Years later, Ban learned of the Fountain of Youth and attempted to become immortal so he would live long enough for "something good to happen to him". However, Ban changed his mind when the fountain's guardian Elaine revealed the forest would die if he drank the liquid. He fell in love with the fairy over seven days. She was grateful for him, as her brother had left her alone for seven hundred years prior to meeting Ban. A red demon appeared soon after and in an attempt to kill it, Ban and Elaine were fatally wounded. However, Elaine saved Ban by giving him the liquid from the fountain through a kiss. As she was dying, she gave him an Almoca Seed, which he uses to create a new Sacred Tree. Ban was falsely accused by the Liones Kingdom of destroying and stealing from the previous fountain; he was later recruited by Meliodas after surviving numerous executions.^[vol. 5] Following the Deadly Sins' disbandment, Ban allowed himself to be captured and held captive within Baste Dungeon, which he escaped occasionally so he could tend to the Sacred Tree. He was later nicknamed "King Ban" by the fairy race for his actions. He eventually rejoins the Deadly Sins and serves as a cook in the Boar Hat, whilst getting into occasional confrontations with Meliodas and King. During the New Holy War, after returning from Purgatory with Meliodas' emotions, Ban uses his experience there to transfer his immortality into Elaine to save her life. ^[vol. 36] In the series epilogue, Ban married Elaine and they now have a son named Lancelot. ^[vol. 41] While immortal, unaffected by fatigue or need of sustenance, Ban can heal his body regardless of any severe wound with his blood have healing properties. While Ban sacrificed his immortality, his body became highly durable from his myriad of years in Purgatory's unforgiving environment. His trademark ability is Snatch (強奪（スナッチ）, Sunatchi), which allows him to rob others of their possessions and even physical abilities as he can temporarily sap another's physical strength and speed. Ban also shows some skill with weaponry in the present, particularly with a three-section staff very similar in appearance to a nunchaku. His sacred treasure Courechouse is a four-sectioned staff that was ironically stolen from him during the Deadly Sins' disbandment, the culprit revealed to be Merlin when she returned it to him during the final battle with the Demon King.

King

King (王物/王将/王者/国王/王様/王/キング, Ōmono/Ōshō/Ōja/Kokuō/Ōsama/Ō/Kingu)

Voiced by: Jun Fukuyama (Japanese); Max Mittelman (English)

The fairy King, his real name being Fairy King Harlequin (妖精王 ハーレクイン, Yōsei-ō Hārekuin), is the 1300-year-old member of the Fairy Race who bears the Sin of Sloth, symbolized by Grizzly bear symbol tattooed just above his left ankle. He is portrayed as the group's 'straight man' while often getting caught up in the others' shenanigans. Originally the third king of the Fairy King's Forest, King forsook his duties when he left his domain to rescue his friend Helbram from human abductors and he was saved by Diane after being inflicted with amnesia-inducing injuries. Centuries after regaining his memories and realizing his amnesia was caused by a maddened Helbram, King is forced to kill his friend to cease his human killing spree. He then erased Diane's memories of him before being sentenced by Liones to a 1000-year imprisonment for failing to stop Helbram in time and abandoning his duties as king, with the Fairy King's Forest eventually being destroyed by a demon that would kill his sister Elaine.^[vol. 10] After joining the Seven Deadly Sins, King would occasionally disguise himself as a slovenly over-weighted man to keep Diane from remembering him. Following the Deadly Sins' disbandment, King finally learned of his homeland's destruction while believing Ban was responsible. He crosses paths with the Sins when they heard he took refuge in the Necropolis, reluctantly rejoining the group once learning the truth behind his sister's death.^[vol. 4] Despite Diane's affection towards Meliodas, King remains devoted to her as she eventually regains her memories of their time together. Like members of the fairy race, King has the ability to levitate and float through the air, as well as being able to levitate certain objects and manipulate their trajectory without the need of making physical contact. King also possesses a sacred treasure called Spirit Spear, Chastiefol (精霊の槍, シャスティフォル/霊槍, シャスティフォル, Seireinoyari, Shasutiforu/Reisō, Shasutiforu). A spear crafted from a sacred tree only found in the Fairy Realm, it is much stronger than steel and possesses the mysterious qualities of the tree, which King's ability, Disaster (遭難/異変/不幸/天災/災厄/惨事/災厄/ディザスター（{{{2}}}）, Sōnan/Ihen/Fukō/Tensai/Saiyaku/Sanji/Saigai/Dizasutā), draws out. At will, King can instantly change Chastiefol into one of several different forms, including a pillow which can act as a shield, different forms of spears (one of which can turn an enemy to stone), a massive flower sprouted from the earth that projects an enormous energy beam, and even a large stuffed grizzly bear. But despite his impressive magical abilities and able to move at speeds while in midair, King is physically weak and unable to hold his own in a fight while unarmed. King was voted the most popular character by a large margin in a Weekly Shōnen Magazine character poll for the series, with close to four times as many votes as Ban, who came in second place.

Gowther

Gowther (ゴウセル, Gōuseru)

Voiced by: Yuhei Takagi (Japanese); Erik Scott Kimerer (English)

Gowther is a member of the Deadly Sins who bears the Sin of Lust, symbolized by the Goat symbol tattooed above his breast; he is an androgynous and bespectacled bookworm with pink hair who originally clad himself in a massive suit of armor Merlin designed to stabilize his power due to his unstable mind. He is first seen as emotionless and analytically stoic while also very socially inept as his curiosity often has him performing highly questionable actions, such as manipulating the memories of others. At the time he was discovered, being a skilled actor when he feels like it, he was living under the alias Armand ("Alan" in the anime) and traveling with a Holy Knight named Dale whom he clad in his armor on to contain the knight's transformation into a demon. Gowther is later revealed to be an animated doll created by his namesake, a demon sorcerer forced to bear the Demon King's soul fragment bearing Selflessness (忘我/無我/無私の心/無欲, Bōga/Muga/Mushi no Kokoro/Muyoku), which causes those inflicted by it to lose their sense of self. While modeled after his creator's lover Glariza to serve as his proxy in the Ten Commandments. Gowther received free will before helping his creator end the Holy War by rewriting Mael's identity.^[vol. 34] Gowther disappeared afterward, found centuries later in the cellar of Liones Castle by Bartra's sister Princess Nadja, whom Gowther fell in love with. While Nadja returned the sentiment, she died from an illness of the heart while resting against Gowther. In the manga, this was a result of the couple engaging in romantic relations together, after which Nadja expired. Gowther tried reviving her with his magic heart, a charm that he was told gives him his emotions, but it failed to resurrect her while making it appear that he had sadistically raped then murdered her. Gowther accepted the blame for his "crime of lust" out of guilt, discarding his magic heart to render himself emotionless to no longer feel the pain of losing Nadja. It was only after learning that King and Diane were searching for his magic heart that Gowther learned that it was only a placebo to begin with and begins accepting his emotions, allowing him to be more sociable while using his power to its full extent without trouble. Gowther's special ability, Invasion (来冦/仇/蚕食/入寇/侵寇/来攻/侵掠/来襲/侵犯/襲来/侵攻/侵略/侵入, Ki Kòu/Kyū/Sanshoku/Nyūkō/Shinkō/Rai Osamu/Shinryaku /Raishū/Shinpan/Shūrai/Shinkō/Shinryaku/Shin'nyū), is a versatile ability that enables him to invade a person's mind and manipulate it in various ways that include memory alteration, forcing opponents to relive their worse moments, and telepathically relaying coordinated battle plans to his allies almost instantaneously. As a doll, Gowther has shown a high level of resilience to attacks normally fatal to humans like decapitation. His sacred treasure is Herritt, which takes the form of twin bows made of light which greatly enhances the spread and range of his Invasion. Like Hawk, Gowther is equipped with a Balor Power Eye that allows him to detect the overall power level of anyone in his vicinity.

Merlin

Merlin (マーリン, Mārin)

Voiced by: Maaya Sakamoto (Japanese); Lauren Landa (English)

Merlin is a cool and calculative member of the Deadly Sins who bears the Sin of Gluttony, symbolized by the Boar symbol tattooed above her neck, normally in the form of an attractive raven-haired woman in skimpy clothing, Merlin is a 3000-year-old witch known as the "Daughter of Bérialin" as her true name is unpronounceable by humans. Trained by her father the chief sage and the demon wizard Gowther, Merlin possessed vast magical potential and was raised as a weapon for her peoples' use against the higher ranking goddesses and demons. She fled Bérialin and crossed paths with Meliodas, with whom she fell in love, motivating her to assume an adult form and use a combination of the Infinity and Chrono Coffin (時の棺（クロノ・コフィン）, Toki no Hitsugi/Kurono Kofin) spells to render herself an ageless immortal.^[ch. 337] She bore no animosity towards Meliodas and Elizabeth when they fell in love with each other, treating the latter like a sister. Merlin lives up to her sin with her obsession of filling the void in her heart when she learned of Chaos and resolves to release the entity from its seal, causing Bérialin's destruction when exploited the recruitment attempts of the Demon King and the Supreme Deity to increase her power with added immunity to their factions' powers. After enlisting the giant Dabuzu to create the Coffin of Eternal Darkness in order to seal away the Demons and the Supreme Deity, Merlin wandered Brittania before reuniting with Meliodas and helping him establish the Seven Deadly Sins as a means to eliminate either the Demon King or the Supreme Deity to cause the imbalance needed for her agenda. When the Sins were accused of killing Zaratras, Merlin knocked Meliodas out to extract most of his power as a precautionary measure due to the wrath and destruction Meliodas released upon the death of one of Elizabeth's reincarnations. Before returning to the Sins, Merlin positioned herself as mentor to a young Arthur Pendragon. While on somewhat friendly terms with the other Deadly Sins, Merlin seemed to particularly enjoy Escanor's unrequited feelings for her. Following the death of the Demon King, having influenced events of the group's final battles by reactivating Elizabeth's reincarnation curse, Merlin reveals her true reasons for aiding the Sins when she conducts a ritual to resurrect Arthur as a vessel of Chaos. The other Sins felt betrayed after learning Merlin's story from the Lady of the Lake, but eventually forgive her with Melodias telling her to take responsibility for whatever results from her actions.^{[ch. 335, 337]} Merlin's whereabouts are currently unknown during the events of Four Knights of the Apocalypse, with Arthur turning a captive fairy into a copy of Merlin that he keeps for company before later killing the fairy upon Guinevere seeing through the deception.^[ch. 91]

Merlin has mastery over a vast repertoire of spells with flight, illusions, and telekinesis among them. She can maintain any spell indefinitely regardless of its mana cost through her ability Infinity. Through the Demon King's and Supreme Deity's boons, with immunity to being manipulated by goddesses and any form of curse, Merlin acquires spells exclusive to the Demon and Goddess races like Perfect Cube, a Demon spell which encases and traps a small area in a cube-like barrier that is impervious to virtually any attack. Merlin's Sacred Treasure is a crystal ball known as Morning Star Aldan (明星 アルダン/モーニングスター アルダン, Myōjō Arudan/Mōningusutā Arudan), which allows her to perceive anything or transfer her consciousness into it, which she makes use of when her body is temporarily turned to stone by Galland's commandment.

Escanor

Escanor (エスカノール, Esukanōru)

Voiced by: Tomokazu Sugita, Sara Matsumoto (young) (Japanese); Kyle Hebert, Kira Buckland (young) (English)

Escanor, a member of the Deadly Sins who bears the Sin of Pride, epitomized by the Lion symbol tattooed on his back, was originally a prince of the Kingdom of Castellio until he was disowned and driven from his homeland due to his inability to control his monstrous strength, with a woman named Rosa helping him escape via the sea in a barrel. He had been traveling alone ever since, helping wherever he goes but driven off by fearful townsfolk. He later ended up joining the Seven Deadly Sins as their final member when he ended up in Liones, making him feel welcome as he fell in love with Merlin and later played a role in devastating Edinburgh Castle during the Deadly Sins' battle with the vampires. Following the group's disbandment, Escanor opened a secret tavern in the mountains where he remained until Ban found him by accident. Escanor rejoins the Deadly Sins soon after and, as a result of being gradually unable to withstand his own power, dies in the aftermath of the group's final battle against the Demon King.^[ch. 333] For reasons unknown, Escanor acquired Archangel Mael's Grace Sunshine (日影/日/陽光/太陽/サンシャイン（{{{2}}}）, Hikage/Hi/Yōkō/Taiyō/Sanshain), which increases his physical strength depending on the position of the sun at the cost of making him overconfident. Escanor reaches his full power for one minute of noon when the sun is at its zenith, exceeding every living being on the planet as power incarnate known as "The One". Escanor can also use this ability to emit sunlight from his body so as to destroy nearly everything in close proximity. But like the other Graces, it gradually damages Escanor's body before continued use becomes harmful to him. Escanor's sacred treasure is Rhitta, a massive ornate one-handed axe with a crescent blade named after "the maiden loved by the sun". At night, he cannot even lift the weapon off the ground, but he can easily grasp with a single hand the moment it becomes dawn. He can summon Rhitta to his side at a moment's notice and is able to store sunlight within it for later use.

Elizabeth Liones

Elizabeth Liones (エリザベス・リオネス, Erizabesu Rionesu)

Voiced by: Sora Amamiya (Japanese); Erika Harlacher (English)

Elizabeth Liones is originally from the Kingdom of Danafor before it was destroyed. She was adopted by Bartra Liones as the third princess of Liones. She becomes an ally of the Seven Deadly Sins when seeking their help after the Great Holy Knights seized control of the kingdom, serving as a waitress in Meliodas' bar. Despite being frail and not a fighter, Elizabeth is very courageous and willing to protect others at the cost of her own health, like allowing Hendrickson to acquire her blood to free the Demon Race from the Coffin of Eternal Darkness. Still, being only a teenager, she is fairly gullible and easily influenced, often tricked by Meliodas' jokes. She doesn't seem to mind how often he caresses, molests, or harasses her sexually, however, and has even fallen in love with him due to a sense of familiarity with and nostalgia for him. Queen Elizabeth is later revealed to be the 107th reincarnation of the Goddess Elizabeth, known as Bloodstained Ellie for her rarely seen violent streak before meeting Meliodas with their love causing the Holy War between their races. Elizabeth was killed near the war's end when she and Meliodas are attacked by their parents for their love, Elizabeth cursed by the Demon King to endlessly reincarnate as a human. The curse serves to torment Meliodas as Elizabeth would die within three days of regaining her powers and memories. In her current life, Elizabeth's latent power manifested in her ability to heal living things with tears from her right eye, manifesting more of her power in times of stress. Elizabeth eventually regains full memory of her previous incarnations and her full Goddess power is unleashed, activating her curse as the New Holy War is about to commence. This forces Meliodas to take a gambit of acquiring his father's power to break Elizabeth's curse, with Merlin briefly restoring the curse in secret as a means to force Meliodas to kill his father. Following the Sins disbanding, Elizabeth succeeds her father as queen of Liones with Meliodas as her husband.

Hawk

Hawk (ホーク, Hōku)

Voiced by: Misaki Kuno (Japanese); Cristina Valenzuela (English)

Hawk is a talking Gloucestershire old spots pig and Meliodas's pet/companion, introduced as the Boar Hat's 'captain of the Order of Scraps Disposal' as he eats disgusting table scraps. Hawk found Meliodas in a ditch sixteen years prior, and the two established a mobile bar together, having been together ever since. They often engage in harmless banter, with Hawk frequently seen scolding Meliodas for his perverted actions towards Elizabeth. Though mostly serving as comic relief by acting overly arrogant, he yet aids Elizabeth and the Sins several times, utilizing headbutts and other modest attacks on weaker enemies and transporting wounded allies. In the Kingdom Infiltration Arc, Hawk sacrifices himself to block a fatal attack of Hendrickson's aimed at Meliodas, and his death caused much anguish for Elizabeth and the Sins. But Hawk mysteriously revives from his remains as a piglet before regaining his normal size through excessive eating. Besides Meliodas, Hawk gets particularly well along with Ban and Merlin. Later, the latter equips him with a Balor Power Eye that allows him to detect the power level of anyone he sees. During his training in Istal, Hawk learns that he temporarily acquires the traits of whatever magical creature he eats, obtaining their powers until he digests them. It is later revealed that Hawk is a denizen of Purgatory and the younger brother of Wild, the latest of the creatures that the Demon King used as a means of spying on Meliodas from Purgatory.

Under the rule of the Holy Knights, death was the penalty for insubordination. Following Hendrickson's defeat and Dreyfus's disappearance, Bartra pardoned most of the knights as he preferred they atone for their actions.

The Demon King

Demon King (魔王/魔神王, Maō/Majin-ō)

Voiced by: Shōzō Iizuka (original), Tesshō Genda, Yasuyuki Kase (Meliodas's Body), Kazuhiko Inoue (Zeldris's Body) (Japanese); Jason Marnocha, Mick Lauer (Meliodas's Body), J. Michael Tatum (Zeldris's Body) (English)

The Demon King is the progenitor of the Demons and father of Meliodas and Zeldris, along with being the one who cursed Elizabeth with reincarnation. He was created by the entity Chaos like the Supreme Deity to maintain balance in the world, continuing that purpose after sealing their creator away.^[ch. 337] While physically forced to remain in Purgatory due to his power being potent enough to wipe out Britannia, he fragmented parts of his soul to bestow to the Ten Commandments while conditioning his sons so one of them can become his vessel upon absorbing all the Commandment sigils.^[vol. 36] During the New Holy War, the Demon King manages to possess Meliodas when he absorbed the Commandments and engages his son in the metaphysical battle while battling his comrades and mortally wounding Zeldris. Though purged from Meliodas, the Demon King's spirit possesses Zeldris's body with Cusack's help before engaging the Seven Deadly Sins in an epic battle.^{[vol. 37-39]} The Demon King is eventually exorcised from Zeldris and is forced to create a body from the surrounding countryside before being destroyed for good by Meliodas, his death breaking the seal that he and the Supreme Deity placed on Chaos.^[vol. 40]

The Ten Commandments

Ten elite demons were selected personally by the Demon King, they were originally led by Meliodas 3000 years prior before he fell in love with Elizabeth, which caused the Holy War. Each of the Ten Commandments can make use of a curse which plays on the virtue that they represent. The Commandments are named after virtues they are branded with, later revealed to be fragments of the Demon King's soul, which play on the nature of their curses. A commandment's sigil passes to whoever defeats the current holder or receives it willingly, with the one who possesses all ten sigils gaining power equal to the Demon King's yet subject to becoming his vessel.^[vol. 36] The Commandment sigils are eventually destroyed when Meliodas permanently destroys the Demon King.^[ch. 332]

Zeldris (ゼルドリス, Zerudorisu)

Voiced by: Yuki Kaji (Japanese); Bryce Papenbrook (English)

Zeldris is The Ten Commandments' acting leader and Meliodas' younger twin brother, bearing the sigil of Piety which turns those who turn their back on him into obedient servants to him and the Demon King, by extension. This ability relates to Zeldris' resentment towards Meliodas before betraying their father despite the Demon King's still wanting his older brother to become the new Demon King. Though having acquired the other sigils, Zeldris gives them to Meliodas after his brother promised to use his power as Demon King to revive the vampire Gelda whom Zeldris developed feelings for him. But Zeldris realizes the truth of the Demon King's succession as he is mortally wounded helping the Deadly Sins save Meliodas from the Demon King's possession. But Cusack unknowingly makes Zeldris his father's new body in the aftermath of the New Holy War.^{[vol. 36, 37]} Luckily, the Deadly Sins manage to free Zeldris as he and a revived Gelda take their leave after the Demon King is destroyed.^[ch. 333] Zeldris returns to the aid the Sins during the events of the epilogue film The Seven Deadly Sins: Cursed by Light, taking over as ruler of the Demon World while making peace with Meliodas. In Four Knights of the Apocalypse, Zeldris is revealed to have looked after Percival while he ended up in the Demon World before sending him back to his grandfather.

Fraudrin (フラウドリン, Furaudorin)

Voiced by: Hidenobu Kiuchi, Katsuyuki Konishi (Dreyfus's Body) (Japanese); Chris Cason, Jamieson Price (Dreyfus's Body) (English)

Fraudrin is an upper-class demon resembling a purple spiked giant with a mouth on his chest. He was previously a general during the ancient war before being promoted to a substitute Commandment following Gowther's disappearance, despite not receiving the Demon King's soul fragment representing Selflessness. Fraudrin is the cause of the Danafall Kingdom's destruction, having accidentally been released from the Coffin of Eternal Darkness together with other low-class demons, only to be nearly killed when Meliodas' rage vaporized the kingdom after Fraudrin murdered Liz. This forced a weakened Fraudrin to possess the body of Dreyfus when he and Hendrickson were sent to investigate the ruins, using the two humans in a scheme to get revenge on Meliodas while bringing the rest of the demons back to Britannia.^[vol. 16] Pretending to be Dreyfus until the Ten Commandments were freed, he developed an emotional attachment to Dreyfus' son Griamore as a result; Fraudrin rejoins the group to replenish his strength while revealing his substitute status while in the Pleiades of the Blue Sky's custody. During the Commandments' attack on Liones, Zaratras and Hendrickson eventually exorcise Fraudrin with the demon ending up fighting Meliodas. Fraudrin attempts to self-destruct and take Liones with him but stops at Griamore's pleas, realizing Meliodas' motivation for betraying their people and allowing him to end his life.^[vol. 24]

Estarossa (エスタロッサ, Esatarossa)

Voiced by: Hiroki Tōchi, Shinei Ueki (young) (Japanese); David Vincent, David Errigo Jr. (young) (English)

Estarossa is the normally laid-back adopted older brother of Zeldris and Meliodas. He possesses a version of the latter's Full Counter ability that allows him to reflect physical attacks. Estarossa is later revealed to be originally the Archangel Mael (マエル, Maeru) of the Goddess Race who possessed the Grace Sunshine (太陽, Taiyō) which increases his power while exposed to sunlight. Being among those who slaughtered unarmed demons at the start of the Holy War, Mael's identity was rewritten by the Commandant Gowther to have him take Meliodas' place in the Ten Commandants as the holder of the Demon King's soul fragment representing Love (慈愛/恋仲/慈しみ/恋心/想い/思い/愛着/愛好/恋愛/愛情/恋/好き/愛/慈愛, Jiai /Koinaka/Itsukushimi/Koigokoro/Omoi/Omoi/Aichaku/Aikō/Ren'ai/Aijō/Koi/Suki/Ai/Jiai), enabling him to nullify any damage by those with hatred in their hearts. But traces of Estarossa's former identity linger as retain his love for Elizabeth and his deep-seated grudge toward Meliodas for stealing her heart, which strengthened his false memories. Being easily defeated by a fully powered Escanor during the siege of Liones since his opponent did not harbour any hatred towards him, Estarossa learns of Zeldris's alliance with Meliodas to make the latter the new Demon King and acts against them by taking Galland and Monspeet's Commandments. The result causes Estarossa's mind and body to become unstable while returning to his true identity as Mael, deciding to make Gowther suffer for his role in his creator's spell by killing his friends and absorb Derieri's Commandment while killing her, Oslo, Tariel, and Sariel in the resulting battle. After being defeated by King and Gowther managing to help him expel the commandments, Mael uses a spell to enable Oslo and Derieri to reincarnate with their memories intact.^{[vol. 33, 34]} Mael then joins the Deadly Sins to end the new Holy War and stop the Demon King to atone for his role in the previous Holy War, regaining Sunshine from Escanor before bestowing it back to the human during the Sins' final battle with the Demon King.^{[vol. 36, 39]} Mael returns during the events of the epilogue film The Seven Deadly Sins: Cursed by Light when his revived kindsmen attack Liones on the Supreme Deity's command, attempting to stop them.

Melascula (メラスキュラ, Merasukyura)

Voiced by: Mao Ichimichi (Japanese); Mela Lee (English)

Melascula is a snake who became a pink-haired naja demon from bathing in miasma for years, possessing a composed yet mocking personality. She possesses the Commandment of Faith, which burns the eyes of anyone who loses faith or doubts their convictions in her presence. She uses her aura to summon the souls of the dead in order to create a zombie army to wipe out humans and can summon lesser demons as well. When the reanimated Elaine resists her control, she and Galland pursue her, Ban, and Jericho to Escanor's bar. After getting inebriated by the owner's beer, Melascula witnesses Galland's defeat against Escanor and ends up horrifically burned in her attempt to swallow the human's soul. Though healed by Gloxinia while joining the other Ten Commandments into overpowering Meliodas, Melascula gets her jaw dislocated by Ban with most of her hearts destroyed. She is later sent to Coland to maintain a barrier around Camelot, trapping Meliodas in a Dark Cocoon while using Coland's restless dead against the other Sins and Elaine. But she is ultimately defeated and purified back into a normal snake by Elizabeth, with Merlin trapping the powerless Melascula in a test tube to study her prior to losing her Commandment. In Four Knights of the Apocalypse, Melascula regains her humanoid form after being infused with the power of chaos by King Arthur to serve him as Chaos Melascula (カオス＝メラスキュラ, Kaosu Merasukyura). She infiltrates Liones with Galland's severed head before reviving him to enact both Arthur's orders for the Four Knights to be killed along with her revenge on the Deadly Sins. After being defeated by Tristan, Melascula is forced to use her Chaos Staff to fuse herself with Galland to become Melagalland (メラガラン, Meragarando) in a final attempt for the demons to fulfill their mission.

Galland (ガラン, Garan)

Voiced by: Hiroshi Iwasaki (Japanese); Kirk Thornton (English)

A gangly and arrogant demon clad in a red steel-armor and armed with a halberd. Galland possesses the fragment of the Demon King's soul representing Truth (真実, Shinjitsu) which petrifies whomsoever lies in his presence, including himself should he break a promise. After being revived, though not back at full power yet, Galland decides to attack Camelot as a warm-up upon learning Meliodas is there. Subjecting Merlin to his commandment's power when she attempts to stall for time after he killed most of Camelot's knights, Galland takes his leave after Gowther manipulates him into thinking that he killed the Deadly Sins and Slader.^{[vol. 15, 16]} After being easily overpowered by Meliodas after he regains his full powers, Galland accompanies Melascula to Raven, where they begin to hunt Ban, Jericho, and Elaine.^[vol. 18] The search takes the demons to My Sweet Gluttony, with Galland showing his love for alcohol and challenging Escanor to a "game" in which the two would take turns hitting each other with their weapons until one would end up dead. Despite being split in half by the Sin of Pride, he regenerates and uses his most powerful ability "Critical Over" to try and finish off Escanor, only to see that his attack barely managed to scratch him. Galland ignores Melascula's warnings out of pride before attempting to flee as Escanor was about to finish him and is petrified as a result.^[vol. 19] Galland remained conscious and is later found by Estarossa, who shatters him in order to acquire his Commandment.

In Four Knights of the Apocalypse, Galland's head was retrieved by King Arthur and given to Melascula for her to revive with the power of chaos. He is brought back as an armorless and muscular version of himself called Chaos Galland (カオス＝ガラン, Kaosu Garan) to carry out Arthur's orders to kill the Four Knights of the Apocalyse while acting on his own desire to enact revenge on the Deadly Sins. After Galland is defeated by Gawain and Percival, his body is fused with Melascula's to form Melagalland in the demons' last ditch effort to fulfill their mission.

Monspeet (モンスピート, Monsupīto)

Voiced by: Kenjiro Tsuda (Japanese); Keith Silverstein (English)

Monspeet is a sophisticated, human-looking demon with a thin moustache and purple hair, able to utilize long-range flame magic in the form of birds. He's a gentleman of sorts and is usually close to Derieri. He possesses the Commandment of Reticence, which prevents him from verbally expressing his true feelings of love towards Derieri with her unaware of it. He and Derieri went into hiding after being defeated by Meliodas, taking refuge in a small cabin near a village with the resolve to no longer partake in the fighting. But the two are attacked by Estarossa with Monspeet sacrificing himself so Derieri can escape.

Derieri (デリエリ)

Voiced by: Ayahi Takagaki (Japanese); Allegra Clark (English)

Derieri is a female demon with spiky, unruly hair who is naked save for a few patches of darkness covering parts of her body. She has a crude, yet carefree personality and often prefaces her comments with "the bottom line is" which Monspeet often expands on in a long-winded fashion. She possesses the Commandment of Purity, which inflicts those who commit impure deeds with disease. She is a formidable physical combatant, gaining additional power the longer she launches consecutive blows at an enemy. She expresses a deep-seated hatred towards the Goddess clan for one of them killing her older sister among several noncombatant demons that they held hostage. As a result, she and Monspeet each gave up six of their seven hearts to temporary become Induras, increasing their power at the cost of being easily killed by an opponent. She and Monspeet are later beaten by Meliodas, shortly after he re-awakened and are seen later relaxing in a small cabin, hiding their identities as Demons. Having lost her will to fight, Derieri decides to go to Camelot and return her Commandment to Zeldris, but Estarossa finds them first. Monspeet manages to save her from being killed by launching her away from Estarossa, conveniently sending her to where the assault team composed of Holy Knights, the Four Archangels, and the Seven Deadly Sins are fending off a demon attack. When Estarossa spirits Elizabeth away, Derieri offers her help to King, Sariel, and Tauriel in retrieving her. She comes up with a plan to hold Estarossa once he is revealed as Mael from the Goddess clan by working as a team with Gowther, King, and the rest. However, she dies after Mael blows out her last heart in the battle, which results in her commandment being absorbed as well. In the afterlife, she is thankful to Elizabeth as she finally learns about Monspeet's feelings for her. After Mael is saved from the commandments, he uses a spell to allow Oslo's and Derieri's souls keep their memories of their previous lives in their next reincarnation. The events of Four Knights of the Apocalypse reveal that Derieri reincarnated as a human mage named Thetis (ティティス, Titisu), serving in Liones under Elizabeth.

Drole (ドロール, Dorōru)

Voiced by: Daisuke Ono (Japanese); Mark Whitten (English)

Drole is the founding king of the Giant Race also known to the humans as Balor, revered by his people for developing a sacred dance and valor in battle despite being shunned as a child for his four arms, grayish-blue skin, and his gouged-out left eye. While he initially participated in the Holy War as a member of Stigmata, Drole joined the demons alongside Gloxinia after submitting to Zeldris and joining the Ten Commandments. He replaces a member Meliodas killed as the holder of the Commandment of Patience, which inflicts those intolerant of pain with further pain. Drole later takes an interest in Diana when he and Gloxinia turn Vaizel into a gigantic labyrinth in order to gather fighters and attract the Seven Deadly Sins, later testing King and Diane by having them enact their roles in the Holy War to see if they made the right choice. Diane selecting the opinion to run away rather than submit or die fighting convinces Drole to leave the Ten Commandments alongside Gloxinia. He is killed by Chandler while he and Gloxinia try to protect the Seven Deadly Sins.

Gloxinia (グロキシニア, Gurokishinia)

Voiced by: Yūsuke Kobayashi (Japanese); Marin Miller (English)

Gloxinia is the first Fairy King and member of Stigma, who was assumed to have been killed by the Demon King during the Ancient War. In reality, Gloxinia allied himself with the demons after believing his unconscious sister Gerharde was killed by a human ally named Rou, whom he killed after some Stigma members attacked his homeland. Gloxinia replaces a previous Commandment Meliodas killed as holder of the fragment of the Demon King's soul representing Repose, which seals away the magic of those who fight without rest. He wields the Spirit Spear Basquias, which constantly covers him in the form of tentacles and has a versatile set of abilities similar to those of King's Chastiefol, but at a much higher level of potency and destructiveness. He and Drole take an interest in King and Diane, testing them by having them enact their role in the Holy War to see if they made the right choice. King's choice to spare Rou rather than give into rage convinces Gloxinia to leave the Ten Commandments alongside Drole, sending their Commandments back to Zeldris. He and Drole are killed by Chandler when they try to protect the fleeing Seven Deadly Sins.

Grayroad (グレイロード, Gureirōdo)

Voiced by: Kōji Yusa (Japanese); Ben Lepley (English)

She also commands powerful cursing magic that automatically returns her target to the location at which she cursed them, preventing them from escaping her. Grayroad ends up becoming one of Merlin's test subjects when the witch proves herself to be immune to Grayroad's commandment and is captured in a test tube after attempting to flee.

Gowther of Selflessness (無欲のゴウセル, Muyoku no Gōseru)

Voiced by: Keiji Fujiwara (Wrath of the Gods), Yōhei Tadano (Dragon's Judgement) (Japanese); Greg Chun (English)

Gowther is a Demon sorcerer and Merlin's mentor who was forced to bear the Demon King's soul fragment representing Selflessness and subsequently imprisoned for five centuries when he refused to fight for the Demon King. Prior to his imprisonment, he created a proxy body in the likeness of his lover Glariza to observe the outside world until he used the Ancient War to orchestrate his escape with the intent of ending the conflict through a ritual to alter the identity of Archangel Mael into Estarossa, selecting him for being Glariza's killer.^{[vol. 33, 34]} But the large demand of magical energy needed for the ritual's success kills Gowther, passing his commandment and name on to his creation who joins the Seven Deadly Sins three millennia later.

First Demon

First Demon (原初の魔神, Gensho no Majin)

Voiced by: Toshihiko Seki (Japanese); Brook Chalmers (English)

The First Demon is a centaur-like demon that Demon King had created as his adviser and ended up splitting into two separate beings as punishment for attempting to overthrow him during a revolt.^[vol. 35] The two halves of the First Demon, Chandler and Cusack, are instilled with the need to mentor the Demon King's sons Meliodas and Zeldris as the Demon King's heirs with both unaware of how the succession works. The First Demon is briefly restored during the New Holy War when Chandler and Cusack regain memories of their original self and cancel the Demon king's division curse, taking use of the double-edged effect of his ability Crisis as his restoration is slowly killing him. But he is defeated by Mael, whose attack restored the Demon King's spell and splintered him back into his two components.^{[vol. 35, 37]}

Chandler (チャンドラー, Chandorā)

Voiced by: Shinshuu Fuji (Japanese); John DeMita (English)

Chandler is an extremely powerful supreme-rank demon and is Meliodas' former mentor, titled as the "Pacifier Demon" from apparently sucking the marrow from his victims' bones. Chandler shows an obsession for Meliodas as he blames Elizabeth for his apprentice's betrayal while refusing to acknowledge anyone else as the next Demon King. He normally appears as an old man with a demon mark on the right side of his face, extremely proficient in magic and having taught Meloidas the Full Counter technique. While enraged, he becomes immensely muscular with his hair and eyes blackened and dragon-like wings sprouting from his back. In this form, Chandler is powerful to overwhelm the Deadly Sins on his own and conjure the daylight obscuring "True Night". Chandler is killed in the aftermath of the New Holy War by Cusack after the two briefly merged back into their original form.^{[vol. 35, 37]}

Cusack (キューザック, Kyūzakku)

Voiced by: Jouji Nakata (Japanese); Armen Taylor (English)

Cusack is an extremely powerful supreme-rank demon and is Zeldris' mentor, titled the "Dozing God of Death" with his power imposing enough to instill fear in Excalibur. Cusack generally appears a relatively young man with a long mustache, having a somewhat condescending demeanor as he usually fights those who interest him or provide a challenge. Much like Chandler, Cusack is obsessed with Zeldris to the point of love. In his true demon form, his hair whitens as he sprouts dragon's wings while his arms lengthen with his hands enlarged enough to hold his two swords with only one. Cusack kills off Chandler in the aftermath of the New Holy War and is later killed by the Demon King after unknowingly turning Zeldris into his vessel.^{[vol. 35, 37]}

Lower Class Demons

Red Demons

One of the lower class of demons, they are massive red obese-looking creatures that can breathe Purgatory Fire, which has far greater potency than normal fire. They also possess two hearts, making them difficult to kill. A red demon was first seen invading the Fairy King's forest twenty years prior, where it burned down the forest and killed Elaine before Ban slew it with it the aid of his newly acquired immortality. Its corpse was eventually found by Hendrickson, who uses its blood to create Holy Knights with the powers of demons, a process perfected in the New Generation.

Gray Demons

Also known as "Ash Demons", these demons have thick gray-coloured carapaces that make them extremely durable, faces surrounded by pointed petal-like protrusions vaguely resembling a stylized sun or flower, and wings. In addition to breathing Purgatory Fire, they can utilize various darkness-based attacks, such as "Dark Snow", an attack that consists in conjuring up black snow-like particles which kill instantly. After being cornered and nearly defeated by five of the Sins, Hendrickson consumes the blood of a Gray Demon to vastly increase his strength and continue the battle.

Blue Demons

Also known as "Cobalt Demons", are Bird-like demons with muscular physiques, they are known for their speed. Four of them were summoned by Melascula's powers, and then they are eventually all killed off.

Albions

Giant demon-made golems that served as war machines during the Holy War, rendered dormant when the Demons were sealed until they reactivate when the Ten Commandments are released. They have a power level of 5500, making them effectively as strong as Hendrickson after he acquires the powers of the Gray Demon. Like the lower-class Demons, they can breathe Purgatory Fire. They can also sprout additional appendages from their heads to launch additional attacks. Their only weakness is a core embedded in their chest. Two of them have appeared so far: a fat one that attacked Camelot, which Meliodas destroys and a taller, thinner one with long limbs that appeared at the revived Fairy King's forest before it is destroyed by King's unleashed Chastiefol.

The Vampires of Edinburgh

The Vampire Race are among the creatures birthed from the Mother of Chaos, serving the Demon race as vassals during the Holy War. But the Vampire King Izraf attempted a coup that ends in failure, with the Demon King using this as an excuse to force Zeldris into killing his love Gelda (Voiced by: Yuko Kaida (Japanese); Amber Lee Connors (English)). But Zeldris instead sealed the vampires away in a sarcophagus rather than execute them. But the vampires were freed 12 years prior to the inception of the story, taking over the Kingdom of Edinburgh before they were all killed with the exception of Orlandi, whom Merlin captured and turned into a bat creature in service to Camelot, and Gelda, whom Meliodas resealed before being freed and reunited with Zeldris.

Goddess Race

One of the five races of Britannia that are Demon Race's equals and are led by the Supreme Deity. Three millennia ago, as a result of Elizabeth falling in love with Meliodas, the Goddess Race declared war on the Demon with support from the humans, the giants, and the fairies. Though they won the war by using the Coffin of Eternal Darkness after the demon mage Gowther altered their memories that Mael was killed, the Supreme Deity was sealed away while the other members of the Goddess Race losed their physical forms. Following the return of the Demons, members of the Goddess Race begin to resurface and gather for a new Holy War.

Supreme Deity

Supreme Deity (最高神, Saikō-shin)

Voiced by: Kana Kurashina (Japanese); Rebeka Thomas (English)

The progenitor of the Goddess Race and Elizabeth's mother in her first life, created by Chaos along with the Demon King and the Sacred Tree for the purpose of maintaining balance through her conflict with the former. The Supreme Deity took offense to Chaos creating the human race as she and the Demon King formed an alliance to seal away their creator, encouraging their races into conflict over dominion over the world.^[ch. 337] Despite her rivalry with the Demon King, the Supreme Deity joined him in destroying Bérialin for Merlin making fools of them and later cursing their children near the end of the Holy War. But Merlin and Gowther of Selflessness arranged events that sealed the Supreme Deity when she uses the Coffin of Eternal Darkness to imprison the demons. She serves as the antagonist in the epilogue film The Seven Deadly Sins: Cursed by Light, freed from her seal months after the Demon King's demise with the intent to kill the Sins and their allies before renewing the Holy War. But she ends up destroyed by Meliodas and Zeldris.

While polite with a desire for peace, Ludoshel hates demons enough he lied to Meliodas of wanting peace between their peoples and willfully using Elizabeth as a distraction so he and his younger brother Mael can slaughter the unarmed demons they took hostage. Like his kin, he was made to believe Mael was killed by Estarossa. In the present day, Ludoshel was sealed within an altar before he possesses the body of Margaret Liones by promising to help her rescue Gilthunder. He then proceeds to gather new Stigma members for the new Holy War. He eventually leads Merlin, Escanor, Hendrickson and Gilthunder in order to stop Meliodas becoming the new demon king. He even states that he can not allow Meliodas to live after their victory. He fights Zeldris and defeat him as he teams with Escanor. But once remembering Mael and Estrarossa are the same person, Ludoshel ends being purged from Margaret's body when Hendrickson took advantage of the Archangel's moment of weakness. Though Hendrickson offer his body for Ludoshel, he heals the human instead and continues fighting in his partially restored physical form against the First Demon before reuniting with Mael as sacrifices himself and Deadly Sins fight the Demon King's attack and fades away soon after the battle ends.

Three millennia after the ancient war, Tarmiel ended up sealed within the staff of Arbus whom he possessed after the man was killed by demons and joins Ludoshel in forming a new Stigma.

Three millennia after the ancient war, Sariel ended up sealed within the lute of a girl named Solaseed. Sariel tricks Solaseed into allowing him to use her body until he is able to reconstitute enough of his physical form, tricking her with the promise of curing her illness. Sariel then joins Ludoshel in forming a new Stigma. While he and Tarmiel battle Estarossa, latter learning him to be Mael, Sariel is forced to leave Solaseed's body after his Grace began affecting her via accelerated growth into an adult woman.
