- #2Cath
Keys: Bakeneko」, Monster Cat「化け猫, Beastly Tyrant「獣の暴君, Kemono no Bōkun」 (by the Lady of the Lake)
BIOLOGICAL DESCRIPTION RACE Cat-like Purgatory Monster GENDER Genderless (Referred as Male) AGE Unknown STATUS Reassimilated by Chaos BIRTHDAY August 17 HEIGHT 25 cm (10 in) WEIGHT 5 kg (11 lbs) HAIR COLOR White/Red EYE COLOR Red (real form) BLOOD TYPE AB STATUS RELATIONSHIPS Chaos (creator) AFFILIATION Chaos Arthur Pendragon (formerly) OCCUPATION Arthur's pet (formerly) ABILITIES Telekinesis Telepathy Energy Manipulation Regeneration
Cath「キャス」 is Arthur Pendragon's pet that he gained after training in Istar.
His real identity is Cath Palug「鉤爪で掻き毟る怪猫キャス・パリーグ, Kyasu Parīgu; lit. "The Monstrous Feline who Rakes with Hooked Claws"」, a cat-like monster created by Chaos as a manifestation of its obsessive desire for power and destructive nihility.
Following Arthur's reawakening, Cath revealed its hidden nature and sought to devour Arthur in order to become Chaos' new vessel, succeeding in devouring his right arm and stealing a fragment of Chaos, enough to grant it god-like abilities that made it powerful enough to require the combined efforts of Arthur, Elizabeth and six of the Seven Deadly Sins to defeat it.
Ultimately, Cath couldn't be killed due to the fragment granting him the ability to transcend life and death, thus requiring Arthur to instead devour Cath by allowing the creature to return back to Chaos from whence it came, after Arthur tricked it into admitting his own defeat.
Appearance
Cath appears to be just a head with a tail. It has a yellow nose, white fur with red spots and black eyes.
After eating a piece of Chaos, Cath grows in size, getting a long tail that ends in three points, white eyes, a big mouth with sharp misaligned fangs and a long tongue.
In his real form, Cath Palug is a gigantic bobcat-like creature with dotted patterns across his body. He has a long tail that ends in three points, big pointy ears, red eyes and eight legs.
Personality
At first, Cath remains mostly silent most of the time, with the exception of sneezing at times. He prefers to stay on Arthur's head (and later his shoulder), and has refused to leave Arthur's side. Cath has the ability to talk, and has stated he is happy that Arthur is growing stronger. Cath appears to enjoy chewing on Arthur's hair and his cape.
However, when Arthur becomes the King of Chaos, Cath reveals his true colors as an evil, greedy and wild monster. He reveals that he remained by Arthur's side and protected him only to be able to devour him as soon as he awakened the power of Chaos so he could bring about mass destruction for no other reason just because he could.
He is also sadistic, mocking Arthur about Camelot's destruction in the first fight between the Seven Deadly Sins and the Demon King and takes joy in the young king's despair and tells him that there is no point as everything, even the gods, eventually die and that even if the Sins and the Demon King hadn't destroyed Camelot, something else would have, so that he will finally make Arthur lose hope and take all of Chaos from him.
History
Cath Palug was originally a creature born from the Mother of Chaos as the incarnation of the desire and obsession for power, to the point where it wished to become the King of Chaos itself. The tyrant beast challenged Chaos, but lost the fight and was banished. However, Cath Palug continued its misdeeds and was eventually sealed away by the Goddess Clan in Purgatory. It's unknown how it escaped from the seal or how Arthur managed to find it after training in Istar.
Plot Istar arc
After Arthur and Gowther have completed their training and return to the group, Cath is on top of Arthur's head. Merlin asks Arthur what the strange object on top of his head is, and Arthur and Gowther merely reply that it is a mystery.
After leaving Istar, Gowther tries to remove Cath from Arthur's head, but cannot do so and only ends up hurting Arthur. Gowther notes that Cath seems to be stuck to Arthur.
Great Fight Festival arc
Cath remains on Arthur's head throughout the Great Fight Festival.
Defensive Battle for Liones arc
Cath is still with Arthur when Nanashi and other Camelot knights fight against a horde of Gray Demons. Upon hearing it speak, Arthur is surprised and Nanashi affirms that Arthur would not die while Cath is with him. When the group is forced to retreat before the arrival of a Blue Demons horde, Cath agrees with Arthur that he must become stronger.
Prelude to the New Holy War arc
Cath, along with Arthur, is hidden in an underground shelter with the other survivors of Camelot. When Arthur arrives with Orlondi, Cath launches on this and keeps quiet about showing off.
Cath accompanies Arthur when he decides to go on his own to the castle of Camelot and recover the holy sword Excalibur. Being caught in the Marchen Maze of Peronia, Cath takes advantage when Arthur is attacked by a Gray Demon to approach Peronia from behind and devour her.
After entering the castle, Arthur and Cath are surprised by Zeldris and Cusack. Cath decides to give Arthur the possibility of running away by levitating several objects around and attacking the demons with them. However, Cath is defeated and seriously injured.
When Arthur is able to wield Excalibur, he gives several cuts to Cusack to retrieve Cath and take him out of the castle. Arthur apologizes to him for making him suffer, to which Cath tells him he is hungry and Arthur says they will eat when they are finished.
After Arthur failed to defeat the demons, Cath points out that his magical power is still not awake and that he will not win if it does not wake up. When Arthur suffers the effects of brandishing Excalibur, Cath sends a telepathic message to Merlin warning her that Arthur will die.
When Merlin manages to remove Cusack with her Icicle Castle, Cath is teleported with Arthur to the Boar Hat in Liones. Hawk is alarmed to see him hurt but Cath insists that they must worry about Arthur. However, Arthur falls victim to Cusack's Resonant, piercing his own heart with Excalibur. Cath looks horrified to see such a fact.
When Arthur dies, Hawk tries to comfort Cath, but it is intimidated by the monstrous expression of the cat.
King of Chaos arc
Cath remains next to Arthur's body in the Boar Hat, until Merlin decides to carry out Arthur's awakening as the "King of Chaos". Seeing Arthur alive, Cath rejoices and jumps into his arms, but surprisingly tries to devour him. Meliodas manages to save Arthur, but Cath ends up ripping an arm off and eating it, undergoing a monstrous transformation. The Lady of the Lake tells them that they must retrieve the arm or they will soon know how powerful even a fragment of Chaos can be.
After the Lady of the Lake reveals his true identity as the monster Cath Palug, Arthur asks Cath to stop since there must be a good reason for what he is doing since he protected him with his life. However, Cath Palug reveals that he only did so that Arthur could awaken as the King of Chaos, since he would not have had a good taste by devouring him otherwise. The monster then asks an affected Arthur if he can eat him now, creating a pocket dimension with the fragment of Chaos he had devoured and sucking Arthur as well as the Sins in it. There, Arthur asks him what he is to him, to which Cath Palug replies that he is food that he has been waiting patiently for and asks to let him eat without disturbance.
Arthur then destroys the dimension with a reincarnated Excalibur. Cath Palug is amazed and asks Arthur to let him eat every part of him. Arthur says that upon hearing that, he feels he can kill him without any regret. When Cath Palug throws himself at him, Arthur cuts him with Excalibur, apparently destroying his body in pieces.
Later, after Merlin sends Elizabeth, the Sins and Hawk back to Liones, she brings Arthur to rest inside one of the towers he unconsciously created but it is attacked when Cath appears, still alive and transformed further due to still possessing Arthur's arm within its body. Cath declares that he can smell Arthur inside and and asks him to go out and play again since he will not lose this time, only for Merlin to attack him and declaring herself to be its opponent.
After avoiding Merlin's many attacks, Cath surprises her from behind and gives her a slap, but Merlin teleports behind him and attacks him with a lightning bolt. Cath does not suffer any damage and responds with a ray of energy from her mouth. The monster claims that Merlin is not who he wants to play with. Arthur jumps there saying that he must be, since he must end Cath to amend his mistake of taking him with him.
Although Arthur cuts it back into pieces with Excalibur, Cath quickly regenerates himself saying he can't beat him that way. Arthur vows to defeat him no matter what, since it is his duty as king to protect his kingdom and his people from all those who threaten them. Cath then laughs saying he has already lost all that, revealing that Camelot was destroyed in the battle against the Demon King. Arthur is shocked by it, to which Cath tells him to use Chaos' power to confirm that his words are true.
As Arthur loses his will to the truth in spite of Merlin's words, Cath tries to crush him with his paw but soon withdraws it from the heat of the surrounding aura. Merlin attacks him again, but he dodges and knocks her down with a tail hit. Cath then releases a large bunch of beams from his mouth, but they are all reflected by Meliodas' Full Counter who arrives with the Sins and Elizabeth to help Merlin.
Cath Palug starts to regenerate stating that he is sick and tired of everyone always getting in his way. He then asks Arthur if he is really that shocked about losing his country and people, since all countries eventually fall, and that even if the Demon King and Sins had not done so, he himself, someone else, a meteor or perhaps the ocean itself would have destroyed it anyway. Arthur asks what he wants to reach, to which Cath Palug tells him that everything is the same. Arthur asks what he means and Cath Palug says he is warning him to give up fighting the inevitable given that regardless of the route taken, everyone eventually dies. Arthur asks if he should then just let him devour him and be fine with that, to which Cath Palug responds in the affirmative.
Ban and Meliodas interrupt pretending to start the fight by saying they have talked enough. Complaining about them being boring, Cath Palug encloses everyone within an illusion. Meliodas specifically dreams of Merlin suspending Cath Palug in time, then each departing on his own path, marrying Elizabeth himself only to see her die when she reaches old age before him. Cath Palug then attacks the kingdom and fights with Meliodas mocking that he is alone because in that chaotic world there are no constants and everyone finally leaves as if they had never been. However, the voices of his loved ones tell Meliodas that he will never be alone because their bonds will never break. This awakens Meliodas from the illusion, surprising Cath Palug.
Arthur and Meliodas still intend to defeat him, but Cath Palug says it's useless since they can't kill him. He declares that he will devour Arthur to unify with Chaos and devour everything. However, when Cath throws himself at them, Arthur says he discovered how to beat him.
Cath mocks his claim by asking if he plans to burn him, melt him, crush him, hit him into pieces or all of the above. He says he will devour him before he has the chance, invoking Chaos' power to open the dimension in his mouth. Arthur says that the only one to be devoured is Cath, and then invokes Chaos to create the same type of dimension with a mouth that begins to absorb Cath. Arthur says that if he can't defeat him then he will absorb it and at the same time recover the Chaos that he stole from him.
Cath Palug says that Chaos' power belongs to him and that as its direct offspring, he is the only one who deserves to have it. Arthur then asks him what he wants to do with that power to which Cath says he intends to destroy everything, leading Merlin to elucidate that Cath Palug is nothing more than a desire for destruction born of Chaos. Cath asks Arthur what he is planning, if he didn't learn his lesson, to create a new kingdom that will eventually succumb. Cath says that all his beloved subjects now hate him as the useless king who could not protect his people or his kingdom. Arthur says he does not want others to recognize him as a good king, but to create an everlasting kingdom in which everyone can be happy. Cath calls him stupid, saying that nothing is everlasting and that such a kingdom is a contradiction, to the point of it being Chaos. Cath is then silent when he becomes aware of what he admitted and as Arthur declares himself the King of Chaos, Cath Palug is completely absorbed and devoured by Chaos.
Abilities/Equipment
Cath has telekinetic abilities, being able to levitate multiple objects around him. He also possesses telepathic abilities, being able to mentally send a message to Merlin in Liones from Camelot.
After devouring Arthur's right arm, Cath absorbed a fragment of Chaos itself. With it, Cath was able to create a pocket dimension in his mouth that sucks his targets inside; or entrap them inside visions of their possible futures. He also obtained incredible regeneration abilities overcoming immortality, being able to rebuild his body even after being cut into pieces. Merlin goes so far to say that he becomes a being that transcends life and death itself.
In his gigantic form, Cath possesses incredible physical strength and endurance, being able to withstand Merlin's magical attacks without apparent injury. He is also very fast, being able to evade Merlin's attacks and attack her by surprise without her anticipating. In this form he can also launch energy attacks from his mouth.

Relationships Arthur Pendragon
Originally, Cath found Arthur during his training in Istar and refused to let go of him no matter what and never said a word to him, until a month after Meliodas' death where he compliments Arthur on his fight against the Demons, saying he would like him to become stronger which shocks Arthur as he didn't know Cath could talk before then.
Since then, Cath has remained attached to Arthur's shoulder and only lets go when he's hungry and wants to feed, usually by eating anything or anyone he sees as "tasty", such as the demon Peronia. After infiltrating the castle of Camelot, Cath risks himself to buy Arthur time to get to the sword and shows intense rage over Arthur's death after Cusack uses his magic to run Excalibur through his heart.
After Merlin resurrects Arthur as the "King of Chaos", Cath appears very relieved at Arthur's return to the living world but immediately attempts to devour him and reveals the only reason he was near Arthur was to take the power of Chaos for himself after it awoke. Even going as far as to say he sees Arthur as nothing but food.
Right before his defeat, Cath shows extreme desperation to reject Arthur's power from taking back the fragment he took and mocks Arthur's claim at building an "everlasting kingdom", saying it is contradiction and describing it as "Chaos" before being promptly absorbed back into Chaos from whence he came.

Hawk「ホーク」, born Mild「マイルド」, is a talking pig, Meliodas's companion, and the custodian of the Boar Hat bar who helps clean up the disgusting food scraps left by customers. He is later revealed to be a pig-like creature from Purgatory who was stolen as an infant by the Demon King to spy on Meliodas, and thus the lost brother of Wild.
Appearance
Hawk is a relatively large pink pig who wears an earring with the words star boar on his left ear. His body is well rounded and his legs are fairly short. His charming point is the clover-shaped birthmark on his rump. His body and appearance are similar to a typical Gloucestershire Old Spots Pig. Like his mother, his ears are shown to be M-shaped.
After his fight against Hendrickson, the original "Star Boar" ear tag is replaced with Balor's Magical Eye.
Personality
Hawk is shown to be an easily annoyed pig as seen when Meliodas lies in jest, does perverted things to Elizabeth and when Elizabeth is being airheaded. He also appears to care a lot for his friends and seems to be a mama's boy occasionally crying for help from his mom. Hawk tends to have a big ego and is prideful, claiming that he is stronger than the Deadly Sins and even joked that his strength to be in the same class as the Demon King but tends to be very frightened when someone far stronger than him attacks.
History Hawk kidnapped by the Demon King
Hawk was born in the Purgatory under the name Mild「マイルド, Mairudo」 and lived with his older brother, Wild. Before Hawk could remember him, he was kidnapped by the Demon King and sent to the Living World to act as his window to spy on his eldest son, Meliodas, through his eyes.
Ten years ago, Hawk used to live together peacefully with his mother in an unknown forest until he spotted an unconscious knight, Meliodas, who was laying on the side of the road and dragged him back to his home, a cave somewhere near Camelot. Once Meliodas was awake, the two ended up speaking with one another, where Hawk mentioned that he felt like he used to fly in the sky, thinking he was a Dragon back in his past life, when Meliodas thought he was Wandle. The two argued over Hawk's name, until Hawk mentioned a restaurant named Pig Leg where Hawk loved the leftovers, which led Meliodas and Hawk to team up and work together, since Meliodas can't work as a knight anymore due to an incident in Liones. They decided to open up the bar "The Boar Hat", named after the restaurant Hawk mentioned by selling his Sacred Treasure and building it on the back of Hawk's mother. Since then, Hawk and Meliodas became partners in business, as Meliodas is the owner while Hawk is the cleaner who eats the leftovers.
Abilities and Equipment
As a pig, he has a very sensitive nose which he claims is capable of smelling objects, such as leftovers, up to 1.2 miles away. His nose has proven useful and valuable in combat as he is capable of searching for enemies and tracing where they are. Hawk is shown to be very skilled at making dresses. He is capable of using his hooves and ears as hands to hold things such as a hammer and even used it to seal Meliodas in a barrel. He is capable of ramming into any opponent, using this skill to take out Alioni and his teammates on his own.
It was recently revealed that Hawk has a connection with the Purgatory. According to Merlin, Hawk is, in fact, a living portal between the world of the living and the Purgatory. Due to this, someone in one of the two realms can observe the other through Hawk's eyes, as the Demon King did to watch over Meliodas. Merlin was able to use a spell to send Ban to the Purgatory through Hawk.
Being a creature from the Purgatory, Hawk is an incredibly resilient survivor, being able to resist Hendrickson's Dead End. Meliodas claims that the Demon King designated him as his surveillance route because of his resistance compared to the ordinary animals he used to use.

Relationships Boar Hat Meliodas
Meliodas and Hawk's relationship has its ups and downs. They tend to fight a lot, but they seem to care about each other. They recognize each other as companions, but Hawk is shown to be a subordinate to Meliodas. Hawk strongly values his relationship with Meliodas, having sacrificed his life to protect Meliodas from a fatal attack. They work together at the Boar Hat.
Elizabeth
Elizabeth loves talking piggies and appears to adore Hawk as a pet. He is very protective of Elizabeth acting like a fatherly figure while reprimanding Meliodas on his lecherous acts towards the princess of Liones to the point that he tied up Meliodas each night before bedtime with Elizabeth.
Hawk Mama
Not much is currently known about the nature of their bond, but it seems that he loves his mother very much, calling her whenever he is badly injured or needing help. It seems the reason that Hawk has such a high opinion of his own strength is that he thinks he will become as strong as she is.
Seven Deadly Sins Ban
At first, Hawk was annoyed with Ban for freaking out over his ability to talk. However, they soon get along with each other fairly well, regarding each other as trustworthy companions, and that Ban even calls Hawk "Master." They are willing to support each other, as shown when Hawk carries Ban whenever he is drunk or exhausted. Hawk was disgusted at Ban's acceptance of the request from the Goddess Clan, to kill Meliodas, and tried to stop him, but Hawk knew he wasn't strong enough.
Diane
Hawk has a strange relationship with Diane at first, as he fears her eminently for her love of pork and trying to eat him, but the two soon begin to get along with one another. Because of that bond, Diane saves and protects him on a few occasions.
King
King and Hawk seem to share a good, yet odd friendship, as sometimes King calls him Mr. Pig, Little Porker, or Little Piggy in such a manner, much to Hawk's annoyance. Despite this though, the two are close and are on good terms with each other.
Gowther
Hawk and Gowther have a friendly, yet strained relationship. This is mostly due to Hawk's dislike of Gowther's lack of empathy and weird behavior, and how he disregarded his sacrifice during the battle against Hendrickson, yet he seems to have let that go since. The two of them seem to be almost surprisingly close, enough that during their battle at the Great Fighting Festival, Hawk spent the majority of the tournament match trying to talk Gowther out of attacking him and Escanor, despite knowing how emotionless Gowther can be. Despite this, Gowther simply apologized to Hawk and coldly stated his intent to continue the fight, knocking him and Jericho out to avoid dealing with them and to focus solely on Escanor. After regaining his emotions and memories, like with Elizabeth, Gowther's friendship with Hawk has become less strained and more genuine in nature.
Merlin
Hawk and Merlin have a good relationship. Merlin sees Hawk as a hero for saving Meliodas and believes that they should stick together due to both being 'boars.' And as such, Merlin often indulged Hawk by performing experiments on him to see the results or giving Hawk some eccentric items from her collection to use that are suited for him.
Escanor
Like Elizabeth, Hawk met Escanor during the Great Fighting Festival in Vaizel, being partnered with him during the festival. Their first impressions of one another during the festival were poor. Hawk viewed Escanor as a weakling and Escanor, in turn, was both confused and frightened by the fact the Hawk was a talking pig. However, after seeing Escanor's true power during the festival, and after seeing Hawk's bravery during the events and how he carried him around for the remainder of the festival, the two quickly became close friends. Though Hawk is just as wary of Escanor's power as everyone else, he feels comfortable enough around Escanor's daytime form to travel around him closely and have conversations with him. Escanor, in turn, shares this closeness with Hawk, confiding to Hawk about his feelings towards Merlin and asking him if he would see if she felt the same way, although Hawk did point out how shameless and forceful he was acting considering that he was asking for a favor. He even cried and was in denial when he had heard Escanor died.
Others Oslo
At first, Oslo sees Hawk as food and someone to mess around with, aka, eating his meals. However, after training with him at Istar and defeating a Tyrant Dragon by eating its inside, Oslo grows to respect Hawk, calling him big bro or captain, somewhat joining his Knights of Leftovers. They grew to like each other so much that Hawk cried when Oslo was killed by Mael, stating that he sacrificed himself to protect King.

In urban English, Hork can be defined as to vomit. This has a reference to the manga, as he is frequently shown to clean up the customer's vomit. According to the second databook(s): Weak Point: Leftovers Birthplace: Hawk Mama's belly It is revealed later that he actually was born in Purgatory. What he likes about himself: His looks Dream/Hope: Become the strongest pig Regrets: He wanted to defeat Hendy by himself The most embarrassing thing in his life: Nothing What he wants the most right now: Leftovers Favorite animal: Humans Favorite scent: Leftovers Hawk is not a big fan of beef. According to Nakaba Suzuki, if Hawk was to possess an ability, it would be the ability to devour ten times as many leftovers and make leftovers float.

Hawk Mama「ホークママ」 is Hawk's mother and the extremely large, green pig who transports the Boar Hat bar. She is introduced to live underground and transports the bar Boar Hat with her head. So far, her name remains unknown but she has gained many aliases.

She eventually reverted back to her original state as inanimate moss once her essence, Chaos, was freed from its prison and took on a new vessel: Arthur Pendragon.
Appearance
Hawk Mama is a humongous pig who wears the Boar Hat bar like a hat. Like Hawk, her ears are shown to be M-shaped. She is depicted to have lime green colored skin; this is because she is a shell composed of multiple layers of moss.

Powers and Abilities
They appear to be a strong race, with sharp instincts and great speed, being able to avoid most attacks. They also seem to have the ability to take human form and switch back to their original form any time they like, however this may be an ability unique to Werefoxes as they are the only species of Beastman seen in the series and foxes in Japanese myth are famous for their ability to transform themselves into other creatures.
However, likely due to their animal like nature, Beastmen seemingly have much shorter lifespans when compared to humans. Despite only being 65, an age many humans live well past, and having been a fairly strong Beastman, Zhivago still died of old age, however it is unknown if this is true for all Beastman or if it varies based on the type of Beastman, as only Werefoxes have been seen in the show and thus no conclusion can be accurately made with such a small sample size. Beastmen from Other Dimensions seems to have much longer lifespans as, per example, Camila has lived for 5,000 years.

She occasionally acts like a mother-figure to the group, especially with Roxy and Eastin.
History
Camila is the guardian deity of the Beastmen and worshiped by them on her original world, however, she slowly fell into oblivion after the continuous demise of the Beastmen race. Embittered on her followers being annihilated after failing on protecting them, she is called by a mysterious voice that promises her to fulfill Camila's wish to take revenge on humanity in return for her help to destroy their own world. The voice is latter revealed to be Lilia, aiming for the final member of the Seven Disasters. Camila is initially hostile to the Disaster, but she quickly accepts her offer after observing Lilia's power and ideology, agreeing to be summoned to Britannia. The mage, however, is unable to complete the summoning due to Camila's immense magical power and the otherworldly girl is teleported to to a unknown forest in Britannia.
Later, Camila presences some worshipers of Bellenus hunting villagers to use them as sacrifice for their God. When she prepares to intervine, Escanor appears and the fanatics run away. She later asks Escanor about Lilia, but the Lion Sin of Pride refuses to listen to her request and Camila decides to battle him in order to take the information she desires by force.
Later, Merlin, Ban and Meliodas, reunites with Escanor and Camila, however, right after the Boar Sin advise Camila to not trust on Lilia, the Disaster appears to take Camila away and after a brief battle, Valenti intervenes, allowing her friend to escape once more and, now in the Timespace Junction, Lilia and Valenti welcomes Camila as their final member.

On her human form, she is able to manipulate shadows, materializing them as weapons such as blades and whips. In her beast form, her strength and speed appears to increase drastically.

Seven Deadly Sins Escanor
Camila finds Escanor's arrogance amusing even if she does not understand why someone like him would be so arrogant about themselves.
Trivia Camila's bestial form resembles Anubis, the Egyptian God of Death. Camila is the oldest non-godly character to date in the series. And consequently, the oldest member of the Catastrophes. Originally when showcased as a silhouette with the other Catastrophes, Camila can be seen holding a crossbow. Something that as of now she can not use in game indicating an earlier version of her meant to have a crossbow instead. It is assumed that she is based on the 5th Disaster of the "Perceiver of the World’s Sounds" chapter of the Lotus Sutra which talks about being attacked by Yaksha and other Demons. As Yaksha are said to have been "Guardian Deities". With other definitions talking about Eclipses, explaining her shadow magic. At some point earlier in her life, she lived in a cave. Camila used to help raise other Beastmen children and would make them all hold hands if they were arguing. These tactics she uses to attempt and help Eastin and Roxy's conflict.

Thankfully, he is nursed back to health, and proceeds to explain everything to the Sins. However, word about him traveling in the Boar Hat gets attention of Sigurd, who demanded Fenrir to be surrendered to him.

Later on, he helps Ban to look for an antidote to dispell Sigurd's curse on Meliodas.

Zhivago「ジバゴ」 is a Werefox who was imprisoned at the Aberdeen Prison and who raised Ban in his youth and taught him how to steal.
Appearance
Zhivago in his human form appears to be a young man with short spiky hair that's covered by a bandana. He wears an open shirt with a patterned collar above a dark V-neck shirt, a belt at the waist, and dark trousers with a pair of light colored boots.
However, this is not his true form. Zhivago is a beastman, specifically a werefox, having the features of a yellow colored fur walking fox with a peculiarly large neck.
When he reunites with Ban, he wears a simple ragged hooded cloak.
Personality
Zhivago seems to be caring, sharing some food with a young Ban, despite not knowing who he is. This is further proven when he offers Ban to bust out of the prison with him. He also shows great morality and kindness as he was greatly pleased when Ban told him that he trusts him. However, despite considering Ban a son of his, Zhivago knew his priorities and went to save his own son rather than Ban when a band of knights found out his son's home.
History
Sometime before Ban was imprisoned, Zhivago was in there as well and had apparently found a way to escape the prison.
At Aberdeen Prison, Zhivago saw Ban in his same cell, where he offered the boy some food which Ban accepted gluttonously. He asked Ban if he wanted to bust out of the prison with him and commented on Ban's not so childish eyes. He asked the boy his name and when Ban returned the question, he stated that his name is Zhivago. Successfully escaping the prison, Zhivago took Ban to his hideout where he offered him more food. He told Ban that he has a son around his age and asked him his age, but Ban didn't know himself while Zhivago commented on his rude mouth then telling him to never speak of this hideout.
While Ban was kidnapped and being taken to Lady Roxanu to be sold, Zhivago, being the bandit he is, robbed the cargo he was on. Ban busted out of the barrel and Zhivago was surprised to see him there, taking him away and again helping him with food while mocking him. Ban asked Zhivago to teach him how to steal, but the latter warned him about its consequences and how his life will never be the same. Ban fell asleep soon after.
Zhivago unintentionally saves Ban again.
The next day, Zhivago was showing off his stealing to Ban. However, when Ban tried to steal, he ended up getting caught and Zhivago snatched him back. At the hideout, Zhivago told Ban about the Fountain of Youth and its guardian saint much to Ban's fancy who suggested they go drink it but Zhivago warned of the guardian again. Ban asked him about his son again and Zhivago responded that his name is Selion, and that he's a shy and sweet boy. He continued to say that he has another kid, a mean brat with a sulky look on his face and a foul mouth, and that his name is Ban. He explained why he only visits his home at nighttime, and that his son knows of his theft habit. He asked Ban if he trusts humans and Ban replied that he trusts him, which caused Zhivago to force the boy into his embrace, telling him to get some sleep for the next day.
The following day however, Zhivago had overslept and rushed quickly to where he was supposed to meet Ban, but it was too late. He overheard that a Werefox offspring was sighted in the mountains with the group of knights heading there to dispatch it, and saw Ban getting beaten severely by the guards. To save his son, or the kid whom in him he trusts? Zhivago discarded his human form in public and rushed to the mountains, crying for Ban to forgive him. By the time he got there and killed the knights, Selion was already at the verge of death, dying in his arms soon after.
Plot Ravens arc
Zhivago is blamed as the being who revived a dead person, and as soon as Ban hears that, he beats up the humans ganging up on him and takes him to the inn. There, Zhivago has already stolen Jericho's wallet which Ban retrieves for her. Ban asks him if he's really brought a dead person back to life and the Werefox replies that humans are stupid entities, blaming whatever they don't understand on Beastmen like him. When he goes to leave, he collapses due to illness and is quickly put to bed. He tells Ban that humans will never know how it feels to live only on stealing.
Zhivago cries as reunites with Ban
He tells them that he didn't expect humans to sympathize with a Beastman, and that he can finally join his sons in the afterlife. Jericho questions again and he tells her that he had two wonderful sons before. He tells Ban that his eyes remind him of one of them's, proceeding that had that kid been alive he'd be a man at the prime of his life. He tells Jericho that the boy is more than likely dead, and that he was too afraid to show his face in the village again, had he made a different choice he wouldn't have lost everything.
Ban interrupts and tells him that he made the right choice, Zhivago, annoyed by his response, hears Ban saying that had he abandoned his true son to come save him, he wouldn't have forgiven him which shocks him greatly. Ban continues to say that he never hated nor resented him, and he was his ideal father, which puts the Werefox into tears who hugs the Deadly Sin, realizing that his wonderful, bad-mouthed son is standing before him.
Zhivago dies due to old age
After a heartwarming father and son reunion, Zhivago and Ban talk about the rumors of dead people coming back to life, such as a deceased wife who strangled her husband to death and an order of killed knights wandering around. He notices Jericho and asks if she's Ban's lover, to which Ban bluntly denies, much to her dismay. The Beastman notices Ban's physique of a 20 year old when he's supposed to be in his 40s, which Ban confirms that he drank the Fountain of Youth and became immortal, much to Zhivago's shock, confirming its existence to the old Beastman. However, Ban tells Zhivago about what he did to Meliodas to save Elaine, and how Meliodas forgave him even though he doesn't deserve it. Zhivago tells Ban that he has such a wonderful friend, continuing that he should not hate himself and that he should just ask for forgiveness. Zhivago says that these are his last words to him as his father.
Galand eating Zhivago's soul
Later, Ban pays his farewell to the Beastman in his grave while pouring booze on it. However, when Ban's soul was extracted by Melascula, Zhivago's soul (in his human form) switched places with it to allow the Fox's Sin of Greed to live, sacrificing his only chance of seeing his son in the afterlife. Despite Ban's futile and teary protest, Zhivago's soul was then eaten by Galand.
Abilities and Equipment
Zhivago is an exceptionally skilled thief in his prime that he can steal anything in a blink of an eye without leaving any suspicion from his targets. As a Beastman, he is fast and can assume a human form and revert back at any time. He is also skilled in close combat, while his frail build and advanced years make it difficult to fight larger opponents, he can dodge blows with split second reactions, making it appear he took a blow and feigning injury to avoid further scrutiny.
Abilities Hide Cloak「隠密ハイドクローク, Haido Kurōku」: Details about this power are unknown. Relationships Ban
Zhivago taught Ban how to steal and made him into a bandit. He held him dearly and considered him his own son. He had saved Ban from being sold to a child-killing noblewoman and despite protesting Ban's desire to learn how to steal, he taught him how to rob people without being noticed and how to burgle houses. He had grown close to Ban however he never revealed his secret as a werefox to him. Upon discovering that both Ban and his own son were in danger, he transformed in the city and ran to save his son who'd been found in the hills nearby, running away with tears streaming as he had to abandon Ban. After nearly 30 years later, he is found again by Ban and dies after realizing who he was and apologizing for his choice all those years ago.
Jericho
Zhigavo had at first thought that Jericho was Ban's girlfriend. He told his story about his past to her before passing.
Selion
He loved his son very much. His son was aware of his actions as a thief but as they were werefoxes, he had little else in ways to support his son. He mourned the loss of his son and sacrificed his chance to see him in the afterlife to save Ban.
Trivia Zhivago is first mentioned in the first Side Story. He is the first Beastman introduced in the story. The name of his son, Selion is a play on words for 'therian' which is a person of the contemporary subculture of therianthropy, which is based on a spiritual and/or psychological identification with animals. According to the databook(s) Charm Point: His breed Complex: Being a fox man Respects: No one Doesn’t want as his enemy: Humans The name is likely a reference to the well-known novel, "Dr. Zhivago", written by Boris Pasternak.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION PRIMARY ABILITIES Power of Darkness Hellblaze Soul Stealing Indura Transformation RULER Zeldris and Gelda Demon King † (formerly) LOCATION Demon Realm (homeland) Dalflare Range Village
The Demon Clan「魔神族, Majin-zoku」 is one of the five major races in the world of Nanatsu no Taizai.
Overview
According to the Lady of the Lake, the Demon Clan and their homeland, the Demon Realm were created by the Demon King, after he was created by Chaos, alongside the Supreme Deity and Sacred Tree.
3,000 years ago, the Demon Clan constantly clashed with the Goddess Clan due to the bitter rivalry between their two rulers. Their elite group of warriors are the Ten Commandments, who were handpicked by the Demon King due to their power. Many demons consider themselves above those of other races for their great power, especially humans. However, the two legendary clans were largely evenly matched and thus a tentative balance was created. Besides the rare "non-aggression pacts" that the Goddess Clan were always the first to break after a while, the Demon Clan itself had the unfortunate habit of capturing members of the Divine Militia for the sole purpose of enslaving them and/or torturing them to death by exposing them to the poisonous miasmas of the Demon Realm.
At some point, the Vampires became allies yet subservients to the Demon Clan. When the leader of the Commandments, Meliodas, betrayed his own people for his alliance and relationship with the powerful goddess, Elizabeth, and severely crippled their strength by killing two members of the Ten Commandments when escaping, it indirectly caused two events: The Goddesses seized the opportunity to destroy the Demons once and for all, who waged a great war against the Goddess Clan after they allied with the Giant Clan, Fairy Clan and eventually the Humans. The Vampire Clan decided to rebel during this time as the Demon Clan got weaker, but still got single-handedly defeated and sealed away.
As a result, the Demon Clan was ultimately defeated by the Goddess Clan and their allied clans, being sealed away in the Coffin of Eternal Darkness for the next 3,000 years. In spite of their fate though, a few demons managed to escape from or avoid the seal completely, namely a single Red Demon, a single Gray Demon, and Fraudrin of the Ten Commandments. The latter would spend sixteen years trying to find a way to break the seal and to resurrect his clan, so they could take over the land of Britannia.
The Demon Clan conquering Britannia.
The other nine members of the Commandments were eventually resurrected when Hendrickson manages to break the seal. Their biggest threat on their way to conquer the continent once more was in fact one of their own kind; Meliodas, their former leader and the oldest son and heir of the Demon King, who was still alive thanks to the Supreme Deity's curse of eternal life.
After organizing a fighting festival to lure Meliodas into a trap, they managed to kill him and begin the conquest of Britannia in the following month, taking the souls of every human they come across in order to regain their strength. However, when the Ten Commandments tries to conquer the Kingdom of Liones, they are eventually stopped by the group formed with the goal of destroying them, the Seven Deadly Sins, as well as Meliodas who was resurrected due to his curse.
The remaining members of the Ten Commandments, Zeldris and Estarossa, took refuge in their established base in the Kingdom of Camelot, where they sacrificed human souls in order to completely break the seal and liberate the entire Demon Clan. Eventually, the fearsome Cusack and Chandler joins them, as did Meliodas, who had decided to become the new Demon King to break the curse on him and Elizabeth after making a deal with his brothers.
When the Four Archangels of the Goddess Clan "revive" to join Elizabeth, the Seven Deadly Sins and the humans against them, the Demon Clan faces a new Holy War.
While the lower limbs of the Demon Clan fight on the battlefield, Zeldris, Estarossa, Cusack and Chandler face the united forces of the Seven Deadly Sins and the Four Archangels. Estarossa is then revealed as the fourth member of the Archangels, Mael, whose identity had been altered 3,000 years ago by the demon Gowther. After removing Mael from the madness caused by the Commandments he had absorbed, he joins the fight against Zeldris and the unified Original Demon. Although both are defeated, Meliodas, who had managed to absorb the ten Commandments, is converted into the vessel of the Demon King.
Finally, with the defeat of the Demon King, the remaining members of the Demon Clan withdraw from Britannia, thus concluding the Holy War. However, the Demon King manages to revive once again by taking Zeldris as his new vessel and plans to conquer Britannia himself as its new god. To save his brother, Meliodas travels with Elizabeth to Lake Salisbury to stop his father and nearly loses Zeldris forever until the rest of the Sins appear and help Meliodas to convince Zeldris to fight against his father, alongside Gelda who appears to help free her lover from the Demon King's grasp and force him out of Zeldris' body.
In a last-ditch effort to destroy his traitorous sons, the Seven Deadly Sins, Elizabeth and Gelda, the Demon King uses the Commandments to possess the ground of Britannia itself but the Sins combine their energy together to destroy his subsitute vessel and Meliodas destroys the Commandments forever by sacrificing his godly power to ensure his father can never return again, thus ending the fight once and for all.
A few months after the Demon King's ultimate defeat, the Demon Realm was suddenly attacked by Dahlia and Dubs, then manipulated by the Supreme Deity, who enslaved many Demons, until they were all freed by Meliodas, Zeldris, Elizabeth and Gelda. The Demons forgave Meliodas' betrayal and swore allegiance to Zeldris and Gelda, but some who had fled the New Holy War preferred to remain hidden in a village atop the Dalflare Range.
Appearance
Many of the Demon Clan members have monstrous appearances. Lesser Demons seems to be quite diverse, each kind with its own appearance, easily identified by colors, such as Red Demons or Gray Demons.
However, Demons of higher ranking have mostly humanoid appearances, namely the Ten Commandments or Meliodas. Though, there are exceptions, as in Grayroad's case. Human-like demons can be distinguished from Humans by their pitch black eyes and black markings on their skin. However, when not in possession of a Commandment, the Demon princes Meliodas and Zeldris possess green eyes. Similarly, Derieri eyes also become regular colored when willingly removing her dark marks.
Physiology
Unlike humans and other races, all Demons have more than one heart. The number of hearts varies, although elite-class demons such as Meliodas and the Ten Commandments each have seven hearts. The removal or destruction of a single heart cannot incur death, although it is painful. Destroying all of a demon's hearts, regardless of their strength, will inevitably kill them. Although, high-ranking demons are able to survive almost anything besides the destructions of its seven hearts.
Some demons have black markings on their face, which vary from individual to individual. Because of its many uses, many demons find it convenient to keep their bodies or weapons cloaked in darkness constantly to various degrees, Demons that do such include members of the Ten Commandments: Grayroad, Melascula, Derieri and Monspeet, as well as a highest-ranking demon Cusack.
Demons are capable of living 1,000 years, having the second shortest lifespan of the five races, after humans. However there are exceptions like Chandler and Cusack both capable of living 6,000 years due to them originally being the Original Demon, an ancient and powerful Demon created by the Demon King himself.
Drinking the blood of a demon may give non-demon races enhanced strength and magical power, if they are compatible. If not, they will explode. Demonic blood may naturally or forcibly turn the drinker into a demon themselves, a process that can be reversed either by removing their demonic plant or through the power of the Goddesses. However a non-demon can learn to control demon blood given some time to control it shown when Guila was able to take on a demon form after sixteen years of controling demon blood within her and is able to use demonic abilities such as Hellblaze.

The Demon Clan is an extremely powerful race, only being on equal on power with the goddesses and being sealed by the cooperation of the latter with fairies, giants and humans. According to Chandler, a demon's power is at least two-fold greater at night.
Members of the Demon Clan share several common abilities:
Power of Darkness: Demons can create and manipulate a mysterious dark substance to enhance both their offensive and defensive abilities. It has been shown to form various weapons and to protect them from attacks that would otherwise cause serious injury. It can also be morphed into various shapes. Regeneration: Demons can use their darkness to piece severed body parts together and mend grave wounds, but are unable to regenerate destroyed hearts and any damage sustained accumulates unless one of them are similar to an immortal. According to Lancelot, high level demons would be just fine even if decapitated and easily be able to go back to normal. Flight: Demons may also use their own darkness to form wings, helicopter like blades, or simply for levitation, allowing them to fly. Purgatory Fire「煉獄の炎, Rengoku no Honoo」: A powerful, dark flame that never extinguish and is capable of negating regenerative abilities. It also can be invoked in the form of an enchantment. Soul Stealing: Demons are capable of forcing the souls of living creatures (even other demons) out of their body either by chanting an ancient spell to do so in mass or by simply touching the person whose soul they wish to take. Although, it seems stronger-willed souls are more difficult to steal, as show by Meliodas who shows resistance to Melascula's ancient curses. Eating souls allows them to replenish their magic and also gives them access to the person's memories, killing demons, through their core, releases any consumed souls. Poison Resistance: As they are naturally accustomed to miasma-rich environments, Demons can more easily survive poisons and toxins than Humans or Giants, such as the poisonous medicine concocted by Dana or Hendrickson's Acid. However, Demons can easily be poisoned by the miasma of Purgatory or the excretions of an Indura of Resentment. Indura Transformation: A secret taboo skill, only known to and allowed for a few of the highest ranked demons, such as the Ten Commandments. The user makes a contract by sacrificing six of their seven hearts, their original form, and ability to reason in exchange for great power. It can only be performed by upper-level demons, and one must have a power level of greater than 50,000 in order to perform the technique without dying. Once transformed, the Indura will not stop until every last bit of its life force has been used up. Control of Lesser Demons: Higher ranked clan members such as Chandler, Cusack, Zeldris, Gloxinia, Melascula and Monspeet are shown to be able to command lower ranked demons into doing their bidding. Possession: According to Sariel, high-ranked Demons, like Goddesses, are able to take human bodies as vessels and use them as their own. However, the vessel may have difficulty hosting these Demons, leading their bodies to undergo transformations or some abilities that are left behind.Unlike Goddesses who possess someone by consensus and use their own abilities through the vessel, Demons possess by force, and usually are unable to use their authentic power but that of the vessel. Magic Resistance: According to Gawain, Demons possess resistance to magical effects, though demons also have an element they are weakest too such as Chandler being weakest to lightning and Cusack to wind.

According to the Lady of the Lake, the Goddess Clan and their realm were created by the Supreme Deity thousands of year ago, shortly after she was created by Chaos, alongside the Demon King and the Sacred Tree.
3,000 years ago, the Goddess Clan constantly clashed with the Demon Clan due to the bitter rivalry between the Supreme Deity and the Demon King due to their innate "purpose" of maintaining a balance between light and darkness. Similar to the latter's Ten Commandments, this clan has their own elite unit, the Four Archangels, who even the Ten Commandments must be wary of, according to Monspeet. Despite often battling, most goddesses acted gentle towards humans and considered killing demons as a way to save them. However, the two legendary clans were largely evenly matched and thus a tentative balance was created. At some point in time, they broke a treaty with the Demon Clan, and even slaughtered many women and children they were holding as prisoners of war.
However, when Meliodas had betrayed his own people for his alliance and relationship with the Supreme Deity's daughter Elizabeth and severely crippled their strength by killing Aranak and Zeno, the rest of goddesses seized the opportunity to finally defeat the Demon Clan and instigated the Giant Clan, Fairy Clan and Humans against them, starting the Holy War.
As a result, the Demon Clan was ultimately defeated by the Goddess Clan and their allied clans and sealed away in the Coffin of Eternal Darkness for 3,000 years, realizing it was the only way to win after losing their strongest fighter Mael. Despite their victory, they lost much of their power and the ability to maintain their physical forms in order to seal the Demon Clan for 3,000 years. The souls of the Goddess Clan came to inhabit within objects, only being able to manifest themselves by taking the body of another being as a vessel.
According to Jelamet, a majority of the goddesses inhabit places called "Sky Palaces", where they lay dormant, as she made use of the gate in the altar to bring the remainder of the Goddess Clan to invade and control Britannia.
An unknown Goddess had taken possession of the Horn of Cernunnos to manipulate Humans and force them to attack Meliodas, but what happened to her after the destruction of the Horn is unknown. Jenna and Zaneri were two Divine Soldiers who chose to desert the Divine Militia, because they no longer agreed with their peers on the merits of the Holy War, and took possession of two human twins to hide from other Goddesses. Ironically, they took the opportunity to become the Leaders of the first Druids, who worship the Goddess Clan.
In the present day with Hendrickson unleashing the Ten Commandments by incompletely breaking the seal, the Four Archangels "revived" to join the reincarnation of Elizabeth, the Seven Deadly Sins and the other races against the Demon Clan, now facing a new Holy War. However, two of them lost their physical bodies again while it was revealed that the Archangel Mael is still alive and turned into one of the Ten Commandments. After the return of Mael, the leader of the Archangels also loses his physical form at the end of the new Holy War, making Mael possibly the last of the Four Archangels.
Following the defeat of Cath Palug, Orlondi is seen breaking out of the underground bunker in the ruins of Camelot and is seen helping Nanashi bring out the people where most were saved by Nanashi, as it is revealed he is actually a Goddess but for some reason there are four scars on his back where his wings used to be and claims it to be an old story as he was now nothing more than a wandering swordsman with no master.
Months after the end of the second Holy War, Mael returned to the Celestial Realm, where several Goddesses appear having recovered their physical forms and vow to follow Mael in his new mission of protecting the Celestial Realm.
Appearance and Physiology
Members of the Goddess Clan appear entirely human other than one pair, or more, of angel-like wings. Some Goddesses has been shown to have more divergent features, like Tarmiel, who possess multiple heads.
Higher ranking Goddesses are generally distinguished by their multiple pairs of wings. The number of wings and its size are generally indicators of a Goddess' power.
Whenever some Goddesses inhabits a physical vessel or whenever they use their magical powers, their eyes become orange and manifest a triskelion symbol.
It is suggested that the Goddesses have the longest lifespan among the five races, as each of the Four Archangels have lived for several thousands of years, even before the loss of their physical forms, longer than any Demon, Fairy, Giant or Human can live. Even so, the aging process can vary between individuals, like Sariel who maintains a childlike appearance despite being one of the oldest Goddesses.

Freyja (Via Holy Relic) Powers and Abilities
The Goddess Clan is an extremely powerful race able to stand on equal ground with the Demon Clan, although it required the cooperation of the fairies, giants and humans to seal them away after losing their strongest fighter. Despite their immense magic power, they need physical form to actually affect the world by their actions and according to Ludociel, the leader of the Four Archangels and one of the most powerful of his race, they aren't actual gods like the Demon King, Supreme Deity or the Sacred Tree. Also, despite their immense powers of healing, they are incapable of resurrecting the dead, despite one claiming to Ban that resurrecting a single fairy was no difficult task, likely as a means of tricking into slaying Meliodas for them. Members of the Goddess Clan share several common abilities :
Ark「聖櫃アーク, Āku; literally meaning "Holy Chest"」: An archetypal magic technique of the Goddess Clan that creates light particles, often envolving the target in a dazzling sphere of light that breaks apart their body. It mostly counteracts darkness by disintegrating, though it also can cause physical damage. Purge「浄化パージ, Pāji; literally meaning "Purify"」: A technique that erases "abominable" souls, such as vampires and demons. This technique was passed down to the Druids. Tensei no Izanai「転生てんせいの誘いざない, Tensei no Izanai; literally meaning "Invitation to Reincarnation"」: The closest thing to resurrection that a goddess is capable of, this technique that allows deceased souls to reincarnate in a new life with their memories of their past life intact. So far, it has only been used by Mael of the Four Archangels, who used it on Derieri and Oslo as to let fate decide if he deserves punishments for his sins, so that they may choose to come after him for revenge in their next life. Healing: This is the natural ability that all Godesses have allowing them to heal any living creature, even Demons, if controlled enough. They can heal any injuries, diseases and even curses. Invigorate「健やかなれ, Sukoyakanare」: By chanelling their healing power trough Ark, Goddesses can counteract negative effects, such as severe injuries either caused physical damage or miasma, to even strong poisonous acid. It can also recover health and stamina or clear a mind full of intense negative emotions such as hatred and madness. This power has the opposite effect on Demons when not controlled enough, hurting them and repelling their power. Tranquilize「安やすらかなれ, Yasurakanare」: By raising both their arms, a Goddess can create a purifying mist strong enough to expel centuries-worth of demonic miasma out of the target. Breath of Bless「祝福の息吹ブレス・オブ・ブレス, Buresu Obu Buresu」: A spell that only a high-ranking Goddess could use. The user gathers light in their palm to create some kind of symbol and blowing it over their desired target, with those affected get a magic power boost. The Demon Clan refers to this technique as Cheat Hope「ペテンの光チートホープ, Chīto Hōpu; literally "Scam Light"」 because it is also a brainwashing spell that turns the targets into fanatical zealots loyal to the Goddesses with no regard of their injuries and keep on fighting until they are broken and dead. Possession: By concluding a "consented pact" with an individual, a Goddess can use its body as a vessel to accommodate its disembodied soul, which allows it to "continue to live" until its original body can be reconstituted. However, according to Sariel, the more often the possessor uses its magic, the more likely the organism in its vessel will become "weakened or "destabilized", which can lead to certain physical changes, and sometimes even upon the death of the vessel. The more compatible the vessel is with the magic of the possessor, the latter will be able to deploy a significant magical strength, although not as powerful that with their original bodies. Flight: Given the nature of their wings, this allows the Goddesses to fly. The stronger ones even have the strength enough to carry a giant. Incantations Heaven's Return

Bestow upon me the Blessing of Light. I offer my body and soul to the Being of Light. Let them become its new vessel! Ranks in the Divine Militia Goddesses who have regained their forms, being brainwashed and sent by the Supreme Deity to destroy the Seven Deadly Sins and their allies for ending the Holy War.
The Divine Militia「神の民兵, Kami no Minpei」 is the name given to the military forces of the Goddess Clan when its members are sent to fight. Only three ranks of the Divine Militia are known:
Four Archangels
The Four Archangels「四大天使, Yon Daitenshi」 are the strongest and highest-ranking members of their race, outclassed only by the Supreme Deity herself or her daughter, Elizabeth. They have been each granted a power from the Supreme Deity known as a Grace.
Ludociel the Flash (Leader) Mael the Sun Sariel the Ocean Tarmiel the Tornado Divine Lance Corporal

Nerobasta † Jelamet Divine Soldier
Divine Soldier「神兵, Shinpei」 are Goddesses who serve the Four Archangels within the Divine Militia and are ranked below a Divine Lance Corporal.
Jenna (Deserted) Zaneri (Deserted) Trivia Despite their name referring to female deities, there are males among the Goddes Clan and are confirmed to not actually be gods, like their creator and ruler, the Supreme Deity. The first Goddesses to appear in the series seem inspired by the Valkyries of Norse Mythology, the Four Archangels seem to be inspired by the Angels of the Bible , but as a whole, the Goddess Clan are mainly inspired by the deities of Classical Mythology and Egyptian Mythology. Ironically, Valkyries would end up being introduced in the franchise as a separate race in Ragnarok: Fate of Gods. The triskelion in their eyes can be a reference to the Triple Goddess or to the Holy Trinity. As shown with Nanashi, a Goddess' wings can be removed as his back left four scars where his wings used to be but was still able to use Healing. Some other beings can become Goddesses like Freyja, who is able to become part Goddess through the use of a Holy Relic.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION PRIMARY ABILITIES Creation RULER Drole (former) Matrona (former) Diane (unofficially) LOCATION Megadozer (Eastern Tribe)
The Giant Clan「巨人族, Kyojin-zoku」 is one of the five major races in the world of Nanatsu no Taizai.
Overview
According to the Lady of the Lake, the Giant Clan was created by Chaos after it created the Supreme Deity, the Demon King and the Sacred Tree. However, Chaos grew disappointed with the Giants for being a wild race, slaves to their own power and knowing nothing other than inflicting pain on each other.
In Britannia, their societies are lead by great warrior chiefs. According to the myths, Drole was a highly respected ancestor of the Giant Clan, having developed a sacred dance with deep connections to nature and earth.
3,000 years ago, the Giant Clan allied with the Goddess Clan, Fairy Clan and Humans and fought against the Demon Clan and won with the Coffin of Eternal Darkness sealing the defeated demons.
The Giants live for battle and were often hired by humans of different kingdoms to provide them the battles to fight as mercenaries. As a result, however, the Giant Clan's status is currently in danger due to deaths in battle they could find.
Giants also live in world of Midgard of Yggdrasil where they reside in Jotunnheim but Ymir's wall blocked the giants out for thousands of years until it collapsed and break apart causing the giants to now invade the human kingdoms there.
Appearance
They are identical to humans with the exception that they are much larger in size. Their way of dress is similar to that of the Western Savage Tribe.
In rare cases, Giants can present more divergent features, like Drole who had a blue skin, four arms and a missing left eye.
Giants of Jotunnheim wear winter clothing due to the constant never ending winter.

Powers and Abilities Creation「創造クリエイション, Kurieishon」: Because of their connection to the Earth, Giants are able to freely manipulate it. Ice Magic: The Giants of Jotunheim, notably Skadi, are more capable of generating and manipulating ice to fashion complex weapons. Connection to Nature: According to Matrona and Sixtus, the Giants are particularly good at locating the positions of animals, plants and minerals within the earth. This ability can be greatly amplified by Drole's Dance. Strength and Durability: Giants are physically strong enough to lift several hundred pounds. If that same strength is reduced when Giants are reduced to human size, they can increase it tenfold by performing Drole's Sacred Dance. Longevity: Giants age fifty times slower than Humans. Trivia The Giants choose their leaders by having a fighting contest and the strongest wins. Like the Fairy Clan, most of the Giant Clan have no concept of wearing underwear either. Unlike the Demons, Fairies, and Goddesses, yet like the Humans, the Giant Clan were created by Chaos directly instead of it creating a "progenitor" that created their own respective race. Should they gain access to magic that shrinks them, giants are capable of reproducing with other races. Diane and King are the sole example. According to Sin, it is rare to see a Giant worship the Goddess Clan instead of nature itself, as Dolores is the only known Giant to do so.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION PRIMARY ABILITIES Levitation Transformation Manipulation of Nature Heart Reading RULER Gloxinia (former) Dahlia (former) Harlequin (current) LOCATION Fairy Realm Fairy King's Forest
The Fairy Clan「妖精族, Yōsei-zoku」 is one of the five major races in the world of Nanatsu no Taizai.
Overview
According to the Lady of the Lake, the Fairy Clan and their realm were created by the Sacred Tree, after this was given birth by Chaos.
Over 3,000 years ago, the Fairy Clan along with three of the other four major races (Humans, Giants and Goddesses) defeated the Demon Clan. The Fairies' participation in the Holy War lasted until the massacre of Stigma led by Rou and the demise of Gloxinia who took Aranak's place as one of the Ten Commandments. When Dahlia succeeded Gloxinia as the Fairy King, he insisted that his kin remain neutral following the Holy War, until the Goddesses used the Coffin of Eternal Darkness to seal away the Demons.
Thus, for 3000 years, the Fairy Clan continued to live hidden from Humans to ensure their survival and the protection of resources such as the Fountain of Youth, until the disappearance of King who had lost his memory while fighting Aldrich, to finally the find 700 years later. During King's absence, the protection of the second Fairy King's Forest and the Fountain of Youth was mostly entrusted to Elaine, until the day the seond Forest was destroyed by a Red Demon, leaving many Fairies scattered and homeless.
Several years after the attack of the Red Demon, the Fairies began to inhabit a third Fairy King's Forest fertilized by Ban after the latter was recently entrusted with an Almoca Seed by the dying Elaine. Others remain in other locations of Britannia like the Forest of Awepine or Echo Gorge.
The Fairies eventually participated in the New Holy War, led primarily by Gerheade, and later celebrated the marriage of King and Diane. As for Ban and Ellaine, they founded the Kingdom of Benwick on the border of the Fairy Realm, to maintain "stable" trade relations with the Humans. Some Fairies even move to Liones, celebrating the kingdom's coexisting between all the races.
Appearance
Fairies look like small humans with insect-like wings. Their ears are usually pointed, but not always, and some Fairies can be very small, up to only 20 centimeters tall.
Physiology
Fairies are naturally born within nature, specificly from the plants that grow around the Sacred Tree, or even the Sacred Tree itself. They therefore have no parents and those born from the same plant are siblings.
The average lifespan of a fairy is between 1000 to 1500 years with some exceptions like Gerheade and Dahlia likely due to them being born from the Sacred Tree itself. They don't grow like other races and only have two states: non-adult and adult. Although they are born as babies[1], they soon develop into an adolescent appearance without wings. When they become adults, their wings grow and their body ages a little. The transition to adulthood is psychological and it happens more or less slowly depending on the Fairies.
Some Fairies may born physically sexless, only assuming their definitive biological sex depending to what attracts them emotionally. [1]
Moreover, Fairies never suffer from illness and are extremely resistant to poisons. Even after death their bodies do not decompose and rot.

Powers and Abilities
The fairies are known to be a very powerful race, notably King and Helbram who are as strong as a Great Holy Knight. Members of the Fairy Clan are capable of controlling and manipulating roots and branches of the Sacred Tree, using them in combat. Their magic is linked to the Sacred Tree itself and in a certain way to their wings, once the wings of a fairy grow in maturity, the power of a fairy reaches greater heights.
They also share several abilities amongst their kind:
Levitation: Many Fairies possesses the ability to levitate and are capable of flight, as well as cause objects or individuals to float through thought. They have demonstrated great skill in using it and are able to move quickly through the air, even without wings. Transformation: An ability that allows a user to alter their physical appearance and apparels. It requires a great amount of concentration and reduces a fairy's power when utilizing this ability. This usually requires great physical effort and can often exhaust them, however, King, Helbram and Lancelot are able to maintain their transformations for a very long period of time. This is usually applied as a camouflage function, although not all fairies can do this and those that can usually have few forms to take on. Fairies are not able to transform into the opposite sex (a male fairy can’t turn into a female fairy and vise versa). [2] Manipulation of Nature: Fairies can manipulate any plant, especially those in the Fairy King's Forest, even the roots of the Sacred Tree itself. Heart Reading: Fairies are able to see into the hearts of anyone and discern whether their intentions are pure. A fairy can still read a heart even if one were to erase their own presence. It may also happen that some Fairies let their own thoughts escape when they are in the grip of strong emotions. Nature Communication: Many Fairies can use their Heart Reading to mentally understand and communicate with surrounding flora and fauna. Spirit Perception: Due to their natural proximity to Spirits, Fairies are able to perceive their presence more easily than Humans. Trivia Fairies never get sick, so they have little knowledge about illnesses. However, King mentions that the Fairies cannot tolerate the presence of "metals" in their territories, like the Druids, which recalls certain legends according to which iron acts as a "poison" on the Fairies. Fairies require less sleep than humans. The concepts of marriage and greed are foreign to fairies. Unlike human kingdoms, royal family don't get to be chosen as ruler, but the Sacred Tree choose the next ruler. The concept of wearing underwear doesn't exist in the Fairy world; in fact, they are naked under their clothes. Fairy wings are believed to be able to make medicine that extends one's life, hence they have a very high monetary worth. Curiously, each fairy has a distinct scent associated with a flower or herb: King - Gold Osmanthus Elaine - Lavender Helbram - White Rose Gerheade - Mint Gloxinia - Ginger Lancelot, who is half-human, is described by Percival as smelling like Lemon. Nasiens, who is half-Giant, is described by Gawain and Anghalhad as smelling like Osmanthus. Fairies are naturally born within nature, specifically from flowers and trees. King and Elaine are born from the Sacred Tree. Gloxinia, Gerheade and Dahlia are also born from the Sacred Tree. They can procreate with other races no problem; primarily examples by Lancelot, who is half-Human; as well King and Diane's children, who are all half-Giants. Fairies are said to be the race with the largest number of Deception-Type magic users among their population. In Nanatsu no Taizai, the Fairies are all supposed to have different wing designs, inspired by different types of insects, while in Four Knights of the Apocalypse, they all have the same wing shape, just with different colors. Some fairies liked to kidnap human babies and replace them with fairies as a prank, which are called Changelings「取り替え子チェンジ・リング, Chenji Ringu」. However, this was eventually banned. Tioreh claims that there are many fairies that cannot fly, although all the ones that have been seen so far do.
- #22Human clan
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION PRIMARY ABILITIES Various RULER Various LOCATION Britannia
Humans「人間, Ningen」 are one of the five major races in the world of Nanatsu no Taizai.
Overview
According to the Lady of the Lake, humans were created by Chaos after giving birth to the other four races. Harboring contradicting feelings and emotions, though considered incomplete due to being much weaker, short-lived and not naturally capable of using magic, humans were still seen by Chaos as the perfect race and its favorite creation.
Humans are the most populous race in Britannia with many kingdoms and other settlements established but are also the weakest and shortest-lived of the five races; causing them to suffer at the hands of the other major races since ancient times :
Being seen as hopeless and greedy by the Fairy Clan, as well as being victims of a genocidal campaign lasting five centuries ; Easily stepped on by the Giant Clan for their fragility and constantly mocked ; Demanded worship by the Goddess Clan for use as pawns in the Holy War with them going as far as to exterminate an entire settlement for helping a weakened demon The Demon Clan tends to feast upon them and their souls, sometimes relishing in their agony.
These actions have had consequences, due to sowing the seeds of hatred and despair as motivators for certain humans to see the other races as mortal enemies :
Rou and three of his comrades infiltrated Stigma to kill them out of vengeance for destroying their home and murdering their families for helping a lone, sickly demon , Deathpierce, a once loyal Holy Knight of Liones, left the kingdom upon Meliodas and Elizabeth's ascension to the throne due to his life having been ruined by a high-ranked demon and goddess respectively and instead returned to his homeland Edinburgh to make it for humans only ; The most notable, of all, being the Kingdom of Camelot declaring war on the other four races due to their suffering during the Holy War eighteen years ago, with Arthur Pendragon using the power of Chaos to grant them the power to oppose the naturally stronger races.
The Fairy Clan and Giant Clan are both mostly isolated in their homelands and make little contact with others. The Demon Clan was sealed away 3,000 years ago in the Holy War while the Goddess Clan lost their physical forms to seal away the Demons. Other less prominent races, such as the Beastmen are scattered across the land but not particularly prominent anywhere due to human persecution. The void left from the decline of the other major races left much room for humans to spread and propagate, eventually coming to rule most of Britannia's territory.
Appearance
For the most part, humans within the story are identical to humans in real life, although there are some with hair colors not found in the real world or unrealistic and monstrous proportions, as is common in the manga.
Powers and Abilities
Humans are generally regarded as the weakest of all races, being by far the most short-lived and fragile. This fragility, however, can be circumvented by training and there are some humans who can awaken their own innate magical powers. These humans may be able to stand on par with those of others races, though these people are the exceptions to the rule.
Certain humans can also train themselves physically to superhuman levels that are sufficient in matching or even surpassing, albeit rarely, the might of various members of other races such as the case with Rou. The former, as well as all humans in his immediate company, were able to kill many Fairy, Giant and Goddess warriors. The stronger Holy Knights of the modern age are also able to kill lesser demons, although they stand no chance against the likes of the Ten Commandments or the Indura and their spawn.
The many human souls contained within Excalibur were also feared by the weaker Demons yet could do nothing against the auras of highest-level demons such as Meliodas, Zeldris, and their teachers and while Arthur could use the power of Excalibur to fight them off, this only worked for a short period before the backlash caught up to him due to his current strength and will not being able to wield the sword's true potential.
However, after Merlin uses the excess power of their fight against the Demon King within Lake Salisbury, she is able to allow the entity known as Chaos to inhabit Arthur as its vessel which in turn granted him the ability mostly control the entity, as long as their intents are aligned.
Unique to Ban, a trained human who drank from the Fountain of Youth, he became an immortal, allowing him to fight and survive battles against Demons and members of the Ten Commandments. His experiences and adapting to Purgatory, lasting for several centuries, Ban evolved to where he could fight the Demon King (in Meliodas' body), making him one of, if not the strongest human, aside from Arthur.
Trivia Humans are by far the most short-lived of the five races, and the majority of them are much weaker than the other races as well. Despite this, they are considered to be Chaos' favorite and greatest creation. Humans are the only race with no innate magical abilities. Holy Knights, Mages, and Druids are exceptions to this because they have trained themselves to either control and unleash inherit latent magical power through their incredible strength and because of many years of practice, or to also control external sources of magic in the case of Mages and Druids.

Keys: Vampires
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION PRIMARY ABILITIES Blood Draining Possession Immortality Regeneration RULER Izraf (formerly) LOCATION Kingdom of Edinburgh (formerly) Demon Realm (formerly)
Vampires are one of the minor races in the world of Nanatsu no Taizai and were once allies yet subservient vassals of the Demon Clan in the Holy War 3,000 years ago.
Overview
Vampires are one of the many species of monsters that were born from the Mother of Chaos.
3,000 years ago, the Vampires fought as vassals for the Demon Clan in the Holy War. Sometime during the war, the Vampire King Izraf had plotted a secret rebellion as he despised being subservient to the Demon King. However, the Demon King personally and single-handedly defeated the Vampire Clan and as punishment, made the vampires an example of what happens to traitors. Zeldris, the Demon King's executioner, was tasked to execute them. However, unable to bring himself to kill Gelda, his lover, Zeldris sealed them away in an ancient sarcophagus instead.
Over twenty-three years ago, due to grave robbers tampering with the sarcophagus, the seal was broken and the Vampires were released once again. To reestablish themselves, they took over the Kingdom of Edinburgh in one night by massacring the population and turning them into Vampires, along with the Holy Knights.
With their sights set on Liones as their next target, the Seven Deadly Sins were dispatched to deal with the threat and all of the Vampires were killed (or captured in Orlondi's case), except for Gelda, who was resealed by Meliodas again for when Zeldris would eventually be broken from the Demon Clan's seal.
Appearance
Vampires have humanoid appearances, though some may have larger proportions. Their main characteristic is a pair of fangs.
Members Vampire Clan
Ganne † Dual Sword Gelda Thousand Temptations Izraf † Vampire King
Mod † Dual Sword Orlondi (Formerly) Rose Ren † Black Claw Powers and Abilities
The vampires are known to be a powerful race. They share the same ability of converting humans into vampires by biting them and sucking their blood in the process. Like with the Demon Clan, the power of vampires doubles at night, as stated by Merlin.
Blood Draining/Enslavement: The ability to drain blood from their victims not only allow them to feed them, but turning them into their own undead slave. The connection could also allow a vampire to enter the victim' Spritual World. Pseudo-Immortality: Vampires possess immunity to aging due to being undead, they can however still be killed. Regeneration: Vampires are known to possess an incredible ability to regenerate. This ability could be enhanced by drinking the blood of a demon to the point where they can survive decapitation, one of the few things a vampire can't survive under normal conditions. Darkness: Similarly to the Demon Clan, Vampires have also shown to have access to the ability to create and control darkness for offensive and defensive purposes. Vampires in particular can use this ability to shroud and shield themselves from sunlight, allowing them to safely travel around during the day time without being burned. Weaknesses Sunlight: Vampires are known to not be able to survive direct contact with sunlight and exposure itself may end up killing them. Due to this weakness, Vampires typically overcome this weakness by using their ability to conjure and manipulate darkness to wrap it around themselves protect themselves against direct exposure to sunlight during daytime. When establishing territory, the Vampire King, Izraf can create a gigantic barrier of pure darkness to shield him and his kin from the sun. Extreme Bodily Harm: As stated by King, the only way to truly kill a Vampire is to inflict massive amounts of physical damage to their bodies. Several ways to kill a vampire is to either decapitate them, destroy their hearts or completely crush or incinerate their bodies to ash, with anything less being stated to be insufficient to kill them due to their immense regenerative powers. Purge: A human turned vampire can also be killed by using the holy elemental power "Purge" of the Druids and Goddess Clan to release their souls from their undead bodies. It is unknown if this technique is also effective against natural born vampires. Trivia They served as allies of the Demon Clan in the ancient war but are a separate race from the Demons. Due to Orlondi having been reduced to a floating eyeball under Merlin's control, Gelda is the only true Vampire left.
- #24Ten Commandments
The Ten Commandments「十戒, Jikkai」 are an extremely powerful group of ten elite warriors who are the strongest amongst the Demon Clan. Handpicked by the Demon King himself, each member possesses a Commandment「戒禁, Kaigon」, a unique power gifted to them by the Demon King, which delivers a unique curse to whomever breaks a rule specific to each member.
Following the Demon King's destruction and almost all members killed or incapacitated during the course of the New Holy War, the Ten Commandments officially dissolved.
Some time after becoming the new Demon King, Zeldris handpicked six of the strongest demons in the Demon Realm as sucessors to the Ten Commandments, known as the Six Knights of Darkness. However, due to the Commandment powers having been eradicated by Meliodas, the Six Knights lack the same level of power as their predecessors.

The Ten Commandments were formed when the Demon King had put the Demon Realm under his control and planned to give half of his power to his servants, which would allow him to conquer all of existence at once. However, in order not to give too much power to a single individual and put his position at risk, he divided half of his power into ten fragments and handed them to ten of his elite warriors in the form of Commandments.
3,000 years ago, the Ten Commandments fought for their race against the other four races (goddesses, giants, fairies, and humans) in the ancient Holy War. The Ten Commandments at that time were led by Meliodas until he ended up betraying them, killing two of its members, Aranak and Zeno, in the process that would later be replaced by Drole and Gloxinia. Another of its members, Gowther, left his position in the group when escaping from his prison in the Demon Realm and finally died, which resulted in his place being unofficially occupied by Fraudrin. The Archangel Mael, who had his identity manipulated by Gowther to turn it into "Estarossa", received Meliodas' Commandment and replaced him in the group. Calmadios also lost his place in the group at some point, being replaced by Zeldris.
The group was finally defeated and sealed by the Coffin of Eternal Darkness alongside the rest of the Demon Clan.
Seven Deadly Sins
At some point, being before sealed separately, Fraudrin was able to escape and began searching for ways to release his people, until the present day, where he manipulated Hendrickson into freeing the other nine members from the seal (as he did not have enough of Elizabeth's blood to break the seal completely).
As they were completely drained of their magical powers by an after effect of the seal, the Ten Commandments elected to head towards Edinburgh while leaving a terrified Hendrickson behind. Arriving at their destination, they were surprised to find a castle in ruins, and a giant hole bored into the land. Zeldris deduces that the hole was made by Meliodas, but they had no way of knowing the castle was destroyed by Escanor.
Their presences in Britannia awoke two of the Demon Clan's Albion; one at Camelot and the other at the Fairy King's Forest, which were destroyed respectively by Meliodas and King. Sensing the Albions' destruction, Galand was delighted to know that there are still powerful people even in the current age and decided to take action despite them still having yet to recover their full power. He traveled all the way to Camelot in seventy-two high jumps and encountered three members of the Seven Deadly Sins. He easily overwhelmed them and annihilated almost half a portion of Camelot and its citizens and slaughtered its Holy Knights in battle. However, Gowther's power Invasion deluded Galand about having killed Meliodas, Diane, Slader, and Merlin.
Later on, the Commandments continued to rest and recover their magical power through eating the souls of humans they devoured and were shocked when they sensed Meliodas regain his full demonic powers at Istar.
Suddenly, Meliodas appeared out of nowhere through Merlin's teleportation and casually greeted the Ten Commandments who were surprised by his sudden appearance. Zeldris and Fraudrin were going to attack him but Galand told all of them to stay out of it as Meliodas is his prey to kill. Meliodas battled and defeated Galand in less than ten seconds before warning Zeldris that the Seven Deadly Sins will defeat the Ten Commandments with everything they got, warning them of their doom if they stepped out of line.
In response, Zeldris and Fraudrin attempted to attack Meliodas from both sides, but he was teleported back to Istar. Galand was angered and humiliated by his defeat at the hands of the "Accursed Demon".
As Galand complains and demands that Melascula find Meliodas, he is cut off by Zeldris as he tells him and the other demons that their goal is the domination of Britannia and commands the others to move out in groups of two (or more) in order to recover their magical power as quickly as possible and to use whatever methods they deem necessary to eradicate the other four races. Fraudrin then asks if this was a declaration of war against Meliodas which he replies saying that this is not war but an extermination.
Still angered by his defeat and the thought of Meliodas being "beyond" him, Galand tries to claim to have been able to defeat Meliodas any time he wanted. However, before he can finish his sentence he is stopped and warned about lying by Drole, questioning if he had forgotten that the Ten Commandments would incur their own curses on themselves if they break their own laws. Galand then lowers his head in response but still curses Meliodas in his mind. The Ten Commandments then disperse; Zeldris and Estarossa, however, remain behind.
Derieri and Monspeet arrive at the town of Bellford where they promptly eat many people's souls. Drole and Gloxinia arrive at Vaizel at the construction site of a new "brawl colosseum", because Gloxinia finds the site and activities surrounding it interesting. Meanwhile, Fraudrin arrives at the town of Fersen, where he is promptly attacked and seemingly defeated by members of the Pleiades of the Azure Sky, and then taken to the research tower in Zeldon, while Grayroad watches. Meanwhile, Melascula, who teamed up with Galand, begins to resurrect the dead all over Britannia in order to wipe out the living people.
Upon noticing that one of her zombies is resisting her magic, Galand and Melascula arrive to see what is happening. From there a great battle ensues between them and the Fox's Sin of Greed Ban and eventually the Lion's Sin of Pride Escanor which ultimately results in their defeat. Drole notices this, as well as what happened to Fraudrin, and relays this to his partner, as they patiently wait for all the unsuspecting prey to arrive at the "Fight Festival" they are holding to draw strong souls to them as a more efficient way of recovering their lost magic power.
Meanwhile, Fraudrin is being held captive by the Pleiades who intend to prove that humanity can best the ancient demons and even defeat a member of the legendary Ten Commandments. Fraudrin then reveals that he is not an actual member of the Ten Commandments, but a replacement for the missing member, Gowther. Grayroad then appears, disguised as Dogedo to retrieve Fraudrin. Denzel Liones, the leader of the Pleiades, lets them leave being cautious of Grayroad's Commandment. Fraudrin and Grayroad then walk out, with Fraudrin stabbing Deldry in the gut as revenge for their last battle. Before going, however, Fraudrin questions why he is leaving them alive, blaming his time in a human as making him soft, and decides to kill them all and destroys their base. As it crumbles, Fraudrin and Grayroad leave, ready to continue their mission. They are later seen resting in a cave.
Drole and Gloxinia decide to organize a Great Fight Festival as an efficient way to gather strong souls together. Meanwhile, Derieri and Monspeet have completely wiped out the populations of nine cities and towns in northern Britannia. Estarossa and Zeldris apparently parted ways at some points, as Zeldris went on to conquer Camelot's royal capital single-handedly.
Drole and Gloxinia's festival is short-lived, as they are unexpectedly attacked by a participant whose power suddenly spiked tremendously. Afterward, Meliodas attacks them both, and despite their best efforts, it seems he is going to kill them. But, before he can finish them off, all the other Commandments (except Galand) arrive to aid them. After a grueling battle, in which Melascula is incapacitated unexpectedly by Ban, Estarossa seemingly kills Meliodas, and the eight remaining Commandments set out to solidify their conquest of Britannia.
The month following Meliodas' defeat, the Ten Commandments have Britannia under their thumb. They send out legions of lesser demons to terrorize people and stamp out any resistance and it has become common practice to sacrifice Holy Knights and other with strong souls as a form of appeasement. Some people do this to protect themselves and their families while others do it out of genuine adoration of the Ten Commandments.
Eventually, they set their sights on conquering Liones, however, one after another they are defeated by members of the Seven Deadly Sins. Estarossa and Zeldris are sent flying by Escanor, and later Fraudrin is dealt with by a revived Meliodas, who definitively slays him. Grayroad, in turn, is captured by Merlin. Drole and Gloxinia are nowhere to be found during this great battle, attending to other matters and finally deciding to abandon the Commandments and return with their respective clans. Melascula is finally defeated by all the Sins and stripped of her powers, before being captured by Merlin.
The only members still active are Estarossa and Zeldris, as Derieri and Monspeet decided to not heed Zeldris' calling to gather the Commandments and live in peace after being defeated by Meliodas.
Later, when Meliodas decides to become the new Demon King to break Elizabeth's curse, he affirms that to achieve this he must acquire the same power as the Demon King, which he can achieve by absorbing all ten Commandments in himself. Already disposing of Grayroad's Commandment, Meliodas allied with Estarossa and Zeldris, who already possessed the Commandments of Gowther, Drole and Gloxinia and instructed them to recover the other Commandments.
Estarossa is able to locate a petrified Galand and kill him to take his Commandment. Currently, Zeldris yielded his Commandment is Meliodas to become the new Demon King, like the ones of Gowther, Grayroad, Gloxinia and Drole absorbing them in itself.
At the same time, Estarossa would seek for the rest. He finds Derieri and Monspeet and tries to take their decrees by force, but they fight him. Monspeet sacrifices himself to kill Estarossa and let Derieri escape. Estarossa, however, was not hurt and flies after Derieri to kill her for her Commandment but finds an "even greater prize" after finding Elizabeth away from Meliodas but is attacked by Tarmiel and Sariel of the Four Archangels and is forced to take in the Commandments of Truth and Silence in order to defeat them. To keep him from killing everyone, Elizabeth agrees to go with him and the two fly off.
Estarossa, whose soul is warped from possessing three Commandments at once, believes himself to be Meliodas and when Elizabeth tries to remind him of his true identity, he suddenly falls to Heaven's Theater where Elizabeth remembered how she and Meliodas used to come there in secret, but she is soon choked by Estarossa who has gone berserk from the power.
Believing that Meliodas will simply take Elizabeth back, whom he loves, Estarossa decides to devour her, so she will be with him forever but shortly after that, Derieri, King, Sariel, and Tarmiel all arrive and begin to attack him but their memories of Estarossa and Mael begin to warp around, and they notice the abnormalities in their memories and Gowther's forbidden spell begins to break and soon everyone who knew Mael start to remember the truth: Estarossa of the Ten Commandments never existed to begin with and his true identity is in fact, Mael of the Four Archangels. While others try to stop him, Mael kills Derieri and absorbs her Commandment, Purity. After almost being swallowed by the four Commandments, with the aid of Gowther, he released them, and now he is back to normal again.
Earlier, at Camelot Castle, the Assault Force manages to penetrate through Meliodas's barrier into the exterior where they are greeted by the sole remaining member of the Ten Commandments, Zeldris, along with the transformed Cusack and Chandler who are opposed by Merlin, Escanor and Ludociel.
Due to the efforts of Merlin, Escanor and Ludociel, the three demons are defeated just as everyone's memories of Estarossa go back to being of Mael and it gives Zeldris, Cusack and Chandler the chance to regenerate their wounds and seeing their chances of victory, Chandler and Cusack decide to merge back into the one being they both are halves of: the Original Demon.
The Original Demon overpowers Escanor who is slowly weakening due to it being past noon, but the fight is interfered when King's Chastiefol comes flying at him but is canceled out by Zeldris who explains to King that they are not the only ones heading to Camelot, to which they realize the four Commandments that Mael expelled from his body are joined together and heading towards Camelot.
As the four Commandments near, Melascula's Commandment forcibly leaves her and joins up with the four as the five dive into Meliodas' cocoon and join with the over five, giving Meliodas all of the Commandments. Merlin refuses to let it end as she attempts to stop time in the cocoon to Zeldris and the Original Demon's displeasure as they attempt to attack Merlin but are held back by Escanor and King's weapon which are quickly dealt with, but Ludociel takes on the Original Demon in Escanor's place as Mael appears and begins to battle Zeldris who loses his composure when he realizes that their defeat will mean that Gelda will remain sealed forever before he collapses and everyone celebrates the end of the Holy War until Hawk realizes that the cocoon is empty.
Everyone is frozen in shock and fear while Zeldris weakly laughs and says that the "Demon King" better keep his promise as Meliodas appears as the new Demon King, having successfully absorbed all of the Commandments.
Meliodas begins to congratulate the Sins, Elizabeth, and the "rare beast", Hawk, on their efforts until Elizabeth notes that he is not Meliodas while Zeldris tells Meliodas to keep his end of the deal by telling him where Gelda's seal is, only for Meliodas to say he is disappointed with how Zeldris has allowed his heart to be captured by a mere vampire, which shocks him, until Zeldris realizes that their father, the Demon King, is possessing Meliodas' body to his shock and is confused as he was told that the Demon King wanted Meliodas to be his successor, to which his father explains that he was never going to give up his throne to anyone and all he wanted to be a younger, stronger body and goes on to explain that the Commandments are fragments of his own power so by absorbing them all into his body, Meliodas has become the Demon King's new vessel.
While the Seven Deadly Sins, along with Elizabeth, Hawk, Ludociel, and Mael all confront the Demon King, Zeldris decides to go against his father, claiming that his business was with Meliodas and not him but decides to ask his father if he was aware of his relationship with Gelda, but the Demon King responds with saying that he always knew and is disappointed with Zeldris for being weak, claiming it was his "disease" and says he no longer has a use for his second son and creates an entity called the "Fleeting Hermit" to deal with his useless son, but Zeldris manages to hold it off on his own but is caught off guard from a surprise attack from his father himself and falls to the ground defeated and loses consciousness, but not before silently cheering for Meliodas to defeat their father.
Later, after the Demon King was forced out of Meliodas by Ban and the others, Cusack and Chandler regain consciousness while the others are celebrating the Demon King's defeat as they notice the Commandments having been forced out of Meliodas and Cusack is horrified to see Zeldris lying on the ground dying.
Chandler tells Cusack to leave him behind as he is worthless and that they should focus on getting the Commandments back to Meliodas, but Cusack kills his other half to prevent him from saving Zeldris as he grabs his pupil and the Commandments and flees to a cave where he safely imbues Zeldris with the Commandments who awakens and is horrified, realizing that his father will take over his body but is too weak to stop Cusack before the Commandments fly into his body and later emerges from a cocoon, with the Demon King having survived by taking Zeldris as his new vessel and kills Cusack, being disgusted by him and no longer having a use for him.
After the Sins find out that Elizabeth's curse has been reactivated, Meliodas and Elizabeth immediately realize that Zeldris is the only other person besides Meliodas who could take in all of the Commandments, but the Demon King has already taken notice of the portal to the Demon Realm opened by Merlin and rips it open again to unleash an Indura in order to distract the Sins long enough for him to recover his magic so he can fully assimilate with Zeldris' body and become unstoppable.
Then others go deal with the Indura, while Meliodas stays behind with Elizabeth as his power is equal to his father's and thus only he can protect her from the curse but also realizes that Zeldris will be at their father's mercy if he does not help him. However, Elizabeth decides to risk her life despite the curse being active to help Meliodas save his younger brother, claiming him to be her family as well and the two immediately set off for Lake Salisbury where the Demon King plans to recover his magic as quick as possible.
Meliodas and Elizabeth arrive at the lake to find the Demon King waiting for them and as soon as they land, a terrible storm occurs and the Demon King tells Meliodas that the world is outraged because it does not need two gods of darkness, but Meliodas himself counters by saying it does not need any god at all before he claims that every tragedy that has befallen Britannia is because of his petty rivalry with the Supreme Deity over who is the superior being.
The father and son clash but the Demon King notices that Meliodas is not using his own godly power out of fear of accidentally killing Zeldris, to which the Demon King takes full advantage of by creating a fake Gelda within Zeldris' mindscape to make him give up on the real world, thus allowing the Demon King to assimilate with his body faster as Meliodas realizes to his horror that his younger brother is dying.
Reaching a fully mature state, the Demon King explains that Zeldris is gone but Meliodas refuses to accept his brother's supposed death and attacks regardless, but suddenly the Demon King is attacked by the remains of the Chimera Indura sent by Ban and the others, who come to help Meliodas fight his father again; Meliodas himself tries to persuade them to leave as he believes he does not deserve their help but Ban reminds him they are the Seven Deadly Sins and they resolve to stop the Demon King once and for all.
With the help of the Sins and Escanor's arrival, Gowther uses his magic to get him and Meliodas into Zeldris' mindscape where they find him, still alive but captured by the fake Gelda. Meliodas calls out to him and initially Zeldris is skeptical of Meliodas' actions until he himself says he's here to save him. The fake Gelda attempts to persuade him by saying he killed her but Zeldris cuts her off by saying he knew she was not the real Gelda and was merely holding onto the faint hope it was her, thus forcing the Demon King to take extreme measures to prevent Zeldris from taking back control of his body by creating an illusion even he himself cannot discern.
While the Demon King gains the upper hand in the physical world, the real Gelda intervenes by ingesting some of Zeldris' blood which connects her to his mindscape and she is able to find the real Zeldris, and thanks to Meliodas' own intervention, he finally realizes he has to fight his father to be free of his grasp and fights against the illusions his father creates to make Meliodas seem like a traitor again but Zeldris comes to terms with the fact that he carries some of the guilt alongside his brother and that they both want the same thing: to be free of their father's reign.
With that, Zeldris begins to force the Commandments out of his body and the Demon King with them, who tries to reclaim Zeldris' body but fails due to Ban grabbing him beforehand and desperates tries to destroy the Sins by posessing the land of Britannia itself to stop the Sins and both of his rebellious sons.
The Sins however do not back down and combine their powers together with Meliodas' Full Counter to create an attack powerful enough that not even the Demon King can withstand and due to his false pleas and refusal to change his ways, he is annihilated by Meliodas' attack and in turn tells his son what destroying him will do to the balance of the world, but Meliodas accepts to face whatever comes next head-on, before the Demon King vanishes.
Despite defeating the Demon King, the others are shocked to find the Commandments have not been destroyed and Merlin claims that as a god, the Demon King cannot be truly annihilated unless by a power equal to or greater than a god's, such as Meliodas' own true power.
Meliodas taps into his hidden power and plans to throw it at the Commandments, which will cancel each other out, thus destroying the Demon King forever. However, Zeldris claims to him that he could take their father's place to which Meliodas agrees but they both realize power is not what they sought before Meliodas sacrifices his own to destroy the Commandments once and for all, thus ending the Holy War for good.

Former Ten Commandments The Commandments as individual decrees
Current Ten Commandments The Decree's last holders Former Ten Commandments Silhouettes of the Ten Commandments as they are described by Merlin
Trivia The "Commandments" from which the group's name is derived all seem to be loosely based on the real Ten Commandments from the Abrahamic religions. Zeldris is the only Commandment not killed and the only one who ultimately remained an ally of the Seven Deady Sins, while the others were either killed or sealed off by Merlin after being defeated. Mael technically becomes an ally after being freed from his Estarossa personality and then from the grasp of the four Commandments by Gowther. Derieri also became an ally when she decides to save Elizabeth from Estarossa, and later help her save Mael, but she would eventually fall as well. In flashbacks to the previous Commandments group, Estarossa is shown to be part of the group at a very young age, while Mael was already "very adult" when he suffered the forbidden spell of Gowther though it was most likely fabricated by spell here. Estarossa is shown as the former Commandment of Pacifism before Grayroad, which proves the unreliability in the flashback.
- #25Four Archangels
Keys: Yon Daitenshi」, Four Archangels「四よん大だい天てん使し
Three of the Four Archangels
The Four Archangels「四よん大だい天てん使し, Yon Daitenshi」 are the four strongest warriors of the Goddess Clan. Each of them bestowed a Grace, a power from the Supreme Deity. The members of Four Archangels are said to each possess power equivalent to two members of the Demon Clan's Ten Commandments.
Overview Archangels Symbol
The Four Archangels were formed by the Supreme Deity. They are known as the elite of the Goddess Clan, being also recognized as dangerous even by the Ten Commandments. All the members have received a Grace which gives them combat abilities, similar to how the Demon King bestowed Commandments on his elite warriors. In addition to the Grace, each of the Archangels are given divine protection by the Supreme Deity that made them immune to the curses of the Ten Commandments, as Estarossa noted that Sariel and Tarmiel showed their hatred towards him but remain unaffected by his Love Commandment.
As members of the goddess clan, the Archangels are capable of brainwashing members of other races to fight for their cause, which Ludociel avails himself of liberally in order to achieve his goals.
History
Over 3,000 years ago, the strongest and most threatening Commandment, Meliodas, defected from the Demon Clan. Seizing this opportunity of weakness, the Four Archangels recruited the Fairy Clan, Giant Clan and eventually the Humans in an alliance under the name of Stigma to wipe out the Demon Clan and the Ten Commandments. This came to be known as the Holy War.
At the war's turning point, Ludociel planned an ambush on the Demon Clan in the Fairy King's Forest, having previously kidnapped many members of the Demon Clan as bait, with the intent of eliminating the demon forces in a single attack using the overwhelming power of the archangels. Following the decimation of the demon army, the Goddess Clan forces would descend from heaven to seize control of the world and its power. Among the kidnapped demons were many non-combatants, indicative of the Archangel's inhumane ruthlessness toward demons in pursuit of their cause.
While the plan successfully obliterated the captured demons along with the main demon army that had arrived to save their brethren, the Ten Commandments were too powerful to fall so easily. Derieri and Monspeet, two of the stronger Commandments, vengefully charged against Tarmiel and Sariel, but the Archangels overwhelmed them effortlessly. Following the arrival of Ludociel and pushing to odds too far against them, the two Commandments were forced to permanently sacrifice six of their seven hearts, thereby invoking a favor of Indura, after which they seemingly gained the upper hand. However, the duel was summarily ended by Elizabeth's intervention, and the overall battle interrupted by Gowther's betrayal.
Sometime after, Gowther used a forbidden spell with the help of his doll that used up all of his life force and magic that could change everyone's memories of a sole person that not even the Supreme Deity and the Demon King were immune to. He used it to change everyone who knew Mael into thinking he was killed by someone who never existed, the Demon King's second son Estarossa, and this tricked the Goddess Clan into ending the war due to believing their strongest warrior was dead. The Four Archangels, along with the Goddess Clan, sacrificed themselves to seal the Ten Commandments and the Demon Clan into the Coffin of Eternal Darkness, losing their physical bodies in the process and cause their souls to inhabit the material objects, such as swords or instruments, in Britannia for the next three thousand years. Mael, having been turned into one of the Ten Commandments, was sealed alongside the Demon Clan.
3,000 years later, with the Demon Clan being released from their seal, the Four Archangels took over the bodies of three humans as vessels in order of fight again. Ludociel possessed Margaret Liones, Sariel possessed a very ill Solaseed and Tarmiel possessed the deceased Arbus. The three then formed an aliance with Liones and the Seven Deadly Sins, reviving Stigma with the goal of unleashing a new Holy War, spearheaded by Ludociel's zealous desire to finish the genocide of demons they had come so close to achieving 3,000 years past.
During the New Holy War, Sariel and Tarmiel join the Search-and-Destroy Force to help the Holy Knights confront the main force of the Demons while Ludociel forms part of the Assault Force to personally deal with Meliodas and the highest-ranked Demons in Camelot.
After Elizabeth was kidnapped by Estarossa, everyone's memories of him began to change when things were not adding up and caused everyone to start remembering the truth: Estarossa, the second son of the Demon King, never existed to begin with and was actually Mael the entire time.
Sariel and Tarmiel lose their bodies during the battle against Mael. The latter is finally defeated by King and saved by Gowther from the corruption of the Commandments. Ludociel would fight alongside the Sins against Zeldris and the Original Demon, eventually reuniting with Mael during the fight. Following the Demon King's defeat, Ludociel depletes his physical body as well, leaving Mael as the only remaining Archangel.

- #26The Seven Deadly Sins
Keys: Nanatsu no Taizai」, The Seven Deadly Sins「七つの大罪
Five of the Seven Deadly Sins
Apparently, the Seven Deadly Sins were the strongest and cruelest chivalric order in the kingdom, formed by seven brutal criminals who carved symbols of seven beasts into their bodies.
The Seven Deadly Sins「七つの大罪, Nanatsu no Taizai」are the strongest and cruelest order of Holy Knights in the Kingdom of Liones. They were formed by seven brutal criminals, who had all been convicted for grievous crimes and had carved the symbols of seven beasts onto their bodies. They are the titular main protagonists of the first series.
Background
Unbeknownst to even most of its members, the Seven Deadly Sins were formed for the expressed purpose of defeating the Demon Clan's Ten Commandments. The king of Liones had a premonition through his power Vision, that they would become the kingdom's protectors. Hearing this, both Meliodas and Merlin (who was only known to Meliodas at the time) took it upon themselves to find the other five, in order to crush the Ten Commandments, should they ever be revived.
The members of this group were originally an independent order of knights serving the kingdom of Liones, responding directly to the Great Holy Knight, Zaratras. The Seven Deadly Sins were widely known as the strongest knights of Liones and were greatly admired by several Holy Knights and apprentices, including Gilthunder and Dale.
The Seven Deadly Sins' feats includes defeating the troll queen, with them having also broken the Great Druid Altar. Also, the supression of the Vampires that taken over the kingdom of Edinburgh.
Under Fraudrin's machinations, the Seven Deadly Sins were declared as traitors and villains after being framed for assassinating Zaratras, the Great Holy Knight, after heeding an order to meet up with him at the castle. They found him murdered through no fault of their own and were quickly surrounded by the kingdom's Holy Knights. Meliodas ordered the group to disperse to avoid capture, and everyone was able to escape separately. It was initially suspected that one of the members was a traitor who helped in the nefarious plot, as Meliodas was knocked unconscious shortly after issuing his order. It is later revealed that Merlin was the perpetrator, and was due to Meliodas losing himself to his anger when a young Elizabeth got hurt trying to help him escape. However, she did ask for forgiveness.
The Seven Deadly Sins reappeared ten years later in the kingdom, having regathered six of its members over a short duration. They aided the third princess of Liones, Elizabeth, helping her liberate the kingdom from the oppressive rule of the Holy Knights and stopping Hendrickson's plan to release the long-sealed Demon Clan into the world.
Upon Hendrickson's defeat and his villainous plan to revive the Demon Clan being fully realized by the rest of the kingdom, the Seven Deadly Sins were praised as heroes for saving the kingdom. They were also cleared of their false crimes, and welcomed back into the kingdom of Liones once more.
After this, two members of the group separated from the rest, while the other four were involved in the battle against the Ten Commandments. After joining all once again, including the last missing member, they decided to take sides to stop the Ten Commandments. With the exception of Merlin, all the Sins participate in the Great Fight Festival, that ends with Meliodas being killed by the Ten Commandments.
After a month, Meliodas is resuscitated and along with Escanor and Merlin, prevents the Commandments from taking control of Liones. With the rejoining of Diane and King that were by their one, and Gowther that was temporary imprisoned, the Seven Deadly Sins were oficially reformed. However, after defeating Melascula in Corand and battle Chandler, Meliodas was returned to his previous evil state as a result of his emotions have been taken by the Demon King in his resurrection. Meliodas, having decided to become the new Demon King to break his curse and that of Elizabeth, officially declares the dissolution of the Seven Deadly Sins.
The others, however, are not willing to accept it, so they decide to continue fighting against the Demon Clan and prevent Meliodas from becoming the Demon King.
With the exception of Ban, who goes to the Purgatory hoping to recover the emotions of Meliodas, the Seven Deadly Sins along with Liones allies with Stigma and the resurrected Four Archangels to wage a new Holy War.
After Meliodas absorbed all of the Commandments, the Demon King took possession of his body and engaged in a fierce fight against the Deadly Sins in an effort to kill Elizabeth. Ban, meanwhile, reunited with Meliodas in Purgatory, was able to escape to help his comrades, while Meliodas struggled from within against his father's influence. All together, they managed to expel the Commandments from Meliodas' body, which reverted back to how it was before.
Having acquired god-like powers similar to that of his father, Meliodas confessed to his comrades that he would soon be forced to remain living in the Demon Realm to prevent the slow destruction of Britannia. However, shortly before his departure, the Deadly Sins discover that the Demon King is still alive, but through the body of Zeldris. Determined to save his little brother, Meliodas, accompanied by Elizabeth, then joined by the other Deadly Sins and Gelda, set off towards Lake Salisbury to finish off the Demon King.
During the confrontation, the Deadly Sins and Gelda, also assisted by Mael, managed to free Zeldris from the grip of the Demon King, but the latter used the Commandments to merge with the ground of Britannia. The Sins succeed despite all taking him down with their Fugutaiten. In order to prevent the Demon King's return, Meliodas sacrificed his god-like powers to destroy the Commandments. However, Escanor, consumed by his overuse of Sunshine, died, after receiving a first and last kiss from Merlin.
Shortly after celebrating the Demon King's defeat, Merlin agreed to let the Deadly Sins accompany her, while she resurrected Arthur Pendragon as the "King of Chaos". The Lady of the Lake then agreed to reveal the secrets of Merlin's childhood and how the latter had used the Sins to free Chaos, a primordial entity being at the origin of the five Clans, but which was sealed by the Supreme Deity and the Demon King in Hawk Mama's body.
Shortly after Arthur's resurrection, Cath, a Purgatory Creature he had taken in, attempted to devour him, revealing himself to be Cath Palug, a monster who once defied Chaos to take him over. The Deadly Sins attempt to fight Cath at least twice, but remain powerless against Chaos's power partially held by Cath, until Arthur decides to intervene with Excalibur, then in turn decides to engulf Cath, so that no one opposes his building an "Eternal Kingdom".
Six months later, as King and Diane celebrated their wedding, the Deadly Sins, with the exception of Merlin, agreed to unite one last time to fight armies of Fairies and Giants controlled by Dahlia and Dubs, themselves manipulated by the Breath of Bless of the Supreme Deity. When Dahlia and Dubs were defeated by Meliodas and Zeldris, the Supreme Deity led several manipulated Goddesses against the Holy Knights and decided to personally intervene to eliminate the Deadly Sins and initiate a third Holy War herself without the Demon King's help. However, the Supreme Deity was ultimately defeated in turn by the combined efforts of Meliodas and Zeldris.
After Meliodas and Elizabeth's wedding and coronation, the Seven Deadly Sins finally decided to go their separate ways: Meliodas and Elizabeth remained in Liones to rule together, while Bartra would retire; Merlin stayed with Arthur to rebuild Camelot, with the help of Nanashi and Orlondi; King and Diane remained in the Fairy King's Forest, to rule the Fairies and Giants together; Ban and Elaine set out to explore Britannia, then founded Benwick, on the border of the Fairy King's Forest; Gowther also sets out to explore Britannia.
Ten years later, the Seven Deadly Sins, with the exception of Merlin, have gathered to celebrate the tenth birthday of Tristan, the son of Meliodas and Elizabeth. The Deadly Sins also gathered four years later to free Elizabeth from a curse brought on by Deathpierce's "Priest", and decimate his entire army of Empties.

Sins Committed Meliodas
Meliodas considers his sin to be his failure to protect Danafor, its citizens, and Liz from the kingdom's annihilation. The official story is that Meliodas lost himself in his wrath and annihilated the Kingdom himself.
Merlin
Initially, Merlin was accused of being a glutton for all the magical knowledge and power she could get, regardless of the consequences; even going as far as to trick the Supreme Deity and the Demon King into bestowing her with "blessings" of immunity to curses and vast forbidden knowledge, respectively, resulting in the two gods destroying Belialuin. In reality, Merlin considers that her "innermost sin" is to have been plotting to free Chaos, even if it meant manipulating the Deadly Sins, and thus filling the void left in her heart by Meliodas who had not returned her feelings of love. Merlin is the only one of the Seven Deadly Sins who willingly committed the crime she is accused of.
King
After supposedly ending Helbram's life, King took on the sentence for ignoring Helbram's mass murdering of humans continuously over a period of five hundred years. This came close to sparking a war between humans and fairies. He was consequently sentenced to an imprisonment for a thousand years, and was recognized as the Sin of Sloth as he ignored the atrocities committed and turned a blind eye. In reality, King had been suffering from amnesia during that time.
Diane
Diane and her mentor, Matrona were hired by knights of Liones as mercenaries to assist them in a battle against foreign savages. The Holy Knight Gannon deceives them, revealing his ultimate intentions of taking down a giant for reputation and prestige. Although Matrona unfortunately "dies" from a venomous arrow, Gannon underestimates her strength and his plans are thwarted. The giantess "passes away" after killing the majority of the troops, including Gannon himself, with remaining survivors falsifying the report of the incident to place blame on Diane. She is eventually labeled the Sin of Envy for her jealousy towards Matrona (who she supposedly murdered), along with 330 innocent knights of the kingdom. She is sentenced to death by beheading but Meliodas thwarted it under direct orders of the king of Liones.
Ban
As the only survivor of the Fairy King's Forest, he took the blame and was convicted for destroying the forest and killing its guardian saint, Elaine so that he could gain immortality from the Fountain of Youth. As a result, he was sentenced to death, and became known as the Sin of Greed due to his apparent greed for immortality. In reality, it was a Red Demon that attacked the forest and Ban stopped it. Ban and Elaine were both injured and Elaine chose to give him the water of the fountain to save his life.
Gowther
Gowther was granted the Sin of Lust after he was accused of forcing Nadja, Bartra Liones' elder sister, to commit vile sexual acts, which ended in him murdering her. In reality, Nadja and Gowther were both in love and quite happy in each others presence. It was then revealed that Nadja was close to death and wished to pass her final moments with Gowther. After a moment of passion, she peacefully died within Gowthers' embrace and, in panic, Gowther tried reanimating her by ripping out his magical heart and replacing Nadja's with it, to no avail. In the meantime, Gowther's screaming alerted some nearby guards that find him in a bedroom full of blood with Nadjas' deceased body below him and believe that it was the Princess who screamed.
Escanor
Escanor is accused by the Kingdom of Liones of terrorizing and destroying many villages and towns, gravely injuring the Holy Knights who tried to restrain him, including the Great Holy Knight Zaratras, and for disrespecting the king as well. Labeling him as the Sin of Pride, Escanor is then sentenced to flogging followed by public hanging. Althought most of this is actually true, Escanor did indeed save those villages from a horde of monsters, but the villagers' fear of him led the Holy Knights to believe him responsible and attack him first.
Sacred Treasures Meliodas
Meliodas's Sacred Treasure, the Demon Sword Lostvayne, is a short sword which gives him the power to create a few clones of himself. They are weaker than the original, but are still able to use Full Counter. He sold it in a Pawn Shop in Camelot to get money for the Boar Hat. Merlin ended up buying the sword and returns it to Meliodas at a critical moment.
Merlin
Merlin's Sacred Treasure, the Morning Star Aldan, is a small crystal orb. She can summon it at any time via magic. Its full capabilities are unknown.
King
King's Sacred Treasure, the Spirit Spear Chastiefol, is a transforming spear crafted from the Sacred Tree only found in the Fairy realm. It has several different forms, including a pillow which can act as a shield, different forms of spears, and a large stuffed grizzly bear. Stronger than steel, its various forms possess the mysterious qualities of the tree itself that King's ability, Disaster, draws out.
Diane
Diane's Sacred Treasure, the War Hammer Gideon, is designed for a giant. It is made of a material stronger than steel and weighs approximately 2,200 pounds. It greatly augments the power of her Creation. It became the reward of Vaizel's annual fighting festival after Diane lost it. Diane later regained Gideon during the Holy Knights' attack, quickly forcing them to retreat.
Ban
Ban's Sacred Treasure, the Holy Rod Courechouse, is a four-sectioned staff similar in appearance to a nunchaku. It can strengthen Ban's physical and mental abilities to their maximum, as well as lengthen and distort its chain angle, allowing him to attack at any opponent from any angle and over a significant distance at an extremely high speed. It was stolen during his imprisonment in Baste Dungeon. Later, Merlin recovered it somehow and returns it to Ban.
Gowther
Gowther's Sacred Treasure, the Twin Bow Herritt, is an archery bow made of light. It is capable of projecting multiple waves of light simultaneously, greatly increasing the range of his Invasion.
Escanor
Escanor's Sacred Treasure, the Divine Axe Rhitta, is a giant, ornate battle axe with a one handed hilt. It possesses the ability to absorb and store the enormous amount of heat Escanor radiates from his body during the day and release it on command. It is so heavy, even Meliodas has difficulty carrying it.
Seven Laws of the Seven Deadly Sins
There exist seven laws that each member of the group is required to abide by. So far, only five of these laws has been revealed. The laws were created by Meliodas.
Unknown Unknown "A Sin shall ask no questions of another member's sin." "If a friend is in crisis everybody needs to use all of their power to help." "When two Sins are in disagreement they can resolve it with a fight." "If two Sins are fighting to the death, the other five must do their utmost to stop them even if it means eliminating the perpetrator." "Make sure to come together and work as a team every now and then." Gallery

Trivia According to Dreyfus, only a member of the Sins could go toe-to-toe with the previous Great Holy Knight, Zaratras. The manga depiction of the animals and colors associated with each of the sins differs from the conventional representation : Meliodas bears the symbol of the Dragon and is associated with Blue, while Wrath is represented by a Bear and Red ; Merlin bears the symbol of the Boar and is associated with Indigo, while Gluttony is represented by a Pig and Orange ; King bears the symbol of the Grizzly Bear and is associated with Green, while Sloth is represented by a Goat and Blue ; Diane bears the symbol of the Serpent and is associated with Orange, while Envy is represented by a Dog and Green ; Ban bears the symbol of the Fox and is associated with Red, while Greed is represented by a Toad and Yellow ; Gowther bears the symbol of the Goat and is associated with Violet, while Lust is represented by a Cow and Pink ; Escanor bears the symbol of the Lion and is associated with Yellow, while Pride is represented by a Horse and Purple. Each Sin was a Diamond ranked Holy Knight before they were framed. Whether or not their ranks were restored after their names were cleared has not been mentioned.

Famine. Pestilence. War. Death. Four Holy Knights of four great disasters who will destroy the world. LANCELOT EXPLAINING THE FOUR KNIGHTS' PROPHECY TO PERCIVAL AND DONNY.
The Four Knights of the Apocalypse
The Four Knights of the Apocalypse「黙もく示し録ろくの四よん騎き士し, Mokushiroku no Yonkishi」, also known the "Knights of Prophecy"「予言の騎士, Yogen no Kishi」 are a group of four Holy Knights prophesized to appear and bring destruction to Britannia, as well as lead the King of Chaos and his Eternal Kingdom to their doom.
They are the central, eponymous focus of the sequel manga to the Nanatsu no Taizai series.
Overview
The Four Knights of the Apocalypse, as their name indicates, are said to be an order of just four knights, who each hold unique powers and are foretold to emerge in the not-so-distant future.
These "World's Destroying Knights"「世界を滅ぼす騎士, Sekai o Horobosu Kishi」 are prophesized to by bring upon four different Calamities「厄災, Yakusai」 destined to ruin the King Arthur and his Kingdom of Camelot:
Hence, Camelot's Holy Knights have taken on the mission of locating and killing these four would-be knights in order to prevent the prophecy's fulfillment, while the Kingdom of Liones are said to similarly be in search of them.
It has been discovered that, while real, the four "knights" have yet to form a group or even be Holy Knights proper. Supposedly, they are still young boys more likely to be "Apprentices", hence them being said to not yet "exist" in the present. Part of the prophesy is an abstract vision of the four:
One possessing "gold-colored magic"「金色の魔力を持つ少年, Konjiki no Maryoku wo Motsu Shōnen」 ; One having both holiness and evil in his eyes「瞳に聖と魔を宿した少年, Hitomi ni Sei to Ma wo Yadoshita Shōnen」 ; One being mysterious with no fixed appearance「姿定らぬ謎多き少年, Sugata Sadamaranu Nazo-ooki Shōnen」 ; One with "verdant, wing-like hair"「鳥の羽の如き翠の髪の少年, Tori no Hane no gotoki Midori no Kami no Shōnen」.
Percival is the first Knight to be revealed. After Percival's group arrive at Liones, both Lancelot and Tristan are revealed to be Knights of the Apocalypse too. Finally, the fourth Knight is revealed to be Gawain.
Is later revealed that their destiny of "destroying the world" indeed refers to putting an end to Camelot's dimension since its existence is endangering the world. In fact, the four are destined to save the true world.
When Percival sacrificed himself by abandoning his human existence to return to being a Life Spirit, the prophecy of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse was thought to be broken. However, Percival was revived two years later, setting the prophecy back into motion.
Members Four Knights of the Apocalypse
Gawain Famine「飢餓, Kiga」 Lancelot War「戦争, Sensō」 Percival Death「死, Shi」 Tristan Liones Pestilence「疫病, Ekibyō」 Trivia The Four Knights of the Apocalypse are based, in name and concept, on the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse from Christian Lore (referred to as "Four Knights" instead of "Horsemen" in Japanese Bible translations). They are four figures mentioned in the New Testament's Book of Revelation, which are to set a divine end time upon the world as harbingers of the Last Judgment. Due to repeated translation and interpretation of the Book of Revelation, the first Horseman is often said to represent "Pestilence", particularly in pop culture, rather than "Conquest" as is most accurate. In a similar way to the Seven Deadly Sins, though the members of this group are the heroes, their epithets represent negative concepts. All four knights primary weapons are swords, mostly created/connected to Dubs : Gawain: Rhitta (sword) forged from a piece of the Sacred Treasure, Rhitta Lancelot: Shirojika originally created by Dubs for Nanashi. Tristan Liones: Dragon Handle, originally part of the Coffin of Eternal Darkness created by Dubs. Percival: Dragon Handle and Force Circular both created by Dubs. All four knights have some kind of connections to Seven Deadly Sins : Percival is considered the surrogate son of Zeldris, younger brother of Meliodas. Tristan is the son of Meliodas and Elizabeth Liones Lancelot is the son of Ban and Elaine and the nephew of King and Diane. Gawain was raised with help by Escanor and Merlin who are also her parents.

Britannia「ブリタニア, Buritania」 is a major landmass divided into various kingdoms and the main setting of most of the events in The Seven Deadly Sins series.
Background 3,000 years ago
Britannia, along with the rest of the world, was created by Chaos thousands of years ago, before it was sealed away by two of it's creations, the Demon King and the Supreme Deity, after they created their own separate realms and their own individual races.
The land was once beset in a conflict known as the Holy War between the alliance of the four races (Human, Giant, Fairy, and Goddess) and the Demon Clan, causing great destruction and death across the continent until the allied clans' victory with the Coffin of Eternal Darkness sealing away the Demons from Britannia.
In present day, it is believed that the Holy War was a result of the five races fighting over the overflowing magic within Britannia and paid dearly for it.
Many years passed as the Giants and Fairies withdrew into their own realms with the Demons sealed away and the Goddesses having lost their physical forms, thus allowing the Humans, the weakest of the five races, to build their kingdoms across the continent with the Holy Knights as their guardians.

Trivia Britannia is the old name for Britain. In the world of The Seven Deadly Sins, the territory shown as Britannia is actually Britain's northern territory, Scotland. Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland. At the time the series seems to be set, Scotland as it is now geographically would not have been considered part of Britannia (modern day England and Wales before the Anglo-Saxons invaded) but rather Pictland or Alba (what it is still called in it's indigenous language, Scottish Gaelic). Although taking place in a Celtic area, little of Celtic culture is shown, the only example being the soundtrack resembling Gaelic folk songs. Despite there having been claims that there are other lands outside of Britannia existing in the world, none of been shown nor directly mentioned in the series.

Chaos「混沌」 is a primordial will that created the world, the five races and even the gods. It is described by Merlin as an impure entity of darkness that even Demons fear and a pure entity of light that even Goddesses worship.
After being sealed away by two of its creations, the Demon King and the Supreme Deity, it came to exist within a transient form known in legends as the Mother of Chaos「混沌の母」, with all monsters having been born from her. In this form, Chaos also appeared in the legends passed down by the Celestial Clan, as a being known to them as the Great Oshiro「オシロ様」 who gifted them the Winged Sword.
Following the Demon King's destruction, the balance of light and darkness he maintained with the Supreme Deity to keep their creator forever sealed was broken, thus allowing Merlin and the Lady of the Lake to free Chaos from its mossy prison and allowed it to return to the world in a new vessel: Arthur Pendragon, who therefore became the King of Chaos and allowed the entity to reawaken once again.
Appearance
Chaos itself is a will, therefore it does not have a physical form. However, it has assumed physical existence through its creations which each have inherited part of its power, thereby serving as proxies.
Despite not being a physical entity, in Merlin's description of Chaos, it is depicted as a humanoid figure, shining as bright as a star.
Personality
Almost nothing is known about its personality, except that it was disappointed with its creations prior to making humans due to them not living up to its expectations. However, it saw humans, despite being much more flawed than the other races, as its greatest creation due to them being the ones closest to mirroring the will of Chaos itself.
The entity seemed to have shown conflicting traits upon dividing itself into every one of its creations. Most noticeably, it displayed loyalty and trust as Hawk Mama, destructiveness and sadism as Cath Palug, rigidity and adherence as the Demon King and Supreme Deity, respect and kindness as the Sacred Tree, and lastly wisdom and intelligence as the Lady of the Lake.
According to its human vessel, Arthur Pendragon, despite being hosted inside of him, Chaos isn't necessarily his to command as the entity simply uses Arthur as a medium to interact with the world it created and despite whatever he intends, it will always act on its own to protect his life as his demise would leave it without a physical form. This suggests that the entity isn't truly obedient to Arthur as it only cooperates with its vessel's own intentions as long as it doesn't trouble what it wants at the same time and further implies that Chaos has hidden motivations to its actions beyond even Arthur's awareness.
History
Said to be born amidst ancient stars that were far away, Chaos created the world out of nothingness before creating three godly creatures known as the Demon King, the Supreme Deity and the Sacred Tree, who would go on to create their own realms and the creatures who inhabit them, each reflecting the nature of their creator: the Goddesses, the Demons and the Fairies.
Afterwards, Chaos created the Giants but was disappointed because they were extremely savage and slaves to their power who knew nothing other than inflicting pain. It then decided to create the Humans by putting all emotions into them such as kindness, bravery, love and beauty as well as cruelty, cowardice, hatred, and beastliness. Despite being the most fragile and shortest lived of all the races, humans were the ones that came closest to embodying the true nature of their creator and thus the entity favored them as its greatest creation.
Both the Supreme Deity and Demon King were filled with jealousy and apprehension of Chaos, fearing that the love and respect that their own races had for them would be stolen by their creator due to its superior power as the true origin of light and darkness. Thus, the two gods joined together and betrayed their creator by sealing Chaos away, allowing them to be the two rulers of the world and believed to be the most powerful entities in existence. Yet, due to Chaos not being a physical entity it was not truly sealed, but came to exist within a moss shell that would be known as the Mother of Chaos and later, Hawk Mama.
At some point, it created both the Lady of the Lake, an all-knowing entity trapped within Lake Salisbury; and Cath Palug, a cluster of Chaos' destructive will who desired to take its creator's power for itself.
Eventually, at some point, Chaos chose Arthur Pendragon to become its human vessel, leading both Merlin and the Lady of the Lake to work towards achieving this goal by breaking the seal placed on Chaos by the two gods, so that the entity could be set free and end the reign of the gods by instead beginning the "Age of Chaos" where humans would be the dominant force in Britannia.
Plot King of Chaos arc
After the Demon King was destroyed by the Seven Deadly Sins, thus disrupting the "balance" between light and darkness maintained by him and the Supreme Deity, Merlin finally saw her chance to revive Chaos.
When Merlin decides to carry out Arthur's awakening, she teleports to Lake Salisbury along with the Sins and Elizabeth. Upon putting herself over the lake, Merlin removes Arthur's body still pierced by Excalibur from the Boar Hat. So, thanks to all the magical power that the lake had accumulated in the battle against the Demon King, Merlin and the Lady of the Lake manage to awaken Arthur as the King of Chaos.
When Meliodas reproaches Merlin for using the Seven Deadly Sins to revive a being that may not even exist, the Lady of the Lake disproves this claim by telling them that Chaos indeed exists and that they have already met it many times before. When no one seems to understand, the Lady of the Lake reveals that they have been traveling upon it and that all that time she has been waiting for her resurrection; leaving everyone shocked to see that she refers to Hawk Mama as the imprisoned form of Chaos. The Lady of the Lake says that Chaos itself is a will, so it doesn't have physical form and that "Hawk Mama" was just a provisional form in which the two gods sealed it. There, Hawk Mama is revealed to be a moss shell whose essence, Chaos, is now inside Arthur. Merlin states that Chaos has chosen to coexist within Arthur, which proves that he is indeed the true "King of Chaos".
When Cath shows itself happy to see Arthur, the Lady of the Lake is alarmed by its presence and tells Merlin not to let it approach Arthur. Cath then devours one of Arthur's arms and when it transforms into a monstrous state, the Lady of the Lake tells them that they must retrieve the arm or they will know how powerful even a fragment of Chaos is. After transforming, the Lady of the Lake reveal Cath's true identity as a monstrous and tyrannical monster that once challenged Chaos for its power but easily lost and was later sealed by the Goddess Clan for its misdeeds. Arthur asks Cath himself about this to which Cath fully admits it to be true and that he only clung to Arthur until he became the new host of Chaos so the beast could devour him. He attempts to devour Arthur, along with the Sins, Hawk, and Elizabeth in a dimension using the fragment of Chaos' power it devoured, but Arthur uses Excalibur to cut Cath Palug in half, destroying its body and seemingly killing it.
After sending the Sins back to Liones, Merlin brings Arthur into one of the castle towers he created unconsciously and is overcome with joy upon seeing only a mere glimpse of the power of Chaos, just as Arthur awakens as is glad to see her in a better mood. She asks him why he is not angry with her as she only revived him for her own desire but Arthur says that despite Chaos' origins and how powerful it is, as long as the one controlling it has good intentions, it could be used to make the world a better place, his positive emotions reflecting that onto Excalibur.
Suddenly, the tower begins to shake and a voice calls out to Arthur, saying it is not done playing with him yet. Arthur and Merlin both recognize the voice belonging to Cath Palug, who survived Arthur's attack and has further transformed into a more powerful and stabilized form. Arthur is shocked, believing he had destroyed him but Merlin claims she will not let Cath get to him as she goes outside and attacks him, claiming she will be its opponent. Merlin struggles against the monster, who still possesses a fragment of Chaos from Arthur's arm as he says that she is not the one he wants to play with, only for Arthur to appear and saying he shall do it for her. He cuts the monsters into pieces and says it is his fault he allowed Cath Palug to get this far and claims it is his responsibility to defeat it, but the monster keeps regenerating and says cutting it will not kill him, but Arthur claims he will do whatever it takes as it is his job to protect Camelot and its people.
Cath Palug mocks him claiming he does not realize he is already lost them and explains, to Arthur's horror, that Camelot was destroyed in the fight between the Seven Deadly Sins and the Demon King in Meliodas' body and despite Arthur's initial disbelief, Cath says he can prove it by using Chaos to see and Arthur's fears are realized upon seeing that his kingdom was wiped off the face of Britannia. Merlin tries to tell him that he can rebuild Camelot and that most of the people were evacuated to Liones, but Arthur is griefstricken upon realizing the people in the underground vault were killed. Cath then takes the opportunity to attack Arthur, only for a barrier to form around him and is attacked by Merlin who Cath then attempts to kill with a breath attack, only for Meliodas to appear and use Full Counter to save him, much to her shock.
Elizabeth and the rest of the Sins appear and claim that Merlin needs to take responsibility for unleashing Chaos, and as her friends, need to let them carry some of the responsibility by protecting her and Arthur from the monster, to her gratefulness. Cath reforms again, annoyed at Meliodas and the other's interference and tells Arthur to simply give up as nothing will last forever, but Meliodas, Ban and the others refuse to give Arthur up to the monster cat who begins its charge and uses the fragment it stole from Arthur to show them visions of a possible future of their own desires but Meliodas manages to break free and Cath mocks them, saying they cannot kill him as he now trascends life and death, but Arthur realizes there is another way to defeat him.
Arthur states that since he can not destroy Cath, he will simply devour him instead and absorb him, much to Cath's amusement as he attempts to devour Arthur and the others by using the fragment of Chaos to manipulate the environment, but Arthur creates an even large vortex which manages to free everyone from their visions as he asks Cath why he wants Chaos so badly, only for Cath to reveal itself as an incarnation of the destructive will of Chaos that only wants to destroy anything and everything and tells Arthur that it will not matter even if he rebuilds Camelot as it will only fall again and his subjects that he failed to save are probably cursing him in death for being a failure.
However, Arthur counters this by saying despite what others may or may not think of him, as long as he can make them safe and happy, it is fine if they laugh at him or talk about him behind his back as he claims he will make an everlasting kingdom where nobody has to suffer or feel fear; Cath finds his notion ridiculous as it is a contradiction and realizes that he fell into Arthur's trap by saying those words. The dimension Cath created then devours the monster into himself, causing Arthur to declare himself as the "King of Chaos". After absorbing Cath into himself, the dimension it created disappears and they find themselves back in the normal world during the night and Merlin explains that by absorbing Cath, Arthur has regained the full power of Chaos and the young king is shocked to see Excalibur transformed again, now in its final form. Meliodas admires Arthur for both his new power and promise to make an everlasting kingdom.
Sistana arc
The power of Chaos is shown again sixteen years later, when Arthur uses it to "punish" Ironside for his failure, at the latter's request. As the knight is tormented by the warped reality created by his king, Arthur explains his intention of "freeing" Britannia for mankind as they have suffered at the hands of the other races for thousands of years, therefore he seeks the protection of the everlasting kingdom of Camelot, where no human will have to know sadness, pain, or threats and calamities of any kind from the others races ever again.
Chaos in Liones arc
Chaos manifests itself in the middle of the fight between Arthur and Lancelot, making the knight take quite a hit. Arthur explains that Chaos acts to protect him, its vessel, regardless of Arthur's will, which prevents Lancelot from anticipating the entity despite his Heart Reading.
Annwfyn Gladiator Festival arc
Arthur reveals that he granted fragments of Chaos to two of the Four Evils, Beltreipe and Worreldane, which turned them into beings that transcended the limits of humans. He calls the other two members, Pellegarde and Ironside, and convinces them to accept the same power in order to become strong enough to match both the Seven Deadly Sins and Four Knights of the Apocalypse. However, the pact came with the cost of them all losing memories of their loved ones to make them truly obedient to Arthur and their kingdom.
However, as the seal in their memories is broken by their forgotten loved ones, they end up entirely consumed by their fragments of Chaos. The Four Evils adopt a Chaos Form that gives them a monstrous and inhuman appearance, while significantly increasing their powers, allowing them to nearly kill three Knights of the Apocalypse with immense ease.
When Lancelot defeat the Four Evils, the essence of Chaos within them is expelled and takes the form of the deformated head of Arthur. Chaos's consciousness curses Lancelot for his interference, but wonders why he didn't kill any of its four familiar vessels. Lancelot says it was because he wanted to eliminate it, by casting his Shining Road on it. Chaos acknowledges Lancelot's power, but manages to slip away seeing that he cannot use his full magical power.
Abilities and Equipment
Chaos is the most powerful entity in the series, far surpassing both the Demon King and Supreme Deity, two of its creations, in power alone and transcends physical existence as a sentient will.
Despite existing only as a will, its power is immeasurable and seems to be capable of creating seemingly anything; it is said in ancient legends to have created the world itself along with the Demon King, Supreme Deity and Sacred Tree simultaneously on a whim, who in turn are so powerful that they are considered to be true gods and each created their own separate dimensions as well as creatures to reside with them, being the Demon Clan, Goddess Clan and Fairy Clan.
Even with their godly powers of light and darkness combined, the Demon King and the Supreme Deity are incapable of matching their creator and were only able to seal it away by incarcerating it into a physical form made from a moss shell, granting the shell sentience and a life of its own, becoming known as Hawk Mama.
Despite its seemingly endless power, Chaos itself lacks physical form and thus requires a host to incarnate itself. After being freed from its mossy prison by Merlin, Chaos took on Arthur Pendragon as its new vessel. However, Arthur himself is initially unaware of Chaos' presence within him and can only use this power unconsciously as he alters the reality around him to his deep, subconscious beliefs, much to his shock.
However, after devouring Arthur's right arm, Cath Palug obtained a fragment of Chaos, which allowed him to the power to transcend life and death, bend time and space to his whim to an extent and trap those around him into visions of a possible future timeline where he can seemingly warp events to his liking. Despite this, he is not undefeatable as Arthur was able to overpower him due to still possessing the majority of Chaos and was only able to defeat Cath by absorbing him after tricking the monster into his own defeat.
Sixteen years later, Arthur has learned to control Chaos, allowing him to create the new kingdom of Camelot in his own dimension just like the realms of the other races, while also making a barrier that denies entry to anyone who hails from the Giants, Fairies, Goddesses and Demons, though hybrids with human blood or artificial beings such as Tristan Lancelot and Gowther can enter with out permission. This dimension is capable of granting any wish (excluding those on the scale of destroying or saving the world), being able to create anything and maintain it for eternity, including dead people. However, none of these creations can exist outside of Camelot to make sure that anyone who has their wish granted will not wish to go back to Britannia.
Despite being its vessel, Arthur had admitted to Meliodas and the Holy Knights of Liones that he can't force Chaos to act against its own desires to fulfill his own, as the entity will always seek to protect his life no matter what Arthur wants, as the death of its vessel would render it unable to assume physical incarnation. This has caused Arthur to describe Chaos as a "mindless will" or "will without a will", showing that despite sharing his form with it, both he and Chaos ultimately have different wants and goals and thus, he can only control Chaos as long as they both have an alingment of interests.
Relationships Humans
Chaos considers humans to be its greatest creation and favors them above all of its previous "experiments", which it has shown disappointment with due to them not living up to its expectations. It views humanity as a physical representation of itself due to them possessing many good and evil qualities, such as bravery, generosity and love as well as cowardice, greed and hatred. Despite this love for humans, they are the weakest and shortest-lived of all other races. The reason for this is unknown, although this may be due to their nature as contradicting and unpredictable as due to them being aware of how much weaker and quicker to perish, they are compared to the other races, they are more likely to act on impulsive emotions such as greed, revenge and love - unlike the serene fairies and warlike giants.
Giants
Before creating humans, the Giants were the first race to be directly created by Chaos. However, unlike humans, Chaos deems the Giant Clan as another "failure", like with the Goddess, Demon and Fairy Clans. This is mainly due to their immense aggressiveness and inability to turn away from war and caring only for strength and glory in mortal combat. They seem to be less likely to form meaningful relationships the way human families do and far more predictable in that they usually only care for violence above all else, knowing usually nothing other than hurting themselves.
Cath Palug
A monstrous, cat-like creature created by Chaos as a manifestation of the destructive side of its nature. Due to caring only for destruction of all things and having a nihilistic outlook on everything in the world, Cath Palug sought to subjugate its own creator to use it as a means to destroy everything that it has created due to the to belief that all things are destined to wither away no matter what and that all things are pointless. Despite this, Chaos easily overpowered its creation and it was left to continue its destructive existence until the Goddess Clan personally felt the need to intervene and banished Cath Palug to Purgatory. Despite this, the creature still sought the power of Chaos to bring absolute annihilation to the world and decided to use Arthur as a means to reawaken Chaos from slumber and devour him in order to make itself the new vessel of Chaos.
Lady of the Lake
A wise and polite entity created by Chaos to inhabit Lake Salisbury, the Lady of the Lake differs from her "siblings" in that she has a far more positive outlook on her creator, in that she doesn't wish to use its power or fear it out of her own oblivious adherence, but instead simply wishes to free her creator so that it may once again return to the world. To this end, she secretly worked with Merlin due to them having an alignment of interests in wanting to break the seal placed on Chaos by the Supreme Deity and the Demon King. This seems to extend to Arthur Pendragon, whom Chaos chose to become its physical vessel in order to reawaken, as the Lady of the Lake referred to him as her and Merlin's master. This loyalty towards her creator further manifests in her hostility towards her "siblings", such as the two gods for sealing their creator away out of fear and ingratitude or fear of Cath Palug due to knowing full well how he desired the power of Chaos for his self-nihilistic agenda.
Supreme Deity
One of the first creations of Chaos, the Supreme Deity was created to be an incarnation of Chaos' power over light and was given by Chaos a mission after being wrought from the entity to maintain a "balance" between herself in the Demon King, this manifesting in what became the Holy War. Despite seemingly being loyal to her creator due to carrying out this directive, the Supreme Deity has shown ingratitude and treacherous intent towards Chaos by instead viewing her creator's wishes for her as a "game" for herself and her antithesis, due to their self-adherence and belief that they are higher beings. Ultimately, the Supreme Deity feared Chaos above all else due to the realization that all of her divine control over the powers of light and creation were only a lesser manifestation of the power granted to her by her creator and was worried that the love and reverence the Goddess Clan, her own spawn, gave to her would be lost should they realize there is her power over light is derived from a higher entity, thus leading her to form a truce with the Demon King to betray Chaos and trap it in a prison that it can't break free from.
Demon King
Along with his antithesis, the Demon King was first created by Chaos immediately after it created the world as an incarnation of Chaos' power over darkness. Given a mission by Chaos to maintain a "balance" between himself and the Supreme Deity, this would ultimately become known as the Holy War and despite following this directive, the Demon King did so not out of actual loyalty or gratitude towards his creator, but instead due to his own self-adherence and viewing it as a "game" with the belief that he is a higher being that knows not fear nor pain. Due to his worries that the worship and fear that his spawn, the Demon Clan gave to him would be stolen by Chaos should they learn that his power over darkness was only granted to him by a higher being, the Demon King plotted to betray his creator by working with his rival to trap it indefinitely, in a prison of moss that it could never break free from on its own, allowing him to secure his place as a "true god of death".
Sacred Tree
Created alongside the Demon King and the Supreme Deity immediately after the world was born, the Sacred Tree has shown to be far less arrogant, self-conceited and less petty entity than the two gods, instead being a far more benevolent entity that acted as an incarnation of nature, showing to have no intent or feeling of what is considered "evil", especially to humans. Despite knowing its power of nature were simply granted to it by Chaos and that it wasn't truly a perfect incarnation of nature, the Sacred Tree never harbored any disloyalty or anxiety towards its creator and simply lived alongside its own creations, the Fairy Clan, acting as a neutral entity in the grand scheme of things, especially concerning the Holy War.
Trivia Chaos is likely based off the concept of the same name from ancient Greek mythology, which is said to be a void state that existed before the world itself and was said to have spawned the primordial gods out of nothingness, similar to how Chaos did the same with the Supreme Deity, Demon King and Sacred Tree. The name Chaos may just be a title given to the entity due to it not having a real name, just as the Demon King, Supreme Deity and Sacred Tree seemed to be more titles than actual names. The name was likely given to it by those who knew of its existence from legend, due to its contradicting nature as a being that personifies both light and darkness simultaneously. It is implied that Chaos, despite appearing as a force, is a sentient entity that has its own will. According to one of its creations, Chaos was disappointed with all races prior to creating humans, whom it viewed as its greatest creation due their nature reflectings its own. During his fight against Lancelot, Arthur claims that as the vessel of Chaos, it will act independently to protect his life regardless of his own intent as he claims it to be a "will without a will", further implying that Chaos does have its own secret agenda that is hidden even from its own host.

The Demon King「魔神王」 is the former ruler of the Demon Clan, as well as the one who handpicked the Ten Commandments by granting them their Commandments. He is also the father of Meliodas and Zeldris, two of the most powerful demons and the two strongest members of the Ten Commandments.
Appearance First appearance as a shadow silhouette The Demon King without his helmet Demon King in Meliodas' body Demon King in Zeldris' body Demon King regaining his youth Demon King possessing the land of Britannia
The Demon King is a robust balding man with a full long blonde curly beard (white in the Anime). His size surpass that of any Giant with ease.
He wears a greyish armor accompained with a torn cape and a horned helmet that cast a shadow over his eyes with the demon clan symbol on it. He also wears black gauntlets in both his hands and a massive sword sheath to contain his large broadsword.
After trying to stop Meliodas' emotions from escaping he lost his right arm in his skirmish with him.
After taking over Zeldris' body completely and regaining his youth, the Demon King takes form as a muscular man far taller than prior, a thicker chest, with long black hair, a long black goatee, and a U-shaped demon mark on his forehead with a star in the middle. He is dressed in a long black rob, black armor on both his arms, armor on both his shoulders and a long katana at his side.
After losing both his hosts, after the commandments were ejected, the Demon King started infusing them into the surrounding plant life, animals and environment including the mountains, taking form as an enormous monstrosity dwarfing a giant and could be seen all the way from Liones.
Personality
Fully devoted to the Demon Clan, the Demon King is very serious in matters that relates to his clan and puts them above all else, forcing worthy demons to become his allies against their will and chastising Meliodas for abandoning his former life just for his lover's sake while showing disgust at the 'effeminate' nature of his emotions. Due to his devotion to the laws of his clan, the Demon King is fully willing to punish any demon who betrays the clan even if it is his own children, evidenced when he ruthlessly killed and cursed Meliodas for his betrayal. He also doesn't tolerate betrayal from his allies, ordering Zeldris to execute the entire the Vampire Clan for their revolt.
Due to his ruling position, the Demon King has no tolerance for deception as he and the Supreme Deity unleashed a fog of fire and lightning that destroyed Belialuin when Merlin tricked him into giving her a blessing without her joining his clan. When he makes up his mind, the Demon King will hear no objection from his subjects and even his own children, as Zeldris didn't dare to disobey him when his father told him he will make Meliodas the new ruler of the Demon Clan. It is also noted that the Demon King is unpredictable, even to his sons, as Zeldris said that he can never know what his father is thinking. The Demon King appears to be even more demonic than his son was, as shown by how Meliodas's emotions angrily called him out when the Demon King deemed him as the destroyer of his plans for the true Meliodas to become his heir again, saying "You Are the Destroyer!"
Due to his nearly unmatched power, the Demon King has extremely high levels of self-confidence that borders on arrogance, openly telling Meliodas, Ban and Wild that there is no way they can pass through the door of Purgatory as long as he guards them, even telling his defiant son that he is the one who decides all that happens in Purgatory. Despite his confidence, the Demon King takes any battle seriously, attacking any foe no matter the level of their strength relentlessly without holding anything back, showing that he doesn't underestimate his enemies. This is probably due to the knowledge that only Supreme Deity can match his power and thus almost any other opponent wouldn't provide him any entertainment enough for him to toy with them or that he prefers to quickly finish any battle he takes part in. However, the Demon King is not above taking pleasure in intense battles, as shown by how he smiled after Meliodas figured out the nature of his magic, and he is also not above praising his opponents even though he is quick to also mock them for their failure, as shown by how he admits to being impressed when Ban, Meliodas and Wild attacked him again after being decisively beaten for over 60 years but taunts them for not understanding they didn't have any ability able to harm him.
Despite his seriousness, the Demon King seems to have a sarcastic sense of humor that varies depending on who he is talking with: When talking with those he disliked, his sarcasm can be ruthlessly straight to it, taking time to mock Meliodas on his defeat and simply returned his bluffs on the curse's advantages himself put on him by taunting him on the much more heavy disadvantages of the Immortality Curse. With those he is on good terms with, his sarcastic sense of humor can be casual, such as when his youngest son was visibly angered by the fact Meliodas was still chosen to be the new King of Demons, he so sarcastically rebuked Zeldris by saying that he shouldn't call his brother a traitor anymore and instead welcome him with open arms as now Meliodas has returned to them. However, his arrogance was what led to his inability to prevent Meliodas's emotions from escaping. The Demon King was confident that only with his true magic power can Meliodas put up any of a challenge against him but his fears made it impossible for him to tap into it, only to be proven wrong when Meliodas uses all his power and destroys his arm. At which point, the Demon King was so shocked and desperate to prevent it that he did no actual action rather than demand his son's emotions to not go back.
When up against an opponent he particularly holds anger towards, the Demon King seems to be willing to brutalize said foe first rather than immediately killing them, left his son bloody and effectively unable to fight back before easily killing him at Holy War, apparently venting out his immense rage at his son for his betrayal. He also isn't above taking pleasure over the suffering of those who he dislikes, as he clearly was pleased by the fact that Elizabeth's curse prevents her from being with Meliodas. Furthermore, the Demon King isn't above mocking his opponents should they fare poorly, taking the time to laugh as Meliodas and Ban could only dodge his attacks.
Despite his ruthless attitude and harsh judgment, the Demon King isn't completely unforgiving and without mercy: While hostile and even mocking towards his traitorous son when he was in Purgatory, he was fully willing to crown his former favored, the strongest son Meliodas as the new demon king when he had returned to his old self and was visibly pleased by this. Cusack even said that their king was being far too compassionate with Meliodas and even noted he did this because he still considers Meliodas as his son despite their mutually antagonistic relationship. Later on, during his fight with Meliodas, Ban and Wild, he offered them a chance to peacefully leave his presence after demonstrating how much more powerful he is compared to them. In addition, the Demon King didn't punish Zeldris for just sealing the Vampire Clan due to being unable to bring himself to kill Gelda, implying that he wouldn't punish his children for an only trivial setback. It can also be assumed that he might not have minded Zeldris's relationship with Gelda due to her being an ally with his clan unlike Elizabeth whom separated from his son along with her own mother and his rival, having some sympathy for his youngest son when he couldn't bring himself to kill his former lover and hence why he was willing to allow him to seal the Vampires away instead of killing them like he originally ordered.
History
Shortly after the creation of the world, the Demon King was created by Chaos, alongside the Supreme Deity and the Sacred Tree.
Following his creation, the Demon King was given a directive by Chaos: to oppose the Supreme Deity. To accomplish this, he created a hellish realm for himself known as the Demon Realm and his own creatures, the Demon Clan, to oppose his counterpart's creation, the Goddess Clan, in a struggle known as the Holy War. According to his firstborn son Meliodas, however, the only reason the Demon King complied with his creator's wishes was due to him and the Supreme Deity both seeing their struggle as a game between the two of them.
Due to having inherited the power of darkness from Chaos, the Demon King lacked true loyalty towards his creator and instead was fearful and jealous of its power being superior to his own. After seeing Chaos create the humans, which it deemed its greatest creation, the Demon King began to realize that the Demon Clan may cease to revere him should they learn of Chaos' existence and decided to form a truce with the Supreme Deity, due to her also fearing Chaos, so the two of them could remove the biggest threat to their power. However, their combined power was still inferior to Chaos and they realized that destroying their creator was impossible, so they instead opted to imprison it inside a prison of moss where it would remain inactive as long as they continued to maintain a tentative balance between light and dark, further motivating them to continue their conflict.
6,000 years ago
Sometime after imprisoning Chaos, the Demon King turned his attention to bringing his creations, the Demon Clan, under his control by uniting the forces of the Demon Realm under his rule. This proved a challenge due to its sheer size and lawlessness as a hellscape. To solve this, he created an extremely powerful demon known as the Original Demon to serve as his retainer by splitting his power in half and granting it to him. However, the "Sinner" saw a chance to seize control and tried to rebel against the Demon King, only to fail and be split into two lesser demons as punishment, known as the Chandler the Pacifer and Cusack the Dozing.
Realizing that giving too much power to any one individual was a risky move, the Demon King devised a more efficient method of gaining control over the Demon Realm without giving anyone too much power, by further splitting his halved power into ten pieces and giving them to the ten most elite warriors of the Demon Clan who were considered loyal enough to trust to an extent, creating the Ten Commandments to serve as his elite guard. This equilibrium would continue for another three thousand years, the Demon King's army constantly clashed against the Supreme Deity's, but their forces were too equal and thus decided to have a treaty of peace despite their opposite natures. However, the peace was unfairly broken by the Supreme Deity's subjects and fellow goddesses, who killed even the bystanders from the Demon Clan. These actions made both rulers fall in rivalry again.
Eventually, the Demon King would begin to realize that sacrificing half of his power to create the Ten Commandments, as well as the power sacrificed to create his clan and their realm had considerably weakened him and thus, he realized that he could regain that lost power by taking on a younger, fresher form by using the Commandments to assimilate a new vessel. However, his power was too great for anyone to handle more than one Commandment, and he realized that only a demon of his own bloodline would have the potential to withstand the power of all ten decrees and he decided to use a consort to sire two sons. The first being Meliodas, who was the primary candidate for becoming his new body and the second named Zeldris, who was a failsafe on the off chance that Meliodas were to fail to meet the proper conditions.
Deciding to put Cusack and Chalder to use, the Demon King imprinted false emotions of love so that they would both see the two young demons as their own offspring, with Chandler raising Meliodas and Cusack raising Zeldris. Although its unknown what became of Meliodas and Zeldris' mother, the two would obey their father's orders to become powerful warriors of their clan, both unaware of their father's true intentions and the reason of their birth. Although Meliodas proved to be a natural-born monster, Zeldris found it problematic to assume the purely apathetic mindset his brother had and secretly feared their father. Despite trying to reach out to his brother, Zeldris unfortunately came to see Meliodas as an extension of their father due to his absolute loyalty and lack of conscience, making him unable to speak his mind properly to him.
3,000 years ago
After the betrayal of his son Meliodas for his alliance with his angelic lover Elizabeth and the death of two of the Ten Commandments at the latter's hand during his escape, the Demon Clan entered the war with the Goddess Clan, who took the chance to defeat them by cooperating with the Human, Fairy and Giant Clan. These events were known as the Holy War, which caused the Vampire Clan to revolt against the demon ruler due to having always despised being ruled by him. However, the Demon King personally crushed their rebellion and ordered his executioner to exterminate the defeated Vampires, including his beloved Gelda, although he let Zeldris seal them away instead.
Having heard about a girl from Belialuin who possessed infinite magic though, the Demon King dealt with her at the same time as the Supreme Deity in order to put the girl on his side: When the girl told them that she would follow the one who gave her the best blessing, the Demon King gave her all the knowledge of the magic of the Demon Kingdom as well as immunity to the possession and brainwashing of the Goddesses. Being deceived by the girl who rejected them both taking their blessings, the Demon King and the Supreme Deity destroyed Belialuin in hopes of killing the girl in their anger, but the mage managed to escape with the help of her gifts.
As a result of the forbidden spell used by Gowther, the memories of the Demon King were altered to believe that the Archangel Mael was his second son "Estarossa", feeling pity for him when it was found that his second son was born without the power of darkness and his reputation as a timid coward unwilling to hurt even an insect, which made every demon except Meliodas laugh at him and eventually decided to give Estarossa a Commandment instead. It came at the cost of Estarossa being left mentally unstable as the Commandment slowly ate away at his mind and soul.
During the last few days of the Holy War, the Demon King and the Supreme Deity had lost their patience in their shared anger due to their children's repeated defiance of the laws of their respective clans, so they worked together and fought against Elizabeth and Meliodas, easily killing them and cursing them for eternity. The Demon King cursed Elizabeth with perpetual reincarnation as her punishment to make Meliodas take the hand of one of the Goddess Clan and betraying and killing his comrades, forcing her to live human lives in which she would always reunite with Meliodas and die right before his eyes, over and over again.
The Demon King and the other members of the Demon Clan were eventually sealed away after losing the Holy War. While the rest of his clan was sealed in the Coffin of Eternal Darkness, he was imprisoned in the Purgatory. However, the Demon King continued to observe Meliodas from Purgatory through the eyes of different animals that became his companions, later sending a creature from Purgatory to perform that function. Ever since then, Wild, the brother of the creature, has challenged the Demon King to battle to escape Purgatory and reunite with his brother for 120,118 times, but the Demon King always dealt him a crushing defeat each and every time they fought.
Abilities and Equipment
As the ruler of the Demon Clan and the most powerful Demon, the Demon King holds terrifyingly massive amounts of power, with just possessing a fraction of his power made the Ten Commandments among the strongest demons in existence. According to Meliodas when saying on how to lift the curse on him and Elizabeth which can only be done by someone as equally powerful as the Demon King or more, the Supreme Deity is the only being whose level of power is equivalent to the Demon King's. His prodigious son also said that even his full power augmented by the power that Zeldris borrowed from their father cannot rival his true power nor can he reach the Demon King's level of power by training for the time close to three days with true rivals, so only by absorbing all Ten Commandments can he be equal to the King's immense power.
While he rarely fights, the Demon King possesses unparalleled might in battle even after having delivered half of his power, with Meliodas himself said that he was utterly powerless before his father and was killed effortlessly by him in the Holy War. He was also capable of single-handedly stopping the rebellion of the Vampire Clan, defeating and leaving them at the mercy of his executioner Zeldris. He utterly defeated Wild in all of their countless altercations and effortlessly outmatched Meliodas's emotions, Ban and Wild at once for 60 years without sustaining a scratch. Even after managing to form a counter for the King, in the end, the Demon King was too powerful and only with Wild sacrificing himself was Meliodas and Ban able to escape.
Longevity: Unlike other regular Demons who can only live for 1000 years, the Demon King seems to have an indefinite lifespan. The Demon King had existed since at least 3,000 years before the first Holy War, then gets imprisoned in the Purgatory, a dimension in which one second on Britannia is worth one year in it, for another 3,000 Britannia years, a timespan which would translate to tens of billions of years.
Immense Durability: The Demon King's physical resilience and durability are immense, being completely unfazed by Wild's Guruguru Wild attack. His resilience and durability likely contributed to his ability to easily survive inside Purgatory despite its extreme environment.
Immense Strength: The Demon King also has monstrously massive levels of physical strength, effortlessly flicked Wild away with a great force that tore apart the ground into it using a single finger when the latter charged at him quickly and later effortlessly stopped his attempts to drill him with only two fingers before effortlessly throwing him away.
Master Swordsman: Despite his large size, the Demon King has been seen to hold considerable levels of great agility and speed. Combined with his vast levels of skill and experience, the King can effortlessly wield his giant broadsword with a single hand with extreme finesse, able to deliver devastatingly fast and strong slashes that can effortlessly cut through landscapes. This even easily pressured the extremely fast Ban and Meliodas into the defensive and cut off Ban's arm while the latter himself was barely able to dodge the attack. Later on, when he engaged Meliodas in a one-on-one swordfight, the Demon King easily had the upper hand and quickly defeated him.
High Intellect: The Demon King is shown to be considerably calculating and intelligent, quickly realizing that giving just a single demon half of his power would mean threatening his rule and chose to divide his power into ten pieces so he can still rule the vast, chaotic Demon realm without allowing the challenge. He eventually chooses to use a creature from Purgatory to keep watch over Meliodas after realizing that creatures from the living world are far too weak and less long-lived. From realizing that Meliodas too does not remember anything related to Estarossa, the Demon King realized that all the memories held by the demons on Estarossa were forged and quickly deduced that it must be the demon Gowther due to the nature of the former's powers.
Abilities The Ruler「支配者ザ・ルーラー, Shihai-sha (Za Rūrā)」: The Demon King's eponymous magic ability that also goes by his own name. It allows the user to invert all the attacks sent at him, including Meliodas and Ban's Full Counter and Snatch abilities. All attacks and weakness are converted into healing and fortification. Even the effects of others' powers are completely reversed; per example, when Ban tried to steal Demon King's energy, he was forced to give his own to the ruler. However, as The Ruler functions on the concept of magic inversion rather than magic absorption, any magic meant to strengthen him or increase his power will instead weaken him, as shown by Ban. Despite this weakness, he can easily overcome it by deactivating his own power of inversion. Tansoku no Kenjin「嘆息たんそくの賢人けんじん, Tansoku no Kenjin; literally meaning "Sighing Sage"」: While in Meliodas' body, the Demon King make a disembodied head out of his clawlike protrusions, that shoots out a blast of energy and destroys around the area. Setsuna no Inja「刹那せつなの隠者いんじゃ, Setsuna no Inja; literally meaning "Hermit of Moments"」: While in Meliodas' body, the Demon King make a full-body creature out of his clawlike protrusions, it is able to spin his sharps tendrils to great speeds to attack his enemies, even surpassing Zeldris's swordsmanship. Gokumon-tou「獄門刀ごくもんとう, Gokumon-tō; literally meaning "Hell Gate Blade"」: While in Zeldris' body, the Demon King uses his magic power to create a gigantic sword of darkness. Beast of Darkness: While in Zeldris' body, the Demon King summons a huge many armed creature. Death Zero「虚無デスゼロ, Desu Zero; literally meaning "Nothingness"」: The Demon King engulfs the opponent in his darkness, crushing them with a great pressure. Commandment「戒禁, Kaigon」: After dividing his power in half, the Demon King granted ten fractions of this power portion to ten elite warriors, which delivered a unique curse to whoever breaks a rule specific to each of them. Notably, these curses are active even when their holders are drained of magic, so they can be perceived as different compared to normal magic. This increases the power of whoever is wielding them and if they were to be bestowed to individuals outside the Demon Clan, the Commandments would turn them into Demons as well. It cannot be opposed even by its wielder; only those who also possess a specific immunity such as another Commandment or have received Divine Protection from the Supreme Deity are immune, while the curses will only be lifted if the victim defeats its wielder or at the victim's death. The Commandments can be withdrawn from their wielder if they give their consent, if they are powerless enough to be unable to fight or if they are dead. Curses: The Demon King is exceptionally accomplished in the use of curses, being capable of developing and casting highly unique yet powerful and durable spells. Perpetual Reincarnation「永劫えいごうの輪廻りんね, Eigō no Rinne; literally meaning "Perpetual Samsara"」: A durable curse that causes the victim to reincarnate when they die and forget everything they did in their past lives. If the victim is given enough information regarding their true identity, their original race's traits and fragments of their memories will slowly come back. Once all their memories are restored, the victim will unavoidably die in three days in some way. If used on a Goddess, it causes them to reincarnate as a human but retaining their original power. The only known victim is the Goddess Elizabeth and the only way to remove the curse is to obtain a level of power equivalent to the Supreme Deity or the Demon King, if not superior. Nature Manipulation: The Demon King has powerful control over the elements, causing a fog of death as well as fire and lightning capable of killing all the inhabitants of Belialuin along with the Supreme Deity. On his own, the Demon King was able to send out several strikes of thunder at Meliodas with a single hand movement. Manipulation Immunity: It can grant an individual with immunity to the possession and brainwashing powers of the Goddess Clan. This negation spell was used on Merlin. Power Transference: The user can transfer different powers to others, including all the secret techniques of the Demon Clan and lending a portion of his power to others. This supporting spell was used on Merlin and Zeldris when the younger demon became his representative and obtaining the power God. Telepathy: The Demon King has the ability to telepathically communicate with his representative even while still sealed in Purgatory. Through unknown means, the Demon King also can see through the eyes of creatures, even from other worlds like Hawk. According to Meliodas, his father used to keep watch over him to make sure he carried out his duties via the creatures around him. Creation: As stated by the Lady of the Lake, similar to his “siblings”, the Supreme Deity and the Sacred Tree, the Demon King possess the ability of creation. Having created his own race, the Demon Clan, to rule over and created the separate dimension of which he and his subjects resided in, The Demon Realm, himself using his own raw power. Weapons Large Broadsword: The Demon King wields an enormous broadsword with a curved tip in a similar concept to the large broadsword Meliodas wielded 3,000 years ago, but it is much larger. It is strong enough to easily kill Meliodas when later was at his full power and break his broadsword. Katana: While possessing Zeldris, the Demon King wields a katana-like sword in conjunction with his darkness powers. Relationships Demon Clan Meliodas
The Demon King once was very fond and proud of Meliodas due to his surpassing power and skill, greatly acknowledging his power and considering him to be the most worthy and only heir to the throne. His trust of Meliodas is displayed by the fact that Meliodas learned Admonition, from the Demon King considering that Zeldris, the King's Representative, was the only other demon seen able to use the spell to remove Commandments aside from certainly the Demon King himself. His heir was initially loyal enough to his father that he relentlessly did battle with the Goddesses every day and night despite how foolishly he thought of the war between the Demon and Goddess Clan was. This changed after he met, fell for and allied with the Goddess Elizabeth, deciding to betray the Demon Clan and killing two Commandments in the escape. This made the Demon King extremely angry for losing strength and lose his worthy heir, which made their relationship very strained. As Meliodas continues to relentlessly defy the Demon Clan and his laws, the Demon King's resentment for his oldest son soon escalates to the point that he finally engaged him personally, which ended in utterly defeating Meliodas and subjecting him to a brutal beating, ruthlessly killed and cursed him with Immortality to forever separate him from his lover and punish him for his defiance, something that made Meliodas strongly despise him and resulted in their extremely antagonistic relationship being mutual.
Even centuries after, the Demon King still retains a grudge and resentment for Meliodas, although he shows it much more subtly and as he is able to see right through his eldest son, he is one of the few able to remain entirely unaffected by his son's bluffs, evidenced when the Demon King only lightly mocked Meliodas after he was briefly killed by Estarossa and descended to Purgatory in which his son openly bluffed in front of him of the advantages of his curse which he was unfazed by and calmly pointed out the disadvantages of Meliodas's curse and how he can feel Meliodas's immense rage and fear to come from him to taunt him. Despite feeding on his emotions, the Demon King despises how effeminate Meliodas became after falling for Elizabeth, openly saying that he was disgusted by it and feels that Meliodas has no need for the existence of his emotional self. He has shown extreme rage in how far Meliodas had fallen in his eyes when he angrily yelled at his son's emotions for having defied his father and considers him to be a danger that will destroy his plans for the true Meliodas to ascend to the throne. However, the Demon King still considers Meliodas to be his son and the rightful heir to his throne despite all that happened between them, appearing to be willing to fully dismiss Meliodas' former betrayal should he ever return and in fact actually having always planned to revert Meliodas back to the Demons, delightfully revealing the idea of bringing his oldest son back to the fold and says that Zeldris should rejoice as Meliodas will finally return to the Demon Clan after he fell back into his former self and sternly making it clear that he will not hear any objection of Meliodas' rule. However this was later proven false, as in truth the Demon King only saw Meliodas as a extension of himself and as a suitable vessel for him to possess in order to once again spread terror and death upon Britannia, later he even went as far as trying to brutalize Elizabeth in order to further break his eldest sons soul in order to make it easier for him to take over his body, further showing his callousness and complete disregard towards his eldest sons feelings.
Zeldris
Zeldris, like his older brother Meliodas, also has a bad relationship with his father; The Demon King saw Zeldris as someone weak, only cared for him as a tool and had no problem or care in attempting to kill his younger son himself once Zeldris turned against him. He has shown immense disappointment in him for choosing to seal the Vampire Clan rather than slaughtering them, as he originally ordered to do so, for the sake of his lover Gelda, and showed loathing, disappointment, and hatred after hearing of Zeldris's goal of obtaining the throne from him in order to make the Demon realm into a peaceful and prosperous land.
Gowther
The Demon King once acknowledged Gowther's power as a magician enough that he forced him to become a member of the Ten Commandments. When Gowther defied him, the Demon King imprisoned him and seems to despise him for that. Zeldris has said that his father is extremely angry upon learning Gowther escaped and his anger towards Gowther seems to increase even more after learning he had tampered with his memories, calling him a "damned bastard".
Original Demon
The Demon King created the Original Demon and gave him his power and was known to have trusted him the most among his retainers up until his rebellion. Despite his rebellion, the King, after having defeated him, spared his life but split his body and soul into two beings called Chandler and Cusack and despite the Original Demon's treachery, the Demon King seemed to have overlooked this and even trusted Chandler and Cusack to train his two sons, displaying acknowledgment of their abilities. It seemed that both Chandler and Cusack, having grown attached to their students, had become loyal to the King once again and although Cusack expressed disapproval of the King's still favoring Meliodas, he never challenged his decision directly.
Goddess Clan Supreme Deity
Despite being mutual enemies as leaders of opposing clans, they are capable of working together when the situation demands it. Such as when they teamed up to punish their children during the Holy War for their continued defiance to the laws of their respective clans, and when they destroyed Belialuin together when they were decieved by one of its inhabitant.
Elizabeth
The Demon King has a strong resentment and hatred for Elizabeth as she is the reason why his heir Meliodas betrayed the Demon Clan. He evidently was sadistically pleased that Elizabeth's curse prevents her to be with Meliodas, as shown when he laughed when referring to the curse Elizabeth was under, later he offered to remove the Perpetual Reincarnation curse placed on her which was only so he can brutally kill her so that he may relish in Meliodas's pain further showing his resentment to her and his sons relationship.
Other Chaos
The relationship between the Demon King and his creator is never shown, other than the fact that he was anxious that the reverance and fear that his creations, the Demons, devoted to him would be stolen away by Chaos, whom he had inherited the power of darkness from. He was fearful enough of Chaos that he was willing to work with the Surpeme Deity, despite being mutual enemies, to seal away their own creator to allow them to be viewed as the most powerful entities in the world, with no superior.

- #31Supreme Deity
Keys: The Supreme Deity
BIOLOGICAL DESCRIPTION RACE Goddess (Progenitor) GENDER Female AGE Unknown STATUS Unknown HAIR COLOR Silver EYE COLOR Orange BLOOD TYPE O STATUS RELATIONSHIPS Chaos (creator) Goddess Clan (creation) Elizabeth † (daughter) Meliodas (son-in-law) Tristan Liones (grandson) AFFILIATION Goddess Clan Celestial Clan OCCUPATION Ruler of the Goddess Clan (formerly)
The Supreme Deity「最高神」 is the former ruler of the Goddess Clan, ancestor of the Celestial Clan, and the one who granted the Graces to the Four Archangels. She is the mother of the original Elizabeth, and by default her subsequent reincarnations.
Appearance
The Supreme Deity appears as a slender woman with a curvaceous figure and ten wings in total, and is bigger than any giant or Indura in stature and she is seemly about the same size of the Demon King. She has pale skin and long white hair, but her face appears as light itself nearly too bright to look at. It can be seen that she has blue lips and the same eye color as her daughter, with the symbol of the Goddess Clan as pupils.
She wears a white dress with a cross symbol in the middle, silver gauntlets on her hands and a halo. Under her halo of light, she visibly has the face of a mature woman similar to Savage Elizabeth.
Personality
Like her rival the Demon King, the Supreme Deity is fully devoted to her clan and thus willing to punish any of her subjects should they go against their own laws. Due to her ruling status, she hates being deceived, furiously killing the inhabitants of Belialuin along with the Demon King when Merlin betrayed her and took her gifts without standing at her side.
However, it should be noted that she did not immediately punish Elizabeth despite already being with Meliodas before she saved some of the Ten Commandments, suggesting the Deity was, if even reluctantly willing to tolerate their relationship so long as Meliodas was an ally to the Goddess Clan. While harsh in her judgment and rule in regard to the laws of her Clan, the Supreme Deity is willing to forgive her subjects or child if they redeem themselves in her eyes and abide by the laws of the Clan again, at least according to Ludociel.
Despite her issues with the Demon King, she has worked with him in the past, notably when they destroyed Belialuin for Merlin's lies, punished Meliodas and Elizabeth for having fallen in love and sealed their creator Chaos away out of fear and envy.
In Cursed by Light, it is revealed that the Supreme Deity is stoic, unforgiving and is the exact same as her rival. She states the reasons for committing all her devious acts were to continue the Holy War, with her and the Demon King having always seen it as a game. Oddly enough, she feels as though the war isn't meant to end and aspires to restart it under the pretense of it being what maintains the balance of "light and darkness" in the world. She also acts without hesitation or remorse in any and all actions, acting condescending to those who disagree with her, attacking or killing even her loyal subjects to achieve her goals and calling everyone, including her own child, whom she views as a mere creation, as lower beings when compared to an actual divinity such as herself.
History
Shortly after the world began, the Supreme Deity was created by Chaos, alongside the Demon King and the Sacred Tree.
After being created, the Supreme Deity was given a directive by Chaos: to oppose the Demon King. As a result of this "mission", she would use her godly power to create a heavenly realm known as the Celestial Realm and lesser creatures resembling her known as the Goddess Clan, in her own image so that they could oppose the creations of the Demon King, the Demon Clan, as part of their "game" due to the fact that the Supreme Deity wasn't truly loyal to her creator and only followed this directive due to it being aligned with her own desires.
However, having only inherited the power of light from Chaos, the Supreme Deity not only was disloyal to Chaos, but was fearful and jealous of her creator due to its power greatly surpassing her own. This anxiety only grew after Chaos created what it deemed to be its greatest creation: humans. She came to the belief that she would no longer be revered as a divine figure by the Goddess Clan if they learned of Chaos' existence as a even greater being of light than her. Knowing that her antithesis felt the same towards their creator, the Supreme Deity agreed to a temporary truce with the Demon King so they could remove Chaos from the equation.
Despite combining their powers, the two gods were still inferior to Chaos and were incapable of destroying their creator. Realizing the impossibility of their goal, they sought an alternative by rendering Chaos in a state where it would be powerless to do anything: by trapping it inside of a physical prison of moss where it would forever remain asleep as long as the two of them maintained a tentative balance between the forces of light and darkness, further motivating them to continue their "game".
6,000 years ago
With her creator now sealed, the Supreme Deity was able to establish herself as an indisputable godly figure by uniting the Goddess Clan under her total control. At some point during her struggle against the Demon King's forces, she would create four divine powers known as Graces as a counter to the Commandments created by her rival and thus gave these powers to the four most powerful and loyal goddesses who would become her own personal warriors, the Four Archangels. Soon, the Supreme Deity would also give birth to a daughter named Elizabeth who inherited part of her own power and was able to rival the Four Archangels. Despite this, Elizabeth knew that her mother felt absolutely nothing towards her, instead viewing her as an extension of herself and another game piece in her eternal conflict against the Demon Clan - going as far as to view Elizabeth as a "creation" instead of her own flesh and blood.
The Supreme Deity's army constantly clashed against the Demon King's, but their forces were too equal in power and thus a fragile treaty was formed despite their opposing natures. However, the peace was unfairly broken by her own subjects, who even slaughtered innocent members of the Demon Clan. Whether she was involved or not, these actions made both rulers fall in rivalry again.
3,000 years ago
After the betrayal of the Ten Commandments' leader and her rival's eldest son Meliodas for his alliance with his lover, her own daughter, and the death of two of the Commandments at the latter's hand during his escape, her clan joined with the humans, Fairy Clan and Giant Clan in order to finally defeat the Demon Clan. These events were known as the Holy War, though the Supreme Deity's feelings towards her daughter's actions are unknown.
Around this time, news of a miraculous human girl from Belialuin who possessed infinite magic soon spread to both the Celestial and Demon Realms, resulting in the Supreme Deity trying to persuade the girl to join forces with the Goddess Clan in help defeating the Demon Clan, along with the Demon King doing the same. When the girl told them she would follow the one who gave her the better gift, the Supreme Deity gave her resistance to dark curses, including the Commandments of the Demon King. However, when the girl deceived them by taking both their blessings, the Supreme Deity and the Demon King in their fury destroyed Belialuin by making it rain fire and lightning and unleashing poison mists and fogs upon the land, completely annihilating Belialuin and its inhabitants.
During the last few days of the Holy War, the Supreme Deity and the Demon King had lost their patience of their children's repeated defiance of the laws of their clan, such as saving the lives of two Commandments in the middle of a war on Elizabeth's case. The former rivals decided to work together, fighting against Meliodas and Elizabeth, effortlessly killing them and cursing them for eternity. [1] The Supreme Deity cursed Meliodas with immortality as his punishment, reviving him every time he died, in exchange for his emotions being consumed more and more by the Demon King until his son would return to be the bloodthirsty demon he once was.
The Supreme Deity was finally sealed away after the Goddess Clan used the Coffin of Eternal Darkness to seal the Demon Clan. However, she continued to observe everything for the next 3,000 years through the eyes of her daughter Elizabeth's reincarnations.
Plot The Seven Deadly Sins: Cursed by Light
Several months after the death of the Demon King and the end of the New Holy War, the Supreme Deity awakened from her seal. Determined to restart the Holy War, she took the second Fairy King, Dahlia, and the giant craftsman, Dubs, as pawns. Using Breath of Bless, she brought both of them under her control, causing them to invade the Demon Realm and send an army of fairies and giants to destroy the Seven Deadly Sins and their allies. At the same time, the Supreme Deity brainwashed the resurrected members of the Goddess Clan, forcing them to attack Mael and those who ended the Holy War.
The Supreme Deity would finally appear in the midst of the battle raging in Liones. When she is questioned about her motives, the Supreme Deity states that the Holy War should never end.
When her army of Goddesses begins to be outnumbered, she unleashes her Shinrai on everyone present, including her allies. The present members of the Seven Deadly Sins confront her with several of their techniques, but they are rendered useless both by her immunity to physical attacks and by her ability to neutralize the magic of the Sacred Tree that King employs. After throwing another Shinrai at them, Ban who manages to resist it attacks her with the remains of it, although she claims that her own power of light cannot but scratch her. When the Sins stand firm before her, the Supreme Deity decides to eliminate them with all her power. However, Meliodas arrives and uses Full Counter to return her attack.
After showing her fury at Meliodas for seducing Elizabeth and ruining the Holy War, the Supreme Deity is held back by Zeldris, allowing Meliodas to attack her, leading her to claim that he wants to kill her lover's mother just as he killed his own father. Elizabeth then confronts her by demanding that she leave her and declaring that there was never love between the two, warning her to confront her if she continues to hurt those she loves.
The Supreme Deity claims that neither understands that the eternal conflict to which the Demon and Goddess Clan were bound by the Holy War was necessary to maintain balance in the world. When Elizabeth asks why, Meliodas says that from the Demon King's memories he knows that both gods were created with the mission of continuing an eternal conflict and that for them the Holy War is nothing more than a game. The Supreme Deity says that an inferior being cannot have an opinion on the intentions of a god and that she must destroy them all for the Holy War to start again.
During her final confrontation with Meliodas and Zeldris, she is finally overcome by their joint efforts. As she fades away, she berates them that by destroying the balance of the world they will create an era of chaos, but the brothers claim that no matter that kind of era comes, they will decide their future for themselves. Thus, the two use their Combined Technique: Tyrant Killing to destroy the Supreme Deity.
Power
As the creator and ruler of the Goddess Clan, the Supreme Deity is terrifyingly powerful, being the most powerful goddess in existence. A testament to her immense strength is having ten wings that further indicates her power is far above all other goddesses, as the second most was six wings, seen briefly when Mael, in his Estarossa persona, was in possession of four Commandments.
According to Meliodas, she is the only known being who is equal in power to the Demon King. As Meliodas stated only herself or the Demon King or someone whose power is equivalent to or greater than them can lift the curses that he and Elizabeth were given, showing further testament to her immense power. While she rarely fights, the Supreme Deity's might in battle is terrifying, as evidenced by her ability to easily overpower and kill Meliodas in the Holy War of which Meliodas claims that he was utterly powerless to fight back against Elizabeth's mother.
Despite her godliness and immense strength, her power isn't absolute as she is surpassed by Chaos. It took her power combined with the Demon King, her antithesis and equal in power, just to seal their progenitor away, which suggests her power is far below that of her creator. She also stated if Meliodas haven’t given up his power as the new Demon King, then he would've been able to defeat her far more easily.
Abilities Ark「聖櫃アーク, Āku; literally meaning "Holy Chest"」: An archetypal magic technique of the Goddess Clan that creates light particles. [2] Unknown Power: The Supreme Deity possess a magic power that makes her invulnerable to physical attacks. It is like an opposite form of the Demon King's power. [2] Breath of Bless「祝福の息吹ブレス・オブ・ブレス, Buresu Obu Buresu」: A spell that only a high-ranking Goddess could use. The user gathers light in their palm to create some kind of symbol and blowing it over their desired target, with those affected get a magic power boost. This technique is called Cheat Hope「ペテンの光チートホープ, Chīto Hōpu; literally "Scam Light"」because it is also a brainwashing spell that turns the targets into fanatical zealots with no regard of their injuries and keep on fighting until they are broken and dead. [2] Shinrai「神雷しんらい, Shinrai; lit. "God Thunder"」: A spell that brings forth tremendous lightning burst fall from the sky. Its power is such that not even Chastiefol's Pollen Garden and Gideon's Lightning Rod were able to completely stop it. [2] Divine Power of Ten Wings「十じゅう翼よくの霊れい威い, Jūyoku no Reii」: The Supreme Deity can absorb energy similar to her own power like the Sacred Tree's power when King used Sunflower on her, where she easily absorbed the attack while taking some minor damage. [2] Grace「恩寵, Onchō」: The Supreme Deity can create a set of the ability which enhances the power to those she sees fit while giving them an additional power related to nature. However, it cannot be given to humans as it would rip their body apart, immediately or not. Dark Curse Immunity: This negation spell grants immunity to any type of dark curses, including even the Demon King's Commandments. It was used on Merlin and all of the Four Archangels. Curses: The Supreme Deity is exceptionally accomplished in the use of curses, being capable of developing and casting highly unique yet powerful and durable spells. Immortality「永遠えいえんの生せい, Eien no Sei; literally meaning "Eternal Life"」: A curse that revives the victim without fail regardless of the means of death, including suicide or getting killed, no matter how many times they die. It additionally prevents the victim from dying of old age. In exchange for the infinite number of revivals, the victim's emotions are slowly drained to nourish the user. The only way to dispel the curse is to get a power equivalent to the Demon King or the Supreme Deity herself, if not superior. The only known victim of the curse is Meliodas. [1] Flight: As a goddess, the Supreme Deity possesses wings for flight. She has the most amount of wings of any Goddess, with ten in total as compared to the four each possessed by her own daughter and the Four Archangels. Power of Creation: The Supreme Deity created both her own realm separate from Britannia, the Celestial Realm, and the immensely powerful Goddess race on her own, further giving credence to her godly power. Vision: The Supreme Deity claimed to see everything that occurs through the eyes of Elizabeth during her 3,000 year-long seal. [2] This ability to the Demon King's ability to observe the events of the world through Hawk's eyes to watch over Meliodas. Relationships Goddess Clan Elizabeth
Elizabeth is the daughter of the Supreme Deity, inheriting part of her power and often supporting her Archangels. However, their relationship was a strict, unloving one as her mother only begotten her for her succession to the throne of the Celestial Realm and held no concern for her daughter's wellbeing. Their relationship ultimately became strained as Elizabeth fell in love with Meliodas, the eldest son of the Demon King, and the two rebelled against their parents in an effort to end the Holy War peacefully. However, their relationship grew bad enough when Elizabeth saved the lives of two Commandments in the middle of the Holy War, making the Supreme Deity incredibly furious and had no qualms on personally killing and cursing her daughter as punishment for her actions.
Despite constantly forgetting their past, her mother's actions evidently made Elizabeth resent her greatly, making their strained and antagonistic relationship mutual. However, Ludociel has said that the Supreme Deity might revoke her curse of Perpetual Reincarnation if the current incarnation should side with the Goddess Clan, implying that she still to an extent considers Elizabeth her daughter and would welcome her back should she forsake Melodias, return to the Clan and follow their laws again. However, Elizabeth would fully forsake her mother in defense of Meliodas after becoming freed of her curse; the latter calling her an inferior being as she attempted to destroy her daughter.
Demon Clan Demon King
Despite being mutual enemies as leaders of opposing clans, they are ultimately cooperative for the sake of continuing the Holy War as it was necessary for their roles to maintain the balance of the world; though the conflict itself was nothing more than a game to them. As such they worked together to seal away their own creator, Chaos, and later punished their children during the Holy War for their defiance and attempts to end the fighting peacefully, as well as when they destroyed Belialuin together when they were deceived by one of its inhabitants.
Meliodas
Though she is not fond of him, especially since he is not only the son of her arch-rival but the demonic love interest of her daughter, the Supreme Deity has been shown not to have a special hate for Meliodas as she does with other demons including the Demon King but seeing as how she was willing to accept him on her side of the Holy War and tolerate his relationship with her daughter prior to them saving Monspeet and Derieri. It shows that at most she simply has an enormous dislike to him for being her sworn enemy's son and causing her daughter to stray from her strict teachings.
Other Chaos
Though her relationship with her creator is never shown, it is known that she was afraid that the love and worship her creations devoted to her, the Goddesses, would be stolen away by Chaos, whom she had inherited the power of light from. Her fear of Chaos was great enough that she was willing to work with the Demon King, despite being mutual enemies, to seal away their own creator in order to allow them to be known and revered as the most powerful entities in the world.

Keys: The Lady of the Lake
BIOLOGICAL DESCRIPTION GENDER Female STATUS Alive STATUS RELATIONSHIPS Chaos (creator) AFFILIATION Lake Salisbury Excalibur
The Lady of the Lake「湖の姫」 is an entity wrought from Chaos, currently dwelling in Lake Salisbury.
Appearance
Her appearance is mostly unknown as she dwells within the lake, but her silouhette shows her as a slender woman with long hair.
Personality
Not much is known about her personality except that she is intelligent and usually calm as she explains in Merlin's place the reasons for the Boar Sin's actions as well as her goal, not showing any emotion even after being yelled at by Diane who thinks the Lady of the Lake doesn't know anything about Merlin who is their friend, to which she agrees. She doesn't personally know Merlin and simply states what she does know about her.
She is capable of showing emotions such as fear and shock upon seeing Cath appear from the Boar Hat and becomes panicked as she tells Merlin not to let it get close to Arthur and quickly tells the Sins they must quickly retrieve Arthur's arm from Cath or they will see how powerful just a fragment of Chaos can be in the wrong hands.
History
At some point, Chaos created the Lady of the Lake within Lake Salisbury for unknown reasons.
According to the legend, the Lady of the Lake bestowed the sword Excalibur upon the human king, Carfen, back when it was just a regular sword.
Plot King of Chaos arc
When Merlin decides to carry out Arthur's awakening, she teleports to Lake Salisbury along the Sins and Elizabeth. Upon putting herself over the lake, Merlin removes Arthur's body still pierced by Excalibur from the Boar Hat. She says that all the preparations are set and asks the "princess" if she is ready, to which a voice from the lake asks if it is finally time to meet their master.
When Arthur is resurrected as the "King of Chaos", Meliodas asks Merlin why she would awaken a power that is both a blessing and a curse, and demands to know what her desire is out of suspicion. The voice from the lake asks to be allowed to explain instead of Merlin, about the desire made by a single lonely witch who wandered the land in search of chaos. Meliodas asks the voice to tell him who it is and to show itself. The being, revealing herself as the Lady of the Lake and the "Priestess of Chaos", apologizes for not being able to leave the lake. Meliodas is skeptical of her words as he explains that in the 3,000 years he has existed, he has never heard of a being called Chaos except from Merlin a few moments ago. The Lady of the Lake reveals that this is because Merlin hid that truth from everyone.
Meliodas asks her what she is talking about, which leads the Lady of the Lake to narrate Merlin's past and her past, one-sided love for Meliodas who was never reciprocal. The Lady of the Lake finally explains that Merlin dedicated her life to resuscitating a being known as Chaos, the one who created the world, the gods, and the five races, and for that she used the Seven Deadly Sins to destroy the Demon King in order to disrupt the balance between light and darkness that he and the Supreme Deity upheld. Diane reacts very angrily, stating that Merlin is their comrade and that she doesn't know what she's talking about.
The Lady of the Lake admits that Diane is correct as she herself doesn't know Merlin personally nor ever spoken to her before now. However, she reveals that is aware of a series of facts, such as that Merlin was the one who asked the giant Dubs to create the Coffin of Eternal Darkness to seal the Demon King and the Supreme Deity. And recently, it was also Merlin who deliberately delayed her Chrono Coffin for the Demon King to possess Meliodas, that she was the one who reactivated Elizabeth's curse after Meliodas destroyed it and finally made Meliodas launch their combined attack into the lake; all in order to achieve her goal to bring Chaos back.
Meliodas exclaims furiously that if she reactivated the curse for that reason, to which Merlin replies that she also saved Elizabeth. Meliodas then asks if forming the Seven Deadly Sins was also only in search of her goal, to which Merlin does not respond. The Lady of the Lake mentions that hating someone until she wants to kill him but at the same time being able to love him is what human beings do, so she wonders if since they and Merlin are of different races, they will ever really be able to understand each other.
When Meliodas reproaches Merlin for using the Seven Deadly Sins to revive a being that may never exist, the Lady of the Lake states that Chaos exists and that they have already been face to face with it for a long time. When no one seems to understand, the Lady of the Lake reveals that they have been traveling on it and that all that time has been waiting for her resurrection; leaving everyone shocked to see that she refers to Hawk Mama. The Lady of the Lake says that Chaos itself is a will of power, so it does not manifest itself in physical form and that Hawk Mama was a provisional form that the two gods sealed it away in. There, Hawk Mama is revealed to be a moss shell whose content, Chaos, is now inside Arthur who has become the heir of its power.
When Cath shows itself happy to see Arthur, the Lady of the Lake is alarmed by its presence and tells Merlin not to let it approach Arthur. Cath then attempts to devour Arthur, but only manages to tear off his right arm due to Meliodas' intervetion and when it transforms into a monstrous form, the Lady of the Lake tells them that they must retrieve Arthur's arm quickly or they will soon know how powerful even a fragment of Chaos is.
The Lady of the Lake says that she did not recognize the creature immediately because its appearance and magical power differs greatly from the past. Merlin asked her if she knows his true identity, to which the Lady of the Lake exposes Cath as the tyrannical monster that challenged Chaos long ago, Cath Palug.
When Cath Palug absorbs Arthur, Elizabeth and the Sins within another dimension created with the fragment of Chaos that he absorbed, the Lady of he Lake stays outside and watches as Arthur releases everyone using a reincarnated Excalibur.
Abilities/Equipment
Her abilities are currently unknown, except for the fact that she is extremely knowledgeable and supposedly posseses limitless magic.
Relationships Merlin
The Lady of the Lake has stated that she has never talked to Merlin herself nor personally knows her, and simply tells of what she does know about the sorceress, displaying a very neutral tone and when talking to Merlin about reviving Arthur as the "King of Chaos" shows a more business-like demeanor, showing their relationship is mutually for their shared desire of turning Arthur into the new vessel of Chaos and nothing more.
Cath Palug
While the monstrous cat doesn't take any notice nor caring toward's the Lady of the Lake's presence, the entity herself is very fearful and anxious of the beast's appearance from the Boar Hat, panickedly telling Merlin to not let Arthur get near him and saying that they have to kill the monster after it consume Arthur's right arm.
Arthur Pendragon
Being the chosen vessel of Chaos, the Lady of the Lake refers to Arthur as her "master" and worked with Merlin to help free Chaos from its slumber and allow it to use Arthur as its anchor to the physical world. Despite her interest in Arthur being due to the fact that Chaos itself chose Arthur to host it, she has shown to be protective of Arthur's life when she realized Cath Palug was after the power of their creator and was in admiration upon seeing him wielded the reformed Excalibur to stirke down the beast.
Chaos
Unlike most of her "siblings", the Lady of the Lake has shown to be very loyal to her creator and sought nothing more than to reawaken Chaos from the slumber forced upon it by the Supreme Deity and Demon King, showing neither fear or envy of its immense power, nor did she seek to try and take the power for herself. To this end, she would end up meeting Merlin, who also wished for the awakening of Chaos for her own reasons. This alignment of interests would cause the two to work behind the scenes to set up the conditions needed for Chaos to be returned to the world, such as the destruction of the Demon King and using the immense magic housed within her lake to allow Chaos to be transfered into Arthur and out of its prison.
