Merlin

is a member of the Seven Deadly Sins and the Sin of Gluttony with the symbol of the Boar. Gowther states that she is the person who attacked and rendered Meliodas unconscious during the ambush ten years ago. She was regarded as the greatest mage in Britannia and is the master of Vivian as well as a teacher of King Arthur of Camelot.

Appearance
Ten years ago, she was wearing a full set of armor with a unique helm that resembles a beetle like the rest of her fellow Seven Deadly Sins except it has a long skirt on it and wears high heeled boots. Merlin's wanted poster depicts her as a young woman with long black hair. Merlin's Seven Deadly Sins tattoo is located at the left side of her neck and is colored red hence her nickname "Crimson Pig".

After ten years, she first wears a long violet cloak that covers her whole body. However, when the cloak was ripped apart, Merlin is shown to look very similar to her appearance on her wanted poster. She is seen as a slim, attractive woman with three beauty marks below her right eye. Her outfit is of a highly revealing and open fur collared long coat with heart shaped buttons, short shorts with a heart on it, and thigh high boots. Merlin's hair is at shoulder length and light grey, somewhat shorter than her hair in her wanted poster. She is also seen to be incredibly tall, dwarfing fellow Sins Meliodas and King.

Personality
Prior the Seven Deadly Sins' supposed betrayal, Merlin's demonstrates a playful nature, telling her teammates that their meeting with the Great Holy Knight might turn out to be a scolding from their superior for destroying the Great Druid Altar. Merlin is also apologetic asking for her captain's forgiveness for knocking him out. She enjoys mocking and challenging others, teasing her apprentice Vivian for losing herself to rage again.

History
Not much is known of her past, but Merlin joined the Seven Deadly Sins after committing a sin related to her title the Boar's Sin of Gluttony. It is known that Merlin participated in missions the Seven Deadly Sins were assigned to; such as the defense of the Maiden Castle of Edinburg from a group of vampires, and defeating a Tyrant Dragon. At some point of time, Merlin and her fellow Sins met with King Liones who was accompanied by young Elizabeth, according to Gowther.

Merlin once took in Vivian as her apprentice in the arts of magic and constantly reminded her to fix that habit of losing herself to rage. Ten years ago, Merlin, along with the rest of the Seven Deadly Sins, were summoned to a castle to meet the Great Holy Knight, Zaratras after defeating a troll queen and accidentally destroying the Great Druid Altar. After they found him dead, all of the Sins were ambushed by Liones' Holy Knights. For a yet unknown reason, after Meliodas ordered the group to disperse, Merlin apologized to him and knocked him unconscious.

At some point, Merlin joined the Kingdom of Camelot and became a mentor to the new king, Arthur Pendragon and traveled with him to Liones to free Bartra Liones from the Holy Knights.
