Jericho

Jericho (ジェリコ) is an apprentice Holy Knight who served under the Weird Fangs. She was stationed at the Baste Dungeon, where the Deadly Sin, Ban was imprisoned.

Appearance
She is young woman of slim build, with light hair that is swept over the left side of her face and tied into a ponytail at the back.

Armor
She wears a black coat over her armor, adorned with a cross on the left side and larger cross covering the back. Underneath her armor are similarly fashioned black clothes. Metal gauntlets cover her arms, while metal greaves and sabatons cover her legs and feet.

Personality
Jericho is a proud and serious individual. She is stern in her command over the guards of Baste Dungeon and overconfident in her abilities, appearing arrogant at times, which led to her humiliation by Ban.

History
Nothing is known about Jericho's past.

Baste Dungeon Arc
As Ban escapes from his cell after hearing that his captain was still alive from the guards, Jericho investigates the disturbance, soon finding the Deadly Sin. Showing only slight irritation, she demands he quickly return to it. Unimpressed by her arrogance, Ban, calling her a "brat", tells her to watch her attitude "when talking to a hero". Jericho retorts, calling him a "half-dead criminal" and instructs the guards to report to "Lord" Golgius that a prisoner had attempted to escape and that she had no choice but to kill him. She then attacks Ban without warning, launching a flurry of slashes, but is shocked to find that not one of her attacks managed to strike Ban. She wonders how he was able to dodge her attacks despite his severe wounds, only to realize that they had all healed. Ban then shows her a scar on his neck, stating that only that wound was "what you would call a wound", and that it was a special case.

Defeated and disrobed by Ban in order to get an armor and clothes, an embarrassed and angered Jericho orders the guards to search for Ban as well as bring her a change of clothes and armor. Later, after getting a new set of clothes and armor, she leaves the the dungeon along with the rest of the guards before Meliodas and Diane go in. She asks Golgius, who was with her, what his orders are, and is surprised when the Holy Knight triggers the Eternal Seal spell and says that even ten Tyrant Dragons couldn't break the spell. She is later shown to be shocked when Baste Dungeon is destroyed.
