Dale

Dale was a Holy Knight and father to Geera and Zeal.

Appearance
Dale was a tall man with short, light hair and thick eyebrows. Much like his daughter, Geera - his eyes appear to be naturally closed. Dale was clothed in armor typical of a Holy Knight during his flashbacks.

Personality
Dale was remembered as a kind man and a loving father. He admired the Seven Deadly Sins and wished to become like them so his daughter would be proud of him. Though classed as a traitor after his disappearance, the incident is shrouded in mystery.

History
Dale (known affectionately as "Doting Dale" by his comrades) joined the Holy Knights 10 years prior to the beginning of the series. He disappeared while undergoing a mission, leading to the deaths of many people. His disappearance was considered traitorous, and he was reported to have deserted his post. In the wake of this incident, his children were left to deal with the shame his actions had brought upon their family.

Many years later he was discovered by Gowther in the mountains near Ordan. His appearance during this time was radically different. His mind had long since been lost and his body was deformed into a grotesque, multi-limbed giant. Sensing the danger posed by Dale's monstrous incarnation; Gowther used his armor to seal the tragic knight's raw, uncontrollable power.

Abilities/Equipment
Dale's strength and abilities as a human remain unknown, though as a Holy Knight it can be assumed that he was quite strong. He was also seen carrying a sword on his waist.

The monstrous form Dale takes on after his disappearance greatly increased his strength to the point where he was able to effortlessly annihilate a group a knights. He was also able to stand his ground against the dangerous knight group Dawn Roar and managed to take numerous attacks from both them and the Seven Deadly Sins before finally succumbing to Meliodas' immense strength. Dale displayed multiple demonic power during his fight against both groups and was shown to have a strong regenerative ability and incredibly tough skin.
