King

King (キング) is a member of the Seven Deadly Sins and is the Sin of Sloth with the symbol of the Grizzly. He is the master of the Black Hound, Oslo. King's real name is Fairy King Harlequin, and as the name suggests, he was the king of the fairies.

Appearance
King's appearance resembles a small child with short orange colored hair, a large forehead, thin eyebrows, and orange eyes. He wears an orange and green sweatshirt with brown sleeves, mid-length pants, and buttoned shoes. He also carries a leopard pattern pillow.

King's wanted poster depicts him as big man with short hair, side burns, a bulbish nose, and a sneer.

His Seven Deadly Sins Grizzly symbol is located just above his left ankle and on the outer side of his lower leg.

Personality
When he first appeared, he is shown to be a ally to the Holy Knight and appears to be willing to wipe anyone out if they got in his way - along with the person he is after. Since he is the Sin of Sloth he might be lazy, as shown through his feet not touching the ground. In the past he was shown to be a kind and tender person who return the stuff stolen from children by Ban. Furthermore, it appears that he is a fairly emotional person who cries easily.

King is also shown to be a very shy person who cannot convey his love for Diane. Although he actually enjoys being together with Meliodas and Diane, he could not bring himself to reveal it. He also deeply cares for his sister, Elaine, as shown when he is willing to take revenge for her death by killing Ban.

King is still shown to have the caring side he had ten years ago by helping the Seven Deadly Sins in their battle. Despite being the Sin of Sloth, he is shown to be hard working and serious at moments. When King join up with the group, King started to act like the only sane man of the group and questioned his teammate. When King is forced to do something he dislikes, he can easily be motivated if it will make Diane happy.

Despite King kind personality, he is not above to kill someone if they proved a big treat or to avenge. King was willing to kill Geera and Jericho if they keep on attacking him but didn't when Meliodas stop him and Helbram saved them both.

History
700 years ago, King was the ruler of his country and his spear Chastiefol was made in the fairy realm next to his country. Later King left his country and his sister, Elaine, who was left fighting against loneliness.

A long time ago, Ban went through a phase of collecting stuffed animals. Actually, he went round stealing every stuffed animal in the kingdom, thinking that he wouldn't be cursed if he did such a small deed as he worked hard as a knight. Immediately, King grew angry at Ban, complaining the little children throughout town are crying. Whilst Ban finally grew satisfied and fell asleep, King silently returned all of the stuffed toys to the children.

10 years ago after the incident, King went back to his hometown to see his old family and friends. But he discovered that a bandit had stolen the hidden treasure, Fountain of Youth, and had killed the Guardian Saint who was his sister. King later found out that Ban had killed his sister and wanted revenge on him and join the Holy Knight to do it.

Capital of the Dead Arc
King is looking out a window, when Gilthunder comes and tells him that Ban has joined up with Meliodas and Diane. He then wonders why they decided to move, when Gilthunder tells him to not betray his trust. King tells him to keep that stuff to himself and that he has his own way of doing things. Suddenly, a Black Hound, named Oslo, enters the house and King welcomes it back. He asks it if it had found Meliodas and the others, which he understands when it says yes. He then notices something in it mouth and pulls out two Holy Knights Crests, whilst telling Gilthunder that the rest of the Holy Knight better stay away or he will wipe them away along with his enemies . Later, King appears before Ban and delivers a surprise attack by stabbing him in the chest. When Ban questions who he is, King replies by stating that it is not important and quickly pierces his spear completely through Ban. Acknowledging the fact that Ban is confused by who he is, King reveals that Ban had killed the saint of the Fountain of Youth to obtain immortality. Immediately after hearing King stating his sin, Ban quickly sends Ellen and her brother away, and engages in a battle with King.King swiftly hovers towards Ban, attempting to pierce him again with the spear, but Ban jumps up and dodges his attack.

Before Ban could return with an attack, King immediately uses his levitation abilities to perform the technique, Bumblebee. Despite the simultaneous strikes, Ban still continues to dodge all of the strikes and finally attempt a kick on King. Once again, the attack failed, forcing the impatient Ban to activate his ability Snatch, but just before he could activate it, Meliodas arrives and intervened the battle. Diane and Meliodas immediately recognizes King, and upon hearing that this is King, Ban was very shocked and dumbfounded. Despite Diane being happy to meet him, King quickly runs away without saying a word.

After escaping, King continues to spy the rest afar, whilst complaining that he made it appear as if he ran away. He then comments on how cute Diane is and how it is almost impossible that Meliodas still looks the same. Finally, he complains about Ban, stating that Ban are fooling the rest of them. Out of the blue, Oslo barks at him, leading King to ask what is wrong, when he sees Meliodas, Elizabeth, Hawk, Diane, and Ban at the edge of the town. A subtle wind whips up all the petal on the flower field, and the characters are all teleported to the Capital of the Dead. Noticing that Ban begins chasing a mysterious figure, King quickly follows whilst wondering how they were able to enter the Capital.

Whilst continuing to chase Ban, King provokes him, leading Ban to attempt landing an attack which he easily dodges. Noticing that King was able to dodge with ease, Ban begins acknowledging the fact that it is the real King, and begins to fight more seriously. King uses his pillow as a decoy, cushioning Ban's punch and dodging quickly. Stating that he did not desire to reunite with Ban in such a situation, King narrates how he came to discover his hometown to have been burned to the ground and the death of his sister. His pillow transforms into a form of a giant stuffed bear, immobilizing Ban by restricting all of his four limbs whilst he angrily reveals that the Guardian Saint whom Ban killed was his sister. When Ban, in response, declares that he is immortal, King uses a form of his sacred treasure that petrifies all whom it impales. Ban's skin around the impaled area are shown to have petrified.

When Ban's body completely solidifies, King starts to leaves but notices sphere of light appearing in front of Ban. King is then shocked when he notices that it is actually Elaine. Confused, he sees Elaine kissing Ban and undoing the petrifaction. He asks why Ban can see Elaine whilst he could not, revealing his jealousy and disconcert. When he hears Elaine's voice, he asks to let him see her. King then questions whether Elaine is still mad at him for abandoning her and isolating for many years. However, he exclaims that there is no reason to save Ban, because he took everything from her. Angered, King asks what Ban is doing to his sister, only to hear Ban saying that he will make her his. King is left behind by Ban who heads to assist fighting Meliodas and Diane fighting against Geera.

King continues questioning Elaine why she forgave Ban and not him, but Elaine simply replies that he left her alone for over 700 years whereas Ban gave her renewed happiness in just seven days. Before King says anything else Elizabeth and Hawk comes running by whilst trying to escape from Geera. He asks who they are, so Elizabeth and Hawk introduces themselves and that they are currently traveling with Meliodas. Elizabeth tells him that a Holy Knight has suddenly appeared and is fighting against Meliodas and Diane, who in response, asks her whether she came to seek his help. Surprisingly, Elizabeth bravely tells him to run away instead and tries to borrow his spear to fight against Geera. Feeling inspired by Elizabeth's bravery, King activates levitates and heads to the battle.

During the fight, King suddenly appears behind Geera and thrust his spear through Ban to attack Geera. Ban then asks why he is their, which he says that he is their to help Meliodas and Diane. Geera then blasts herself free and says that King detrayal was expected, which King says that he had no intention of siding with them. King then easily defense against Geera's next attack. When Geera says that she wants all four to attack her, which King says that he will deal with her alone. King then easily puts Geera on the run by having his spear chase her. When Geera uses Brilliant Detonation, King uses his spear's fifth form to defeat her technique and then to defeat her.

King then turns away, but Geera gets out of the rubble and attacks King. King then was saved by Meliodas and notices that Geera's presence has left. Afterwards King along with the rest are rejected by the capital, which Elaine thanks him for protecting Ban before they leave. When they return to the living world, they sees how Geera got to the capital of the dead. King then volunteers to petrify her but Meliodas says that he will handle this.
