Deathpierce

"I have no obligation to serve a country that has made a Demon and Goddess its King and Queen. I will build a country for humans and humans alone."

- Deathpierce's grudge and determination to rebuild Edinburgh.

is the grudgeful king of Edinburgh, rebuilding his country after its destruction by the Vampires.

Formerly, Deathpierce is a Holy Knight of Liones and a member of the Pleiades of the Azure Sky, who served under the Assistant Great Holy Knight, Denzel Liones. After Denzel's death in the hands of Derieri and the manipulation of the Pleiades in the hands of Ludociel, he developed a grudge towards both Demons and Goddesses. After Meliodas and Elizabeth Liones were crowned as the new king and queen of Liones, he refused to serve his kingdom and defected back to his home Edinburgh.

Appearance
At age 35, Deathpierce is a man with long silver hair and a mustache. He wears a yellow regal knight attire with blue gauntlets.

At age 50, as the king of Edinburgh, Deathpierce hair got white, and have grown a beard and long mustaches as he seems to have gotten thinner over the years. He wears a set of bronze armor with one shoulder-pad being bigger than the other, blue pants under the armor and a white cloth around his waist.

When he was corrupted by his Chaos Staff, he turned into a huge, humanoid, muscled, yellow monster with a thin, long tail, a tiny head with flesh mustaches and a small mouth full of sharp teeth. Another, bigger head grew on his back with no mouth, bulging orange eyes and an oversized nose with wings growing around it. Symbolizing Deathpierce's hate, there are a couple of flesh puppets of Derieri and Ludociel (in Margaret's body) chained to his chest.

Personality
Deathpierce is polite and calm compared to his friends first noted as he politely requested a battle with Meliodas from King Bartra as to witness the strength of the Dragon's Sin of Wrath.

Although, after Derieri took Denzel's life, he started to develop deep anger towards the Demon Clan.

His emotions towards the Goddess Clan soon turned to fanaticism after Ludociel "gifted" him with strength using Breath of Bless to the point of talking down to Elizabeth who tried to explain the effects of the spell and pushed a female citizen aside beforehand.

After being freed from Breath of Bless's brainwashing, he abandoned the Pleiades of the Azure Sky and left the Kingdom of Liones. He would not remain in Liones where a Demon and a Goddess was their rulers. His mindset now bordered on bias views against Demons and Goddesses and desired to rebuild the Kingdom of Edinburgh, only with humans.

Many years later, this personal bias festers and quickly escalates to a generalized hatred for all other non-human races, even those who are generally perceived as allies of humans, coming so far to wanting to destroy every one of them.

As his mind drifts deeper into hatred and madness, he becomes cruel and vengeful. For instance, he curses Elizabeth and attempts to hurt Tristan solely to make Meliodas suffer.

History
Deathpierce was originally from Edinburgh, where at some point during his youth he befriends a small fairy who he named Invisible due to her being invisible to everyone but himself.

After the fall of Edinburgh, he was recruited by Denzel Liones and joined the Pleiades of the Azure Sky order of Holy Knights of Liones.

He and Waillo then witness Dogedo battling Meliodas and later praised the Dragon's Sin of Wrath's impressive fighting instinct.
