Demon Clan

The Demon Clan is one of the five major races in the world of Nanatsu no Taizai.

Overview
Three thousand years ago, the Demon Clan waged a great war against the Goddess clan, who had allied with the Human clan, Fairy clan, and Giant clan. They were ultimately defeated by the allied clans and sealed away in the Coffin of Eternal Darkness for many eons. However, in spite of their fate, a few demons managed to escape from or avoid the seal completely, namely the Red Demon, Gray Demon and Fraudrin. Fraudrin would spend the last three thousand years trying to find a way to break the seal and to resurrect his clan, so they could take over the land of Britannia. Nine members of the Demon Clan, namely the Ten Commandments known to be a group of elite warriors handpicked by the Demon King himself, were resurrected when Hendrickson managed to break the seal in present day.

Appearance
It is known that the Demon Clan hold monstrous and demonic appearances as their names suggests, but each has their own unique appearance. This can been seen in the Red and Gray Demon. Many of the demons take on the appearance of a human.

Powers and Abilities
All Demons have the power to manipulate the mysterious black matter, utilizing them in various ways such as flight, enhancement of their current powers and abilities and forming any other weapons they desire. They can live up to 1000 years.
