He is most noticeable for his massive spiked metal shoulder plates.

His Seven Deadly Sins Goat symbol is located on his right pectoral muscle.

Personality
During the battle between deformed Dale and Dawn Roar, Gowther first reveals himself, speaking in a distinctive emotionless manner. His expression never changes, being perpetually blank and his speech bubbles are distinctively square, as opposed to the round bubbles of everyone else. Despite his emotionless nature, Gowther does care about others, as shown when he protects Pelio from an attack from the Armored Giant. He is shown to be completely clueless and unconscious of other's feelings, not understanding the meaning of friendship. Often he states things factually, not understanding how what he says can upset people. He decides to assist Elizabeth on her journey not because of his sense of just, but because he feels obligated as a member of the Seven Deadly Sins.

As Armando
When Gowther disguised himself as Armando, he displays an easily embarrassed attitude, frequently playing with Pelio and his group. He demonstrates thankfulness towards Pelio who saved his life many years ago, and is shown to be willing to endanger himself to save him from any dangers.

History
Ten years ago, Gowther, along with the rest of the Seven Deadly Sins, was summoned to a castle to meet the Great Holy Knight, Zaratras. After they found him dead there, all of them were ambushed by the Holy Knights.

Some years ago, Gowther was walking in the Ordan Forest where he saw a strange powerful creature who cut off bears head with ease. Later Gowther was found by Pelio outside of the village, badly injury and collapsed. He was subsequently carried back to the village by Pelio, who did so despite having weak little hands, and continued to look after him until he was healed. The Deadly Sin decided to take on the persona of Armando, and was hired by Pelio's father to look after the young boy.
