Ban

"And I'll tell you one more thing. A real sin... can't be erased, no matter whaaaaat you do."

- Ban to Ellen and her brother in Touching Reunion

Ban (バン) is a member of the Seven Deadly Sins and is the Fox's Sin of Greed. He was initially imprisoned in the Baste Dungeon, before escaping when he discovered that Meliodas was still alive.

Appearance
Ban is a tall muscular man with pale skin, who has light colored short wild hair, thin eyebrows, and red eyes. He also has a scar on the left side of his neck, which was given to him by Meliodas. He wears a maroon colored jacket and pants with metal pieces sown into both, and light colored shoes.

When he had been imprisoned, his hair had grown past his shoulder and he had grown a beard and a mustache, but cut them all by utilizing Jericho's attacks.

During the ongoing arc, Ban wears an apron since he lost his shirt while facing King.

His wanted poster's image, which is rather accurate, shows him to have long hair that extends past his shoulder, with some hanging in the front. his to be have long hair that extends past his shoulder, with some hanging in the front. The poster's image also has a view of his scar.

His Seven Deadly Sins Fox symbol is located above his waist on his left side.

Personality
Ban is shown to be a passionate man. He likes doing things that are to his interest such as exiting jail after hearing his captain was alive, and trying to steal Meliodas's sword to discover why it was so important. So far, he has shown some aspects of greedy and selfish desires.

Despite his selfish and greedy personality, he also has a caring side, which is shown when he rushed toward Ellen as she fell unconscious, and provided her and her brother food in return for information. He also seems to show great care for Elaine.

Ban is quickly surprised and excited, as shown when he discovers Hawk's ability to talk and that the child he was fighting is actually King. Furthermore, when King transformed back into his previous, older form, Ban was the only one who appeared to be astonished.

History
Nothing is known of Ban's early life, except that he has had a comparatively bad childhood. Before he became a member of Seven Deadly Sins, Ban, then known as Bandit Ban, wanting to gain immortality, climbed the gigantic tree, in the Fairy King's Forest, where the Fountain of Youth was located. There, he found Elaine, who, thinking he had malicious feelings, who blew him off the tree, only for Ban to persistently and repeatedly climb back again and again, with actions of each annoying and angering the other. He, expressing his surprise of seeing a supposedly young girl like Elaine being the guardian of the fountain, removes his three-section staff and prepares to fight, and seemingly attacks her, but instead manipulates his staff to get the cup that has water from the fountain. Before he could drink from it, however, he is quickly bound by the branches of the trees by Elaine.

He then gives up on immortality, thinking that his trip was wasted, and Elaine, having read his mind and realizing he didn't have malicious feelings, unbinds him. He tells her his name, and then answers her question about why he wants immortality; he had thought that even if his life hadn't been very good till then, if he lived long enough, "something good would happen". As he listens to her saying that she had been protecting the fountain for seven hundred years in the place of his brother, he comments that it must have been "boring as hell" which irritates Elaine. He, saying that she was "too much for [him]", climbs down from the tree, and apparently leaves. However, he soon comes back up and says that he had gone down to get his Ale collection book, which he had dropped when he was blown away by Elaine.

During the next seven days, both of them become good friends, with Elaine even starting to have feelings for him. When he hears Elaine stating her desire to go out of the forest, questions her if she actually wants to do so, and as she tells him to not make fun of her, responds, saying he is serious and that he doesn't get along with people particularly well. She, however, denies his offer, explaining that she had to protect the fountain, leading him to then offer to find her brother and bring him back, which will relieve her of her duties allow her to go of the forest. Hearing that, she hugs him, surprising him. Suddenly then, a demon from the Demon Clan suddenly starts burning the Fairy King's Forest with its purgatory fire. Instructing Elaine to get the cup and escape, he uses his three-section staff to remove the heart of the demon with one hit. However, the demon turns out to still be alive, since demons have more than one heart. It then uses its claws to fatally wound both Ban and Elaine, who, in desperation, gives him the cup which has the water from the Fountain of Youth. Since he didn't have the strength to even drink the water due to his wound, Elaine makes him drink it through a kiss, thus making him immortal. His wounds healed due to his newly gained ability, he angrily and quickly kills the demon with his weapon.

As the whole forest burns due to the demon's purgatory fire, a dying Elaine gives him an almoca leaf, which is the forest's last seed, asking him to plant it somewhere. He then declares that he will definitely "make her his", but is cut off by her death. Sometime later, he is shown to be on the death row for apparently destroying the forest himself, drinking the fountain of youth, and killing Elaine. As he is asked for any last words, he simply says that his name was wrong, and that he was Undead Ban, not Bandit Ban.

After his imprisonment, Ban is executed a total of 33 times, all of the executions having no effect on him due to his immortality. Sometime later, Meliodas arrives at Ban's cell, intending to have the convict join him, and is warned by Ban's guards of the man's immortality. As Meliodas enters the cell, Ban, thinking that another execution was to be performed, tells him that he will merely sit as he is executed, only to find that the individual who had entered was a child. The young man then asks Ban to come with him, he refuses and states that nothing existed for him outside, and to Meliodas' declaration that he will take him out by force, states that he will not restrain his strength even against a child. Their battle is revealed to have ended with Ban being punched out of his cell, Ban being extremely by the fight; he then requests that they continue their battle. To Meliodas' statement that he would have to join him for continuing, Ban merely continues to smile, implying that he later joined his captain for merely continuing their fight. After he had become a member of the Seven Deadly Sins, Ban once became interested in Meliodas' sword because his captain never let his sword get out of sight, and tried to steal it. He is then attacked by Meliodas and given a lasting wound, despite his regenerative abilities, that would become later his only scar, which he calls a special case.

Once, Ban had gone through a phase of collecting stuffed animals when he stole every single stuffed animal in the kingdom, justifying his "small" act by saying that he "worked hard" as a knight. This act, however, greatly angered King who complained that the little children throughout the town were crying. After Ban finally grew satisfied and fell asleep, King silently returned all of the stuffed toys to the children.

10 years ago
Ten years before Meliodas and Elizabeth's meeting, Ban, 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 every Holy Knights in the kingdom, with Ban later being able to escape.

5 years ago
Desiring the "feeling of pain that could make him feel alive", Ban intentionally let himself be captured by the Weird Fangs, who then imprisoned him within the Baste Dungeon.

Introduction Arc
Ban's wanted poster is displayed on a board inside the Boar Hat.

Forest of White Dreams Arc
Ban is first mentioned by Gilthunder to have been imprisoned in the Baste Dungeon. After Meliodas and Gilthunder's fight, Ban is shown to be chained to a prison with guards that are guarding him stating that he hasn't moved or eaten any anything since his imprisonment, which was five years ago.

Baste Dungeon Arc
When he hears of Meliodas still being alive, Ban, wanting to meet his captain, escapes from his prison cell, when he is immediately confronted by Jericho, who tries to kill him. Ban easily dodges all of Jericho's slash and even purposely lets her cut his hair. When Jericho is shocked that he dodged her attacks despite his severe wounds, Ban shows her that they have already healed, and points to his scar, saying that only that was a real wound. He then takes Jericho's armor and clothes in an attempt to find decent armor before leaving.

He disappointingly discovers that the armor was too small for him, and as he throws it, comes across a guard looking lustfully at a captive woman, and glances at her, showing some interest, and proceeds to smash the guard's head into the bars. He then enters the cell by bending the bars, and tells Cenette that she "is his", before stealing the dagger that she had hidden in her clothes. He comments on its good quality and even tests it out by cutting her chains. When she thanks him for releasing her, and requests for the dagger back, Ban, however, refuses and declares that it belongs to him, which greatly frightens her.

As Jude arrives and tells Ban that he is going to die, Ban only greets him in return and asks for the reason, with Jude answering that they have no more use for him since he has already fulfilled his role as a bait for Meliodas. Ban merely laughs at the answer, when Jude reminds him as to who caught and tortured him.

Then engaging Jude in combat, Ban is quickly stabbed in the chest by one of the Holy Knight's thorn-like weapons. He then explains the reason he let himself get captured to the latter, saying that he did so to feel pain that could make him feel alive, and adds that he is sick of it now. Removing the weapon out of his chest, he easily pierces and stabs Jude in the chest, whilst telling him of his excitement about the Holy Knights declaring war on the Seven Deadly Sins. Together with the frightened Cenette, Ban leaves the Baste Dungeon and encounters Meliodas, Diane, Hawk, and Elizabeth. He and Meliodas then greet, high-five each other and then start arm wrestling, which results in the entire dungeon being destroyed. Afterwards, he tells Meliodas that he is glad to see him again.

With the dungeon now destroyed, he, along with the others and the imprisoned villagers, heads to Dalmary Town, where he goes off on his own. Later that night, Ban is introduced to Elizabeth and notices that Hawk is a talking pig, which greatly excites him. During the party, he starts drinking and even rides on top of Hawk. Together with the rest, he looks up in the sky when it was filled with crossing shooting stars and later falls asleep on Hawk.

Capital of the Dead Arc
Three days, Ban, along with the rest, leaves Dalmary Town, Elizabeth's recovery having caused their delay. He asks Meliodas whether they are heading towards the capital, to which Meliodas replies that they are not. They are abruptly stopped by two Holy Knight apprentices, Andre and his partner. He offers to deal with them, only for Meliodas to stop him. Few moments later, they are suddenly attacked by a Black Hound, who quickly defeats the two apprentices. Ben releases an immense killing intent to frighten the creature, but it grows bigger since black hounds can change their size depending on how frightened they feel. However, before he could kill Oslo, Meliodas uses his broken blade and frightens the black hound. Meliodas then tells him that they are going to the Capital of the Dead to search for King, whom Ban express disdain for.

When they reach a town, Ban is assigned to cook food in Boar Hat. He complains, saying that he will sell Cenette's dagger he stole, and notices that is is not with him, to which he yells at Meliodas for giving it to Cenette. Trying to escape work, Ban heads into town and discovers a little girl, whom he mistakes for someone called "Elle". She suddenly collapses, leading him to rush by her side. The girl, Ellen's, brother then appears, thinking that Ban was harming her, stabs him with a gardening fork. Her brother soon discovers the truth, and asks Ban how he could "erase his sin", to which Ban comments that a real sin could never be erased. Ban is then suddenly stabbed in the chest with a spear by King.

Not knowing who is is, Ban questions his identity, but King tells him that it is not important, calling him "Ban, The Undead". The two begins battling each other, after Ban tells the kids to leave and find safety. The battle continues with both sides fighting tensely, and when Ban prepares to utilize a special ability, he is stopped by Meliodas. Meliodas and Diane notice King and immediately recognize him despite his changed appearance, with Ban being shown to be completely shocked and not being able comprehend how he is King. Later, after King escapes, Ban cooks a meal for everyone in Boar Hat and asks the children if they knew how to get to the Capital of the Dead, and the children tell them that King also desires to go to the Capital of the Dead. Ellen then suddenly recites a riddle, "a priceless memory shared with the deceased will open the path to the capital". Possibly understanding the riddle, Ban thanks the children for their help and the party heads to search for a location to enter the Capital of the Dead.

They group arrives at a mysterious area where they suddenly realize that they are flowers everywhere. Due to Ban remembering about a short piece of memory he shared with Elaine, they arrive at the Capital of the Dead, where Ban immediately notices the Saint of the Fountain of Youth, Elaine and chases after her. Seeking revenge against Ban, King also follows him. As he is chasing her, King provokes him, leading him to attack the latter. However, King easily dodges Ban's attacks, which makes Ban realize that he is the real King. They begin a conversation on what happened ten years ago, and King continues to gain the upper hand, trapping Ban by transforming his pillow into a huge bear plushie and angrily states that the Saint Guardian that Ban apparently killed was his sister. Acknowledging King's reason for his anger, Ban proceeds to tell him that he is immortal, and cannot be killed. However, King then attacks him with a form of his sacred treasure that petrifies the creatures it impales, Ban's skin around the area impaled immediately starting to petrify.

Soon, Ban turns completely into a statue, after commenting on King's appearance once more. As King begins leaves, he notices spheres of light approaching Ban, and as he recognizes the spheres to be Elaine, she kisses Ban in order to break King's curse. Both talk intimately and enjoy their reunion, when King confusingly yells at them, questioning why he could not see her and whether Elaine was still angry at him. Suddenly, a huge explosion occurs and grabs Ban's attention. Noticing that a Holy Knight has appeared he proceeds to leave to see what is happening, but before he left he told Elaine that he would definitely make her his someday. Ban then enters the battle and assists Meliodas and Diane by stopping the Geera's rapier using his special ability, Snatch.

The Holy Knight tells him take his "hand" off her rapier, with him replying that he wasn't touching anything. She then proceeds to attack him and heavily wounds him, but he regenerates within a few moments, leading her to comment upon his immortality. As the battle continues, Geera stabs him in the neck while commenting on how weak the Seven Deadly Sins were. However, King then arrives and attacks Geera by stabbing Ban through his back with his spear. He then asks King as to why he stabbed him, and King replies that he has come to help, to which Ban sarcastically thanks him. When the Grizzly's Sin retorts that his help was to Meliodas and Diane, Ban asks him if he is leaving him out, only for King to add that it was also for Elaine's feelings. Though Ban initially seems to be angered when King tells Geera that he wants to fight her one-on-one, he quickly sits down along with Meliodas, saying that if King loses, he would kill him.

Ban and the others watch as King defeats Geera with ease, and as she uses the element of surprise to attack King from behind. However, Meliodas stops her before she could do so and repels her attack. As soon as she is defeated, and Elaine explains that Geera had probably returned to the real world due to the impact, everyone's bodies start disintegrating, since the Capital of the Dead, had begun to reject them, due to them being alive and not belonging there. Ban says his final goodbyes to Elaine, before returning to the living world along with the rest. After returning to the living world, they find Geera's real body, with Ban suggesting to kill her right then. Later, Ban and King find Ellen and her brother, who reveal themselves as ghosts that guide people who shared priceless memories with the dead, such as them, to the Capital of the Dead. The both then disappear, but only after telling Ban that his cooking was delicious and thanking them, to which Ban also thanks them in return. When King is told that Elizabeth is a princess, and he transforms himself into his older and fatter form, Ban is shown to be extremely surprised, and asks Meliodas whether his eyeholes are empty when the Sin of Wrath merely comments that Ban's clothes changed. Later, Ban is shown to be drunk when King asks him, Diane and Meliodas as to what happened to their sacred treasures, with which, the three would have been easily able to defeat Geera, to which Ban drunkenly responds that his was stolen during his imprisonment, much to King's irritation. He then looks on as King explains to Hawk the significant differences in the Seven Deadly Sins' power wielding a sacred treasure can create.

Ongoing Arc
The next day, Ban is shown to still be drunk as the Boar Hat. He is later left behind along with Diane while Meliodas, Elizabeth, King and Hawk go to Biron because of his wanted poster's image's accuracy and her size as a giant.

Later, when Meliodas decides to head to Byzel, Ban complains about him being topless, since his shirt had been destroyed in the Capital of the Dead, to which Meliodas responds that he wear an apron as a substitute, which Ban does. As he, Meliodas, Hawk and King look for the "weapon that no one can use", which they suspect to be a sacred treasure in Byzel's annual flea market, a drunk elderly man directs them to the annual fighting tournament, whose reward is the weapon, which is revealed to be Diane's weapon, Gideon. Ban and Meliodas, wanting to fight each other, eagerly join the tournament; Ban enters the names of the three under false names and against King's will. As the preliminaries start, he agrees with Meliodas over not using his full power and killing the opponents, and is later seen defeating opponents with one strikes while commenting the fights to be boring. Ban then notices a fighter, who took pride in his speed and whose attire catches the Deadly Sin's eye, and surprises him by switching his apron with his shirt before the man could even notice. Soon, the preliminary ends, and he, along with Meliodas and King, advances, as he mocks King for winning in a cheap fashion by using his flight abilities. During the determination of the match-ups, he informs King that he had entered him under the name of "Old Fart", much to King's annoyance, and is revealed to have only changed his and Meliodas' names slightly, having changed them to "Meliodaz" and "Baan". Hauser almost discovers the two's identities from their physical traits, but in his naivety and stupidity, does not see through the obvious change of names. When, as Ban watches the the battle between Griamor and Matrona, the former starts using his ability, he comments that Griamor's ability had the caliber of a Holy Knight. After Matrona destroys the Holy Knight's ability with a single punch and then defeats him, which causes the hat she had been using to hide her facial appearance to fall off, Ban, along with King, bewilderedly looks at the fighter's facial identicalness to Diane.

He is later seen informing King that his fight would be starting soon, and then asks him, who has lost a great amount of blood due to nosebleeding, whether he is already dead. When asked by Meliodas as to the results of the fight between Hauser and Taizoo, Ban informs them that the latter was much weaker, compared to the former, despite Hauser having used only a tiny portion of his power, knowing that if he uses too much of it, he'd kill Taizoo. After the battle ends with the Holy Knight winning, he agrees with Meliodas' comment about the victor's ability is not be bad. After the the battle between Cain and King ends with the latter losing, Ban comments the fight to have been "lame", and then readies himself for his battle against Meliodas.

As their battle battle begins, Ban states that had the ring been bigger, their fight would have been better, Meliodas replying that "it" had been the same size at that time. Ban questions Meliodas as to his reply, and questions him whether he is that much excited for the battle, to which Meliodas states that the tournament's rules of a fighter being disqualified if he is thrown out the ring reminded him of "something" long ago. Telling Ban that he will remember soon, Meliodas punches him with great strength in his face, this punch reminding him of an episode that occurred when he was still imprisoned for having supposedly burned the Fairy King's Forest and killed its guardian, and led to him joining Meliodas. Back in the present, Ban seems to have been pushed out of the ring, but regains his balance and tries to slam Meliodas on the ground, face first; his opponent, however, stops this attack, and using his legs to grab Ban's face, slams the Sin of Greed in the ground. Immediately getting up, Ban kicks Meliodas above, and attacks him with a huge barrage of punches, with Meliodas blocking them, and then punching him back, the force of this one punch sending Ban to crash onto the ring, and even break the the Great Byzel Rock. Ban, much to the audience's surprise, is revealed to be unscathed from the attack, and continues to fight. As their battle continues, Meliodas punches Ban in the stomach, and sends him flying; however, the former then falls down himself, Ban having seemingly used his ability, "Snatch".

As soon as Meliodas falls down to his knees, Ban, his wounds having instantly healed by his immortality, immediately gets up and continues the battle. Meliodas, in response to the attack, flings a punch; Ban, however, somehow easily goes behind Meliodas, and punches him from behind, the single punch having a great amount of force, Meliodas' apparent weakening drawing encourages from Diane. As Ban displays his seemingly increased speed, and claims that his body is very light now, Meliodas instantly gets up and punches him, and after Ban is pushed back by the punch, attacks him again with a flying kick. This time, however, Ban easily dodges the attack and headbutts back, the attack seeming to have caused great damage. Meliodas seems to be continuously losing his stamina and the battle as he fights, leading Diane to wonder the reason for that. Answering her question, King points out that just as Meliodas become sluggish, Ban had become more agile, explaining that Ban's ability, Snatch, enabled him to "rob" not only physical objects, but also physical abilities such as speed and stamina; the reason why Meliodas was on his knees without receiving any damage was that Ban had "robbed" him of his physical abilities. As the battle continues in Ban's favor, he then punches his opponent in the face. Meliodas somersaults in the air, and lifting Ban with one hand, smashes him repeatedly on the ground. He, however, stops doing so for a moment, with Ban then punching him; the punch appears to cause Meliodas difficulty to defend against. Ban is then revealed to now have stolen Meliodas' raw strength during the latter's smashing of him, and be in a state of ecstasy at having a great amount of strength in him. As Meliodas looks at his shivering hands, Ban, wanting to test the strength he has stolen, punches him, only for his hands to be severely damaged, and him, to be sent flying, by Meliodas' counter. Before he goes outside the ring, however, Ban stops himself and, commenting that even this punch was defeated, wonders how bottomless his captain's powers are. He, again, instantly heals his wounds, and states that he has decided; upon Meliodas questioning him as to whether he has decided to give up or has prepared himself to be defeated, Ban replies that since the battle would not end by stealing of speed and strength in small doses, he will now rob all of Meliodas' abilities. As Meliodas attacks Ban with a barrage of punches, and the latter continues stealing the former's abilities, King states that Ban will be the victor if he manages to steal all of the Meliodas's abilities, but that the Sin of Wrath will win if he defeats the his opponent before then. In the end, as all of Meliodas' abilities are shown to have been stolen before he is able to defeat Ban, the Sin of Greed smirks while standing over his collapsed and weakened captain. After Ban completely steals all of Meliodas' abilities, he tests them out by swinging his hand, the mere resulting air pressure creating a crater on the ground, Ban's strength greatly shocking Hauser. Ban questions Meliodas if he will give up, or be utterly defeated; Diane, from the audience, yells at him that if he further harms Meliodas, she will not forgive him and will cut their ties. The Sin of Wrath refuses to give up, and states that he will win. Ban readies the final blow, and Love Helm replies to the villagers asking him to stop the battle, that if the contestant is not out of the ring, and refuses to give, the match can't be stopped. As Elizabeth pleads to Diane and King to stop the battle, Diane states her hypothesis that Meliodas is baiting Ban to delivering his most powerful blow, and will then reflect the blow with Full Counter back at Ban. King, however, explains that doing so would be impossible - Full Counter can only reflect "power" attacks, and is useless against indirect attacks such as Ban's Physical Hunt, or an ordinary punch. Despite Elizabeth's pleading, Ban punches Meliodas; the latter is seen coughing blood due to the attack. In the midst of the resulting dust and debris, Meliodas, who now mysteriously has a strange black colored mark on his forehead, with his eyes colored black, crushes Ban's hand, then proceeding to send him flying out of the ring with a single punch, thus defeating him.

Ban laments his defeat, and his having forgotten about what, he calls, his captain's "trump card". As Hawk unwittingly carries Ban due to him feeling his body to be very heavy after using "Physical Hunt", the talking pig states that he smells a storm brewing. Ban, still laying on Hawk, watches Diane and Hauser's battle. When Hauser uses his most powerful technique to form a huge tornado, states that Hawk will be sucked in by the twister if he lets his feel off the ground even for a moment.

Abilities/Equipment
Ban possesses great endurance, shown when he was able to escape his imprisonment and kick down the metal door, despite not having eaten or moved for 5 years. He is also very agile as he was able dodge all of Jericho's very quick slashes all the while letting her blade cut his overgrown hair.

Weapons

 * Three-section staff: In the past, Ban wielded a power-imbued three-section staff, also known as sansetsukon and sanjiegun in Japanese and Chinese respectively, a flail weapon consisting of three wooden or metal staffs connected by metal rings or rope. He was considerably formidable in using it, and could manipulate it to grab objects like the cup of the Fountain of Youth. The weapon itself was powerful enough to be able to rip out one of the hearts of a demon, and was capable of crushing flesh and breaking bones and nails.
 * Unnamed Sacred Treasure: As a member of the Seven Deadly Sins, Ban possessed a sacred treasure, which was stolen during his imprisonment. It is currently unknown what type of weapon it is, but it can be assumed to be compatible with his ability, Snatch.

Abilities

 * Snatch: An ability that allows Ban to rob others of their possessions and abilities. He is shown to be able to steal the strength and speed of his opponents, as well as grasp objects without physically touching them.
 * Immortality: Ban, initially considered to be a very fast healer, as he was able to heal almost instantly after removing steel stakes from his body, and after being otherwise fatally stabbed by Jude, was later revealed to be immortal due to having drunk the water of the Fountain of Youth.

Meliodas
Ban is a member of the Seven Deadly Sins along with Meliodas. They are both extremely friendly and competitive with each other enjoy challenging each other. Despite being very close companions, they are willing to fight each other at full strength, disregarding what potential damage they may deal against each other. Their fight encounter was a while after Ban's thirty third execution, which he once again successfully overcomes. As a subordinate, Ban shows a fair deal of respect for Meliodas and addresses him as "Cap'n".

Diane
Ban and Diane are both member of the Seven Deadly Sins. Ban seems to be on friendly terms with Diane, although she has mentioned several times that she does not care for any other men but Meliodas.

King
Ban and King are both members of the Seven Deadly Sins. When the Seven Deadly Sins were an active group of knights, Ban and King had a relationship that could be compared to an "unlikely dynamic duo".

Cenette
When he first saw her, Ban took an interest in Cenette, entering her cell, and even telling her that she "is his". However, he seemed to actually have been interested in her hidden dagger.

Elaine
Ban has feelings for Elaine, having befriended her during the seven days he stayed in the Fairy King's Forest, with her having similar feelings. He was the one who cured Elaine's loneliness for the 700 hundred years which her brother left her alone for. Sadly, Elaine now resides the Capital of the Dead, after being killed by the Unnamed Demon. However, Ban swears that he will make her his, in the future.

Hawk
At first, Ban was astonished by the fact that Hawk was able to talk, and originally thought that he was merely Diane's lunch. However, they soon got along with each other fairly well, regarding each other as trustworthy companions. They are willing to support each other, as shown when Hawk carries Ban whenever he is drunk or exhausted.
