- 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 werecrowned as the new king and queen of Liones, he refused to serve his kingdom and defected back to his home Edinburgh.

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

As the king of Edinburgh, Deathpierce hair got white, and have grown a beard and long mustaches. He wears a set of orange armor.

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 attemps to hurt Tristan solely to make Meliodas suffer.
