Personality[]
Overall, Dubs displays a cool, calm and collected personality. Dubs is shown as someone dry and serious, not showing interest in anything that does not particularly attract his attention. During the time of the Holy War, Dubs was implied to be against it as he forged the Coffin of Eternal Darkness.
Dubs takes immense pride in his weapons as a craftsman and is shocked when Zeldris broke them. He is also quite the perfectionist, throwing away a dish he cooked for going ten seconds too late in the boiling time.
While being under the brainwashing of the Supreme Deity, Dubs becomes fanatic in both restarting the Holy War and in punishing the Seven Deadly Sins and their allies for their role in 'ruining' it.
History[]
3,000 years ago[]
Not much is known about Dubs except that it was he who, at Merlin's request, forged the Coffin of Eternal Darkness, a powerful relic used to seal away the Demon Clan as part of her plan to bring Chaos back into the world.[2]
The Seven Deadly Sins: Cursed by Light[]
At some point in time, Dubs received the Breath of Bless from the Supreme Deity along with Dahlia. They are first seen attacking the Demon Realm in the Demon King and his sons' absence, and massacred large numbers of Demons, while letting one escape. They then take over the Demon Realm and dispersed the dark miasma and replaced it with an ominous light.
Dubs and Dahlia are confronted by Meliodas and Zeldris, with Meliodas being Dubs' opponent. With Dubs being the creator of Meliodas' Lostvayne, he easily turned his own creation against its wielder, and captured both Meliodas and Elizabeth in his staff. With Dahlia also defeating Zeldris, they returned to their base in the Demon world.
Dubs and Dahlia were lured outside by the Demons Zeldris had rallied, and soon after they are joined by Zeldris and the freed Meliodas. The demon brothers began their rematch with the Demon Realm takers, but Meliodas and Zeldris quickly switched opponent and Dubs is quickly struck by Zeldris instead. Dubs then release his Flying Saucer and Reaper's Scythe against Zeldris, but they were easily overpowered by Zeldris. He was then knocked out with Ominous Nebula as the effect of Breath of Bless fades away from him.
Dubs and Dahlia are present at Meliodas and Elizabeth's wedding.
Four Knights of the Apocalypse[]
16 years after the Holy War, Dubs is revealed to have been hired as a cook by Gawain's father, Kay Pendragon, moving to his residence in Camelot. As a result of this, his location becomes a mystery to his acquaintances.
Annwfyn Gladiator Festival arc[]
Gawain brings the Percival Platoon to Dubs, who is irritated that they are interrupting his cooking and ruining the corn he was boiling. Gawain introduces him as "Dubby", her family cook and amateur blacksmith, although Dubs clarifies that their occupations are the other way around and that he forged the Sacred Treasures of the Seven Deadly Sins. Everyone then realizes that they are in front of the legendary craftman of the Giant Clan and Gawain is surprised that she never knew what his true identity was. She then asks him to forge some weapons for all of them, but Dubs refuses, angering Gawain. Percival then remembers that Lancelot had been seeking Dubs out to make him a weapon that would withstand the force of his magic. This draws Dubs' attention and he decides to make weapons for all of them so that they will introduce him to Lancelot later.
Dubs then examines Nasiens' body to gain the information he needs to make them a suitable weapon. Anghalhad is enraged that he is groping her in the same way, but Dubs claims that he has no interest in living beings, which he confirms to be true by not activating her Interrogator power, though Anghalhad is annoyed by this fact as well. Donny asks to be next, but Dubs orders him to take a bath first.
Although he intended to send the weapons to Gawain through a magic chest once they were finished, Dubs decides to enter the Gladiator Festival in disguise to give them a test in combat. After using special tools to hide his size and face, Dubs passes the battle royale as "Mystery Package", and is paired against Donny in the second match of the tournament. During the fight, Dubs surprises Donny with the Mirage Stinger's thrusts and then blocks all the rocks that he throws at him with the Guard Oldman shield that he then uses to throw Donny out of the arena. Although Donny clings to the edge, Dubs tries to help him but uses the power of the Bipolar Gloves to freeze him from head to toe, ending up as the winner of the fight.
After bringing Donny back and safely unfreezing him, Dubs reveals his identity to the Percival Platoon, after Percival recognizes him by the color of his soul. Dubs explains that the people of Camelot are after him as well, which is why he disguised himself with his magic tool, and that after completing Gawain's order he wanted to give the weapons a combat test before giving them out to everyone, angering Donny for using him as a test subject. Dubs gives the Mirage Stinger to Anghalhad, the Bipolar Gloves to Nasiens, and the Guard Oldman to Donny, though he tells Percival that his weapon is still a work in progress.
During the second round of the Gladiator Tournament, he handed over his newest creation, the Force Circular, to Percival, where he had him test its performance in combat against Dubs, who attacked him with one of his creations, a dragon-shaped hammer, where Percival could see up close the abilities of his new weapon. After Percival destroyed the hammer, Dubs would reveal his true form and attack him up close, pressuring Percival with his giant strength until he overcame him with his magic, knocking him down and winning the fight.
When "Mystery Package" identity is exposed, Beltreipe send various knights to take him in custody. Percival tries to protect him, but Dubs decides to surrender, telling him that the mission is what matters most at the moment. Gawain offers him help through signs, but he rejects that as well. Delighting in the performance of the Force Circular as the knights take him prisoner, Caperdonich intervenes in the transfer and uses Rewrite Light to make the knights abandon Dubs, believing they are transporting him. Revealing his identity to Dubs, Gowther explains that he came to Annwfyn with some companions to unravel the truth about the Four Evils, having discovered within Beltreipe's mind that Chaos has eaten away at him like cancer, blocking his memories of his loved ones. He also now knows that Beltreipe's true identity is Daymond, the prince of the fallen kingdom of Castellio and Escanor's older brother.
Gowther rushes back to Beltreipe before he gets suspicious, to which Dubs promises to find out what he can on his own and thanks him for his talks which he always enjoys.
Dubs then returns to the ship with Kay and Gawain's "grandparents". There, Dubs talks with them about Gawain's situation and how she could react to known her true origins.
