Ban is a member of the Seven Deadly Sins and is The Sin of Greed with the symbol of the Fox. After the group's disbandment, Ban was initially imprisoned in the Baste Dungeon, but escaped when he discovered that Meliodas is still alive. His Sacred Treasure is the staff, Courechouse. On top of being immortal, he is known for his ability, Snatch.
Spoiler:
It is later discovered that Ban gained immortality from the fountain of youth in The Fairy King's Forest which lead to his self-appointed nickname ''Undead Ban'.' This also gave birth to him being the Fox of greed. He had originally come to the Fairy King's Forest to steal the Fountain of Youth but stopped when the Guardian Spirit, Elaine, told him it would destroy the forest. He bonded with Elaine and helped defend the fountain from a demon that attacked the forest. Elaine then gave the drink to Ban who was injured and near death, sacrificing herself in the process.
Diane is a member of the Seven Deadly Sins and is The Sin of Envy with the symbol of the Serpent. She is also a member of the Giant's Clan.
She is a fair maiden with pink eyes and medium length brown hair which is tied up into Mega Twintails. Despite being a beautiful looking maiden, she is in fact a giant from the giant clan, and is several times larger than ordinary humans. She wears a one piece orange suit, boots that extend almost up to the knees, and a metal armband which is embedded with shiny metal pebbles. Her current outfits and attire is believed to be the most fashionable ones. She wears an orange colored short sleeved bodysuit and boots.
As the Serpent's Sin of Envy, her main traits are jealousy and envy. She shows strong affection for Meliodas, so when she met him together with Elizabeth, she grew very jealous and threw him away whilst calling him a cheater. In contrary with Elizabeth who wants to be strong and powerful, she wants to be small.
Gowther (ゴウセル)
Birthday: June 2
He is a member of the Seven Deadly Sins and the Sin of Lust with the symbol of the Goat. He is first mentioned to be engaged in battle with the order of Holy Knights, Dawn Roar.
Spoiler:
It is revealed in chapter 114 that Gowther was actually created by a great magician and his original form is a doll.
In chapter 153 the demon Fraudrin claimed that he was once one of the original Ten Commandments of the Demon Clan with the attribute "selflessness."
His Sacred Treasure is the twin-bow, Herritt which he uses to fully utilise his power, Invasion. In the current arc, Fraudrin claims that he was formerly part of the Ten Commandments, Gowther The Selflessness, but that the curse of his own commandment has caused him to lose his memories and feelings.
Hawk (ホーク)
Hawk is a talking pig and Meliodas's companion. He is introduced as the cleaner of the Boar Hat bar who helps clean the disgusting food scraps.
He is a relatively large pink pig who wears an eye ring with the word star boar on his left ear. His body is well rounded and his legs are fairly short. He has a unique patch of black spots shaped like a four leafed clover. His body and appearance is fairly similar to a typical Gloucestershire Old Spots Pig.
He is seen to possess great strength and speed for his small stature as shown when he was able to knock down a locked metal dungeon door and take out dungeon guards single handed and when escaping and taking Elizabeth to safety. He is also very courageous and always tries to protect his friends.
King (キング)
King is a member of the Seven Deadly Sins and is the Sin of Sloth with the symbol of the Grizzly. He is the master of Black Hound Oslo (オスロ).
King's wanted poster depicts him as big man with short hair, side burns, a bulbish nose, and a sneer. His true appearance is that of a young boy and he is often mistaken for a child.
His Seven Deadly Sins Grizzly symbol is located just above his left ankle and on the outer side of his lower leg. He possesses the Sacred Treasure known as Spirit Spear Chastiefol which he uses in conjunction with his power Disaster.
In his first appearance, he is shown to be an ally to the Holy Knights and is willing to wipe out anyone who gets in his way along with the person he is after. Since he is the Sin of Sloth, he is shown as somewhat lazy, preferring to levitate in most occasions. In the past, he was shown to be a compassionate character who returned stuffed animals stolen by Ban to children. Furthermore, it appears that he is an emotional person who cries easily.King has trouble admitting his affection for Diane. Although he enjoys being with Meliodas and Diane, he could not bring himself to express it. He cares deeply for his sister, Elaine, as shown when he was willing to take revenge for her death by "killing" Ban.
Elizabeth Liones (エリザベス・リオネス)
Birthday: June 12
Elizabeth is the third princess of the Kingdom of Liones, an adopted daughter of King Liones, and is originally from the kingdom of Danafor. She is the main female protagonist and begins working as a waitress at Boar Hat bar when she joins Meliodas in his journey to find the Seven Deadly Sins. Zaneli later mentions that Elizabeth is in fact the reincarnation of Meliodas's past lover, Liz, who died 16 years prior to the start of the story.
Elizabeth is very polite, grateful and caring, and though initially appearing to be fragile and frail, she is in fact very brave and courageous. Her selfless attitude and bravery are demonstrated when she willingly tries to rescue a child from Friesia's attack which earn her some form of respect from the Deadly Sins due to her courage. On the other hand, she is also a fairly gullible person, always being tricked by Meliodas's antics. Elizabeth has a relatively low self-esteem, always saying that she is just a burden to the Deadly Sins since she is unable to fight back.
Despite being a princess, Elizabeth shows a lot of respect and trust towards the Seven Deadly Sins even though there are several bad rumors about them - she even addresses them with the titles, lord and lady. Elizabeth is very strong-willed, as shown when Veronica died, she remains determined to continue stopping the Holy Knights - she only cries when she is alone, not letting others see tears.(Nanatsu no taizai wikia modified by me)
Meliodas (メリオダス)
Meliodas is the captain of the Seven Deadly Sins and is the Dragon's Sin of Wrath. He is the owner of the renowned Boar Hat, and the main protagonist of the series. His Sacred Treasure is the "Demon Sword" Lostvayne and his main ability is called Full Counter.
Despite having the appearance of a child, Meliodas is actually much older, being over three thousand years old. He is exceptionally short compared to other characters, with messy blond hair and a pair of emerald green eyes. He also lacks facial hair, further accentuating his adolescent appearance. Regardless of his stature and youthful looks, he is relatively muscular, possessing an array of well-developed abdominal muscles. He is often shown wearing an ordinary, clean white button-front shirt and a black sleeveless vest on top with a loosely worn tie. His Broken Sword's scabbard is held on by a green leather belt with gold-colored buckles. Without any socks, he wears a pair of black boots. His most distinctive trait is his Dragon symbol carved at the top of his left arm, just below his shoulders.
Meliodas once came from the kingdom of Danafor where he was the leader of the Holy Knights. When a slave girl named Liz who came from the enemy kingdom came to Danafor for an ambush mission, Liz was then captured by the knights and was sentenced to death, but Meliodas set her free and personally offered to fight on her behalf if anyone objected. Meliodas later took Liz to his house where they lived together, often groping her chest to which she reacted violently. Later, Liz grew closer to Meliodas and became his lover, Meliodas calling her his "most important person to him." He has stated that he tried to protect Danafor and Liz, but failed, and that this is his sin, as a member of the Deadly Sins.
Merlin (マーリン)
She is a member of the Seven Deadly Sins. She has the mark of the boars sin of gluttony. She was regarded as the greatest mage in Britannia and is the master of Vivian as well as a teacher of King Arthur of Camelot. She came to the aid of the sins in their battle against Hendirkson but had to leave to tend to the King. She has not officially rejoined the sins but said she would as soon as she was finished with her other business.
Prior to the Seven Deadly Sins' supposed betrayal, Merlin demonstrates a playful nature, telling her teammates that their meeting with the Great Holy Knight might turn out to be a scolding from their superior for destroying the Great Druid Altar. Merlin is also apologetic, in asking for her captain's forgiveness for knocking him out. She enjoys mocking and challenging others, teasing her apprentice Vivian for losing herself in rage again. Merlin tends to use anyone as a magical guinea pig to test out new techniques she learned so long as the results are good (as Meliodas noted).
