Escanor

Escanor, also known as Lion's Sin of Pride, Master of the Sun, The Strongest Holy Knight and The One Ultimate, is one of the main characters from The Seven Deadly Sins series.
== Charactah Account ==
Escanor is the Lion's Sin of Pride and the last member of the Seven Deadly Sins. He has dual personalities - his weak, skittish night-self, as well as his muscular, arrogant day-self. He is presented as the bar's meek, mustachioed owner. 
Escanor has been described as the strongest member of the Seven Deadly Sins, as upon his fight with Galand and Melascula, two of the Ten Commandments, he easily defeated them when the sun began rising with little effort whereas Ban and Jericho could not do anything against either.
Escanor's might is considered monstrous, both by enemy and ally alike. Estarossa, one of the strongest members of the Ten Commandments, refuses to believe someone so powerful is a human.
In battle, Escanor primarily relies on the rising of the sun to use his magic, Sunshine for battle. As when the sun rises, his power and size grow greatly. Just nearing noon causes his body to emit an enormous amount of heat to the point of being able to melt armor like nothing. Just using a single attack caused a lake to be evaporated in a flash from the intense heat Escanor gave off.

== Trivia ==
* In Arthurian legend, there are two characters with the name 'Escanor' including: "Escanor le Grand", who was raised by a giant and a witch and is said to be a very large man, and "Escanor le Beau", the nephew of the first Escanor, who was a handsome young man and eventually retired to a life of hermitage. Escanor is based on the first, who was said to grow stronger until noon when his strength began to diminish and was eventually defeated by Sir Gawain, whom he shared both this power and birth date with.
