== Charactah Account ==
Ban is a member of the Seven Deadly Sins, the Fox's Sin of Greed.
In the past, Ban was a bandit who went by the moniker "Bandit Ban". He sought out the Fountain of Youth in the Fairy King's forest in order to gain immortality in the hopes of living long enough for something good to actually happen to him. Instead, he met with the fountain's guardian Elaine and over the course of seven days, they both developed deep feelings for one another. However in the midst of it all, a Demon attacked the forest and deeply wounded both Ban and Elaine. In a sheer act of sacrifice, Ban was saved by Elaine when she gave him a drink from the fountain instead of saving herself. Having become immortal, Ban took care of the Demon but the damage to the forest was done and Elaine lost her life. For what happened, Ban was accused of the crime for which he didn't defend himself against. 
Later, Ban was personally recruited by Meliodas to join the Seven Deadly Sins. As Meliodas was the second person after Elaine to truly acknowledge him, Ban joined the order. After the Sins were framed, he let himself be captured and imprisoned in Baste Dungeon, only to escape years later when he discovered that Meliodas was still alive. 
While Ban didn't defend himself for the crime that he was accused of, he however at some point in time actually revived the forest by planting the seed entrusted to him by Elaine before her death. For this, he was deemed the new Fairy King by the Sacred Tree and accepted as such by most of its inhabitants much to his reluctance.
