They were formed by seven brutal criminals who were all convicted for serious crimes and carved symbols of beasts onto their bodies.
The Seven Deadly Sins were framed for the murder of the Great Holy Knight of Liones, lable as traitors and villains in the land of Britannia as a result.

==Members==
*Meliodas (Dragon's Sin of Wrath; Captain and Leader)
*Diane (Serpent's Sin of Envy)
*Ban (Fox's Sin of Greed)
*King (Grizzly's Sin of Sloth)
*Gowther (Goat's Sin of Lust)
*Merlin (Boar's Sin of Gluttony)
*Escanor (Lion's Sin of Pride)
==Personality and Traits==
The Sins were actually criminals that joined the order for their own reasons, and a number of them are good people at heart. A few of them however aren't exactly the nicest of people (Merlin has a double crossing agenda, Day Escanor looks down on everyone, Gowther is callous to other people's emotions and Ban steals whatever he wants). However, they can be very dangerous when push comes to shove.
==Trivia==
*Quite a few of the Sins were blamed for things beyond their control.
**King was called slothful for letting Helbrem slaughter humans for so long. He had amnesia for over a century, so he couldn't do anything.
**Diane was accused of killing Matrona out of Envy. Not only was this a lie mercenaries used to cover up the attempt they made, but Matrona lived (minus an amputated foot to remove poison)
**Ban was accused of burning down the Fairy King's Forest and stealing the immortality of the Fountain of Youth for himself. A Red Demon burned the forest, while Elaine gave him the immortality to save his life out of love.
**Escanor is a meek and kind fellow, but he has the misfortune of being born with Sunshine, a power of the Goddess clan; this caused him to be just as smug. Gowther's creator is to blame for thias, due to Male being brainwashed into Estarossa to take Meliodas place in the Ten Commandments.
**Gowther was accused of killing and raping princess Nadja of Lioness, Bartra's sister. In truth, they two were in love and she passed away after they had sex. Gowther tries to revive her by giving Nadja his heart, but the guards showed up then and mistook the entire situation.
*So far, none of the Seven Deadly Sins are of the same race: Meliodas is a demon, Ban is formerly human, Diane is a giant, King is a fairy, Escanor is human, Merlin is a wiseman and Gowther is a doll.
*According to Dreyfus, only a member of the Sins could go toe-to-toe with the previous Great Holy Knight, Zaratras.
*The manga depiction of the animals and colors associated with each of the sins differs from the conventional representation; Bear's Sin of Wrath, Dog's Sin of Envy, Frog's Sin of Greed, Goat's Sin of Sloth, Cow's Sin of Lust, Pig's Sin of Gluttony, and Horse's Sin of Pride.
*Each Sin was a diamond ranked holy knight before they were framed. Whether or not their ranks were restored after their names were cleared has not been mentioned.
