==Summary==
Dale was a Holy Knight and father to Guila and Zeal. He was affectionately known as "Doting Dale" because of his caring attitude toward his children, but one day he disappeared on a mission, leading many to assume he had turned traitor. In reality, Hendrickson had offered him Red Demon blood in order to gain power, which Dale wanted in order to better protect his children. The blood gave him drastically increased power but stole his humanity, transforming him into a demonic abomination. He was found by Gowther and sealed into armor enchanted to keep him from going out of control, and was ultimately killed by Meliodas.
