He is the owner of the **"Gluttony"** skill, one of the Mortal Sin skill. He is also a Holy Knight and the head of the Barbatos Family.

## Appearance

Fate is a young man with a slim figure, black hair and brown eyes. However, when the gluttony skill is not fed for a period of time, the color of his eyes becomes red.

When he is out at night, he is mostly seen wearing an entire set of black clothing with a skull mask. Later, his most recent set of cloths there are also tinges of red sewn in throughout the clothing.

## Personality

Fate can be kind and is capable of showing mercy for those who have changed such as Seto and Mimir as an example, but he's actually quite the ruthless character that will kill anyone who dares to harm any of his loved ones, such an example can be seen when he goes as far and fights against Envy's puppet ( Norden Alistair ) and Tenryu's all just to protect Roxy and barely making it alive.

## Background

After his father passed away, the villagers kicked him out from the village because they deemed him useless for his Gluttony skill.

After he left the village and arrived at the royal capital, Seifort, he was not able to get any well-paying jobs. After searching for a while, he gets picked up by Vlerick Family and was given the work of a gatekeeper.

## Plot

One day, while he was walking home from his shift, he managed to spot a group of bandits climbing over the town walls. Not being able to handle the situation on his own he decides to ask for help from a holy knight named Roxy Hart.

After he heard the sound of battle stop, he saw one of the bandits escaping towards him with a missing arm. Since he had a spear on his hand, he decided to stop the bandit from escaping, but only to kill him and thus awakening his *Gluttony* skill.
