**Gilthunder**「ギルサンダー」 is a Diamond-ranked Holy Knightand the son of the former Great Holy Knight, Zaratras.

## Appearance

He is seen wearing dark-colored full body knight armor without a helmet and wields a single hand sword. The upper body armor is carved with several crosses and the symbol of the Holy Knights. He also has a leather waist belt fastened on top of his armor.

## Personality

Gilthunder was a seemingly cold and cruel individual around the start of the story, devastating a town by stopping its source of income just because he was angry at them.[2] When he learned that a child pulled out his sword[3], he threw a spear at the town just to check whether it wasn't an accident, even though the town could have been destroyed.[4] However, despite that, he is honorable as he gave Meliodas a final request when he thought that he was dying. He has a desire to kill the Seven Deadly Sins for apparently killing his father and to prove by killing them all that he has surpassed his father.

In his childhood, Gilthunder was sweet and friendly especially towards the Seven Deadly Sins, specifically Meliodas, who trained him in the art of swordsmanship before turning dark after the Seven Deadly Sins were accused of killing his father. However, it was revealed that Gilthunder was acting cruel and ruthless as Margaret, the woman he loves, was being held hostage by a monster close to her, and that he must join the Holy Knight plan, no matter what. After being freed by Meliodas, Gilthunder returned to his old and kinder self.

## Abilities/Equipment

Gilthunder, like all Holy Knights, has magic that transcends human knowledge imbued within his body, and is among the strongest in Britannia, being able to match entire armies. He is shown to be incredibly strong and agile, easily matching Meliodas in skill[16] and remaining unharmed after being flung from a great height and crashing into a building, destroying it in the process.[12]He is noted to be a Great Holy Knight class according to King. After the training in the sacred land of the druids, his power level increases from 1,970 to 2,330.
