Meliodas

Meliodas is currently the 19th Overcommander of the Amphibian Army known by most outside the Army Demon‘s Sin of Wrath. He is a high-demon, an ancient race of demons born during the Great Twilight War before the birth of time. After the war they were imprisoned within the planet that would later become Earth. Many eons later Meliodas the first high-demon to break free from this prison when joining the Amphibian Army.

### **Appearance**

Meliodas is a short adolescent-looking man with messy golden-blond hair and a pair of purple-black eyes. He also lacks facial hair, further accentuating his adolescent appearance. Regardless of his stature and youthful looks, he is very muscular, possessing an array of well-developed abdominal muscles. He is often shown wearing an ordinary, clean white button-front shirt and a black hooded jacket with light blue jeans. The scabbard of his short sword is held on his back by an olive green leather belt. He wears a pair of black boots without any socks.

Before entering the human world, he wore a white, sleeveless coat adorned by a batch of dark golden buttons from all around the high collar, a red wine color on the inside, and a coat's tail. He also had black pants with matching colored boots, this is the attire of all male high-demons, who are not Satan or his brothers. During that time Meliodas did not his short sword yet.

### **Personality**

Meliodas' most dominant character traits are his frankness and his utter fearlessness, shown when he remains composed seeing an entire legion of clones approaching him. He is also shown to be very bawdy and loves to frequently tell very bad jokes. Occasionally, he tries to sexually harass certain female members of the Army, not being ashamed of doing so in public, or after being severely scolded. He always tries to hide any weakness and stay strong in front of his comrades, which has led to him ending up unconscious, due to heavy blood loss, on multiple occasions.

Despite pocessing the title of Demon‘s Sin of Wrath, he mostly tries to maintain the facade of a very calm person around most male Army members. However, if his comrades are harmed in any way, he is shown to be capable of extreme rage and violence. This is possibly due to Meliodas being guilt-ridden over the death of a girl named Nosvayne, as he claims that his greatest sin was being unable to save her. Meliodas‘ best friend in the Army, Ban, has pointed out that the highdemon tries to seem soft and naive, due to not wanting to seem threatening. When in the heat of battle Meliodas likes killing his enemies and is rarely merciful.

During his time in Hell, Meliodas displays a harsh, arrogant demeanor towards any lesser demon, coldly telling all of those who got in his way to get lost and calling them a hindrance and even killing them if they didn’t leave his sight immediately. He was not intimidated by anybody regardless of their strength, which has led to him charging mindlessly into battle. Meliodas never had doubts about Satan‘s war against Heaven, until he ended up in the human world, where he learned what compassion is and where he started questioning the war between Heaven and Hell, which led to him leaving Hell.

After meeting the first highdemon in a very long time and in the human world, in the form of Demiurge, he confesses to Ban that he has flashbacks to his time in Hell and that he‘s terrified of losing his comrades and family in the Army.

He’s an awful cook.

### **Trivia**

* Meliodas' wanted posters issued by the Bounty Hunter Association and the Federation of United Systems does not accurately depict him but, coincidentally, it does resemble his brother, Estarossa. Which led to Estarossa being hunted by several misinformed bounty hunters.
