Biography

Gilthunder (Japanese: ギルサンダー, Hepburn: Girusandā)

As a child, he was friends with Howzer, Veronica Liones, and Elizabeth Liones, who used to all play together. At some point in time, Meliodas taught Gilthunder the fundamentals of swordsmanship and "The Way of the Knight". Gilthunder used to look up to the Seven Deadly Sins and wanted to be just like them. During one point in his training, Gilthunder became the personal knight of Margaret Liones where he developed a crush on her during their childhood. During one of his training with Meliodas, Gilthunder grew upset as he believed he would never become as strong as the Deadly Sins or his father. But Meliodas told him to ditch his negative attitude. And Margaret came and told him 'The Way of the Knight' creed. Margaret told Gilthunder that he should be himself, and not like the Deadly Sins or his father, and believes that Gilthunder will be the kindest and strongest Holy Knight some day. This puts Gilthunder in a better mood. However, the next day, Gilthunder comes running towards Meliodas and tells him to run away with the others. Meliodas doesn't understand this and asks Gilthunder to explain. Gilthunder answers that something terrible is coming and if he told anybody, bad things were going to happen, and Gilthunder had no idea what to do.

A day before Meliodas, Hawk and Elizabeth arrived at Bernia, Gilthunder had gone then to collect the taxes, and while doing so, had drank the very popular Bernia Ale. Even though it was the best ale Bernia had to offer, the Holy Knight insulted it and called it 'only slightly better than a horse's urine'. Mead, angered by this comment, dropped a bug in his next drink, which angered Gilthunder, who, in his anger, sealed the underground water source of the river in Bernia with a sword imbued with his lightning magic. That prevented the villagers from making the ale, which is the sole economic income for the whole village. He was residing in and governing Fort Solgales when he was informed of a child having pulled his sword, and he, deciding to confirm whether this was an accident or not himself, borrowed a spear from one of the guards and threw it directly at Bernia. Meliodas, however, stopped the spear and threw it back, which resulted in the fort's destruction, and Gilthunder's realization that the Seven Deadly Sins were still alive.

Upon arriving in the Forest of White Dreams by using a gigantic thundercloud and a lightning bolt, Gilthunder immediately immobilizes everyone with his lightning magic. As Meliodas and Diane realize that he is a Holy Knight, Elizabeth recognizes him as Gilthunder, a Holy Knight very close to her father, and a brother figure to her, and initially does not believe that he was the Holy Knight who had dammed Bernia's water source, and is greatly surprised when she realizes that he was the one. Gilthunder, informing her that while her safety was the kingdom's priority, she was only a "grain of sand in the path to the Holy Knights' rule", and after releasing her, orders her to leave. She, however, refuses to do so or let him hard Meliodas and Diane, and when Gilthunder kicks a weakened Hawk out of the way, runs towards him. Gilthunder, points his sword at Meliodas' neck, stating that he wants to avenge his father, the deceased Great Holy Knight, Zaratras, and also wants to prove that he has surpassed him, leading Meliodas to recognize him as "Little Gil", Zaratras' son who would often follow the Seven Deadly Sins. Gilthunder then also declares that he is now stronger than any of the Deadly Sins, and offers to unbind the two to fight, but before he could do so, however, they easily break his spell themselves, with Meliodas instructing Diane not to interfere in their battle. As Gilthunder then attacks first using a powerful lighting bolt, the Sin of Wrath easily repels the spell back at Gilthunder, but the latter dodges the attack and moves behind the former, slashing him from behind and causing him to collapse.

Overview

Personality and attributes

In appearance, Gilthunder was a relatively tall and handsome man with slightly curled neck-length pink-colored hair that has bangs hanging on the left side and blue eyes. Meliodas often called him Little Gil with this being from a time when Gilthunder was a young boy training under the Holy Knight.

As an adult, Gilthunder was a seemingly cold and cruel individual. This was shown when he devastated a town by stopping its source of income simply because he was angry with them. When he learned that a child pulled out his sword, he threw a spear at the town just to check whether it was an accident or not, even though the town could have been destroyed. However, despite that, he was an honorable person as he gave Meliodas a final request when he thought that he was dying. He had a desire to kill the Seven Deadly Sins for supposedly killing his father. He attempted to hunt and kill the Seven Deadly Sins in an attempt to avenge and surpass his father.
