Biography
Escanor (Japanese: エスカノール, Hepburn: Esukanōru) was a male human born 40 years ago in the lands of Britannia where he was the son of the King and Queen of the Kingdom of Castellio. The young prince was the second born child of the royal family where he had an older brother named Daymond. Though loved by his parents, his older brother used to pick on him for being the one favoured by their parents. This was until one day when Escanor's powers awakened where he came to accidentally break his brother's arm. The incident horrified everyone around him and his parents came to disown him as they believed their child was a monster. Eventually, the kingdom's soldiers were mobilised to kill him but Escanor was saved by a kind woman named Rosa who hid him in a barrel that was set adrift at sea. Thus, he survived the attempt on his life but came to be ostracised by the people who saw his strange appearance as being that o a monster even if he helped them.
Overview
Personality and attributes
Among the Seven Deadly Sins, he came to be known as the Lion's Sin of Pride and in Britannia he was known as the Strongest Holy Knight. He had his lion tattoo located on his back that marked himself as the Lion Sin.
Upon transforming, a stark change occurred in Escanor's personality where he came to be an incredibly prideful person.
Powers and abilities
His magical power was an ability known as Sunshine (太陽サンシャイン Sanshain) that was a power unlike any other. This strength lay with the sun itself where he was the strongest when it was up in the sky and weakest when it was night time. From sunrise, his power began to increase and grew larger over time with this seeing a stark change in his personality. It was shown that his power led to a rise in temperature around him to the point that people remarked on how it had grown hot all of a sudden. In one instance, his soul was consumed by the demon Melascula only for her to experience terrible burns across her body that was heavily damaged as a result. This allowed Escanor's soul to return to his body unscathed.
Among the techniques known to him included:
- Cruel Sun (無慈悲な太陽クルーエル・サン Kurūeru San; literally meaning "Merciless Sun") :
- Pride Flare (炸裂する傲慢プライド・フレア Puraido Furea; literally meaning "Exploding Arrogance") : Escanor causes his Cruel Sun to flare with heat so intense it is capable of vaporizing a sizable lake in an instant.[7]
- Crazy Prominence (爆発する矜持クレイジー・プロミネンス Kureijī Purominensu; literally meaning "Exploding Dignity") : Escanor produces a large amount of miniature suns from his body that explode on impact.[8]
- Final Prominence (終末の業火ファイナルプロミネンス Fainaru Purominensu; literally meaning "Hellfire of the End") :
He was a wielder of a Sacred Treasure with his being Divine Axe Rhitta (神斧 リッタ Jinpu Ritta) that was a giant one-handed axe. It was named after a maiden that was adored by the sun and was so heavy that not even demons could lift it.
