History
The Seven Deadly Sins (Japanese: 七つの大罪, Hepburn: Nanatsu no Taizai) were a band of warriors and adventurers that operated in the land of Britannia. Unknown to most of its members, the Seven Deadly Sins were formed for the express purpose of defeating the Demon Clan's Ten Commandments. The king of Liones had a premonition through his power vision that they would become the kingdom's protectors. Hearing this, both Meliodas and Merlin took it upon themselves to find the other five members in order to crush the Ten Commandments should they ever be revived. In time, they came to recruit Ban, King, Diane, Gowther and Escanor into their ranks. The band of elite knights came to serve the Kingdom of Liones though were independent from the throne.
One of the Seven Deadly Sins' feats includes defeating the troll queen, with them having also broken the Great Druid Altar.
They were declared as traitors and villains after being framed for assassinating Zaratras, the Great Holy Knight, after heeding an order to meet up with him at the castle. They found him murdered through no fault of their own and were quickly surrounded by the kingdom's Holy Knights. Meliodas ordered the group to disperse to avoid capture, and everyone was able to escape separately. It was initially suspected that one of the members was a traitor who helped in the nefarious plot, as Meliodas was knocked unconscious shortly after issuing his order. It is later revealed that Merlin was the perpetrator, and was due to Meliodas losing himself to his anger when young Elizabeth got hurt trying to help him escape.
The Seven Deadly Sins reappeared ten years later in the kingdom, having regathered six of its members over a short duration. They aided the third princess of Liones, Elizabeth, helping her liberate the kingdom from the oppressive rule of the Holy Knights and stopping Hendrickson's plan to release the long-sealed Demon Clan into the world.
Upon Hendrickson's defeat and his villainous plan to revive the Demon Clan being fully realized by the rest of the kingdom, the Seven Deadly Sins were praised as heroes for saving the kingdom. They were also cleared of their false crimes, and welcomed back into the kingdom of Liones once more.
After this, two members of the group separated from the rest, while the other four were involved in the battle against the Ten Commandments. After joining all once again, including the last missing member, they decided to take sides to stop the Ten Commandments. With the exception of Merlin, all the Sins participate in the Great Fight Festival, that ends with Meliodas being killed by the Ten Commandments.
