Height: 175cm / Weight: 61kg / Blood Type: Unknown / Race: Doll / Birthday: June 2 / Age: Unknown

Power Level: 3100 (Magic 1300/Strength 500/Spirit 1300) → Power Level: 35400

A member of the "Seven Deadly Sins," known as "Gowther of Lust." The beast symbol is a sheep. The tattoo is located on the right chest. In the wanted poster, he is depicted as a giant armored figure, but his true form is an androgynous handsome young man with glasses. He is the poster boy (?) of the Boar Hat Tavern.

His true identity is a doll created by the demon "Gowther of Selflessness," one of the Ten Commandments, to interact with the outside world from prison. Upon the death of the demon Gowther, he received a "magical heart" and became an autonomous being. However, after the death of his lover, Princess Nadja of Liones, he discarded his emotions and sealed his memories. Although he possesses flesh and blood, being a doll, he does not die even if decapitated, but if his magic is depleted, he reverts to his original palm-sized doll form.

He speaks in a mechanical and distinctive manner that Meliodas and others recognize immediately. He does not let others read his thoughts and is unable to read the atmosphere himself. He enjoys reading and becomes completely absorbed in the world of the book. He has a longing for a heart and observes humans to learn emotions, but sometimes his "learning" leads him to toy with people's hearts.

After the Seven Deadly Sins disbanded ten years ago, he arrived at the Forest of Ordan. There, he met the Holy Knight Dale, who was on the verge of going berserk after a failed experiment to absorb the power of the demon race, and gave him armor with an enchantment to suppress magical outbursts. Later, for some reason, he was injured and drifted to the village of Ordan, where he lived disguised as Armand, the servant of Pelio, who nursed him back to health, playing the fool for several years. He parted ways with Pelio, claiming it was due to a request from Princess Elizabeth, and reunited with his comrades. Even after reclaiming the kingdom, he continued to act with the Sins, but his longing led to various incidents, resulting in Diane losing her memory, temporarily leaving the Seven Deadly Sins, and worsening his relationship with King. During the Vaizel Fighting Festival, he attacked even his comrades like Escanor without mercy. After it was revealed that he was one of the Ten Commandments, he was imprisoned. After escaping from prison, he was shown the "magical heart" he possessed, which disturbed him, and he attempted to erase his memory by fleeing, but with the help of King and Diane, he regained his emotions and his original magic (his relationship with King and others improved, and he began to value his comrades). Later, sensing the collapse of the forbidden spell cast by himself and the demon Gowther in the past, he attempted to stop the resurrected Mael alone to fulfill his responsibility. With the help of his comrades, he cornered Mael, entered his mental space, and through dialogue, helped Mael regain his heart. He then headed to Camelot with his comrades and entered the mind of the resurrected Demon King, supporting Meliodas along with the others. During the victory feast after the Holy War, he was seen pouring drinks for Mael, indicating improved relations. In the battle against the resurrected Demon King, he took advantage of an opening to enter the mind with Meliodas and assisted in rescuing Zeldris. When Merlin's true intentions were revealed, he defended her. After the resolution with Cath, he set out on a journey to find what he should do. When they gathered again, he taught Tristan about the deeds of the Seven Deadly Sins.

In the TV anime version, his initial appearance differs, as he traveled various places with an armored giant, mimicking the appearance of a young man named Alan. He met Pelio after the reclamation of Liones.

Charge: "Seduced and defiled a princess out of 'lust,' then murdered her in a brutal manner."

Several decades before the story began, he was taken in by the then Princess Nadja of Liones, and they gradually fell in love. On her deathbed, sensing her end, Nadja requested to be loved one last time, and after she passed away peacefully, he attempted to entrust her with his "magical heart," leading to the charge. The knights and Denzel who arrived took it as such, but only Bartra, who can see the future, knows the truth. His dignified demeanor and speech, contrary to his appearance, were modeled after Prince Meldor, the protagonist of a story Nadja favored.

Sacred Treasure: "Twin Bow Herritt"

Embedded in Gowther's body, it manifests as a bow and arrow of light from both arms. It can unleash a barrage of arrows powered by his magic.
