Golgius is a male Holy Knight from the kingdom of Liones in The Seven Deadly Sins, known for his polite demeanor that masks a cold, ruthless and self‑serving nature, and for his ability to turn invisible through his magic “Invisibility.”
Name: Golgius
Gender: Male
Height: 180 cm
Birthday: February 8
Affiliation: Holy Knights of Liones
Voice Actor (Japanese): Cho
Golgius outwardly speaks and behaves with exaggerated politeness and formality.
Beneath this courteous exterior, however, he is cruel, calculating, and willing to use any underhanded method to achieve his aims.
He shows no hesitation in taking hostages, threatening innocents, or betraying expectations of knightly honor.
His actions reveal a fundamentally self‑centered worldview, where his own survival and advantage come before any code of chivalry.
Despite this ruthless side, he is not completely unfeeling.
Later events suggest he is capable of fear, gratitude, and even a measure of humility when confronted with overwhelming danger.
Golgius is a Holy Knight whose fighting style mixes stealth, trickery, and unusual weapons.
He prefers to avoid direct confrontation, using his magic and tools to strike from hiding and keep opponents off balance.
Weapons
Golgius wields a distinctive sword whose tip splits into three separate points.
This unusual blade suits his deceptive style, allowing unpredictable slashes and thrusts.
He also uses crescent moon‑shaped throwing weapons as projectiles.
These small, curved blades function as hidden weapons or surprise long‑range attacks when combined with his invisibility.
Magic: Invisibility
Golgius’s magic is “Invisibility,” a power that allows him to make himself transparent and effectively disappear from sight.
At first, other characters mistake his sudden appearances and disappearances for teleportation.
However, Hawk notices a lingering trail that smells like iron, tipping off that Golgius is actually moving physically instead of warping through space.
Thanks to this clue, Meliodas is able to see through Golgius’s trick and understand the real nature of his magic.
Invisibility makes Golgius extremely dangerous in ambushes and kidnappings.
But once his technique is exposed, its effectiveness drops, especially against opponents with keen senses or experience fighting magical deception.
Early Confrontation with Meliodas
Golgius first comes into conflict with Meliodas, captain of The Seven Deadly Sins.
Despite his confident use of invisibility, he ultimately retreats when faced with Meliodas’s strength and perception.
Later, he attempts a more elaborate plan involving the Baste Prison.
Instead of fighting the Sins head‑on, he tries to seal Meliodas and the entire Baste Prison at once, eliminating them in one move.
However, this plan fails in a spectacularly simple way.
Ban and Meliodas casually destroy the sealing measure while arm‑wrestling, effortlessly breaking what Golgius thought would be an inescapable trap.
After this humiliation and failure, Golgius disappears from the scene for a time.
His absence suggests he is either in hiding or reassessing his place among the Holy Knights.
Hostage Tactics and Cruelty
One of Golgius’s most notorious acts is taking Sennett as a hostage.
He uses Sennett to threaten Dana, showing how far he is willing to go to get what he wants.
This willingness to harm or kill innocents for leverage underlines his cold and independent streak.
He does not act out of loyalty or ideology, but purely from his own agenda.
Encounter During the Ten Commandments Crisis
When the Ten Commandments appear and their overwhelming power terrifies the people, chaos spreads through the kingdom.
Ordinary citizens, driven by fear of demons and mistrust of the Holy Knights, become violent mobs.
Golgius himself is nearly killed by these rampaging citizens, who turn on him in their panic.
On the verge of death, he flees into the Boar Hat tavern, the traveling bar associated with The Seven Deadly Sins.
Inside, he is taken in and treated by Elizabeth Liones.
Despite his earlier cruelty, Elizabeth tends to his injuries and shows him kindness without discrimination.
Deeply affected by this unexpected mercy, Golgius expresses gratitude to Elizabeth Liones.
After recovering enough to move, he quietly leaves the Boar Hat and sets off on an unspecified journey.
This moment hints at possible growth or reflection in his character.
While he does not fully atone for his past actions, he is no longer simply the same cold‑blooded Holy Knight he once was.
Appearance in Four Knights of the Apocalypse
Golgius later appears again in the Four Knights of the Apocalypse, during the Liones arc.
In this storyline, he shows up as part of the reinforcements supporting Pelliot.
His return in this later era implies that he survives the earlier conflicts and remains active in the wider world.
Although still not a central hero, his continued presence adds depth and continuity to the setting.
Golgius treats Meliodas as a dangerous enemy to be eliminated through trickery.
Their confrontations highlight the gap between Golgius’s underhanded tactics and Meliodas’s raw power and sharp instincts.
Ban:
Ban plays a key role in casually destroying Golgius’s sealing plan on Baste Prison.
For Golgius, Ban represents another overwhelming force that makes his schemes look small and ineffective.
Hawk:
Hawk’s ability to smell the “iron‑scented trail” of Golgius’s movements is the key to exposing his magic.
This observation completely undermines Golgius’s image as an untouchable, teleporting assassin.
Elizabeth Liones nurses Golgius back to health when he seeks refuge in the Boar Hat from a murderous mob.
Her kindness softens his attitude, leading him to sincerely thank her before leaving on his journey.
Dana and Sennett:
Golgius uses Sennett as a hostage to coerce Dana, demonstrating his willingness to exploit anyone for leverage.
This incident stands out as one of his most ruthless and morally corrupt actions.
In the Four Knights of the Apocalypse era, Golgius appears as support for Pelliot.
Their alliance suggests that in later years, Golgius may operate more as a functional ally than as an outright antagonist.
Golgius embodies the idea of a knight who has abandoned true honor for survival and convenience.
He relies on stealth, deception, and hostages instead of courage or fair combat.
His invisibility magic is a perfect metaphor for his personality.
Just as he hides his body from sight, he hides his true intentions behind a mask of polite speech and refined manners.
The incident at the Boar Hat with Elizabeth Liones introduces a small spark of humanity into his story.
He is forced to confront what it feels like to be weak, hunted, and then saved by someone he once would have exploited.
Later appearances alongside allies like Pelliot show that he does not simply vanish from the world after his failures.
Instead, he continues to survive and adapt, remaining a slippery, persistent figure in the background of the larger saga.
