Category:Eight Deadly Sins

Around 2 billion years ago on Earth-091991, the Eight Deadly Sins were the strongest and cruelest order of Holy Knights in the Kingdom of Trelocaea. They were formed by eight brutal criminals, who had all been convicted for grievous crimes and had carved the symbols of eight beasts onto their bodies. After having been framed for murdering the greatest Holy Knight, they were indefinitely disbanded, as well as branded as traitors and villains.

Sins Committed
Each member of the Eight Deadly Sins had been judged and found guilty of committing a grievous crime by the Kingdom of Trelocaea, with their title being given based on the root moral failing on their part which caused this crime. Though it sounds clear cut, for most of them it seems extenuating circumstances were at play.

Ayden
Ayden's crime is never truly revealed as she admits on multiple occasions having committed countless crimes during her millions of years alive. However, the crime she feels to be the worst is her lack of effort in saving many of her loved ones, notably her father Samuel Jaubert, Elena Shostakovitch, Damian Shostakovitch, Meliodas Bearáin and Frida.

It is often implied her crime might be her final action leading to her first performance of the "Song of Mortality," though, arguably, it can also be the performance itself, which brought natural chaos around the world, or the nearly accomplished genocide of the Dark Elves of Svartalfheim in an act of revenge for the murder of Frida and the destruction of Caellana Forest's Eternal Fountain and Tree of Life.

Meliodas
Meliodas considers his sin to be his failure to protect Kembrea, its citizens, and his first ever best friend— Liz— from the kingdom's annihilation.​​ The official story is that Meliodas lost himself in his wrath and annihilated the Kingdom himself.

Diane
She is labeled the Sin of Envy for her jealousy towards a former, giant companion of hers (who she supposedly murdered), along with 330 innocent knights of the kingdom. She is sentenced to death by beheading but Meliodas thwarted it under direct orders of the king of Trelocaea.

Ban
As the only survivor of the Fairy King's Forest, he took the blame and was convicted for destroying the forest and killing its guardian saint, Elaine. As a result, he was sentenced to death, and became known as the Sin of Greed due to his apparent greed for immortality.​

King
After supposedly ending Helbram's life, King took on the sentence for ignoring Helbram's mass murdering of humans continuously over a period of five hundred years. This came close to sparking a war between humans and fairies. He was consequently sentenced to an imprisonment for a thousand years, and was recognized as the Sin of Sloth as he ignored the atrocities committed and turned a blind eye.

Gowther
Gowther was granted the Sin of Lust after he was accused of forcing Nadja, Bartra Trelocaea' younger sister, to vile sexual acts, which ended in her death.

Eight Laws of the Eight Deadly Sins
There are Eight laws that each member of the group is required to abide by. So far, only four of these laws has been revealed. The laws were created by Meliodas.​
 * Law #3: "A Sin shall ask no questions of another member's sin."​
 * Law #4: "If a friend is in crisis everybody needs to use all of his or her power to help."​
 * Law #5: "When two Sins are in disagreement they can resolve it with a fight."​
 * Law #6: "If two Sins are fighting to the death, the other five must do their utmost to stop them even if it means eliminating the perpetrator."​
