Cain Barzad
Cain Barzad
Voiced by: Takashi Inagaki (Japanese), Steve Kramer (English) Foreign VAs
Magic: Blaze
Cain is an elderly man who was first introduced in the first Vaizel's annual fighting festival in the series as the one who led the Seven Deadly Sins to it and as a contestant. While he doesn't look like it, he is actually a former Holy Knight of Danafor.
- 24-Hour Armor: He wore his full body armor so much in the past that Meliodas had actually never seen him out of it prior to their reunion.
- Drunken Master: When he is first introduced, Cain is presented as a drunk. Despite this, he is rather skilled.
- Forgotten Friend, New Foe: When Cain realizes that the person he assumed was Meliodas' son with Strong Family Resemblance was actually Meliodas himself, he presented himself as this trope. In reality though, Meliodas couldn't remember him because Cain always wore full body armor and always went by his Red Baron moniker in the past. The two also fortunately make up in the end.
- Obfuscating Disability: He might seem like a weak old man with a bad back but he's actually very strong.
- Only Known by Their Nickname: He went by "The Flame Barzad" so much in the past that Meliodas never actually knew him other than that prior to their reunion.
- Playing with Fire: Cain's main power.
- Red Baron: In the past, he called himself "The Flame Barzad" in association to his fire abilities.
- Survivor's Guilt: He is the only survivor of the Danafor massacre. The guilt plagues him that he wasn't there.
Liz
Liz
Voiced by: Sora Amamiya (Japanese), Erika Harlacher (English) Foreign VAs
A young woman who resembles Elizabeth, and who was once Meliodas' lover when he served Danafor. She was originally a slave of an enemy kingdom of Danafor before being freed by Meliodas. Initially hostile to Meliodas and the Holy Knights of Danafor, she later opened up to them.
- Born-Again Immortality: As part of the curse her original incarnation received. Right after she died, Liz turned into a baby and she would grow up to be Elizabeth Liones.
- Boyish Short Hair: Unlike Elizabeth, Liz had short hair and she was quite tomboyish.
- Curb-Stomp Cushion: Despite knowing she stood no chance against Fraudrin, once of the Ten Commandments, she fought him regardless to avenge the dead and rescue the hostages in Danafor. Liz died for her efforts but lasted longer than Fraudrin's other victims.
- Defrosting Ice Queen: Initially, she was rather hostile to Meliodas due to them being originally on different sides. However, she later warmed up to him and others.
- Died in Your Arms Tonight: She died in Meliodas' arms.
- Fiery Redhead: Unlike Elizabeth, Liz has reddish hair. Also, unlike the sweet-natured princess, Liz is violent and short-tempered.
- Identical Stranger: Liz looks just like Elizabeth save for her hair. Justified as the latter's her reincarnation.
- Interspecies Romance: Liz, a human, fell in love with Meliodas a member of the Demon Clan.
- The Lost Lenore: For Meliodas. Her death plays a major role on his current emotional struggles and him coming to terms with his inability to protect her. It's a lot more complicated than simply this though as Liz is actually Elizabeth and she's a Goddess who has constantly died and reincarnated for over 3,000 years. There has been 106 times in which Meliodas has failed to save her and he's trying to find a way to end their curse.
- Made a Slave: Liz was sold as a slave to an enemy kingdom of Danafor before being freed by Meliodas.
- The Needs of the Many: She urged Meliodas to not try and save her from reincarnation, being content with the time they had, though it was short. The only way it could be done is if he freed Zeldris and bargained with him. Meliodas and Merlin agree with Liz that freeing the demons would cause an apocalypse and saving one person to sacrifice others would be wrong.
- Only Known by Their Nickname: Liz's full name is Elizabeth, but she is primarily referred to as Liz by various characters as a way to differentiate her from Princess Elizabeth.
- Posthumous Character: She is long dead prior to the start of the story. It's played with later as Liz is actually one of the many reincarnations of the Goddess Elizabeth and she's currently living as Elizabeth Liones.
- Reincarnation: The 106th reincarnation of Goddess Elizabeth. After Liz died, she was immediately reborn as Princess Elizabeth.
- Significant Name Overlap: Liz's full given name is Elizabeth, same as Princess Elizabeth Liones. It's because Elizabeth is Liz's reincarnation.
- Tomboyish Voice: Liz's voice was notably deeper than Elizabeth's and she was much more aggressive and tomboyish than the princess.
- Tsundere: Even after falling in love with him, she would still beat up Meliodas when he groped her, albeit only if he did so in public.
Druids
Known as the sorcerers of the forest, druids are humans who revere the Goddess Clan and have the distinction of being able to cast a number of White Magic related spells. Their homeland Istar is an island in the middle of a lake which can only be accessed by those allowed by the druids. A number of other characters within the series while not exactly druids proper, are descended from druid origin.
Tropes pertaining to the Druids in general
- Circle of Standing Stones: The gateway to the druids' homeland as well as the surrounding stone structures are very reminiscent of Stonehenge.
- Druid: Their main characteristic which is reminiscent of ancient British druids of legend and lore.
- Hidden Elf Village: Their homeland which is reminiscent of Avalon from the Arthurian Legend mythos, is a lake based island that is completely hidden. Only those allowed by the druids can pass through the gateway to it.
- Matriarchy: Amongst the druids, there is a particular sect wherein the women act as Apostles of the Goddesses while the men serve as mere priests. Most other druids are just ordinary practitioners.
- Mystical White Hair: Many druids and druid descended characters have white or silver hair. According to a
Q&A from chapter 129, not all druids have this particular trait but many of them do have it. - People of Hair Color: Mystical White Hair is a rather common trait among many druids and those that have descended from them.
- White Magic: Healing Magic and other such related spells are abilities that can only be used by druids and their descendants.
Chiefs
Tropes pertaining to both
- Establishing Character Moment:
- When first introduced, Jenna starts playing around with Hawk like he's some sort of toy the moment the two meet.
- When first introduced, Zaneli glares at Elizabeth and then proceeds to place Meliodas' hand on her breasts, establishing her unrequited love for Meliodas and resentment toward his love interest Elizabeth over it.
- Fashionable Asymmetry: Jenna's dress only have a left detached sleeve and Zaneli's dress only has a right detached sleeve.
- Flowers of Nature: Their dresses are decorated with flowers to show their connection to nature as Druids.
- God in Human Form: In a sidestory in Volume 23 of the manga, while Jenna and Zaneli recognize Meliodas as actually being a demon, he on the other hand recognizes them as actually being goddesses. This is further elaborated in the sidestory's continuation in Volume 24. Unlike the majority of the Goddess Clan who used all their powers up sealing away the Demon King and the Ten Commandments thus losing their physical bodies during the war 3,000 years ago, these two goddesses instead ran away due to having doubts about the war itself and how their fellow goddesses saw things. Sometime after they escaped, they encountered the twin human sisters whose bodies they now inhabit. The twins' bodies and souls were so damaged from battle and starvation that they were beyond the two goddesses' powers to save them. The two goddesses however earned the twins' permissions to borrow their bodies. Possessing the twins' bodies, the two goddesses pretended to be humans to escape the war and have since then been in hiding.
- Identical Twin ID Tag: Jenna has blond hair that's braided to the right and a blue dress (red in the anime) that only has a left sleeve. Her dress also doesn't have the long skirt that her sister's identical looking attire has, instead looking more like a one piece miniskirt. Zaneli has violet hair that's braided to the left and a white dress that only has a right sleeve. Her dress also has a long skirt that covers her legs unlike that of her sister's.
- Polar Opposite Twins: Jenna is more laid-back and upfront than her sister based on both general personality and looks however, she's more serious about the situation when the Sins come to the druids for aid. She's essentially somewhat the more mature sister in this regard. Zaneli is more reserved than her sister based on both general personality and looks however, she's slightly more focused on Meliodas than the actual situation at hand as she sabotages Elizabeth's training. She's essentially somewhat the less mature sister in this regard.
- Really 700 Years Old: Though listed as humans, the second Fanbook also interestingly lists Jenna and Zaneli's ages as 1800. This may have to do with the fact that they're actually goddesses as revealed in a sidestory in Volume 23 of the manga.

- Family Theme Naming: Although his little brother goes by Hawk, his birth name is Mild, which is only a letter away from Wild's name.

A gigantic heavily mutated Holy Knight that was found inhabiting Gowther's armor in Ordan Forest.
- Adaptation Dye-Job: The cover of Volume 7 of the manga depicts the eponymous armor which the creatures wears as simply gray. The anime gives the armor a purple colorscheme matching more that of Gowther's.
- Adaptation Expansion: We see more of it before it went berserk in the anime.

- Red Baron: It was called the Armored Giant due to it wearing Gowther's armor.
- Red Herring: It's initially assumed to be Gowther due to wearing his armor, however it turns out not to be him. In anime, the assumption is made further by the way it speaks which can be interpreted as it addressing itself as Gowther rather than it addressing the real Gowther during their interactions.
- Sealed Evil in a Can: Gowther sealed it in his own armor in order to suppress its power.
- Tragic Monster: He was mutated by Hendrickson. As such, he thanks Ban after his Mercy Kill.

Unaffiliated Characters
Cath (Unmarked Spoilers)
Cath
Voiced by: Aoi Yūki (Japanese), Abby Trott (English) Foreign VAs
Second Form
Third Form
Arthur's rounded cat-like creature that he somehow gained after going through the Cave of Training in the druid's homeland.
- Action Pet: It devoured Peronia, a demon who kept Arthur running in an illusion loop in order to satisfy his hunger.
- Animalistic Abomination: Its true form is a giant, eight-legged slobbering monstrosity created by Chaos, with only a loose resemblance to a cat.
- Beast of the Apocalypse: It's a monster who's sole reason for being is to unmake the world and everyone in it.
- Black Bead Eyes: Its initial form has black dot eyes. After eating Arthur's right arm, Cath's new form has regular feline eyes.
- A Boy and His X: Cath becomes attached to Arthur, going so far as to take a beating from Zeldris and Cusack in order to buy time for Arthur to reach Excalibur. Subverted when it's revealed Cath is a monster that only seemed to be loyal to Arthur so it could devour him and steal the power of Chaos.
- Cats Are Mean: It looks like a blob with a cat's face, ears and tail. While it may look harmless at first, its true nature is very vicious and monstrous. Cath is really a twisted embodiment of greed and gluttony with a single-minded drive to take Chaos.
- Complete Immortality: Cath exists beyond life and death. Even Arthur, armed with the power of Chaos itself, is unable to kill it and can only absorb it into himself.
- Creepy High-Pitched Voice: As a Chaos-powered monster, Cath's high-pitched voice makes it sound creepy.
- Destroyer Deity: Arthur surmises that the Cath Palug is the Anthropomorphic Personification of Chaos' will to destroy its own creations, hence why it's so obsessed with reuniting with Chaos (in a manner of speaking) and destroying the universe with its power.
- A Dog Named "Perro": "Cath" is Welsh for cat.
- Evil Makes You Monstrous: Initially, Cath appears as Arthur's cute cat-like pet. After it betrays Arthur and devours his arm, the power of Chaos transforms Cath into a horrifying feline monster.
- False Friend: It's revealed that Cath never really cared for Arthur as a friend, only as a source of power for him to feed on once he gained the Power of Chaos.
- Fangs Are Evil: After revealing its true nature and eating Arthur's arm, Cath takes the form of a monstrous cat with razor-sharp teeth sticking out of its snout.
- Head Pet: Cath first shows up seemingly completely stuck to the top of Arthur's head. Turns out he's sticking to him to absorb the energy of the vessel for Chaos.
- Hellish Pupils: In its monster form, Cath gains red eyes with slitted pupils.
- Killer Rabbit: Cath might look like a super cute cat head, but it's way more dangerous and scary than anyone could think. Just look at how Cath devoured the demon Peronia and Arthur's arm.
- More Teeth than the Osmond Family: When it opens its snout, Cath reveals a big mouth full of fangs, which become much more visible in its monster form.
- Omnicidal Maniac: Unlike its siblings the Demon King and the Supreme Deity, who both wanted to conquer and control the world, Cath Palug desires to destroy it using the power of Chaos.
- The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: Cath's actions in protecting Arthur weren't motivated by affection or loyalty, but by a predatory instinct to keep others from taking its prey before it could eat Arthur once he became the host of Chaos.
- Outside-Context Problem: In the final arc, the Demon King has been defeated for good and Merlin revives Arthur by making him the host of Chaos. There doesn't seem to be any major enemy or problem left in the plot, until Cath attacks Arthur and devours his arm to absorb some of his Chaos power. No one had expected that Cath would turn out to be a Chaos-created monster.
- Parrot Pet Position: After the Time Skip following Meliodas' death by Estarossa, Cath has grown considerably and as such moved to sticking to Arthur's shoulder.
- Post-Climax Confrontation: Cath Palug is the final enemy fought in the manga, but the battle against him is shorter and less climatic than the fight against the Demon King. He only serves to tie up loose ends on Arthur and Merlin's character arcs, and in the end, it's Arthur who ends up defeating him.
- Public Domain Character: The name that Arthur chooses for the cat is a reference to the Cath Palug, a monstrous
cat from Welsh and French legend that was slain by Sir Kay in certain Welsh writings, and fought against King Arthur himself in certain French writings such as Li Romanz des Franceis and L’Estoire de Merlin in which in some tales, it kills Arthur while in others, it's killed by Arthur. - Red Eyes, Take Warning: After eating Arthur's arm and absorbing some of his Chaos power, Cath takes a new monstruous form with red pupils.
- Ridiculously Cute Critter: It looks like an adorable cat head with a tail. When it starts showing its true colors, it becomes considerably less cute.
- Sealed Evil in a Can: After defeated by Chaos, Cath Palug caused so much mischief and misfortune that the Goddess Race sealed it away into Purgatory until it somehow escaped.
- Straw Nihilist: He waxes poetic about how regardless of the cause, everyone and everything falls to entropy at some point, and that it would be more convenient if he simply killed everyone immediately instead of delaying the inevitable.
- Viler New Villain: After the final defeat of the Demon King, Cath is an entity created by Chaos, just like the Demon King and the Supreme Deity. Unlike the other two who sealed Chaos and fought each other over world domination, Cath seeks to become one with Chaos and destroy the universe.
- Voice of the Legion: After absorbing some Chaos power by eating Arthur's arm, Cath's voice gains a demonic sound effect.
- White and Red and Eerie All Over: Cath is a white cat-like creature with red spots. He looks cute at first, but his true form is something much more monstrous and evil.
