Originally cast under dark light, the Holy Knights are a group of powerful knights who serve the kingdom of Britannia and are tasked with protecting the kingdom from external and internal threats.

However, as the series progresses, it is revealed that the Holy Knights are corrupt and have their own agendas, including the overthrow of the kingdom and the assassination of the king.

However, as the evils are purged one by one, the Holy Knights join together again with the Seven Deadly Sins in their war against the Ten commandments and save the land of Britannia.

The Ten Commandments, led by Zeldris, are introduced as a group of powerful individuals who are sent to conquer the Earth on the Demon King’s wishes.

Through the later seasons, we are introduced to all the Ten Commandments, wherein each of them is bestowed with a certain unique power by the Demon King. The Commandments are –

  • DeriDeri 
  •  Drole 
  •  Estarossa
  •  Faudrin 
  •  Galand 
  •  Gloxinia 
  •  Grayroad 
  •  Melascula 
  •  Monspeet 
  • Zeldris 

Zeldris is also the older brother of Meliodas, the leader of the Seven Deadly Sins, and the two have a complicated history. While the eldest brother, Estarossa, is a powerful individual with unclear origins, which also leads to the biggest plot twist in the series.

Other villains in the series include Fraudrin, another member of the Ten Commandments, who possesses the body of Dreyfus, a former member of the Holy Knights.
