The Mystery Of Gowther: Demon Or Not?

Gowther is a character in the manga series, The Seven Deadly Sins, written and illustrated by Nakaba Suzuki. Gowther is a member of the Seven Deadly Sins, known as the Goat's Sin of Lust. Gowther is an androgynous, pink-haired bookworm who wears glasses and is usually clad in a suit of armour. Gowther is revealed to be an animated doll created by a demon sorcerer of the same name, forced to bear the Demon King's soul fragment of Selflessness. The original Gowther created the doll in the image of his lover, Glariza, but made it male so he wouldn't feel any attraction to his creation. The doll Gowther served as his creator's proxy in the Ten Commandments, an elite group of warriors serving directly under the Demon King.

Gowther is a doll created by a demon sorcerer

The Gowther doll was created in the image of his creator's deceased lover but was made male so as not to have sexual desire for his creation. Gowther of Selflessness gave the doll free will before helping his creator end the Holy War by rewriting Archangel Mael's identity. Gowther of Selflessness died in front of his doll, asking him to realize the dream that he could not.

After his creator's death, the Gowther doll disappeared and was found centuries later in the cellar of Liones Castle by Princess Nadja Liones, with whom he fell in love. The Gowther doll tried to save Nadja from her illness by giving her his magic heart, but he failed and was blamed for her death. Feeling guilty, he discarded his magic heart and rendered himself emotionless so that he would never feel pain again. Gowther then joined the Seven Deadly Sins, where he was known as the Goat's Sin of Lust.

The demon Gowther is a member of the Demon Clan's Ten Commandments

The Demon Gowther is a member of the Demon Clans Ten Commandments, an elite group of ten warriors who are the strongest in the Demon Clan. He is a powerful mage, recognised even by the Demon King, and serves directly under the Demon King as the Selflessness of the Ten Commandments.

Gowther was a member of the Ten Commandments before he joined the Seven Deadly Sins. He was imprisoned for 500 years for his refusal to fight in the Holy War. During his imprisonment, Gowther created a doll in the form of his old lover to act as his alter ego and keep in contact with the outside world. This doll, also known as Gowther, is the Gowther who joins the Seven Deadly Sins.

The Demon Gowther was unwillingly chosen to be a member of the Ten Commandments because of his immense power. He was bestowed with the Commandment of Selflessness by the Demon King, which causes those inflicted by its curse to lose their memories, feelings, and entire sense of self. Gowther was imprisoned when he refused to accept the role of Selflessness.

Gowther tricked his way out of prison with the help of his doll and met with Drole and Gloxinia, as well as his Gowther doll. He decided to release his doll, granting him a heart, a will, and a mind of his own so that he could live independently. Gowther also restored Diane's lost memory as a thank-you for looking after the Gowther doll in the future.

Gowther resorted to a forbidden spell that altered the memories of an individual, including the memories of powerful gods such as the Demon King. This spell required more magical power than Gowther possessed, so he used the help of his doll. The two Gowthers used the spell to alter the memories of the Archangel Mael, giving him a new identity as the second son of the Demon King, "Estarossa". They knew that losing the Archangel would force the Goddess Clan to use the seal of the Coffin of Eternal Darkness and thus end the Holy War.

Gowther died in front of his doll after using all his life force in the forbidden spell. After his death, Fraudrin replaced him as the Selflessness of the Ten Commandments.

Gowther is a member of the Seven Deadly Sins

Gowther is later revealed to be an animated doll created by his namesake, a demon sorcerer forced to bear the Demon King's soul fragment bearing Selflessness, which causes those inflicted by it to lose their sense of self. Gowther was modelled after his creator's lover, Glariza, to serve as his proxy in the Ten Commandments. Gowther received free will before helping his creator end the Holy War by rewriting Mael's identity. Gowther disappeared afterward, found centuries later in the cellar of Liones Castle by Bartra's sister Princess Nadja, whom Gowther fell in love with. While Nadja returned Gowther's sentiment, she died from an illness of the heart while resting against him. Gowther tried reviving her with his magic heart – a charm that he was told gives him his emotions – but it failed to resurrect her, and made it appear that he had sadistically raped and murdered her. Gowther accepted the blame for his "crime of lust" out of guilt, discarding his magic heart to render himself emotionless so he would no longer feel the pain of losing Nadja.

It was only after learning that King and Diane were searching for his magic heart that Gowther learned that it was only a placebo to begin with, and he begins accepting his emotions, allowing him to be more sociable while using his power to its full extent without trouble. Gowther's special ability, Invasion, is a versatile ability that enables him to invade a person's mind and manipulate it in various ways, including memory alteration, forcing opponents to relive their worst moments, and telepathically relaying coordinated battle plans to his allies almost instantaneously. As a doll, Gowther has shown a high level of resilience to attacks normally fatal to humans, such as decapitation. His sacred treasure is Herritt, which takes the form of twin bows made of light that greatly enhances the spread and range of his Invasion. Like Hawk, Gowther is equipped with a Balor Power Eye that allows him to detect the overall power level of anyone in his vicinity.

Gowther is a former member of the Demon Clan

Gowther is a male demon who looks to be in his forties. He has dirty blond hair, and a lightning-shaped cowlick in front of his right eye. His demon mark is a black mark that goes above and below his right eye. Gowther wears a green vest and yellow shirt and has a white collar around his neck. For unknown reasons, he ended up in a wheelchair that seems to float.

Gowther is shown to be a kind and caring person. He treated the doll he created as a son, wanting his creation to live a life he could never have. He was also a known pacifist who refused to fight in the Holy War, instead desiring a humane way to end the ongoing fighting using forbidden magic. However, Gowther has shown himself to be subtly vindictive when he chose Mael of the Four Archangels to brainwash him as punishment for murdering his lover, Glariza.

Gowther is the namesake of a doll he created. The doll Gowther is a member of the Seven Deadly Sins and bears the Sin of Lust, symbolized by the Goat symbol tattooed above his breast. Gowther is an androgynous and bespectacled bookworm with pink hair who originally clad himself in a massive suit of armour. Gowther is first seen as emotionless and analytically stoic while also very socially inept as his curiosity often has him performing highly questionable actions, such as manipulating the memories of others. Gowther is later revealed to be an animated doll created by his namesake, a demon sorcerer.

Gowther is a powerful mage

Gowther was a known pacifist who refused to fight in the Holy War, instead desiring a humane way to end the ongoing fighting using forbidden magic. He was imprisoned by the Demon King for 500 years for his pacifistic refusal to fight. While imprisoned, his only contact with the outside world was through Gowther, a doll he created in the form of his old lover.

Gowther is exceptionally powerful, even without his emotions and memories. He has a great amount of magic power and is more powerful than most Holy Knights. He is so well-made that even Merlin is unable to improve him. Gowther's power, Invasion, enables him to invade a person's mind and manipulate it in various ways, including memory alteration, forcing opponents to relive their worst moments, and telepathically relaying coordinated battle plans to his allies almost instantaneously.

Gowther is also physically strong, despite his frail body frame. He can catch Weinheidt's charged arrow with his bare hands and slice through the armour of the Armor Giant with ease. He also has pseudo-immortality, being able to survive otherwise fatal injuries.
