Zeldris is the secondary antagonist of the manga/anime series The Seven Deadly Sins, the deuteragonist of its 2021 sequel film The Seven Deadly Sins: Cursed by Light, and a major character of its sequel series The Four Knights of the Apocalypse.

He is the second son of the Demon King, the younger brother of Meliodas, and the former leader of the Demon Clan's elite force, the Ten Commandments. He later becomes the new ruler of the Demon Realm and has established peace with Meliodas.

Like his brother Meliodas, he is voiced by Yuki Kaji in Japanese and Bryce Papenbrook in English.

Biography

Zeldris was born into the Demon clan as the second son of the Demon King and the younger brother of Meliodas.

He grew up as a proud warrior alongside his brother for the Demon clan and at one point fell in love with a vampire woman named Gelda. However, he was ordered to kill all the vampires for breaking their treaty with the Demon clan under his father but could not bring himself to kill his lover Gelda so he sealed her away. He also heard that his older brother Meliodas betrayed their clan and had become the new leader of the Ten Commandments.

He later was sealed alongside the rest of the demon clan until Fraudian managed to release him and the rest of the Ten Commandments. Together with Zeldrias as their leader they went on to hunt down Meliodas for his betrayal and to take over the kingdom to revive the demon clan.

Trivia

• Following the defeat of the Supreme Deity, Zeldris returned to the Demon Plane to be the new ruler; his time around the Seven Deadly Sins have given Zeldris a new outlook.
• Zeldris was quite surprised by Elizabeth's pregnancy, having thought it impossible for a goddess and demon to concieve.
