Gowther (Doll)

• Emotions Lost
• Emotions Restored
• Ten Commandments

“	Memories are merely information. Creating or erasing them is not difficult. What I want to understand is the emotion that reaches beyond them.	„
	~ Gowther explaining his intentions

Summary

Gowther is the Goat's Sin of Lust of the Seven Deadly Sins. For much of the series he completely lacked normal emotions, leading to him coming into occasional conflict with his fellow Sins because of his attempts to understand emotion.

He is actually a doll created by the original Gowther, an elite demon of the Ten Commandments from millennia ago. The original Gowther granted his doll real emotions, but the doll sealed them away after an extremely unfortunate incident with Nadja Liones, the deceased sister of King Bartra.

Nadja had found Gowther under the castle, 3000 years after the Holy War had ended. They spent time together and eventually fell in love, but Nadja was chronically ill and was destined to die young. After spending their last moments together in bed for the first time, Nadja died with a smile on her face. Confused and distraught, Gowther ripped his own heart out and attempted to replace Nadja's with it, just as he was caught by guards rushing to the room. He was charged with a heinous crime of lust and was later conscripted into the Sins by Meliodas.

Gowther later recovered his memories and emotions, recovering his true power along with them.

Attack Potency: City level (Inferior to Ban physically, although he easily decapitated Dale and caught Weinheidt's charged arrow) | Unknown (Far more powerful than his previous form, boasting a combat class of 35,400. However, Gowther rarely uses his abilities for destructive purposes, making his power difficult to gauge), likely at least Multi-Continent level (Fraudrin admitted that he was merely a stand-in for Gowther, and claimed that the situation would be far graver if the latter inherited Selflessness; Meliodas went on to deride Fraudrin as an unofficial Commandment and a third-rate substitute for the original Gowther, who almost entirely worked through his eponymous puppet). His magic revolves around mind attacks, which ignore conventional durability

Standard Equipment: His glasses, Twin Bow Herritt, and Balor's Magical Eye

Intelligence: Genius (An eccentric romantic at a glance, Gowther is an extremely pragmatic and logical individual, weighing options individually based on what he deems best at the time, easily altering the minds of dozens of Holy Knights who had been enhanced with Demon's Blood at once. He will also torture foes with their worst memories if he deems it necessary, showing a ruthless streak. He will even turn on his own comrades if it means accomplishing his goals, rewriting Guila's mind to forget Zeal in order to learn about what it means to have a heart and "stain" her as well as causing Diane to forget King and the Sins again)

Weaknesses: His curiosity sometimes gets the best of him, causing him to make irrational decisions to discover emotions and gain "a heart", he has poor eyesight and thus requires his glasses to see and aim properly. After regaining his emotions his mentality has completely stabilized.

Invasion

Gowther's magic power that grants him several mind-related abilities such as illusions, memory erasure, creation, and alteration, nerve control, and telepathy. Many of Gowther's techniques are used in conjunction with his Twin Bow Herritt, although he doesn't need it to use Invasion. Gowther's magic also deals damage to the soul.

• Blackout: In conjunction with Twin Bow Herritt, Gowther extends his power throughout a three mile radius, instantly incapacitating anyone within who has a spirit level less than 400 for exactly ten minutes.

• Broadcast: Gowther fires a thin beam of light that threads its way through everyone he wishes to communicate with, allowing him to transmit his thoughts to everyone affected.

• Illusions: Gowther can create illusions without directly hitting his target with Invasion. He created an illusory attack to fool Chandler into thinking Celestial Arrow had been fired, causing him to use Full Counter on nothing and create an opportunity for the real Arrow to hit.

• Jack: Gowther fires an Invasion blast at his target, taking direct control of their nerves in order to control their movements. Enemies being controlled by another, as well as those without nerves, are unaffected by this technique. Gowther can rapidly fire several Jack projectiles.

• • Gatling Jack: Gowther rapidly fires Jack in all directions without taking aim.

• • Hijack: Gowther uses Herritt to enhance his Jack to the point where he can control inanimate constructs like the earth golems created by Diane. He was able to wrest control of the golems from Diane despite her skill with Creation.

• Nightmare Teller: After hitting the target with an Invasion arrow or making physical contact with them, Gowther can produce nightmarish visions based on the target's most traumatic memories, trapping them in an endless nightmare. The victim is immobile and defenseless while under the effects of this technique. Even if the victim breaks free, they are left physically and mentally exhausted by the experience.

Playback

• Rewrite Light: Gowther uses Herritt to fire a barrage Invasion arrows, instantly rewriting the memories of those struck, causing them to perceive Gowther and his allies as friends, lovers, or whatever else Gowther needs them to be. However, these changes are only superficial, and they quickly become undone once the victims realize the inconsistencies in their memories.
