Description
Macduff is a Holy Knight who serves King Arthur Pendragon of Camelot in the sequel series to The Seven Deadly Sins. He appears in the second season of the anime adaptation as a supporting antagonist. His background places him among the elite knights of Camelot, loyal to Arthur’s cause and actively involved in hunting the prophesied Four Knights of the Apocalypse.
In terms of personality, Macduff is portrayed as a tough and cruel individual. He shows no hesitation when it comes to harming others, including children, and is generally willing to kill without remorse. He is notably proud of his own strength and becomes visibly irritated or enraged when young or inexperienced fighters manage to inflict serious wounds on him, often cursing loudly in response to such setbacks.
His primary motivation is to serve Camelot and carry out Arthur’s orders. He actively gathers intelligence on the Four Knights, using a spy stationed in Liones to confirm their location. He works alongside other Holy Knights, such as Teaninich, who uses animals for reconnaissance to locate the protagonists.
In the story, Macduff acts as an obstacle for the main characters. He confronts them in Wolnack, where his pursuit leads to a direct battle. His role is that of a disciplined but brutal enforcer sent to eliminate the Four Knights before they can fully assemble.
His key relationships are largely professional. He serves under Arthur Pendragon alongside fellow Holy Knights like Teaninich. He is ultimately defeated by Chion, a member of Prince Tristan’s squad, who kills him using fire spirit magic.
Macduff’s development is limited; he functions as a mid-tier antagonist whose defeat demonstrates the growing strength of the younger heroes. His death at Chion’s hands serves as a stepping stone for the protagonists’ progress rather than a moment of personal growth for him.
His notable ability involves fire spirit magic. This allows him to wield flames in combat, though the specifics of his magical techniques are not extensively detailed. He relies on this power in battle and is ultimately overcome when Chion uses a similar but more potent fire spirit attack against him.
