However, this spell required more magical power than Gowther possessed even using the last drop of his life force, so he resorted to the help of his doll. Seeking to end the Holy War, Gowther resorted to a forbidden spell that altered the memories of an individual, also altering the memories of all related topics, including the most powerful gods such as the Demon King. When Zeldris appears to return Gowther to his prison, Drole confronts him to allow both Gowther to escape. Also, he restored Diane's lost memory as a thank-you for looking after Gowther in the future. After some emotional words of farewell to his doll, Gowther asks Diane to take care of him in the future and show him the right path. Gowther states that he will end the Holy War, but that his death was necessary for that. There, he decides to release his doll so that from there he could live on his own. Īfter his escape, Gowther met with Drole and Gloxinia (who were then Diane and King in their bodies), as well as with his Gowther doll. Being asked about his plans by a shocked Melascula, he reveals that he is not interested in the Holy War at all. 3,000 years agoĪfter the Demon Clan created a plan to rescue the hostages the Goddess Clan took during the Holy War, Gowther decided to use this occasion to finally escape his prison after 500 years.Īs his doll was supposed to assist Melascula in connecting the gate to the Celestial Realm inside the Light of Grace to the Demon Realm, he used Invasion on her to make her link it to the Demon Prison instead, thus securing his freedom.

It is currently unknown if this happened before or during the start of the Holy War. Īt some point, he was also Merlin's master, teaching her magic with her father. Just before being imprisoned, Gowther created a doll in the likeness of his lover to be his alter ego which would serve as the only way he could keep contact with the outside world until the start of the Holy War. Around that time, he was also brought to the Demon Prison since he denied the role of Selflessness. Gowther was unwillingly chosen to be a member of the Ten Commandments because he was such a powerful wizard that he was recognized even by the Demon King at least 500 years before the start of the Holy War. However, Gowther has shown himself to be subtly vindictive when he chose Mael of the Four Archangels to brainwash him (and everyone who knew Mael) into Estarossa of the Ten Commandments as punishment for murdering his lover, Glariza while staying true to his plan of ending the Holy War at the cost of his own life. 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. Unlike most Demons, Gowther is shown to be a kind and caring person as shown treating the doll like a son to him, wanting his creation to live a life he could never have, and helping Diane (in Drole's body) restore her lost memories. For unknown reasons, Gowther ended up in a wheelchair that seems to float. He wears a green vest and yellow shirt and has a white collar around his neck. His demon mark is a black mark that goes above and below his right eye. He has dirty blond hair, and a lightning shaped cowlick in front of his right eye. Gowther is a male demon who looks like he is in his forties.
