Without their leader, Meliodas, they became known as “The Seven Deadly Sins” for breaking the commandments set forth by the Goddesses, and were trapped in an enchanted prison called Purgatory for hundreds of years. Their supposed defeat came at the hands of the Holy Knights, but it was later revealed that they actually defeated themselves and had to sacrifice their own leader Meliodas to seal away their sins. Their supposed defeat by the Holy Knights 100 years ago caused their reputation to become tarnished, and now the Seven Deadly Sins are regarded as little more than a myth. The Seven Deadly Sins were once an active group of knights in the region of Britannia (present-day Great Britain).
