Gluttony

"He was a rake through and through. And he seemed adored for it."

- Emilia describing Gluttony

Gluttony is one of the seven princes of Hell, ruling over House Gluttony within the seven circles. Gluttony is first introduced in the second book, Kingdom of the Cursed, when he hosts the Feast of the Wolf in his home.

Kingdom of the Cursed
Gluttony is first introduced when Emilia and Wrath arrive at House Gluttony for the Feat of the Wolf, wherein Emilia is the guest of honour. On the way into the Feast, Wrath states that Gluttony likes to "shock his guests", referring to the sexual scene that is playing out in the entryway to his home.

In the Feast, Gluttony sits with two women on a throne. He calls Emilia and Wrath over and after teasing them about Emilia's status as Wrath's wife, taunts them with the idea of spending time with her while Wrath goes on the Hunt the next day. His playful mood, however, is quickly dissolved and replaced when he notices a journalist from the Shifting Isles has crashed the party. According to Wrath, the journalist described his last party as "perfectly ordinary and utterly contrived. A predictable, uninspired evening".

The next day, Gluttony convinces Emilia to participate in the hunt, luring her with the prize for winning: if a lesser demon wins, they have the option to drink the elixir of life, blood. If a royal wins, they pick their own prize, which at least four of them must vote in favour of. Whoever draws first blood from the prey is the winner.

Appearance
He is described as having ruffled brown hair with strands of gold and red, depending on the lighting. He has hazel eyes made up of a mixture of green, gold and brown. Emilia describes him as being not quite as tall as Wrath. He has broad shoulders and narrow hips, and when seen in KOTW, he wears a bronze crown with gemstones and a blackberry-colored suit.

Personality
Like his brothers, Gluttony's personality heavily relates to his namessake sin. He is gluttonous in that he overindulgous in things he enjoys, including vices and things that might be linked to his brothers' sins, such as lust. He cares about his reputation, and likes to have power in holding that over people, as can be seen in how he enjoys shocking others and carries a deep distaste for the journalist from the Shifting Isles who spoke poorly of his party. He cares greatly about how he is perceived by others, carefully crafting an image he wishes them to see. He is suggestive and playful, though he seems to get along slightly better with Wrath than others, such as Greed, do.
