All 7 of the deadly sins were once a team before. It seems Gowther is able to
identify everyone on the team, so why isn't anyone able to identify Gowther?

An additional question is why didn't Gowther reveal himself to the group
sooner? I don't see why he would hide his presence from his closest allies.

What's the deal with Gowther's concealed identity?


According to the story, the appearances of some of the Sins changed after all
that time like Ban, King and Gowther himself (well, Ban did say that he didn't
know how Gowther looked in the armor), and besides, since the guys knew about
his armor, and since the monster was big and wearing the armor, they probably
didn't gave it a second thought.

As for the second question, it was because he was waiting for the Sniper (the
guy with bow and arrow, for whom Ban went in the beginning), since that was an
illusion, he was waiting for him to reveal himself.

In a more recent chapter, Gowther is revealed to be a:

> puppet.

Merlin gives Gowther magic stabilizing pills in order to regrow his armor. and
when Merlin uses her magic cancelling power, he turns into his "natural" form.
It seems clear that his flesh grows due to his magic and, if stabilized for a
time, it will grow into an armor. As the armor is part of Gowther, it is
reasonable to think he never took it off.
