Before Meliodas had rescued him from his life-in-prison sentence, Ban made a living off of stealing things from others. He was often chased and beaten by those he stole from, which he rightfully deserved. He was eventually caught and sent to Aberdeen Prison, where he met a man named Zhivago. The two broke out of prison together and returned back to Zhivago's homeland.
