Samuel "Sam" Holt is father of Pidge and Matthew Holt, commander of Galaxy Garrison and engineer of IGF-Atlas from Voltron: Legendary Defender.
==Appearance==
==Personality==
Overall, Samuel Holt can be seen as a jovial, well-meaning explorer, and a consummate science nerd with an endless thirst for knowledge and adventure. An exceptionally kind man, Sam is known to be very close with his crew mates, as he described them to his daughter as being like family. Sam is also shown to radiate BDE, quickly shutting James Griffin up when he interrupts Hunk. He and his wife Colleen Holt were willing to go against Admiral Ellen Sanda's order by telling every single country on Earth to band together to prepare for an imminent Galran invasion, even if it meant that they would be put in the brig. Even when Admiral Sanda threatened him with court-marshal, Samuel Holt bravely stood up to her, even telling her that he was a much more suitable and better choice for leadership than her. Even when the Galran invaded Earth and Admiral Sanda recklessly doomed innocent fighter pilots that had no combat experience, Samuel Holt called her out for being foolish.
==History==
When Sam, Shiro, and Matt were on a Kerberos mission, they were captured by the Galra Empire. And as soon as they were captured, they were taken to the main fleet for questioning, and then they were taken apart. For the next year, he spent a secluded position with other detained investigators, at that time, he and other imprisoned scientists did research and invented new technology for the Galra Empire. Later in season five, Zarkon planned to replace him with Lotor and Voltron. And as Lotor fought against Zarkon, Pidge and Matt rescued him. And as soon as Zarkon was dead, he returned to Earth to build Earth's defense. But as soon as he returned to Earth, Admiral Sanda, the leader of the Galaxy Garrison, forced him to remain hidden for the sake of hiding alien life. But a year later, he and his wife, Colleen, revealed to the world the truth of what happened with the Kerberos mission, and the Voltron Paladins have protected them. And as soon as Sendak and his troops invaded Earth, the whole Galaxy Garrison fought against them. And when the Paladins returned to Earth, they helped them defeat Sendak. And then when the Earth was rescued from Sendak and one of Honerva's Komar Mech, he went to help the universe with the forces of Galaxy Garrison and Voltron's allies.
