==Summary==
Keith is a main character in Voltron: Legendary Defender and is the pilot of The Red Lion. A man of few words, Keith is the Red Paladin and the swordsmen of Team Voltron. He was an orphan who spent the majority of his days living in a small house in the middle of a desert, often searching the nearby mountain range for the truth about the Blue Lion.
While being a skillful warrior and arguably the greatest fighter next to Shiro, Keith is also cold and rude to his fellow team members, such as snapping at Pidge for wanting to leave the Team Voltron for personal reasons. But in truth, Keith places as much value on the members of his team as he does his mission and makes honest effort to connect with them no matter how often he scolds someone for their lack of focus. He is not fond of the idea of abandoning a teammate. For all his seriousness, Keith is hardly stoic and is capable of loosening up and enjoying a good bout of fun, happily engaging in or instigating some of the team’s playful antics.
