## Characters

### Team Voltron/Defenders of the Universe

#### Paladins

**Paladin** is the term used to describe individuals chosen by a Lion of Voltron to pilot them. It also is another word for "hero". There can only be one Paladin to any Lion. Although an individual may be allowed by a Lion to pilot them, they are not recognized as a full-fledged Paladin until a Lion truly acknowledges them as such. Only then will they be awarded with a bayard and the true title of "Paladin". Below is the current roster of Voltron Paladins:

* Takashi "Shiro" Shirogane: Current pilot and Paladin of the Black Lion.
* Keith: Current pilot and Paladin of the Red Lion. He is part Galra and part human and now works with the Blade of Marmora, a small group of Galra rebels.
* Katie "Pidge" Holt: Current pilot and Paladin of the Green Lion.
* Lance: Current pilot and Paladin of the Blue Lion.
* Hunk: Current pilot and Paladin of the Yellow Lion.
* Princess Allura: Current pilot and Paladin of the Pink Lion, Princess of Planet Altea and former captain, commander and pilot of the Castle of Lions.

#### Allies

* Coran: Former Royal Adviser to the Altean royal family and chief engineer of the Castle of Lions; also one of the last survivors of Planet Altea.
* King Alfor the Great: Allura's father and the previous ruler of Altea responsible for sending the Lions to the far corners of the universe for protection before dying in the Altean genocide by the Galra. Alfor was the creator of the Voltron Lions as well as the original Paladin of the Red Lion.
* Katty: A space cat and Allura's guardian.

### Galra Empire

* King/Lord/Emperor Zarkon (voiced by Neil Kaplan) - Former ruler of Planet Daibazaal, former leader of the Galra Empire and conqueror of most of the known universe. He was once the friend and comrade-in-arms of King Alfor and original Paladin of the Black Lion.
* Prince/Emperor Lotor (voiced by A.J. Locascio) - The son of Zarkon and a former fugitive of the Galra Empire; the once-and-future heir to the Galra throne who led the Empire following his father's defeat at the hands of Voltron and later his seeming demise.
* Lotor's Generals - Lotor's top generals who used to loyally serve him; they are only part Galra and insultingly described by other Galra soldiers as "half-breeds":
	+ Acxa
	+ Ezor
	+ Zethrid
	+ Narti
* Empress Honerva/High Priestess Haggar (voiced by Cree Summer) - Head of the Druids, a group of magic users in Zarkon's service who gathered quintessence as a power source, supercharged their Emperor with it and created monstrous "robeasts" to fight Voltron. She was previously Zarkon's Altean wife and Lotor's mother Honerva.
* Commander Sendak (voiced by Jake Eberle) - A Galra Commander tasked with capturing or destroying the lions along with Allura's castle. He is the first major enemy fought by the Paladins.
	+ Haxus (voiced by Robert Atkin Downes) - Sendak's second-in-command.
* Commander Prorok (voiced by Keith Ferguson)
	+ Subcommander Ylvik (Mentioned only)
	+ Chief Information Officer Plytox (Mentioned only)
	+ Lieutenant/Commander Thace (voiced by Mick Wingert) - A former Galra Commander-promoted-Lieutenant and spy for the Blade of Marmora.
* Commander Throk (voiced by Tony Curran) - A Galra Commander who originally sought to steal the throne from Lotor, plainly seeing him as unfit to lead the Galra.

### Voltron

Voltron is the legendary giant robotic superweapon made 10,000 years ago by King Alfor composed of 5 robotic lions: the Black Lion, the Red Lion, the Green Lion, the Blue Lion, the Yellow Lion. It was created using special ore from a "trans-reality comet" that had the ability to travel between different places in the space-time continuum. It is that ability that caused Zarkon to deem Voltron so valuable to the Empire, as it would allow him to collect quintessence from the layer between realities. A second comet with similar properties is later found by Lotor, which he then used to create the Sincline ships. A third comet has created the new sixth robotic lion, the Pink Lion.
