## Description in the Series

### *The Legend of the Light Kingdom*

The Lord of Order brings Golden Paladin to the pony world to help Princess Aurora built the Light Kingdom, what he does with the help of his brothers and sisters.

In "The Corrupted General", he and the others fight Perfect Scale, who turns against them to take their lights. With his brothers and sisters' help, he is able to defeat Scale and chain him up with his golden chains.

After some time the defeat of Scale, Golden Paladin started to wonder if he could end like him, what prompted him to isolate himself. However, Princess Aurora is able to take that though away from him. After this, Thunder Spark appears and Golden stops Aurora from approaching him, saying it can be a trap. To determinate that, he calls Heartbeat who is able to reveal him as a dark pony and cure him.

After a century, he and Aurora want to go to Equestria to choose the new ruler of Equestria after a problem arises in the choosing of one. The Lord of Order suggest them to bring Heartbeat with them, much to Golden Paladin's confusion as he thinks his diplomatic skills are enough. He changes his mind when Heartbeat finds a solution to the problem.

In order to get more cells and to ensure the imprisoned ones don't escape, Golden Paladin creates Tartarus and adopts Cerberus that becomes his new guard.

Probably, during this time, he and Leaf Mane released Nine-Tails, also known as Kitsune, from Tirek's control, and then sealed the fox inside Heartbeat. When he is able to get out of her, Golden Paladin and Leaf Mane defeated him by sealing his power, what makes him get smaller and weaker.

While they are in a fight with Chrysalis and her Changelings, Golden Paladin sees some Changelings trying to attack Aurora from behind. He tries to defend her, but he can't. But she is saved by Sombra. When Aurora asks Sombra to stay at the castle, Golden Paladin is the only one to hesitate, due to his jealousy, but he accepts. After seeing Aurora going to show Sombra where his room was, Golden is confronted by Heartbeat who tells him that she knows about his jealousy towards Sombra, something that he ends up admitting.

With each day that Sombra stays at the Light Kingdom, he becomes more close to Princess Aurora and that makes Golden's jealousy to increase even more. Heartbeat and Mirror Coat (who is revealed to know about Golden's attraction to Princess Aurora) advice him to tell her about his feelings, but he doesn't listen them. At the border, Golden is approached by the Lord of Chaos who wants to know why he is in that way, but the General rejects him. At night, he sees with a broken heart Aurora getting in Sombra's room after having confess her love for him.

After Sombra found out about Golden's feelings for Aurora and under the Lord of Chaos' influence, he tries to take Golden's light. But he is stopped by Aurora. Later, he and Aurora decides to be just friends.

When Aurora is revealed to be pregnant, only Mirror Coat and Heartbeat know about this, with Golden Paladin and the other Generals left in the dark. When Aurora tells them about the eminent danger that approaches the Light Kingdom, Golden says he would reinforce the defenses.

Golden Paladin puts Kelp in Tartarus and then, growing concerned that the villains would be coming after them now that they probably knew the island's location, wondered what plan of action they should take next. Blackthorn told him that that it was unlikely they would find the island because unlike other islands, the one they were on could sink in the water, while keeping the inside safe due to a protection spell in it.

Confronting the two Generals about their secret, Golden Paladin demands to know about it is, but Mirror Coat responds by saying that each General is entitled to have secrets as they come with their respective jobs, exemplifying by saying Golden himself had secrets. Realizing how he has been acting, Golden Paladin knows he needs to calm down. He then watches as the Tree of Crisis calls upon Star Knight and Bramble for a mission.

In "The Cursed Kingdom", Golden Paladin observes as the place where Star and Bramble will be sent by the Tree of Crisis is revealed, with that being Falancia. He also gets to learn about what really happened to Falancia and feels a little worried about Star's plan to use the magic of his Element of Sorcery. Star notices Golden Paladin is a little off and the latter reassures him he is okay. After Star and Bramble go back to the academy, Golden Paladin asks Mirror Coat to tell Blue Sword to hold the fort while he was away.

In "Infiltrating the Dark Forest", Golden Paladin makes his way to the Trotsylvania Ponynsula, meeting Chief Zephyr and asking him to open a portal to Serenity Valley, while asking Skylar to take him to Quita Moz's nest. Entering the nest, the General meets Quita Moz, asking him to tell him more about the prophecy he had about him. The oracle, despite agreeing to tell him more, also says that he would only do it by morning, something that annoys Golden very much.
