Captured by the Galra while on a mission, Shiro was experimented upon before escaping back to Earth. He returned with a weaponized robotic arm and vital information to lead the team against his former captors. Calm, thoughtful and wise beyond his years, it takes more than a fleet of Galra cruisers to get a rise out of Shiro.

Hunk is the team’s mechanic and he’s a naturally good-hearted guy who is quick to laugh at himself.

Gastrointestinal issues aside, Hunk is the team’s foodie and he’s constantly assessing alien vegetables to gauge their value in his recipes.
Lance is all about having fun, even a million miles away from Earth’s comforts and distractions. Full of confidence and even more full of himself, Lance thinks he’s everyone’s best friend, especially if they’re cute and female. While his cockiness often gets the better of him, it comes in handy during firefights against bigger and better opponents.

Strong, quiet, and determined - Kinkade doesn't make rash decisions. Kinkade has always been an individual who has always been most comfortable observing and reflecting on life. Being a fighter pilot was actually his backup plan. He communicates mostly through disapproving grunts and glances.
Although she may seem like a bit of a space cadet, her innate ability to take everything in and perform under pressure makes her a formidable pilot.

Even though oftentimes she may seem like she isn't paying attention to her surroundings, she's still most likely one of the smartest people in the room.
Emperor Zarkon is the ruthless leader of the Galra Empire. 10,000 years ago, Zarkon fought to steal the Voltron lions from King Alfor. Ever since Alfor sent the lions to the far corners of the universe, Zarkon has been on a quest to obtain Voltron once and for all.

Narti is a Galra general with a past as mysterious as her powers. Though unable to see or speak on her own, she can "see" through the eyes of her cat-like alien companion.

This Lion is never afraid to push its limits in order to defend the team and will never back down from a fight.
The Green Lion is the most adventurous of all the lions.
