Shiro
Guardian Spirit of Sky
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.
Keith
Guardian Spirit of Fire
Orphaned at a young age before enlisting in the Galaxy Garrison, Keith is somewhat of a lone wolf. Considered to be the most talented pilot of his generation, he refuses to live by other people’s rules, instead choosing to carve out his own path.
Pidge
Guardian Spirit of Forest
Pidge originally joined the team to search the galaxy for missing family members, but then came to understand the larger goal of conquering Zarkon and liberating the universe. Pidge loves and understands all things tech and often finds it easier to talk to gadgets than other humans.
Hunk
Guardian Spirit of Land
Hunk is the team’s mechanic and he’s a naturally good-hearted guy who is quick to laugh at himself. He's got a goofy sense of humor and hates any tension within the group, almost as much as his stomach hates flying. Gastrointestinal issues aside, Hunk is the team’s foodie and he’s constantly assessing alien vegetables to gauge their value in his recipes.
Lance
Guardian Spirit of Water
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.
Coran
Royal Advisor
Coran is Allura’s royal advisor, entrusted to accompany her and keep her safe. He maintains a treasure trove of knowledge in his brain, but like a storage unit that’s been flooded and pushed over a cliff, it takes a little while to find the pertinent information.
Princess Allura
Pilot of the CastleShip
Often all business, Princess Allura is a whip-smart alien princess. Allura is the daughter of King Alfor, the original creator of Voltron. Allura has emerged from a 10,000 year cryogenic sleep to guide the team to defeat Zarkon. Often feeling the weight of the universe on her shoulders, she feels personally responsible for the success or failure of the new Paladins of Voltron.
James Griffin
Galaxy Garrison Pilot
A natural born leader and stickler for the rules, James was Keith's adversary while in school. Although his blunt personality and deep respect for order may make him come off as a jerk, he's actually a really good guy. His natural talents and hard work make him a great leader for the MFE pilots.
Nadia Rizavi
Galaxy Garrison Pilot
A spontaneous daredevil and adrenaline junkie, Rizavi is a natural in the cockpit. Although her parents wanted her to go to a good school and become a doctor, she opted to pursue becoming a fighter pilot instead. She is a ball of energy and is constantly craving excitement and adventure.
Ryan Kinkade
Galaxy Garrison Pilot
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.
Ina Leifsdottir
Galaxy Garrison Pilot
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. Leifsdottir is dry, quick witted, and extremely observational. 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
Conqueror of the Universe
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.
Commander Sendak
Zarkon’s First in Command
Sendak is a cold-blooded fighter and Zarkon’s number one military leader. He lost his arm during his time on the front lines and has had it replaced with a robot appendage featuring a nasty claw and a laser blaster. He will do anything he can to defeat Voltron and earn Zarkon’s respect.
Haggar

Robeast
Gigantic Galactic Gladiator
This Robeast was once the winning gladiator in the Galra fighting arena. Now Haggar has turned him into a giant beast through her evil magic.
Prince Lotor
Galra Prince & Emperor Pro Tem
Prince Lotor is a skilled and cunning warrior who will stop at nothing to capture Voltron and prove to his father, Emperor Zarkon, that he is a worthy heir to the throne. Lotor's sense of sportsmanship is atypical among the Galra, and puts him at odds with some of Zarkon's followers.
Acxa
Galra General
Acxa is a calculating, intelligent leader and Prince Lotor's top general. She's calm, measured and never rushes into action. If the other generals question Lotor's orders, Acxa does not hesitate to put them in their place.
Zethrid
Galra General
Among Lotor's generals, Zethrid is the wild card. As stubborn as she is strong, the only person Zethrid truly listens to is Lotor - to the point of taking his commands to an extreme. She can be cruel and enjoys toying with her adversaries.
Narti
Galra General
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. Narti is an agile, strong fighter and she employs her powerful tail as a weapon. If her enemies make the mistake of letting her get too close, she can manipulate their minds with one touch.
Ezor
Galra General
Talkative and upbeat, Ezor has a reputation for being the "friendliest" of Lotor's generals. She is extremely nimble and uses her acrobatic skills to attack her opponents from all sides. Her chameleon-like cloaking ability allows her to infiltrate highly secured areas and gives her an added element of surprise in combat.
Voltron
Legendary Defender
Defender of the universe, first formed 10,000 years ago to protect the galaxy from evil.

Black Lion
Guardian Spirit of Sky
Piloted by the fearless leader Shiro, the Black Lion forms the decisive head of Voltron. It takes a true hero and skilled Paladin to fly this Lion as it demands the most energy from its pilot. The Black Lion is a courageous fighter equipped with a powerful JAW BLADE that strikes down its attackers. The Black Lion is the most skilled in combat of all the lions.
Red Lion
Guardian Spirit of Fire
This audacious Lion matches its pilot Keith’s fiery temper with weapons like the PLASMA CANNON and HEAT RAY. It requires a pilot that can carve out their own path. The Red Lion is also the fastest of all lions and requires a pilot who relies more on instincts than skill. This Lion is never afraid to push its limits in order to defend the team and will never back down from a fight.
Green Lion
Guardian Spirit of Forest
The Green Lion is the most adventurous of all the lions.

This Lion is a natural at creating technology on the fly that saves the team from critical threats.
Yellow Lion
Guardian Spirit of Land
The Yellow Lion is piloted by the team’s most trusted mechanic, Hunk. This lion is fortified with superior armor and battlements. It is the strongest and most blast-resistant of all the lions. Although this Lion seems like a gentle giant, when duty calls it will always rise to the occasion and do whatever it takes to protect its team.
Blue Lion
Guardian Spirit of Water
The Blue Lion is the friendliest of the Lions and is the most accepting of new pilots. Similar to its pilot, Lance, the Blue Lion’s confidence comes in handy in tough battles against bigger and better opponents and can easily take them out with its powerful FREEZE RAY and SONIC BOOM. The Blue Lion also has incredible powers to operate in water. It can withstand the pressure of the depths and navigate through ice.

The Arusian stronghold and royal home of Princess Allura and her trusted advisor, Coran.
