| ~ One of Lance's catchphrases |
Lance is a protagonist of the Voltron: Legendary Defender series. He functions as a Paladin of Voltron, piloting both the Blue Lion and the Red Lion.
He was voiced by Jeremy Shada, who also voice as Finn the Human from Adventure Time and Cody Maverick from Surf's Up 2: Wavemania.
Background
Lance begins as a cadet at the Galaxy Garrison, a school for space exploration. He, Hunk, and Pidge are in the Garrison in the same year and assigned to the same cadet team. When Shiro, a Garrison pilot long thought dead in space, returns to Earth, they join with him and Keith to discover the Blue Lion.
When the Blue Lion brings them to Arus they meet Allura and Coran who tell them to look for the remaining Lions of Voltron so they can form the mighty robot and defeat the evil Galra empire. While he is initially the Blue Paladin, he becomes the Red Paladin once a need to change Lions arises.
Appearance
Personality
Lance is a very flirtatious character known for his infatuation with any beautiful feminine human or alien he sees. Apart from his one-sided rivalry with Keith and his inflated ego, Lance is a great help, supporting his love interest, Allura, and goofing around with Pidge and Hunk.
Abilities
Lance is a natural sharpshooter and skilled marksman who has often shown his skills by nailing his enemies with powerful shots that are few in number, displaying his rarely seen precision in a fight. His Bayard takes the form of a rifle or a sniper. His reflexes are also extremely quick, as he realized that the drone that infiltrated the Castle was not Rover, and he managed to discern this quickly enough to protect Coran from the ensuing blast, although he was injured himself in the process. Lance is also surprisingly durable despite his light frame as the aforementioned explosion should have killed him. Though he did sustain near-fatal wounds, Lance survived long enough to get to a healing pod, and was even able to wake up long enough to shoot Sendak.
