Traveller AU Guide (pt.4) Headcannon - The White Lion of the Throne
When the trans-dimensional/reality comets finds it’s place and takes shape of five lions, somewhere in the rift, a byproduct of it is created. It is the enforcer in the Voltron Verse and if Voltron or it’s pilots crosses certain lines... then it will 'correct’ the problem.
- The White Lion appeared in one of the realities in the Voltron Verse, after Voltron have defeated the interdimensional monster in Daibazaal.
- It chose an Altean city guard as his pilot. Alfor, Zarkon and other leaders were surprised, they were expecting that it would choose another leader from another planet.
- Adding to the shock, is that the city guard did not want to be the White Paladin. But the White Lion would not chose another, no matter how the other paladins presented other leaders or highly skilled fighters as potential pilots to it.
- At some point, the city guard reluctantly accepts the role as the White Paladin, but does not want to participate on their duties/missions. Seeing that the White Lion is a powerful solo machine, both Zarkon and Alfor decided that they could take on highly classified missions instead.
- Once, the White Paladin told Alfor about the White Lion and why it exist... if Voltron goes astray, they will ‘kill’ either the pilots or Voltron... or both. And a new comet, a new protector will replace it. The King of Altea accepts the information, but he asked how the comet is infused with such energy... no answer.
- The White Paladin majority disagree with Zarkon despite following his commands and taking missions from him, whether it the Galra culture or the rift. It came to a point that he challenges the White Paladin to a duel to see who’s right among them... while the duel is behind close doors, there are rumors that Zarkon lost the duel.
- The White Paladin instead follows Alfor, and occasionally Blayts... until tragedy struck. The former city guard fled from the Voltron Verse with the White Lion of the Throne. Hence the reason why the Galra Empire became a tyrant force in this universe, because the one who's duty is to 'correct' Voltron or the pilots is missing. And it is also a problem for other realities in this Verse.
- At some point in time, the Altean city guard and the White Lion of the Throne parted ways, She is no longer a paladin/pilot, but she is a friend to the White Lion... And so the lion rest.
- The White Lion then senses the sudden flux in the rift and finds a potential new paladin/pilot. It observes the new chosen and placed in a new Verse to test him... then, the former Blue/Red Paladin, Lance, becomes new White Paladin of the Throne and successor to his former chosen.
Bonus Facts: The White Lion of the Throne is a male, only the White Paladin, Alfor and Blatys knows about this. Also, Lance calls the White Lion either by his name: Weiss (pronounced Vice) or ‘His Majesty’.
