Sven

Anime Name: Shirogane*
Rank & Such: Sven was among the original members of the team, serving as their naviagtor and Blue Lion pilot.
Background: I'm pretty sure he's from Earth and by the sound of his accent, Norwegian. Sven initially only stuck around for the first 6 episodes - that's when Haggar, looking to take a member down so Voltron would be out of commission, injured him so badly he could no longer pilot his Lion. Luckily, Allura was able to take his place. Not much was said about him until later, when he showed up as a prisoner of Doom. He was a scruffy, brooding man after having spent time in the Pit of Skulls - not to mention being exposed to Zarkon's cruelty. He was also haunted by what he percieved as failing the other VF members. It wasn't until he met Romelle that his attitude changed, and his will to live returned. Sven never did resume his role in the Blue Lion, opting instead to go back to Pollux with Romelle.
Basic Personality: Not too much was learned about Sven before his unfortunate run-in with Haggar but to me he seemed earnest if not a bit shy.
Moments to Shine: His sacrifice in "The Right Arm of Voltron" made for a valiant start to his hiatus.
*Sidenote: Sven's character actually was killed off in ep 6 of GoLion, Lion Voltron's parent series. Apparently, the man that appears later was supposed to be his brother but WEP changed the story so that instead, the brother was also "Sven". Good thing they looked so similar!
