Varkon is one of my favorite characters probably, because like. first we meet the galra empire who are the main villains of this entire thing, and then we meet the Blade who are Cool And Serious Rebels and then Space Mall comes along and we meet the first civilian galra and it’s a goddamn mall cop who is the squeakiest sparkly-clean immaculate lawful good you have ever met.

The rules that govern him are so menial and tedious (can’t leave the mall on a chase since it’s not his jurisdiction) and his resources are incredibly humble (is he the only cop at this dang mall? his scooter goes like 5mph tops) but he is committed danget. This man will fight pirates for this mall. Is he even armed? What was he gonna do if he caught the paladins, fisticuffs? Has Varkon actually punched out a space pirate before? I want to believe. In my heart, I know he has it in him. 

It’s him. here he is. maybe not the single best character in Voltron, but. top ten, easily.
