Patrick's family
Patrick
Voiced by: Nicholas Hoult
The main protagonist, a goodhearted peasant boy who achieves his goal of becoming a knight-in-training and squire to the king and queen.
- Badass on Paper: He killed his kingdoms most highly acclaimed knight with a potato peeler, after which he became a Living Legend and when sentenced to fight to the death in gladiatorial combat became The Dreaded even though he was trying to be killed.
- Blue Is Heroic: Patrick's main knight outfit is blue.
- Broken Pedestal: He idolized King Merriman since he was a child, then he met the man.
- Butt-Monkey: He tends to suffer a considerable amount of misfortune throughout the series especially when it comes to assisting Merriman or dealing with his siblings, though fortunately things tend to work out for him in the end.
- Dating Catwoman: His girlfriend Sloane turns out to be The Assassin and the Kings secret niece who was trying to dethrone him. They still have feeling for each other but in a very warped way.
- Deadpan Snarker: His family brings out this side of him. In Season Two after being disillusioned by the Royal Family this becomes his default setting.
- Dude, Where's My Respect?: He defended the royal family from Sloane pretty much single-handedly in the season finale and they were proud of him for about five minuets before the knights convinced them the whole thing was his fault. After that he narrowly avoided being executed and went right back to being treated as an incompetent squire.
- Expy: He bears a lot of similarities to Emmet Brickowski. Both are awkward, brown-haired, beady-eyed, stop-motion animated young adults working under an oppressive government. Both also start out with a perky, Wide-Eyed Idealist attitude before becoming disillusioned over the truth about what’s around them.
- Meaningful Name: Patrick comes from Latin for “Noble”.
- Nerds Are Virgins: Brought up over and over again in season one. In season two he unknowingly looses his virginity to the ghost of Donna.
- Only Sane Man: To his family and the royals.
- Sarcastic Devotee: To spite becoming very thoroughly disillusioned with the royal family over the course of the first season, he'll still reject every opportunity to betray them and defend them with his life, mainly because things will be much worse without them.
- The Un Favourite: Despite being the one in his family with good morals, his parents actually hold Blarney in higher regard.
- White Sheep: Played with. His parents aren't criminals or necessarily evil themselves, but they are still more proud of Patrick's siblings despite two of them being wanted criminals and the other is an alcoholic bum.
Coral
Voiced by: Tara Strong
Patrick's pirate queen sister.- Action Girl: Is easily one of the more competent siblings unlike Blarney (Who's a bum) or Ruben (who gets confused by everybody with robin hood), she is genuinely well known AND gets lots of treasure by at least the head of the kingdom navy. It should be noted that she was the one created the plan that ultimately killed the Kraken.
- At Least I Admit It: She tells Patrick that the royal family is not so different from criminals like her and her brothers when it comes to screwing over people who are less fortunate than they are. The only difference between them being that Coral, Ruben, and Blarney are at least upfront about their actions.
- Fiery Redhead: She is a fierce woman.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Bullying and thievery tendencies aside, she can occasionally be a Nice Girl for a change, like when she allowed Queen Tulip to assist in piracy to show her a fun time.
- Paper-Thin Disguise: She attempted to break into a casino she was banned from with a poor glass eye. It didn't work.
- Pirate Girl: Her whole thing is being a pirate queen.
- Siblings in Crime: She's a pirate and Rubens a Forrest bandit, they're noticeably closer to each other than Patrick and Blarney.
Blarney
Voiced by: Tony Hale
Patrick's clown brother.- The Alcoholic: He has a drinking problem.
- Butt-Monkey: If anyone has it worse than Patrick, it's him. He's homeless and has been hunted for sport more than once.
- Non-Ironic Clown: Thought oftentimes he can veer more into Sad Clown territories.
Ruben
Voiced by: Adam Ray
Patrick's rogue brother.- Expy: Of Robin Hood. He claims that Robin Hood stole his image. And then the actual Robin Hood shows up and ends up getting Killed Off for Real.
- Narcissist: He claims the reason he fell in love with Holden is because it's like having sex with himself.
- Siblings in Crime: He's a Forrest bandit and Corals a pirate, they're noticeably closer to each other than Patrick and Blarney.
- Small Name, Big Ego: Pretty much no one knows who he is.
- Straight Gay: Has sex with Holden in the Minotaur Maze.
Glenn
Voiced by: Breckin Meyer
Patrick's father.- Only Sane Man: Ignoring his anger issues he seems to be where Patrick gets this from.
Doreen
Voiced by: Wendi McLendon-Covey
Patrick's mother.The royal family
King Merriman
Voiced by: Luke Evans
- Benevolent Boss: Tends to Zig Zag between Bad Boss and this. Draconian punishments aside, he does treat Patrick like a friend whenever the latter is on his good side. He also enjoys having his jester around and even leaves him to watch over the kingdom and was heartbroken when he ended up assassinated.
- The Caligula: He sees torture as a “sometimes treat” and is content with using fear as a method of making his kingdom loyal to him.
- Dirty Coward: Whenever he is faced with protests, he just hides underneath his bedsheets.
- Really Gets Around: Has admitted to probably having illegitimate children.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: In the Pilot, when Patrick reaches a Rage Breaking Point and publicly denounces the king and system for their corrupt ways, the King...asks the crowd for a slow clap, and then appoints him as his personal Squire.
- Papa Wolf: He threatens to put Patrick’s head on a spike if anything happens to Blossom while guarding her room.
Queen Tulip
Voiced by: Alanna Ubach
- Ethical Slut: In the pilot, the moment that Patrick says he doesn't want to have sex with her, she lets him go, due to highly valuing consent.
- Really Gets Around: During the annual squire tournament, she sneaks away from the king to have wild, kinky sex with the participants...and accidentally spreading gonorrhea to everyone involved.
Princess Blossom
Voiced by: Maya Erskine
Merriman and Tulip's teenage daughter and the castle princess.- Alpha Bitch: She was very dismissive of Patrick at first and treats her female servants like crap (even constantly fat-shaming one despite them both being the same size). Character Development eventually made her a bit more of a Lovable Alpha Bitch, but she still retains her brattiness.
- All Periods Are PMS: She starts having mood swings when she gets her first period. King Merriman mistakes her for a werewolf.
- Bratty Teenage Daughter: She is almost always irritable and constantly insults her parents.
- The Dreaded: Parodied. The castle workers are more afraid of her than the current assassin on the loose.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She genuinely cares for her boyfriend, Keefer even after he turned into a ghost, and has warmed up to Patrick over time occasionally even seeing him as a friend.
- Lady Swears Alot: For a teenage girl, she tends to have quite the mouth on her.
- Spoiled Brat: Comes with being a pampered princess.
- Valley Girl
Donna
Merriman's older sister, who he keeps locked up in the castle tower.
- Companion Cube: Her human-sized yarn doll and "lover" Daniel.
- Cool Old Lady
- Go Mad from the Isolation: Being trapped in that tower for so many years definitely took a toll on her mind.
- Killed Off for Real: Falls to her death in episode 10.
The Old King
Voiced by: Rob Corddry
Merriman's insane father whom he dethroned and keeps locked up in a faraway castle.- The Caligula: When Sloane successfully got him put back on the throne he was even worse than Merriman.
Knights
Broth
Voiced by: Adam Pally
Patrick's best friend and fellow squire.- Big Eater: Blinkerquartz takes advantage of this in “Let Them Eat Clown” to win the various eating competitions.
- Dumb Blond: Not exactly in the intelligence department.
- Fratbro: He loves women and partying, and always takes advantage whenever there is alcohol around.
- Riches to Rags: Downplayed. He came from money but willingly accepted being cut off completely if he meant he could follow his dreams of becoming a knight.
- Surfer Dude: Has the personality and appearance of one.
- Spoiled Sweet: Casually reveals in Season 2 that he actually comes from money and was cut off when he left to become a squire. He doesn't mind because he believes in following one's dreams even if he means no longer being rich.
Holden
- Ambiguously Bi: Presumably had off-screen sex with the queen (as only Patrick and Broth were remaining in line) and on-screen with Ruben in the Minotaur Maze.
- The Rival: In the Pilot episode, he's this for Patrick, being the most popular candidate for winning the squire tournament.
- Jerk Jock: Along with being the Alpha Bastard. He’s the most popular and skilled squire and is quite resentful for Patrick, especially after getting his ass kicked in the tournament. When he returns after being Not Quite Dead to join the knight training, he is quick to pull a petty and cruel practical joke on Patrick for revenge by tricking Patrick into circumcising himself. Though it does lead to everyone having to get circumcised and Holden getting blamed for it.
Sgt. Meghan
Voiced by: Yvette Nicole Brown
The knight trainer.- All a Part of the Job: Subverted; while she will do the work, she wholly admits to only due it to pay for food for the family. That being she will admit that people like Patrick, who honestly just want to save Blossom instead of getting the reward, are impressive.
- Drill Sergeant Nasty: To the point where she made the entire crew fight Medusa as their first mission.
- Scary Black Woman: As mention above, won't hesitate to sent a bunch of grunts to fight against a group of Medusa even blocking their way out.
Other characters
Blinkerquartz
Voiced by: Seth Green
The castle wizard.- The Gambler: He put a lot of money on Broth's eating skills.
- Only Sane Man: To the king.
Keefer
Voiced by: Ben Schwartz
The Assassin (Spoilers)
Voiced by: Jameela Jamil
A mysterious cloaked figure behind several murders within the kingdom. Their real identity is the castle maid Sloane, who is actually Donna's long-lost daughter Danielle.- Knight of Cerebus: The atmosphere tends to get darker whenever they show up. Even more so when their true identity is revealed.
- Villainous Crush: On Patrick, at first she was just trying to get information out of him but after he successfully defended the king and queen from her she started showing genuine attraction to him. While also wanting to kill him.
- Walking Spoiler: It's hard to talk about them without giving anything away about their true identity.
