* FiveManBand: The Knights of St. Christopher. Each hide has certain talents and traits, and selects champions they feel share those traits. [[spoiler:They are missing Alpha's pelt, presumably the one who's supposed to be the leader.]] The team includes Tundra, the Wise One, bonded to Hamish, oldest and most experienced of the Knights; Lilith, the most aggressive at challenging Hamish's decisions; Greybeard, bonded to pre-med Randall Carpio; Silverback, described as the most powerful and bonded to Jack Morton; and Midnight, The Reckless One, who will bond with anyone who gets close enough.

** TheLeader: Tundra, the Wise One, bonded to Hamish, oldest and most experienced of the Knights. [[spoiler:Apparently filling in while Alpha is missing.]]
** TheLancer: Timber. Described as a lone wolf, and Lilith is certainly the most aggressive at challenging Hamish's decisions.
** TheSmartGuy: Greybeard, bonded to pre-med Randall Carpio. [[spoiler:Presumably, Tundra is intended to slot here when Alpha is around.]]
** TheBigGuy: Silverback, described as the most powerful, bonded to Jack Morton, GeniusBruiser.
** LeeroyJenkins: Midnight, The Reckless One, who will bond with anyone who gets close enough. The current Knights call him "Cannon Fodder." [[spoiler:Alpha calls him the one to make the HeroicSacrifice. Season Two reveals that Midnight really doesn't like Silverback, because of his tendency to act from emotion without thinking and make things worse -- given that Silverback's previous host, Jurgen Sawyer, nearly completed the ''Vade Maecum'', Midnight has a point. Midnight's mission is to keep Silverback in check, lethally if need be, though whether this is official, unofficial, or self-appointed is left unexplored for now. We also get to see Midnight's actual personality, instead of that of his Champion, it pretty much boils down to "kill them all, let. . . eh, I've already stopped caring."]]
** SixthRanger: [[spoiler:Greybeard is probably meant for this slot.]]
