Below are the full details of the series characters given by the Netflix:

 

Jack (Itzán Escamilla): He is thirteen years old and is optimistic, a little impulsive, and quite stubborn. He doesn't know why things burn around him when he gets nervous, and he can't explain his snake phobia either.

 

Victoria (Michelle Jenner): She is cheerful, easygoing, and determined in spirit. She has certain magical powers that Shail is helping her develop, but that right now is limited to healing and connecting with the Soul of Limbhad.

 

Shail (Nico Romero): He's the wizard of the Resistance. When he was a child, a unicorn gave him the gift of magic. Kind and empathetic, he is fascinated by the Earth’s technology. He is Victoria’s teacher and friend and will instruct her on how to use her power.

 

Kirtash (Sergio Mur): He's 15, but he's an experienced killer. His gaze is as cold and deadly, the same as the steel of his mighty Haiass sword. He faithfully serves Ashran the Necromancer, the Sheks' powerful ally in Idhun, and has the unwavering support of Elrion the wizard.

 

Alsan (Carlos Cuevas): He's the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Vanissar. He was educated at the academy of Nurgon in the ideals of honor, duty, and justice, and he leads the rebel group known as the Resistance. He is a great master of fencing, and his weapon is the legendary Sumlaris sword. He will instruct Jack in the art of the sword.
