Javan

Javan (voiced by Robin Atkin Downes) - Exclusive to the 2011 series, Javan is a Thunderian based on the Javan tiger and is the biological father of Tygra. His ancestors were shunned by the other Thunderians as the Tiger clan branch of the Thunderians was still loyal to Mumm-Ra. When his kind was inflicted with a plague, Javan choose not to turn to Thundera for aid and instead invoke the power of the Ancient Spirits of Evil to save his people. But once learning their price for their survival is the death of his newborn son Tigra, Javan couldn't bring himself to sacrifice the infant to honor their pact and send him away. As a result, Ancient Spirits the souls of the Tiger Clan of the living world as cursed shape-shifting shadow monsters that obey the Ancient Spirits of Evil's every command. Many years later, while he and Lion-O were in the mountains, Tygra came across his ancestral home and meets Javan, expressing discontent towards the father who abandoned him. It was merely later that Lion-O learned the truth of the curse as Javan tells him not to tell Tygra and get him away from the village before the sun sets. However, upon learning that Caspin and some of his court are going to get rid of his son, Javan fends them off before the curse takes effect and he mindlessly attacks Tygra. However, Tygra's act of humility broke the curse so both Javan and his kin have the opportunity to pass on to the next life. Tygra then inherits his father's whip.
