Professor Palladium
Professor Palladium is an elf who is a professor at Alfea, the school for fairies in training. He teaches Potionology, tecnical charms, runs the simulator, and taught the girls how to listen to the voice of nature in Season 1 Episode 4.



Season 1
In the first season, Palladium can be seen as a very nervous teacher with less confidence compared to the other teachers. He takes the freshman class out on a field trip to Black Mud Swamp where he instructs them to find their way using only the voice of Nature to guide them. Palladium is also the only teacher we see running the Magic Reality Chamber.

Season 2
In the second season he appears to be much more confident and muscular, saying he spent summer break on Planet Buff, or if you go by the 4kids version the vacation realm. Actually, in RAI, Palladium simply evolved his form since he's an elf. The evolution also caused him to be more strict with his students should they get out of line, case in point, when Amaryl was about to attack Stella, he stopped the spell and gave Amaryll detention for one week (4kids version, in the Rai version, he threatened to expell her). He is also shown in various scenes with Professor Avalon and the were constentaly believed to be friends, but in the episode were the codex was taken from pixie village it was shown that he was being used by the fellow professor and was an accomplis in the robbery with no education of the matter.

Season 3
He as a professor rarely shows up in sesion 3 along with most of the other teachers he is only shown in the background or in more unnoticeable ways he doesn't make a big impresion in this season nor does he in the next he has just become one of the unimportant roles in winx club.

Trivia

 * Professor Palladium strangely looks like the Elves depicted in the books and the movie adaptations of The Lord of the Rings, both in his having pointed ears, his hairstyle and his facial appearance. It could be that he was inspired from them, or that he is in fact a tribute to The Lord of the Rings, which is considered both as one of the foundations and a masterpiece in fantasy.
 * He is not of the same kind of elves as those appearing in Pop Pixie.
 * Palladium is the name of a precious metal.
