King Erendor is the King of Eraklyon and Sky's father. He is the husband of Samara, the Queen of Eraklyon.
Appearance[]
Erendor was only seen in his younger years in Magical Adventure. He wore his crown, with blue robes, but with a shorter cape and a lower collar, the same tan pants he wears now and blue knee-high boots.
In later years, Erendor becomes a big-bellied man with dark brown hair. He is always seen in royal clothes, which consists of a crown, short red robes, a cape and tan pants he keeps tucked into his knee-high brown boots.
In season 8 his hair is a lighter brown, dark eyes, and he has a larger rounder nose.
Personality[]
Erendor is an extremely strict, uptight, hotheaded, no nonsense man, placing duty above all else. It is his great sense of duty that can, cause problems in relationships. He will not hesitate to put people in their place. However, he can and will give praise when appropriate.
He is protective of his own family and his people as shown when he got angry at Brandon during the Exhibition at Red Fountain for endangering his son, as well as prioritizing his citizens' safety during Tritannus' rampage in the magic dimension. This protective side causes him to be stubborn, forgetting the importance of cooperation. Though it takes time, he is reasonable, and is able to see through these flaws and work through them.
Erendor expects professionalism and often disregards personal relationships, such as making Diaspro (who uses this privilege to get between the lovers) his liaison in order to bring Sky home.
Comics[]
Season 1[]
Erendor appears in a flashback in Issue 10 as Bloom explains to Kiko and her diary as to why she is so upset.
The other day, she and the Winx had snuck into Red Fountain to watch the exhibition thanks to Stella's persistence. Bloom had wandered off somewhere else in search of "Brandon" and ended up passing by a group of people that looked very important. These people are later revealed to be the King and Queen of Eraklyon, Erendor and Samara, and Princess Diaspro who she ended up crashing into due to not paying attention.
A short while later, after the fight between Bloom and Diaspro makes it out into the open and Bloom knocks her out of the sky, Bloom faces heartbreak and utter embarrassment as "Brandon" is revealed to be the real Prince Sky of Eraklyon and his father, Erendor, places all the blame onto his squire whose real name is Brandon, believing that he had put Sky's life in danger and therefore failed his mission as a squire. Erendor's words also shock Stella who had been watching from her hiding place.

A black dragon infiltrates the evening. Bloom protects the citizens of Eraklyon by leading the dragon away from the palace, and together with the Winx, wins. Upon her return, Bloom is greeted with applause and gratitude by her subjects. Queen Samara and King Erendor praise Bloom for saving them and her courage. Although Bloom tried to reply that it was her duty and she could not have done otherwise, King Erendor praised her, stating that a true princess does not necessarily have to have elegance or beauty, but rather courage. Having finished his conversation with Bloom, King Erendor announced the continuation of the celebration. The orchestra began to play, and couples began to spin in time to the music.
In The Legend of Eraklyon, he is present at the conference of magical worlds.
