Prince Thoren is a Paladin who wields the Earthquake Hammer. He is also Sky's cousin and husband to Crown Princess Daphne of Domino by the Season 6 finale.
Appearance
He has dark brown hair light brown highlights, fair skin and coral blue eyes.
In season 7, ...
In the comics, he wears a red shirt with a white folded collar and white sleeves rolled just below his elbows. He has dark green pants with a lavender belt and a golden buckle, and white sneakers with dark green sides.
Thoren wears a red uniform which has a yellow, oval-shaped gem in the middle.
His outfit is completely green, with golden epaulets and buttons, a royal purple sash and olive colored boots.
Thoren wears an orange shirt with a white undershirt, along with green cargo shorts and white/green sneakers.
He wears a black colored tuxedo with a light blue tie (or cravat), a greyish colored double-breasted waistcoat underneath the tuxedo, and also a white shirt.
Personality
Unlike his more active and headstrong cousin, Thoren seems more gentle, calm and passive. He is also revealed to be more skittish than Sky as he was scared of many things as a child. While Sky came to hate him for an incident during their childhood, Thoren grew envious of Sky for his more daring heroism and his ability to both act without doing so too rashly. Due to this, Thoren formed a small grudge against Sky as he began viewing himself as a coward so, to rectify this, Thoren began acting helpful towards as many people as he could, even those he barely knew. Additionally, he does not do so simply to feel more like a hero either; Thoren seems to genuinely want to help others and can be very friendly to those he wishes to help and get to know better.
Thoren has grown from his time as a scared little kid as he will also jump into battle when he feels he is needed. As much as Sky believed otherwise, Thoren holds a sense of duty and justice close to his, like when he reminded Sky of how he would stay and fight the Treants when they were terrorizing Linphea College. Thoren's desire to help people can also make him naive as he carried Bloom to the Vortex of Flames after being told that it would help heal her by Diaspro, unaware of her deep-seated grudge against Bloom. Upon learning of Diaspro's true intentions, Thoren became enraged as not only was he tricked into doing so but, if Bloom falling into the Vortex of Flames meant her death, it would go against his strong set of morals.
Pre-Series

Thoren and Daphne researching
In the "Vortex of Flames", Thoren and Sky arrive at the palace of Domino and walks into the party hall where he asks Sky if Bloom has ever told him about Daphne mentioning him. Sky paid no attention to him and was preoccupied with his phone. Bloom then calls out to them from the balcony and Thoren greets her and also informs the former of their conversation.
While he continues to be distracted by his phone, Thoren points out to Sky that he is acting rather distant, to which Sky apologizes and leaves, leaving Thoren bewildered.
As the ceremony begins, Thoren watches Daphne as she is bestowed the title of crown princess, he then asks her for a dance in the ballroom. It is then revealed by Sky that Thoren had abandoned him out of fear when the two of them were ambushed during their childhood.
When Bloom collapses, due to sharing her Dragon's Flame, Thoren assistsSky in escorting Bloom to her room. As they make their way past the Fire Eaters, Diaspro blocks them, giving them false information. Sky rejects her "help" and continues on but is attacked by a Fire Eater and collapses. With Sky unconscious, Diaspro coerces Thoren into taking Bloom to the Vortex of Flames. She continues to push him, to which he almost does what she says, until Daphne and Sky arrived. Thoren then backs away and scoffs at Diaspro.
Diaspro then blasts him, knocking Bloom out of his hands. Diaspro then levitates Bloom over the pit, and while Diaspro and Sky bicker, Thoren gathers up his courage and saves Sky from falling into the pit when Diaspro drops Bloom into it.
The Fire Eaters then appeared and as the three readied to defend themselves, he assures Sky that he
