Opening theme
"Unbreakable" by Carpark North (Season Two and Three)
In a medieval yet futuristic world, Clay, Aaron, Lance, Princess Macy, and Axl are five young knights who protect the kingdom of Knighton and it's capital Knightonia from Jestro, the Book of Monsters, and their army of Lava Monsters. They also receive help the Knighton Royal Family, the digital wizard Merlok 2.0, Robin Underwood, and Ava Prentiss.
Nexo Knights
The Nexo Knights are the defenders of Knighton. The Nexo Knights fight the forces of Jestro and the Book of Monsters. Among the members of the Nexo Knights are:
Clay Moorington (voiced by Giles Panton) - Clay Morrington is the Knight of Justice and leader of the Knights of Knighton. Clay is no-nonsense and lives by the Knight's code, dedicated to being the best knight he can (having dreamed of it since being a young orphan). His strictly regimented style occasionally causes him to clash with his fellow knights, particularly the more laid back Lance. His armor is blue and his crest shows a hawk (or maybe an eagle), and his signature weapon is a Claymore, which has the ability to supercharge into the "Sword of Strength". Clay rides around in the Rumble Blade, a large vehicle with two sidecars and a plane shaped like a sword that splits off into smaller vehicles.
Aaron Fox (voiced by Alessandro Juliani) - Aaron Fox is the Knight of Bravery and one of the Knights of Knighton who enjoys thrills. His armor is green and his crest is a fox, and he employs an energy bow as his main weapon. Aaron enjoys employing his knight shield as a hover board, and often attacks from the air. Aside from his shield, his main choice of transportation is a crossbow-shaped fighter jet called the Aero-Striker V2.
Lancelot "Lance" Richmond (voiced by Ian Hanlin) - Lance Richmond is one of the Knights of Knighton who doesn't always have a positive attitude towards training and usually butts heads with Clay. He is very rich and displays a spoiled personality. His armor is white and his crest is a horse. His weapon is his namesake, a lance. Outside the Fortrex, his preferred means of travel is his Mecha Steed, a robotic horse that can convert into a motorcycle. Both forms possess a larger version of Lance's trademark weapon. In "Greed is Good?," it was revealed that Lance became a knight because his parents forced to become one during his childhood instead of becoming a celebrity.
Princess Macy Halbert (voiced by Erin Mathews) - Princess Macy Halbert is the one of the Knights of Knighton, the only female in the team. Her parents are King and Queen Halbert where King Halbert initially disagrees with her decision to join the knights. Her armor is red and her crest shows a dragon, and she carries a power mace in battle. Macy's vehicle is the Thunder Mace, a large motorcycle with twin cannons.
Axl (voiced by Brian Drummond) - Axl is the Knight of Truth. He is a large man who is one of the Knights of Knighton, loves food, and is the strongman of the team. His armor is yellow and his crest is a bull, and he wields a massive battleaxe. When in need of a vehicle he boards the Tower Carrier, a truck pulling a detachable small tower.
Supporting characters
Robin Underwood (voiced by Erin Mathews) - Robin wants to become a Knight of Knighton and is a first-year student at the Knights Academy. His crest shows a chicken and he often employs the Fortrex's weapons during battles with the Lava Monster Army.
Ava Prentis (voiced by Maryke Hendrikse) - Robin's friend and the resident tech expert who supports the Knights in their battle against evil. Ava is very sensible despite her young age, and usually assists the knights from the inside of their high-tech base. She has a knack for programming and high tech inventions such as the computer sword Techcalibur which enabled her to upload Merlok 2.0 into the Fortrex.
Merlok 2.0 (voiced by Brian Drummond) - A digital wizard that helps the Knights defeat evil by sending them Nexo Powers. Merlok was originally a flesh-and-blood wizard who was the last wizard in the kingdom of Knighton. It was magic that saw the defeat of the monsters 100 years previously. When Jestro first allied with the Book of Monsters, Merlok used his magic to drive them out of the capital city. The side effect of this magic caused Merlok to be absorbed into the castle's computers as a result. Fortunately, he was soon discovered by Ava and gained the ability to digitally transmit his magic to the Knights' weapons and armor to enable them to defeat the monsters.
Hamletta - Lance's pet domestic pig. She lives with the knights, Ava, Robin, and Merlock 2.0 in the Fortrex. She debuted in "The Book of Total Badness". When Lance was held hostage by the Lava Monster Army, he was imprisoned in a pig pen where he met and befriended Hamletta. He kept her as a pet after the other knights freed him.
King Halbert (voiced by Brian Drummond) - The King of Knighton, Queen Halbert's husband, and Princess Macy's father. Despite his position, he is rather timid and inclined to panic or worry at the first sign of trouble. King Halbert loves his wife and daughter but isn't entirely comfortable with Macy being one of the knights, and wouldn't have allowed her to graduate had it not been for his queen's intervention. Despite this, he does his best to aid the knights in their efforts to protect the kingdom including allowing them to overhaul his "Ye Old Royal RV" into their Fortrex base. King Halbert also commands a large humanoid mech when the need arises for him to go into battle.
Queen Halbert (voiced by Nicole Oliver) - The Queen of Knighton, King Halbert's wife, and Macy's mother. Unlike her husband, Queen Halbert approves of Macy's desire to be a knight and seems much more confident in tense situations. Macy takes after her mother in terms of both appearance and fighting ability, and the queen is just as handy with a mace as her daughter.
Herb Herbertson - (voiced by Brian Drummond) - Knighton's resident newscaster on the Knighton News Network who recaps past events at the beginning of each new episode.
Robots - The Kingdom of Knighton is home to a number of robots who serve various tasks such as helping defend the kingdom or providing the knights with training partners. Some of the more notable models are:
Squirebots - The helpful robots who fight to defend the kingdom.
Claybot - Robots who wields a Claymore.
Lancebot - Robots who carries a lance.
Alice Squires (voiced by Nicole Oliver) - A robot newscaster who assists Herb Herbertson on the Knighton News Network (KNN).
Chef Eclair (voiced by Brian Drummond) - The Knights' personal robot chef aboard the Fortrex.
Fancypants - King Halbert's personal attendant.
Dennis - Lance's personal attendant who has taken care of Lance since he was a baby. Dennis quit working for Lance in "The Book of Total Badness," but came back at the end of "The Might and the Magic" on the condition that Lance serve him for once a week. In "Storm Over Rock Wood", Dennis quits working for Lance to join Robot Hoodlum's Merry Mechs.
Sir Bricklyn (voiced by Michael Adamthwaite) - The headmaster of the Knights Academy.
Jorah Tightwad (voiced by Brian Drummond) - A wealthy "gold factory" owner who is somewhat full of himself. He obtained the Book of Envy when Merlok scattered the Books of Power across the kingdom, making him desire everything. He was robbed of the Book of Envy in "The King's Tournament" by Macy who in turn lost it to Jestro's forces.
The Tighty Knighties - Tightwad's servants who serve as his counterparts of the Nexo Knights. Although they appear to be skilled with their weapons in tournaments, they are actually cowardly and inept at combat against Jestro and Monstrox's forces. Their names parody those of real-life celebrities.
Shia LaBlade - The Tighty Knighties' counterpart of Clay who wields a double-bladed sword. His name is a reference to Shia LaBeouf.
Jousting Bieber (voiced by Vincent Tong) - The Tighty Knighties' counterpart of Lance. His name is a reference to Justin Bieber.
Brickney Spears (voiced by Maryke Hendrikse) - The Tighty Knigties' counterpart of Macy who wields a modified spear. She is named after Britney Spears.
The Blok (voiced by Giles Panton) - The Tighty Knighties' counterpart of Axl who wields a sledgehammer. His name is a reference to Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
Villains
Jestro (voiced by Vincent Tong) - One of the major antagonists of the series. Jestro was once the king's court jester, but was constantly laughed at due to his clumsiness and not laughed at when he was trying to be actually funny. This allowed Monstrox to persuade him to turn to evil in order to take revenge on his former mockers. After stealing one of Merlok's magic staffs and getting his magic library scattered across the wilds of Knighton, Jestro is guided by Monstrox to retrieve the other books that contain his power. Despite giving in to the Book's pressure and being exposed to the Book of Evil and gaining a monstrous appearance, Jestro harbors doubts about his villainous role before learning he was intended to become Monstrox's new body once he regained his full power. In the season 2 finale, Jestro reforms completely and helps the Nexo Knights save Clay, reverting to his original appearance upon Monstrox's apparent destruction. But in season 3, while making failed attempts to make amends to no avail, Jestro encounters the Cloud of Monstrox who uses his special evil lightning to control Jestro into helping him again.
Monstrox (voiced by Mark Oliver) - The main antagonist of the series. Monstrox was an evil arch-necromancer and former member of the Wizards' Council who terrorized Knighton with his monster armies and the Forbidden Powers a century ago prior to the events of the series until Merlok used his all his magic in a potent spell. The spell turned Monstrox into a sentient book of dark magic known as the Book of Monsters, containing the essence of his monster army that can be summoned from his pages. Merlok also divided Monstrox's corruptive power among in eleven spellbooks: The Book of Evil, The Book of Chaos, The Book of Fear, The Book of Anger, The Book of Deception, The Book of Destruction, The Book of Revenge, The Book of Greed, The Book of Envy, The Book of Cruelty, and The Book of Betrayal. Out of pride, Merlok did not destroy the books and housed them in his library to study them. At the start of the series, Monstrox is found by Jestro, concealing his true identity while persuading the jester to turn evil to aid him in regaining the books after Merlok sacrificed himself to scatter them across Knighton. In "The Fortrex and the Furious" after Jestro turned on him, Monstrox's true identity is revealed along with his need to possess a host body to regain human form. Monstrox originally intended to possess Jestro, but he decides to use Clay instead in "Kingdom of Heroes" where part of the ritual had Monstrox regurgitating the eleven spellbooks. Though Clay uses the Merlok 2.0-augmented Techcaliber to destroy the Book of Monsters, Monstrox survived and became a cloud-like being called the Cloud of Monstrox. Monstrox uses his lightning to corrupt Jestro again to aid him alongside the Stone Monster Army to retrieve both the cover of his old book body and his staff. Afterwards, the Cloud of Monstrox leads Jestro and the Stone Monster Army into obtaining tablets containing the Forbidden Powers and place them into pillars at the top of Mount Thunderstrox to awaken the Colossus of Ultimate Destruction to destroy Knighton.
Lava Monster Army - A group of fiery monsters made of lava that fight the Nexo Knights upon being summoned from the Book of Monsters by Jestro. When the members of the Lava Monster Army are defeated, they end up back in the Book of Monsters. In "Hot Rock Massage", it is revealed that the destruction of the Book of Monsters left them without a job. They wandered the kingdom until they found a Rogul containing the Forbidden Power of Blazing Burn and gained hope that they could build a town for them to live in called Burningham. After doing so, they ended up regretting the crimes they had done under the Book of Monsters' control and were no longer interested in fighting. The Nexo Knights teach them to fight again when the Stone Monster Army planned to steal the Rogul from their town. At the end of the episode, the Lava Monster Army ends up reverting back to their old ways such as fighting each other.
General Magmar (voiced by Garry Chalk) - A lava monster who is Jestro's chief strategist, warrior, and cook. Back when Monstrox still had a body, General Magmar served as Monstrox's right-hand man. He debuted in Season Two where he is first seen leading the Lava Monster Army into robbing from Lance's parents. In Season Three, General Magmar becomes the Mayor of Burningham and the new leader of the Lava Monster Army.
Sparkks - A large horned cycloptic lava monster with bat-like wings on his back who is best friends with Burnzie. Together, they make up the muscle of the Lava Monster Army. Sparkks and Burnzie are large enough to pull Jestro's Evil Mobile.
Burnzie - A large horned lava monster with massive teeth who is best friends with Sparkks. He and Sparkks make up the muscle of the Lava Monster Army. Burnzie and Sparkks are large enough to pull Jestro's Evil Mobile.
Bookkeeper - A dim-witted humanoid lava monster that carries the Book of Monsters around. It serves no other apparent function and tends to screw up.
Lavaria (voiced by Nicole Oliver) - A sneaky lava monster with bat-like wings who serves as Jestro's chief spy. It is hinted in her LEGO.com description and the episode "The Golden Castle" that she was in love with Jestro and vice versa. In Season Three, Lavaria has become a yoga teacher in Burningham.
Beast Master (voiced by Giles Panton) - An eyepatch-wearing lava monster who specializes in ordering the other Lava Monster Army members around to do Jestro's bidding such as constructing and then propelling Jestro's Evil Mobile. He wields two chains with Globlins at the other end of them.

She carries a pair of whips that can cause anyone struck by them to have their greatest fears come to life. Jestro gained the ability to summon her after feeding the Book of Fear to the Book of Monsters which resulting in Whiparella's abilities. In Season Three, Whiparella has become a street artist in Burningham.
Flama - A molten lava monster with a ghostly tail who is the twin brother of Moltor. In Season Three, Flama works at the Hot Rock Cafe in Burningham.
Moltor - A black-skinned lava monster with rocky fists who is the twin brother of Flama. In Season Three, Moltor works at the Hot Rock Cafe in Burningham.

Roberto Arnoldi - Roberto Arnoldi is an Italian accented sculptor who used to work for King Halbert and takes things very literally. One day, he was commissioned to make a "smashing" statue of Queen Halbert. When he literally made a smashing picture of Queen Halbert hammering some Scurriers and Globlins, Queen Halbert was pleased while King Halbert was displeased. After King Halbert fired him and kicked him out of Knightonia, Roberto settled in the Badlands near Mount Thunderstrox where he sold Stone Garden Gnomes that he carved in order to make money for himself. Upon meeting Jestro and the Cloud of Monstrox, Roberto sided with them in order to get revenge on Knightonia where he started by making versions of Stone Garden Gnomes that have pointy heads. Roberto later made a new mobile headquarters for Jestro and the Cloud of Monstrox after the Evil Mobile was accidentally rusted by the Rogul that was associated with the Forbidden Power of Relentless Rust.
