John McArthur

John McArthur is a cowboy from the year 1864 who was sucked through time to the year 3091, and sent to begin a rebellion against the Voltage. In future chapters he will likely become an ally of the Rangers, not using the Rouge Deck himself due to his technological illiteracy.

Character History
So far, little has been revealed about John's past. His family was from Virginia, and he had at least one  older brother who was fighting in the Civil War on the side of the Confederacy. In 1849, he and his grandfather Earl Benson joined the Gold Rush, despite his parents' opposition. It can be inferred from the fact that he was fifteen at the time that his parents were somewhat overprotective. He became a wrangler at a ranch while his grandfather prospected gold, the latter eventually making him a watch out of some of his claim.

This watch, however, was created from slightly irradiated gold, and when John tried to wind it counter-clockwise, it latched on to a time anomaly and transported him to the year 3091, to the wearer or another (or possibly a future version of his own) watch made of the same type of irradiated gold. Its owner, General Tony Owens of Zone 1, caught him up on the history he'd missed, and having already seen the differences in technology and the like, John accepted it with relatively little difficulty.

Because his watch also had the capability to transport him back to the date the Voltron invasion was traced back to  (May 7, 2011), John was given the Rouge Deck of Zone 1 and sent to the other Zones to gather help.

Personality
John appears to have a very calm, easygoing nature, as demonstrated by the ease with which he accepted time travel and the year 3091. He is intelligent as well, and eager to help the Zones fight off the Voltage.
