Gen had lost his mother and father for some unknown reasons, and was given the Dromus brick by the Tenkai guardian Eurus.

Beni (ベニ Beni) is a pink haired girl who was an accomplice to Gen. She can transform into Venetta, an evil Tenkai Knight with armor that resembles a spider. She seeks to have both worlds destroyed because her father spent more time searching for Quarton and less time with her, feeling that both worlds destroyed her life. She tricked the Tenkai Knights into thinking she had turned over a new leaf, but she and Gen worked together to trick the Tenkai Knights into finding the Dragon Key for them. She later went rogue after finding out Lord Vilius stole the Black Dragon Key from Dromus. She eventually officially turns over a new leaf for real after meeting and spending time with Chooki's cousin Kiro, and becomes the 6th & only female member of the Tenkai Knights as well becoming an ally to the Corekai Soldiers in the season 1 finale.

He seems to have a case of hero worship, but is fairly intelligent. He and his four allies Kutor, Leinad, Senjo, and Tavox joined the Tenkai Knights in Robofusion, granting them the ability to use both the Protojet and the Airlancer Jet at the same time.

Legendary beasts

Tenkai Dragon (テンカイドラゴン)

A gigantic dragon that serves as the neutral defense system of the planet Quarton. It was once under the possession of Vilius and used to exterminate any target and wipe out several Corekai armies due to its incredible power. However, it was defeated and sealed into several fragments by the Tenkai Knights and only the White Dragon Key or the Black Dragon Key are required to unseal it. The team who commands the dragon depends on which key is used to awaken it (Black Key=Bad Dragon, White Key=Good Dragon). When Villus returns, he steals the dragon cubes from the knights in order to revive it. But because Villus didn't use the Dragon Keys to revive the dragon it became unstable and split off by a single blow from Dromus, into 5 white (good) and black (bad) cubes in which the white cubes are absorbed by the Tenkai Knights & Dromus, and the black cubes to Villus respectively granting them their Elemental Titan modes. Later it's revealed that they can use the dragon cubes they absorbed to each summon a separate dragon, a good to the Tenkai Knights and an evil to Vilius (Both Summoned at the same time) for commands.

Tenkai Wolf

Hidden within the Tenkai Fortress, the Tenkai Wolf was summoned after the crest Bravenwolf received from Orangor activated. It granted Bravenwolf a new form and powers and proceeded to fight alongside him to defeat Villius.
