[edit] Andrew Hartford
Andrew Hartford is a billionaire adventurer who unearthed the Corona Aurora. After doing so, the Guardian of the Crown appeared to him and instructed him on what to do to protect it.
Six months later, Mr. Hartford recruited his team of Rangers to help protect the Crown. With his knowledge and wealth, Andrew was able to create Power Ranger technology. Mr. Hartford himself was ready to become the Red Ranger, willing to face the same dangers those he employed would, but his own son Mack has taken the role. Andrew originally tried to prevent this out of concern for Mack's safety but has come to accept it, and when his son suffers from crises of confidence Andrew has encouraged him to remain a Ranger.
Andrew now manages the technical side of the operations.
Andrew Hartford is portrayed by Rod Lousich.
[edit] Spencer
Spencer is the loyal butler for the Hartfords and has been for years. More than a mere servant, he is a friend to Mack, Mr. Hartford and the entire Ranger team, and has been known to drive the team's Overdrive Truck. After monitoring Andrew's adventures and taking care of the team, he can take second-in-command when Andrew's in trouble. He is also sent on missions of his own on occasion, using his impressive disguise skills. Possessing a dry sense of humor, Spencer is not afraid to tell his employer he may be wrong about a course of action (such as initially denying Mack the morpher) and understands the Ranger's personalities (such as when he gets Will to break into Hartford's safe by talking about how unbreakable it is, knowing Will can't resist the challenge). Spencer is almost never seen without a feather duster or several glasses of lemonade.
Spencer is portrayed by David Weatherley.
[edit] Sentinel Knight
This Sentinel Knight is the original protector of the Corona Aurora. Millennia ago, after Flurious and Moltor had attempted to steal the Crown, the Knight took it upon himself to separate the Crown and its Jewels. This was done in order to stop anyone from getting the power again. The guardian scattered the crown and the five jewels on a distant, uninhabited planet. That planet, those many millennia ago was Earth.
The Guardian appeared to Andrew Hartford after he had found the Corona Aurora, and explained to him about the evil that would come and what to do to protect the crown. He again appeared in order to convince Will, Dax, Ronny and Rose that they were the world's only hope.
The Sentinel Knight is voiced by Nic Sampson.
[edit] Brownbeard the Pirate
Brownbeard is a ghost pirate who was looking for the Eye of the Sea until he met the Rangers. Rose was not happy to see him, as she said she had no time for some fun in her life. He then possessed Rose and made her a pirate. When the Rangers found the jewel, he was about to get away when Miratrix showed up with a new monster, Bombardo, and stole the Eye of the Sea. Later on, he is seen in the city trying to retrieve the jewel. As Bombardo made a buzzsaw tank after placing the jewel in his analyzing compartment out of raw materials around it to destroy the city, Rose came to the rescue with the Shovel Driver. As the buzzsaw tank was destroying a beam to crush Brownbeard, Mack arrived with the Dump Driver to rescue him. Later on, Brownbeard shows up at the Hartford mansion to give the Rangers the jewel. Will tried to fit the jewel into the sword of Neptune's hilt, they realized it did not fit. Brownbeard then gave his lucky pearl in exchange for the Eye of the Sea and Will placed it in the sword's hilt which completed the search for the first jewel. At the end the Rangers take Brownbeard back to Saint Lucia where he was no longer sporting a beard and Rose told him not to tell the others about her enjoying being a pirate. Brownbeard waved off the Rangers, specifically Rose by calling her "Rosie the Bold".
Brownbeard is portrayed by John Leigh.
