Who Is Jonathan Whitesell on ‘Chilling Adventures of Sabrina’?

A new season of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina means new spells, new drama, and new characters. Part 3 definitely delivers on all three accounts, especially with a big bad like Caliban on the loose. But there’s another new addition to the Chilling mythos, a character that’s seemingly as good as Caliban is evil. That character is Robin, a guy with a name that is way less grandiose than Caliban.

But who is Robin and who plays the new kid on Sabrina Part 3? And most importantly, especially for Theo, is Robin as nice as he seems or is there a twist involved? Here’s everything you need to know about Robin.

Who is Robin on Chilling Adventures of Sabrina?

Robin is a new kid in town, one taking classes at Greendale High and one that takes a liking to Theo. He’s got an unassuming vibe, which is kinda odd considering he’s got green hair underneath that bland baseball cap. But this being CAOS, you know there’s something extra to Robin and that is a SPOILER.

You ready to know? Robin is actually a member of the tribe of pagans that move into Greendale with their traveling carnival. The pagans aren’t just there to entertain the normals, either; they’re in Greendale to destroy what remains of the Church of Night and resurrect their god, the Green Man. Robin is actually a hobgoblin, a creature straight out of folklore that’s usually depicted as mischievous and prone to pranks (as well as doing household chores). The most famous hobgoblin of all is Puck from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. And fun fact: Puck also goes by the name Robin Goodfellow, which is also the name of the Sabrina character. Shoulda seen the whole hobgoblin thing coming from the jump.

CAOS‘ take on the hobgoblin is slightly different, though. Robin definitely isn’t high up in the chain of command, that’s for sure, but he’s also not really a prankster. He has pointy ears and also the gift of super speed.
