- "I am the Gatekeeper of the Shadow World. Do you wish to enter my domain, Prince Olympius?"
- ―Gatekeeper introducing himself to Olympius.[src]
The Gatekeeper is a sorcerer demon who guards the entrance to the Shadow World and is the secondary antagonist of the episodes "Sorcerer of the Sands" and "Olympius Unbound".
History[]
The Gatekeeper is a sorcerer-like monster that guards the entrance to the Shadow World, an area where the monsters that had been destroyed walk on forever. After being threatened by his mother Queen Bansheera, Olympius was determined to get back at the Rangers for what they done. After talking Jinxer into giving him the key, he goes to the entrance and confronts the Gatekeeper, who he tells of his plan to teleport the Rangers into the Shadow World. The Gatekeeper agrees and teleports himself to Mariner Bay and attacks the city to lure out Carter, Kelsey, Joel, Chad and Dana. The Lightspeed Rangers come in to battle, and the Gatekeeper successfully manages to transport the Rangers into the Shadow World. After Olympius had gotten rid of the portal to Earth, the Rangers tried to fight back, but were outmatched. The Gatekeeper then used his staff to summon the monster spirits, which the Rangers find out that they cannot destroy. The Rangers destroy the Gatekeeper's staff. When the monster spirits went out of control, the Gatekeeper and Olympius end up trapped in the Shadow World and some of the monsters escape. 
TV STORY-Sorcerer of the Sands (episode)
The Gatekeeper was on the verge of giving up, but Olympius told him to be strong and wonders how to leave this place. Thanks to Jinxer, the demon prince finds out that he has to defeat all of the fallen monsters and absorb their power. He manages to absorb enough power to become even more stronger and assume an advanced form. With enough power, both Olympius and the Gatekeeper were able to escape. Then he fights the Rangers with Olympius and Jinxer. The Rangers were outmatched due to Olympius' newfound power. He then grew giant along with Olympius and attacked the city as well, only to disappear afterwards. TV STORY-Olympius Unbound
